Does Marner get Boo’d?

[ACC1224]

I will be cheering for change in marners attitude for sure. If he figures it out I will be cheering for him.

But ultimately I am a fan of the Toronto maple leafs and want team success over everything.

Not sure what his attitude has to do with anything. He shows up every night and produces at both ends, underperforms in the playoffs like the rest of them.
We're all fans of the team and want success.

I’m a blue collar guy. Marners attitude in the media is tiresome. He’s never the problem. “We had the looks”, “unlucky”, “the bounces didn’t go our way”. It’s annoying to listen too and not relatable for people who never get “bounces” in life.

This guys has never appeared to get uncomfortable for team success. Never take a hit to make a play. Nothing. I can remember his blocked shot years ago against Washington(?) In the playoffs. That’s the last time he put the team before himself.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Of course not. The only way Mitch is getting booed is if the whole team is playing like shit and they’re collectively booed.

He's terrible in front of the mic, don't listen to it. All that should matter is the play on the ice.

I get they shying away from contact, he's never going to be that guy. Nylander may be worse for that which is even more disappointing for a player of his size.

 

[al secord]

No, he should accept a move if he’s told he won’t be part of the plans moving forward.

What move is he accepting?

 

[Trapper]

For those spending money on tickets:
You want to get your point across go to the game and waive the sign:

Don’t boo Marner, shame Shanny, Tre and Pelley.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Of course not. The only way Mitch is getting booed is if the whole team is playing like shit and they’re collectively booed.

The only other way I could see him getting booed is if it comes out that he nixed a trade and states that he has no intention to negotiate during the season.

But even then, I don’t think it would be a every game thing.

The media stuff is the tip of the iceberg for me. I am a diehard and I will always watch interviews. This is more than his “on mic” issues.

This is going to ruffle some of marners fans feathers here but here we go: *tinfoil hat warning* I feel he wears an “A” because he demanded it in his contract as Matthews had one. He is not a leader and shouldn’t be anywhere near a letter. I believe this is why ROR left. Marner is not a leader but is entitled enough to speak his mind in the room. Championship winners have left this team.

Back to reality, Nylander actually threw some hits this playoff, and while he will never be the first one in the scrum, he’s never actively avoided going for pucks out of fear, and we saw Marner take this route a few times in April. I don’t really care about game 54 in the reg season, when it matters Marner is just not that guy.

Read what I said Al. I said if. If he’s told he’s not in the plans moving forward.

You created a thread about booing one our our own players based on the hypothetical?

 

[PROUD PAPA]

He won't get booed. People are forgetting it's a contract year and the girls love their money.
Career highs and no booing this season.

Ya, that’s what this is…

Based on results so far I’m not really that far off base.

I think it goes a bit deeper than just being bad in front of the mic. The attacks on the media and fanbase blaming them for putting shambles in their brain is unnecessary and just more excuse making.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard him or Matthews say I need to be better, or that my level of play is unacceptable or something along those lines.

It’s always we had looks, we were right there, blah blah, followed by some random unprovoked rant about the media/fans.

I think he is just immature

Based on some of the response here I was beginning to believe that I was the only one seeing this.

I’m glad I’m not alone in my observations on his attitude towards the media and fanbase.

 

[Niagara Bill]

Those are valid thoughts but not a reason to boo a player.
They should have moved on from Nylander to initiate change, keep the better players.

They chose Mitchy over Hyman..
Mitchy at 7.5 would be great
If that happened Willie would have gotten 8.5max

 

[KaN19]

This fanbase is nowhere near as harsh and unforgiving as some people make us out to be. Don't equate large with brutal. New York, Philly, Boston, Montreal etc. are all much more nasty.

If Mitch starts the season on a heater the casuals and suits who can afford to attend the games will cheer him.

The toughest people in the Toronto market are the player agents.

Fans get some heat on here for being “toxic”, like the players are reading our little posts on a fan message board LOL

 

[BraveCanadian]

I don’t think so.. normal fans haven’t been trapped in the scapegoat echo chamber like some of the (very) vocal minority here.

 

[Da Mash]

I wouldnt boo him at all. Not his fault for the NMC...they gave it....he signed it.

Tre has given out NMC too....so do we boo those players too?

Show some class and cheer for your team and its players. Lets not be classless , we already embarressed ourselves over our all time points leader exit.

Lets try to be better.

Marner wants to be a leaf....cant hold a grudge over that. And if he drifts off to free agency and we get nothing in return, then blame management...they let the NMC kick in.

If Marner leaves , then I have a feeling fans will find another whipping boy. Nylander is a early favorite followed by Taveres this year.......Reilly still gets a pass but there is no excuses if Tanev plays beside him now.

The team also has to win and look good doing it. Hoping Berube is the one to get these guys working hard game in and game out like they did in regulation of games 5-7 vs Bruins. I'm trying to forget the effort in OT of game #7.

This and the fact his camp has been openly hostile and playing the victim towards Leafs management right from the on-set, crying afoul because he didn’t get the same rookie ELC bonuses that Matthews got who was drafted 1st overall…

It’s a weird tactic between that and the media relations, and most definitely isn’t helping his game on-ice - rather it’s probably putting added pressure on him.

I don’t get responses like this.

We are fans. We’re allowed to be emotional and invested in this.

So you want a safe space for all the players, to demand every penny and not be accountable for their shortcomings?

No wonder Shanny doesn’t want changes..

Definitely immature and dumb as a stump and cares too much. (which is weird that people hold that against him)
I don't care about that media stuff though, I mostly ignore it.

Matthews is similar, but always escapes the scrutiny.

This is a trend with Ferris. His clients are often walked to FA and holdout for every penny.

Montreal traded Mike Cammalleri in the 2nd period of a game. The GM went on record saying if you want loyalty get a dog. If people think it’s harsh here, it’s mild compared to some.

Yes they should all be accountable yet your fixated on one.
