It’s time for me to eat a tremendous amount of shit.
I grew up an Islanders fan. Two of my favorite days of the year were Rangers Elimination Day and Leafs Elimination Day. Watched Mitch Marner suck for a lot of years in the playoffs. Always fun to root against a team and players that are so incredibly good who fail so spectacularly.
Then #93 comes to Vegas and I’m gonna be honest. I was vocally against it. Watched him suck ass too many years in the playoffs to think he was gonna be any different here.
I’m so happy to admit I was totally wrong and it’s time for me to eat some serious shit. What Marner is doing this playoffs is getting to legendary status. My son, who had been his fan since he got here, is loving me having to admit that he’s won me over.
Flair changed. Jersey ordered. Eating shit has never been so fuckin’ tasty.
