sorry to make you go to horrible places,but auston plane picture on domi's story

DBSNDHSKJDJD THATS OKAY, the crop function exists for a reason but thank you brave soldier for alarming me

he is so fucking cute its absurd

[3416]

Do you have a pic of Austin saying "Mitchelly"? I've tried searching myself and checked your primer but couldn't find it, sorry to bother!

it's from a thanksgiving video the leafs did a couple years back!! i don't have the link on hand (i'll edit this with it when i do), but i have the video saved on my computer so i'll post!!

[3416]

mitch jumping in to defend auston!!! do you remember the first time it happened? it's only my second season following the leafs so i don't know much about their rookie years

probably the first and most memorable time it happened was their rookie year (i was also not around during this time)... mitch jumped into a fight to defend auston against massive ass 6'4 rasmus ristolainen and tackled him lol... and then in the media afterward they were both extremely bashful about it. auston says mitch is an unbelievable teammate and one of his closest friends and he'd rather have been in the fight himself if he knew it was mitch that was getting in there. here's the video of it / here's a gifset of the fight itself / here's a gifset of their responses lol.... they have always been pretty hesitant to get into fights and scrums in general (i have a hypothesis abt them knowing they're much more valuable when they're nOT in the box or putting themselves in a position for potential injury), but the feistiest they get is definitely about each other specifically lol

[3416]

since you are THEEEEE archivist of all time is there any chance you knows where i could find gifs/clips of the time mitch pretended to fight the goal post after auston ran into it? thank u so so much!!!

here you go fkljsdklfs one of my favorites... here's the link to the tiktok!

[3416]

mitch called auston papi😳do u have a video? totally ok if not

in the belt handoff when auston scored 50, 51 in az last year.... here ya go

[3416]

You seem very knowledgeable and probably know the answer. I'm new to following the leafs, and you have fed my new obession of 1634. But has Auston ever gone after someone who has hit Mitch or tried to hit him?

honestly this has happened more times than i've kept track of, but one of the more recent time was this moment during a blues game this year when a blues player shoved mitch down unnecessarily after the whistle and auston caught him from behind with a hard crosscheck and took a penalty LOL.... he was mad. here's a gifset of it.

and then there was auston mouthing off at hamonic and putting himself between mitch and hamonic after a shove after a whistle just last month.

and then another time a few years ago is when the whole core converged on bellemare for hitting mitch and auston was the first to lift his stick there but it's mostly funny the way everyone circles him lol.

[3416]

hi emma!! idk if you saw this or not it’s not a great video but you can see the moment between auston and mitch after the handshake line

https://x.com/torontosports67/status/1912317235810410818?s=46&t=O-_TcEXXJDGt1zaPPmLjLA

I DIDN'T SEE IT IM FALLING TO MY KNEEESS I KNEW IT... THEY ARE SO PRECIOUS.................... yet again having to take their own little moment to relish that together, i'm emotional (x)

feel like im trying to capture proof of a cryptid here, i need more.....

[3416]

i saw your quote tweet about the leafs not even making the playoffs with that mitch-less lineup and i’ve been thinking that nonstop since everyone started really pushing the “he’s not signing in toronto” stuff the past two weeks and i’m glad you agree 💀 like none of these “fans” have the braincells to realize just how much he does for that team and how quickly it’ll fall apart without him

honestly, it's not even that i think every leafs lineup without mitch wouldn't make the playoffs, but it's mostly people's penchant for underrating what mitch specifically brings in multiple areas of the game and acting like cap space is a good enough replacement for it, lol. there's a reason other teams go out of their way so that doesn't happen... no matter how much you think the 'dna' needs to change, you're fucking yourself over, and frankly brad treliving isn't going to be some crafty expert at assembling a team under such tight constraints. he has a very mid record of this, lol.

it also kills me that people whine and bitch about auston and mitch being put on the same line from the ~spread the offense out and drive your own line~ angle and then flat out put willy there in their mock lineups and give the lineup an unplayable bottom 6. you can't count on big free agents coming here and if they do, toronto's going to have to overpay them. which is what you're hand wringing about doing with mitch marner. anyway, that specific lineup was so atrocious and it would be COMEDY to watch domi-matthews-nylander go against top competition in the playoffs. they'd be destroyed.

[3416]

it’s been so funny (not really) to see the vibe shift the closer him leaving actually got like i think a lot of people have been far more fixated on the idealized concept of him leaving and it somehow being a magic wand over everything than the reality of it so seeing some of the loudest voices online not have as much to say - especially after a playoff run where scapegoating him in particular became much harder since all the big guns played about the same - now that the day is actually upon them is hilarious. like i’ve seen so many backtracky takes from people who did nothing but trash him and he hasn’t even put on the vegas jersey, everyone knows and has always known he’s good and are already bracing for him to be good elsewhere and yet let anyone tell it this had to happen for winning to ever be possible. schrödinger’s marner

this is what gets me the most. like if you hate him and are going to wish he's gone forever so you don't have to look at his face or hear his voice or whatever, fine. you're a child but fine. but seeing some of the more "rational" people fall victim to just Solely saying it's on him for being unable to 'elevate his game' in 5-7 in the playoffs and he's gotta go.. as if any of the leafs have truly done that in any consistent way and it's not a depth problem... and now they're looking at the options left like uh oh. and even next year's ufa pool is gonna dry up i think so like. what now. genuinely don't see treliving spinning some magic here to make an ultra competitive team. they eked out a lot of wins last year on better than average goaltending and if anything about the changes or someone has a bad year.. lol...

hi friend! you are the first and foremost leafs expert in my mind so i am humbly requesting your help to find something for unsavory reasons<3 (thirst edit)

i saw a gifset of our beloved am34 a while back of someone shoving him down on the ice and he was on his back looking up at them grinning, like a freak (affectionate). but i was on the app (derogatory) and it crashed and i’ve never been able to find it again. do you know what moment i’m talking about/what game it was/the source? i’ve been scouring everywhere and cannot find it 😭

here’s a v bad notes app representation of the moment i’m talking about if that helps

first of all..... this ask made me laugh so loudly..... and UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, i would guess you are talking about a playoff game against the habs back in 2021? where these pics occurred?

if so, here's a video i just quickly clipped of it from d*ngle's broadcast at the time. it was on may 24, 2021 if you want to look for yourself, but it's hard to find full game replays and they didn't include this in some of the highlights. here's a tiktok with it too.

if you mean something else, let me know and i'll try to research, lol!! initially i thought you were meaning a game this season where he hit the draw-me-like-one-of-your-french-girls pose in minnesota but he wasn't smiling in that. anyway, i hope this helps LOL
