Steam Room: Aliu and Text Messages

steam room: It was a spur of the moment kind of thing, Aliu explained during an interview this past week at a gym near Toronto, according to CTV. A few highway exits from his home, this is where the 30-year-old works out to stay in shape in case some team gives him one more shot at playing. Aliu was scrolling through the timeline on his phone when he saw a report of how just-fired Toronto Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock had mistreated Mitch Marner, his prized rookie forward. I sent it out and didn't even think anything of it, and just went into the steam room for 20 minutes, he said. The tweets went viral, and missed calls and text messages were piling up when Aliu returned. I did a couple of hot-cold rounds in the shower and when I came out it was crazy.
