His comment about being a "God" turned me off. Big reason people are happy when the Leafs lose in the Playoffs every year.

Honestly I'd pay to not have to talk to Mirtle or Simmons, too.
You can easily tell who didn't actually look at the article in this thread.

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.

I know it'll never happen, but this is exactly why Toronto needs a second team.
This shit gets ridiculous. People losing their minds.

Marner really has a special skill in how to make others hate him even more.

Toronto needs an NHL team before they worry about getting a second one

This thread is proof positive of how insane and toxic the Toronto market is and why they’ll never win anything.

He was more than that for sure. He was more likely he was about the same as Marner's 6 feet or a little shorter.

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.

If this is Marner Vs. Mirtle, I'm going to be team Marner 100%. Mirtle's one of the most obnoxious media personalities, and that's saying something considering some of the people in hockey media.

I hope he gets out of that cesspool and goes on to live a normal life. If he hired private security it was probably because he actually needed it and not because he didn’t want to answer certain questions. What a joke.
