During today's post-practice presser, Toronto Maple Leafs' Captain John Tavares was not shy about praising his teammate, Mitch Marner as he is now the fastest Maple Leaf in history to reach 300 career assists. This is a big accomplishment for one of the League's eldest organizations. Sheldon Keefe & Morgan Reilly also offered kind remarks re: Marner's uncanny on-ice vision. Watch here:

Marner made sure to note that while the milestone is great, the team's success is all he or anyone else in the room care about. The Maple Leafs have built a reputation as Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde; great regular season but can't generate postseason momentum. So it's important for the team to stay focused on advancing past the opening round of the playoffs.
