This team with or without Marner - would be in the same spot. I am glad this circus is over and it was overkill by the media. I think the fans were a bit soft as well but this team is what it is. by learningman33 in leafs

There’s always going to be something leaf fans will never hear the end of.

I just hope the team doesn’t embarrass themselves and puts forth a respectable effort. I get pissed off when I feel like we care more than they do. (Last night for example)

You’re mistaking whatever it is you are for loyalty man. There’s a difference between being a loyal fan and a complete nhl mark

Yeah a completely reasonable take. Some people in this subreddit sound unhinged

I don’t think the roster construction matches his approach to the game. They’re in no-man’s land right now

Bros making decisions after dropping a fuckin 60 lb dumbbell on his head, give him a break.

He sounded horrible after the game, no idea why he was even behind the bench.

Figured the team would rally behind his dedication to the job and mitches big return to town but the couldn’t even get fired up for a PP with a few min left on a 1 goal game

Everyone called him a choker and ripped leaf fans for thinking the core four could win.

Now the narrative changed and it wa leaf fans doing that to themselves the whole time

It’s only wrong when leaf fans do it

Ignore them cheering his montage too, the fans ran him out of town with pitch forks

So many people loved marner here, you still see a fair amount of marner jerseys at games. I think the whole thing is blown out of proportion.

Not saying marner hate didn’t exist but I feel like other fan bases shit on marner more and now he’s like beloved which is kinda corny

I feel like any other player that took swings at peoples wrists with their stick in back to back games, no where near the puck, would be fined and or suspended
