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

[Nikolajs Sillers]

He can hire Matthews for a summer time as he looks like cartel baron.

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

It seems more of a poor thread title by the OP and many posters who didn't bother to actually read the article. Though it is pretty bad for a national newspaper too publish an article about some thing Mirtle heard and then said on his podcast.

He needs to join Gaudreau in Columbus. He won't need protection from the fans there.

Or have to worry about playoff performance. Ottawa would be another good destination in this regard.

 

[Bruce Granville]

I think he hired security for tax reasons.

if i made $11M a year you bet your ass i'd have private security too

I wonder if Marner does. Mirtle heard that he did. He said so on his podcast. He doesn't quite make $11M.

sure, but if you want to split hairs he probably makes a hell of a lot more including sponsorships and promotions

But do you think he has private security?

So, you want to make huge bucks and play in Toronto, Mitch? There are consequences.

If you had 1/10th of the jam that Keon, Salming, and Gilmour did you'd be beloved.

He should have a bodyguard. Wasn't it last year that his car got stolen and he had to take the bus?

The have a canon for that

 

[Xirik]

on one hand there might be a legitimate security threat but on the other he is the guy who said he feared for his life when Devils fan's threw a burger near him.

 

[Icarium]

What's with the comma after Marner?

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Ryan Reeves can be Marners personal security.

 

[MrKabukiman]

He’s gonna be rolling into Scotiabank like Xerxes.

The son of Darius?

Gaudreau jumped so high that 1st time it shot during his 1st game with the team. Marner would be on the roof like a cat.

Funny, in the last 72 hours I've read on the main boards more of misquoting and misrepresenting what Marner said (saying he called himself a god which btw has a thousand likes on front page).

Leafs market can be toxic, but neutral fans are equally as toxic and help drive these toxic narratives through social media. Also reading some the things said about Keefe today, the main board thread is way more toxic than the Leafs board one.

 

[SantosHalper]

Jeez for sake of his mental health, he should get a hell out of Dodge.

 

[Heffyhoof]

You can easily tell who didn't actually look at the article in this thread.

Gotta have the first opinion and the one that seems the most virtuous based on a 1 sentence understanding of an issue.

He was a victim of armed carjacking at one point. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6774482

If Mirtle heard it, then it must be true. Amirite?

I dunno if we can put this one on the toxic Toronto market. Matthews has failed his entire career as well but he doesn't get nearly the reaction Marner gets. Marner just has a unique unlikability it's hard to put into words. He's just the kind of guy you want to see fail and it even seeks into his own fans eventually.

But the level of hate against MM is to a new level. JT should be getting more of this hate

They didn't want his autograph, they only wanted the car.

 

[BTP]

Ridiculous how much hate he gets. He is easily the player I've enjoyed watching most over the past decade on this team.

If he goes somewhere else, he will f***ing light it up.
