And on the 7th game, Mitch rested.
Hahaha
😂😂
lol
😆
lmao
biggest waste of money in NHL history
Basically stole from MLSE in broad daylight
Ah no, MLSE makes record profits. MLSE would spend $200M on players if there wasn't a salary cap.
The Leafs need a thorough rebuild throughout the organisation, not just the team.
Relocation!
This god complex is a big part of the problem. The fans and the media make the Leafs the number 1 sport in Toronto.
American teams don't have that luxury so must compete hard to get attention and as a result don't take anything for granted.
The Leaf organization takes everything for granted.
Well Toronto has a pretty liw IQ, people like watching hockey because they can get drunk, shout and be the idiots they are, if people actually cared abiut the sport no one would give them money
So true. Look at how all boston sports teams won a championship after the Patriots broke the drought.they had to compete. And I know the Raptors won but feel that was the equivalent of an MLM team winning in terms of attention in the city
Please watch the Stars y'all. Cover the Stars lol
Torontos filled with dummies its not surprising
@Zero-ig4vp No way that was like an MLM team winning. 2 million people don't flood the streets in a MLM championship parade.
You have taken the comment a little out of context. He wasn't lying when it comes to the hardcore Leaf fans. Leaf players are seen as gods by them!
Sis mouthing off again
Mitch’s back checking responsibility ended in OT when the rush finished. Leafs should cover their man when back checking all the way to their own net. Why didn’t Mitch already own up to his back checking screw up? No wonder Sammy & Morgan are so stressed - they were thrown under the bus by Mitch. 😀
Unfortunately Marner decided to give up back checking his man - so he watched his man take the pass off the boards & cut in front of the net to score.
Mitch basically has thrown Morgan under the bus.
In a post game interview those who care about Mitch should have encouraged Mitch to just say - “ I gave up on my back checking duties” leading to the Bruins OT goal. From the Core 4 - they never own these playoff disappointments. So more just come.
Their the gods of choking in the first round
If marner played like a God we would win the Stanley cup
I'm surprised the publicity people didn't jump him and drag him away from the cameras
He should never speak publicly ever again.
They will allow Shanahan to resign and the CEO will make his statements towards the future after that. I don't see how they could consider Shanahan returning but also it is the Leafs, it won't be terribly shocking if they do keep him around.
Marner can be a Leafs long term if he wants to, but not for $11 million in cap space.
Not even for half of that.
$50 bucks a season after his contract ends or next bus to Arizona ( I'm well aware there is no team there anymore)
He’s a pretty inept deity lol
Why did no player on the leafs in the past 7 years has ever said the simple phrase"we need to be better"
I'd want to stay too. Can't produce when it counts, not being held accountable, getting overpaid, and getting a contract on your terms. Get an early start on golf season. What reason does he have to want to leave. 😂
Of course the media will take what he says out of context
As long as Shanahan is here nothing will ever change with this idiotic organization
On the 1rst game Mitch said :
Let us turn the other cheek
& lie down with the lambs!
Guess Marner never heard/seen the John Lennon "more popular than Jesus" interview and all the albums that were burned in response.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
This ain't the Bible belt.
Only Michael Jackson can claim himself as more popular than Jesus and god
Mitch Marner is not a very well spoken individual, he creates his own problems and has throughout the season, he probably should just stop talking to the media. Also I think come Friday Keith Pelley will eliminate Brenden Shanahan’s position head of hockey operations,
Marner plays like he is in Junior B! Send him back to the minors until he toughens up!
Safe blanket employed by the maple leafs. This is why he and others feel entitled. While others making less are the real ones holding it down and giving it they all.
Like a God we believe he is there but is invisible.
Nothing is Changing …… media and fans called for changes god knows for how long?
But Fans and media will climb aboard once the season starts.
This TML ORGANIZATION IS AN ABSOLUTE JOKE!😂😂😂😂
Let’s be honest it was a clunky choice of words…but if you watch the clip he clearly wasn’t boasting. He was saying how much he appreciates the admiration… he didn’t play great, and he probably should be moved, but to think it was an ego driven comment or something is silly and Toronto media making mountains out of molehills like always.
Perfectly said thank you
I'm no Marner fan, but there is way too much over reaction to his "gods' comment. Marner merely was saying, I'm fairly certain, how players are held in high esteem in Toronto. Words sometimes don't come out as they should, that happens to all of us, but context always must be applied to speach.
Exactly!
I agree he didn’t mean it that way, but I also think the guy’s not bright enough to figure out that saying that at this point is not what people need to hear.
Whether it was intentional or not you simply don’t say things to the media especially when you are under a microscope. Everything you say and do will be magnified. He is not very bright.
Regardless you should be asking yourself why he felt the need to reiterate that when the vast majority of fans want him gone.
