Mitch Marner says Leafs aren’t frustrated: “We gotta ignore what everyone else says. We know we’re a great hockey team. We show up every night. I mean, this last four games that we’ve had leads, we’ve played some awesome hockey, some great hockey.”

Well as a fan of this team, I sure am frustrated

  1. Nice to see the attitudes of the perennial losers they brought in to be leaders for this team while the core was young rubbed off on them.

  2. Marner just oozes entitlement. What bothers me even more is Matthews basically echoed Marner’s remarks. Which tells me the coach is filling their heads with this bullshit. This team will never win with its core players being this nonchalant with losing. 

    This team has absolutely zero leadership. They need to clean house. Keefe and the entire coaching staff out. Tavares stripped of the C. Enough of the entitlement, it’s time for these players to earn it. 

  3. Why do they let him talk to the media?

    He has nothing of value to say ever. Same shit after 7 years with him.

    Please let him go next offseason. He’s not worth the raise he’ll demand.

  4. Marner needs to look at the standings, look at his teammates’ stats, look at his own stats, and review games. He can’t say shit like that.

  5. Marner always knows how to say the worst things at the worst times. He’s going to get eaten alive for this.

  6. lmao, dude really does himself no favors speaking to the media. At least he doesn’t have shambles in his brain.

  7.  It’s never a good look when he does his pouty, excuse-filled, zero accountability interviews where he tries to come across as calm but is clearly anything but. His interview after the playoffs last year was exactly the same tone far cry from a MacKinnon “I’ve been in the year for 6 years and haven’t won shit” that’s for sure lol. It’s just a frustrating attitude that perpetuates people’s negative feelings around this team. People here will say it’s totally fine and I’m completely misreading it even though he couldn’t be more of an open book. 

  8. Is this tattoed under his eyelids? He says the same milque toast response every single fucking year.

  9. He’s a delusional optimist to a fault so I can’t fault him too much for that delusional statement. I’m sure he knows they’ve been shit.

  10. like, they never/rarely say “this is f’n unacceptable”. they don’t hold each other accountable.

  11. Why would these stars worry?

    They are getting paid the max and all have NMC. They got what they really wanted $$$$

  12. Shouldn’t they be frustrated? I feel like I’d be frustrated after blowing leads four games in a row. It’s not what everybody else is saying (which always seems to be a theme with Mitch), it’s what’s actually happening on the ice.

  13. A star player is not even slightly frustrated about losing 4 in a row in the EXACT SAME WAY. Fans deserve better!

  14. This is the mindset Keefe cultivated with this team and has nurtured from the very beginning. Cut off the head and give these guys someone like Berube to get through to them because it’s not just that they don’t get it. Keefe developed them this way.

  15. They got those leads somehow, right?

    That sounds good until you realize they also lost those leads and haven’t been able to pinpoint why that’s been the case. That should be the focus

  16. My god he doesn’t know when to shut up. Don’t players get media trained nowadays? Maybe what everyone else is saying is actually true, but instead he gets pouty and legit just lies to the reporters faces at the end. Awesome hockey isn’t blowing leads in 4 straight. I’d rather he say yeah we fucking have sucked and I’m pissed off about it. Seriously they should never let this guy talk lol.

  17. Remember how pissed of Mackinnon was a few years ago? Saying how they hadn’t won jack shit? I wish our guys acted like that.

  18. This guy totally misquoted Marner. God, but I hate gotcha journalists churning out rage bait. Get a real job!

  19. Maybe now this is just a thought, we shouldn’t have had San Jose’s core that never won anything nurture this group in their early seasons. Big Never won anything Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau made a lot of money but they never really got there

  20. Can we just fucking run these guys out of town already? We already know they aren’t winning shit and im fucking sick of them
