Former Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner recently spoke to the media, where he discussed the difference between playing in Toronto and Las Vegas.
Mitch Marner is now playing for the Las Vegas Golden Knights, and as you can imagine, fans are very interested to see how this will play out.
Toronto Maple Leafs fans, in particular, will be invested in Marner's exploits in a new city, although there is no telling whether or not he will be successful.
What we do know is that there will be a lot of attention on Marner, and the pressure will be just as prevalent as it was in Toronto.
Mitch Marner on Toronto and Las Vegas
While speaking to NHL.com, Marner offered up his perspective on what is different about Toronto and Las Vegas. Mostly, it has to do with being left alone.
«I find that when you're sitting down anywhere in Toronto or Muskoka, you always notice people from far away with the phones and the cameras, and even a couple of them stopping you and asking,» he said. «It's just been different here. People know their hockey here but it's not all the time. I've got nothing bad to say about the way it was, but it's definitely a new perspective."
Marner has noted that the time change has been different as well, although he mostly spends his time watching the mountains.
«The time change is a little bit new to us at the start of things, but now everyone's changed into it. It's been great. It's been a lot of fun, waking up early mornings with the [baby's] smiles, and then going downstairs, sitting on the patio furniture and looking at the mountains, just relaxing."
Clearly, his time in Las Vegas has been good, and he seems to be happy to be surrounded by his teammates.
«The team has been great, and so have the players and all the wives, making us feel at home and helping out Steph too.»
Only time will tell whether or not Marner's playing experiences are just as productive.
