The London Knights held a Twitter Q&A with their co-captains, Mitch Marner and Christian Dvorak. Marner is, of course, of significant interest to the Toronto Maple Leafs, what with how he was their fourth overall pick and is a big part of the team's future and all.
So with that said, let's gain some additional insight into one of the new great hopes for Toronto, via his answers to silly Twitter questions. Because what better way to do it?
The Leafs stuff
First, when asked which is his favourite NHL team, he had a pretty obvious answer:
Go @ArizonaCoyotes! - DVO … @MapleLeafs all the way! - Mitch #AskTheCaptains https://t.co/jqUOWP72av

Thanks Mitch.
His favourite NHL player comes as no surprise, either:
Growing up I was a big fan of Doug Gilmour! - Mitch.. Toews is a big inspiration to me - DVO #AskTheCaptains https://t.co/AaoqysgEHX

And on his fellow Leafs prospect, William Nylander:
Great guy.. but better hair - Mitch https://t.co/G8Cf1h9DY6

True. This is true.
Other sports
His choice for favourite Blue Jay is a good one:
Donaldson! - Mitch… Price - DVO #AskTheCaptains https://t.co/F7nthmvguB

His choice for favourite sports movie, though? Uhh...
The Blindside! - Mitch … I love Miracle - DVO #AskTheCaptains https://t.co/7BGgUrPglT
— London Knights (@GoLondonKnights) November 11, 2015
... Not a hockey movie? Uhh, Mitch??
Favourites
His favourite musician?
Bieber fever! - Mitch & DVO #AskTheCaptains https://t.co/XorvRplMSa

(That's the part where you feel old, I think.)
Favourite TV show is a bit better:
Walking Dead! - Mitch.. Friday Night Lights - DVO #AskTheCaptains https://t.co/dCJ2lZtDFz
— London Knights (@GoLondonKnights) November 11, 2015
And of course, on the age old questions of cats vs. dogs, the boys know what they're talking about:
Dogs! - Mitch … Dogs, easy question #AskTheCaptains https://t.co/IH7KfX2sKG

Aspirations
When asked if it was Marner or Dvorak who was the Batman to the other's Robin:
I AM BATMAN! - Mitch #AskTheCaptains https://t.co/9M6NkLmkAj
— London Knights (@GoLondonKnights) November 11, 2015
Good.
Lead singer because of my unreal dance moves! - Mitch #AskTheCaptains https://t.co/6YWj1bNG9c
— London Knights (@GoLondonKnights) November 11, 2015
Where's the evidence, Mitch? Where are the receipts? Are the Leafs going to have to hold a dance off as part of their next development camp? (Actually, can they do that anyway?)
As for bucket lists, Marner's is pretty interesting (and hopefully not injury-inducing):
Witness the Chicago Cubs win the World Series - DVO .. Swimming with sharks! - Mitch #AskTheCaptains https://t.co/Cm1DEUbSFm
— London Knights (@GoLondonKnights) November 11, 2015
Will playing against the San Jose Sharks count? Because that's going to happen one day.
And finally, the important stuff...
Is a hot dog a sandwich?
You can look at it in two ways, just like is a glass half empty or half full - Mitch #AskTheCaptains https://t.co/HbG4zoq6SY

That's probably the most media-friendly answer to that question I've ever seen. Nothing in there to anger anyone on either side of the isle. He's ready for the show.
