No matter where Mitch Marner (or any of the other young leafs for that matter) go, Patrick Marleau always seems to get involved in one way or another. We recently saw the two jam out together in a YMCA Instagram story and the Marleau kids seem to have also developed a close relationship with the 21-year-old. Needless to say, the Marleaus are a popular family on the Leafs.
Marner and teammate/buddy Zach Hyman were recently spotted gaming with Fazeclan's Brendan O'Brien and there was one strange detail in a picture taken of them. Christina Marleau (Patrick’s wife) was quick to point out that their all-too-familiar photo with Marner and Matthews was hanging on the wall.
What an addition!
For some context, the picture was taken around Christmas time last season at the Marleau residence before an “epic” floor hockey tournament. The photo became so popular with Leafs nation that they actually had a chance to pose in the Marleau photo during the Leafs’ 2018 playoff run outside of Scotiabank Arena.
We’ve gotta say, as weird as it is to have that photo hanging on the wall, the Marleaus do look like the perfect hockey family. We don’t mind the decor at all!
