Pair of Maple Leafs show some personality, re-enact funny Family Guy scene
The Toronto Maple Leafs took part in their annual Leafs Golf Classic on Monday - a traditional precursor to the start of Leafs training camp. A number of players met with the media on Monday before the event, including three new faces in Max Domi, Ryan Reaves and Tyler Bertuzzi, who addressed the Toronto media for the first time in person as members of the Leafs, showing plenty of personality; especially Reaves.
They weren't the only players showing some personality on Monday, however, as William Nylander and Matthew Knies did their best re-enaction of a funny Family Guy golf skit, with the Peter Griffin and Lois Griffin's voices dubbed over their own in the video as they lipsynced along.
We often hear about how players don't show enough of their personalities in the NHL, often sounding robotic during interviews. Part of this, I'm sure, is to maintain an even keel, so as to not fluctuate too much with the good games and the bad, but fans often want to see the real person behind the athlete. In that sense, Nylander and Knies did well here to show fans who they are behind the jersey and away from the microphone. Just a couple of fun-loving guys who also happen to be great at hockey.
