Former Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner made some questionable comments on Tuesday, and now, some Leafs fans are upset with the Golden Knights star.
Mitch Marner is starting to find his footing with the Las Vegas Golden Knights, and that is a nightmare scenario for Leafs fans who want the forward to fail.
His departure from Toronto was seen as the ultimate betrayal, and now, he is playing for a team with much better chances of winning a Cup than the Leafs.
Having said that, the Golden Knights had a huge 7-2 win against the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night, and it led to some interesting comments from Marner.
When asked about what he wants for Christmas, the forward revealed that he wants a long postseason run, which is an obvious dig at his former team.
Mitch Marner upsets the Leafs fanbase
This led to calamity on social media, as some Leafs fans were absolutely livid with what they were hearing, and they let it be known.
Below, you can see what some fans had to say about it all, and as you can imagine, it was not particularly kind towards Marner.
When it comes to Leafs fans, they clearly do not like the guy, and that really shines through in the discourse around the superstar winger.
At this point, there really is nothing that Marner can do to rectify the situation. Leafs fans do not like him, and it will probably stay that way for a while.
Having said that, the Maple Leafs are going to have to learn to move on; otherwise, they will forever be stuck in a cycle of envy.
Only time will tell whether or not it is the Leafs or the Golden Knights who get the last laugh.
