Following a loss to the Montreal Canadiens last week, Nazem Kadri took a moment to send a family his best wishes after learning they named their baby after him.
Little did he know that in that moment, he joined another Toronto Maple Leafs family altogether.
Kadri Lee's the fifth child born to Dave and Misty Amey of Kingston, Ontario, who decided to name each of their offspring after Maple Leafs.
The newborn, Justice Tucker (11), Angel McCabe (10), Domi (9), and Colton Orr (5) are all named after players that personify what it means to play for the logo, at least in Dave's eyes.
"Those guys, they don't get all the recognition but they do the grittiest, the grindiest work out on the ice, night in and night out," he told The Toronto Star's Sammy Hudes and Brennan Doherty.
He added: "If I were to have another baby next year, there's no way on earth I'd pick Auston Matthews."
To be fair, Matthews is missing the requisite pugnacity.
