Of all the hate against leaves' Mitch Marner, this accusation is the weirdest

It appears Mitch Marner isn’t handling the Toronto Maple Leaves first-round playoff exit well.

Despite his tepid level of playoff production, Marner reportedly isn’t interested in being asked hard questions about it. According to The Leaf Report podcast, Marner has hired private security and is refusing to speak with some members of the media.

“Regular season, he’s been a great, great player, and I think we’ve written that. But there’s such a sensitivity there. And, so you hear about all these feuds going on, and you hear about he’s got private security people that harass media people, and there’s just, there’s really weird stuff that’s going on,” reporter James Mirtle of The Athletic said on the podcast on Tuesday, via Maple leaves Daily.

Mirtle added that a number of topics are off limits when interviewing Marner and the pool of reporters who he’ll field questions from has shrunk and no longer includes himself.

“Mitch Marner saying ‘we’re looked upon as kind of Gods here to be honest’ — even if it’s true — is one of the worst Room Readings any fan base has ever seen,” one fan posted on X. “Read the room, guy.”

Mitch Marner’s private security detail, Rocket Security, is back at it duking it out on Instagram with anyone who criticizes his client — this time even calling his leaves teammates into question, too.
