Maple Leafs guess how many chicken nuggets can fill goal crease

The Toronto Maple Leafs had to do some serious math on Wednesday.

Before practice, the Maple Leafs were asked to guess how many chicken nuggets it would take to fill the goal crease in a funny video posted by the team on Twitter.

The Maple Leafs had a wide range of answers from 25 to 500 to 1,000 to 50,000.
No one took the question more seriously than Auston Matthews and Mitchell Marner who intensely studied the crease from the glass.
Marner changed his answer multiple times from 25,000 to 2,500 and gave 15,000 as his final answer.
"15,000… what a ridiculous answer," Matthews chirped at Marner as he walked onto the ice.
Marner ended the video changing his answer again to 1,500 or 2,000.
The San Jose Sharks got in on the fun, replying to the Maple Leafs that they need to show the answer by putting chicken nuggets in the crease.

After practice, the Maple Leafs were shown the approximate answer on a whiteboard which was 3,105 chicken nuggets. Michael Bunting, who guessed 2,400, had the closest answer.

"Let's go! I'm smarter than Harvard [Alex Kerfoot]," Bunting responded to his win.
Marner tried to argue his guess was closer, but the Maple Leafs admin called him out for changing his answer multiple times.
Ryan O'Reilly claimed his very off guess of 274 nuggets was because he thought they meant chicken tenders.
It wouldn't be a surprise if a few skeptical Maple Leafs took the chicken nuggets experiment into their own hands next practice.
