We've let this guy's emotional state dominate the team. It's too much. The Anaheim game was just a complete embarrassment. Defensive lapses costing the team, emotional outbursts. Soft play. This guy is just the wrong stuff.

I'm not saying he's a garbage player. But he is just NOT clicking in Toronto. He acts like a spoiled child in every aspect of his life. Hopefully a change of scenery can change his head, but holy shit please get him off this team.
The fact he smiled and "oh well it happens" after giving up his second goal, fills me with so much rage.

I'm sure someone will post advanced stats proving he dominated out there tonight

Once Mitch walked off the bench and came back, Keefe should've told him to get his ass back to the locker room, have a shower, and get the hell out of here.

Tantrums/60 were off the charts. Embarrassing display.

I didn't know how trump huuuuge this thread would become when I created it...... seems like this sentence of marner will haunt him forever. I did know though when I did it, that this sentence was very weird and wrong.......... not needed. Now it haunts him and us as long as he plays :0

This is getting unreal for surely
I havent been this embarrased as a fan and follower in a long time.............................. never seen that with a grown man hockey player. Ever.
He's playing like he was in the Montreal series; trying to do WAY too much. He just needs to make a simple play and we we likely win this one 3-1.
Marner will never live that moment down…… ever.
The guy is a pretend grown man.
That loser should have been traded a long time ago.
Tannenbaum should be working the phones right now to ship him somewhere before the leafs next game.

He’s never learned. This is one of his features. And you can’t rely on it when the pressure is on.

Imagine Marner signed for something like 9.5x8 without all that negotiation drama.
Fans would see him as a loyal local guy who keeps putting up 100 points. He'd be adored. He'd slump sometimes, and everyone would be like "He clearly wants to be here and will still get his points. Cut him some slack".
But fans of his soured after all that bullshit surrounding his overpayment. He wasn't loyal to the city. He fought for every possible red cent he could, without caring in the slightest what it did to our depth. People don't forget. We still like him when he's doing well, but everyone wants blood when he's slumping. We pounce on every word he says to the media. And it could have been so different. He really did this to himself. What did he expect would happen? Outrageous contracts come with outrageous expectations.

I mean, he just leaves to vent it seems. Likely not about Keefe, but about his two giveaways that lead to goals.
But I don't like how after the game he said he's still "very confident" and essentially blamed the media for trying to make them lose faith in themselves.

Yeah like have some guts in what you did and speak with conviction. Turn it into a media circus and blame the media. What a goober.

So Babcock was right all along regarding Marner.

No he wasn't - Babcock was a POS and the Leafs were underperforming under him as well when he was fired.
I have my qualms with Marner but I don't see the same issue a lot of people are seeing with him going to the hallway and breaking a stick because he's pissed off.
He didn't try to make a show on the bench, etc.

Babcock was right to want to challenge players to overcome difficult moments. He was wrong in how he went about doing it..
There are plenty of tough coaches who do similar things (ie guys like Trotz) and you don't hear about them being jerks when they do it, they're more professional about it

Spoiled brats don't like being put in their place. You enjoying the results of enabling it?
