Marner has reportedly hired private security and is refusing to speak with some members of the media

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Here is the full quote from Mirtle: Did Marner hire security to harass Reporters he did not like certain questions? If so, this is a first for me following the game. Or is Mirtle just just airing out some dirty laundry since Marner ghosted him?

“Regular season, he’s been a great, great player, and I think we’ve written that. But there’s such a sensitivity there. And, so you hear about all these feuds going on, and you hear about he’s got private security people that harass media people, and there’s just, there’s really weird stuff that’s going on,” reporter James Mirtle of The Athletic said on the podcast on Tuesday, via Maple Leafs Daily.

Meh. If he feels like he needs security, so be it.

He says he wants to stay. Tell him, "Okay, you can stay, but you're gonna take a pay cut". He certainly can't need to money. If he's willing to play for $8.5M/yr, resign him.

Every player should have this kind of security, especially in the largest market in Canada.

I'm not saying it's deserved, but when you absolutely bend the organization over in contract negotiations, and follow it up with 5 years of some of the worst playoff performances ever, I find it hard to have sympathy

Yeah, that totally justifiable.

It's just sports. People who take it so seriously to the point players gotta hire security need to go outside and get an actual hobby. Borderline incel behaviour.

Do we? The National Post has a report of Mirtle hearing that somewhere, but is there a report or something about Marner actually have security to "to harass reporters who ask tough questions and hurt their feelings..."

I would be surprised if that's true.

Tavares goes for a walk every day through Toronto, lives downtown. Nylander takes the subway to games. Marner is scared of the public? I guess it's possible he has anxiety from being robbed at gunpoint, which is fair, but would be quite the exaggeration to blame that on the media.

Mirtle sounds butthurt as f***. Dudes either making shit up or spreading rumors. Why would you say something like that as a journalist without substantiating it? “You hear about” it? You’re literally the most qualified profession to follow up on a rumor and get to the bottom of it before spouting it out to the public (read: your job). What a hack.

I think his time is finished in Toronto. It's all turned into a major distraction that management shouldn't like going forward but who knows with our shit-ass management.
