Maple Leafs alumni blasts Mitch Marner and his teammates

"Why does everyone else around this godd*mn team seem to care more about the team than the godd*mn players that are on it right now? Why was that effort? I can handle last game's loss. I can handle a game three loss because they f*cking went all out. They were peppering everything they could.

It was passionate, it was energetic. I could give a rip if you take too many penalties because you're just playing as hard as you can. Tonight was so uninspiring, so pathetic, that I had to watch these guys just look around and complain, complain that it wasn't easy, complain that it wasn't given to them.

What planet are they on? What league are they playing in? Do they even know what the Stanley Cup is? Do they even f*cking watch hockey? Do you even know hockey? Do you know what it is to watch the commercials of people winning the Stanley Cup and bringing them to tears while their shoulders are separated and their knees half torn and their legs all swollen and they just battle because they love the game and they are passionate, intense, inspiring people.

I can't find it on this roster, aside from a couple of guys who aren't good enough to win it by themselves. Right? It looked like a preseason game. Like, I don't want to be here. Like, this isn't important to me. That's what it looked like from the big dogs, whom we put all our faith in.

I'm as positive as you can be about this team. I'll give them every benefit of the doubt. Anytime they lead with a little bit of effort, I will back them to the end of the f*cking world. And they show up with that in a game that could tie the series up and make this thing go to seven games or sh*t your pants and basically shut the season down, which is what they did."
