Las Vegas Golden Knights forward Mitch Marner is being asked about his return to Toronto, and as it turns out, you won't hear him say much about the Maple Leafs.
Mitch Marner's return to Toronto is something that Maple Leafs fans have been waiting for this season, and it appears to finally be upon us.
Tonight, the Leafs will take on the Golden Knights in a game that has major implications for the standings. The Leafs need to win to keep their playoff hopes realistic.
Meanwhile, the fanbase is going to be energized against Mitch Marner. The assumption is that there are going to be boos raining down from the rafters.
Overall, it's going to be a fascinating game, and we cannot wait to see how all of this is going to play out. That said, it feels like this is going to be a chaotic evening at Scotiabank Arena.
Mitch Marner doesn't want to talk Maple Leafs
Today, Mitch Marner met with the media, where he was asked a flurry of questions about the Maple Leafs and how he feels being back in the city.
This led to a strategic non-answer from Marner, who made it clear that he has no interest in looking back into the past for some sort of nostalgia.
I don't want to look back anymore. I don't want to look in the past.
For a lot of Toronto Maple Leafs fans, this is the last thing that they wanted to hear from the forward, and we can understand why.
However, Marner has always been cold with the media, and this is yet another example of that. Quite simply, he is just protecting himself and his teammates.
Regardless, there is no denying that his actions are leaving Leafs fans feeling divided ahead of this matchup.