I’m not a fan of his playoff performances but his words are being taken out of context. Nonetheless, it comes off as pretty arrogant especially when he played so poorly against the Bruins. None of these guys ever look in the mirror or admit to their mistakes and not playing well enough. They always say how close they were to winning and love each other blah, blah, blah. A huge culture change in the team is needed and coming.
Win a cup and you will be a demi-god in the city. Until then you are a rich kid that shoots a piece of rubber.
Time for a review of hierarchy 😢Pelley needs to demote Shanahan and see if there is a side exit door in case Shanahan doesn't like the change. Treliving needs to review about a coaching change
Gods can summon their car back from being stolen though. He couldn't.
Proof he’s right is how much fans are talking about it. People live and die on this team’s fortunes.
Mitch fan here,keep your head high That 7 th game could have gone either way
Maybe I’m part of the minority,but did we forget his regular season,his assists and plays made Mathew even better,but we just talk and raise Mathews up,,Sid ,really,suit him up and let’s hit the ice
There’s only a limited number of dance routines in front of a camera when you continuously lose.
That could be problematic each time he touches the puck and fails to score...
I think Reilly, and Samsonov are more to blame for the final goal. Mitch still was obsolete in the playoffs again. It’s time for a change. Reilly can go too!
It was a goal Samsonov should have stopped for sure.
But honestly, its not on him they lost that game.
It was the collective $50 million dollar forwards that couldn't figure out how to score more than 1 goal in a hockey game.
I was calling samsonov trash all season but he did fine in the playoffs, the leafs just had to score more than 1 goal a game
@@koshka02 100% agree. Need to get rid of Marner and Taveres somehow. Not sure that is possible until their contracts are up. I would try and get Utah to take them. They have a ton of draft picks. Just wishful thinking on my part.
don't twist what he said. he said we are treated like gods. straight up.
And like a god he is invisible.
straight up? no, he literally said, "looked upon as gods here to be honest."
read the transcript and listen to the video again. what he meant and what he said might be two different things, but like mitch said, "let's be honest."
poor choice of words at best.
It's time the Leafs' Managment to go all Glenngarry Glen Ross on the Marner. Contract Extensions are for CLOSERS!!
The sea opened up for pasta in.ot...thanks god mitch..lol
How does a God get his ride stolen?
Funny or strange ? How he focuses on the way he’s treated by the fans, this ‘kid’ has NOT GROWN UP as a professional hockey player, what a shame for the true ‘LONG SUFFERING LEAFS FANS’…
That headline is sooooo low and mis leading, Hate that kind if twisted cluck bait...shame on You 🤦♂️
No matter what,Mitch,should of never even brought God,into the conversation,knowing no matter what he meant,the word God,was not gonna play in his favor!Asinine remark!I would say,he and a few others are out the door,but really who wants them,and for how much,if you can’t play balls out in Toronto,a hockey Mecca,well who wants you!
@@tomfilipiak3511 I agree it's never wise to bring the word God up. Mitch did play his very best, understandably the whole city is disappointed we didn't advance but taking it out on a guy who bleeds blue and white is heartless. It's the playoffs, there is zero room for anybody to 'shine' the way people are demanding Mitch do, in all of the first round there were very very few players(McDavid and his line mates being an exception only at times) who broke through at anytime, Everyone is struggling to score and put up points not just Mitch. Give the kid a break already.
Mitch is clueless. just living in this little bubble of failure and aggrandisement.
FRAUD.
Best thing for marner is to leave. Being in toronto is a distraction.
Yo, Sid... When you see samsonof, please tell him that one Russian guy from Stockholm asked you to tell him to GFHS.. and do it all the time until hE signs a contract with the Fiji Island league team
I've been a huge Leafs fan since I was a kid when my pop took me across the border to see a baseball game one springtime and The Leafs were into a deeper playoff run. The passion of Leafs fans and the kindness of Canadians in Toronto bowled me over and once I put on my first sweater, I was Leafs for life. That being said, I don't idolize the players, not a single one. I respect them and I appreciate their skills. But I love the jersey. It doesn't really matter whose number is on the jersey when I buy one, it's a fragment of time and time holds still for no player as they constantly move around the league from team to team. For the sake of parity and fair competition, I will root for whichever team comes through in the all Canadian Western Conference semifinal because I really wish Canadian fans get to celebrate with the Stanley Cup again, like I was fortunate enough to do with a team before. But also because I want to see that stigma that Canadian teams cannot win it anymore broken, to give Toronto confidence going forward. Change is needed to get over the hump, toughness and grit needs to be installed mentally to go with that flashy offensive style. But, Go Leafs! One year it will all come together and it will be that much sweeter.
Take the pressure off him and trade him.... he feels overwhelmed. Perhaps even a couple years with farm club, riding the bus, smaller pay cheques, team dinners of chicken and burgers, keggers with teammates and their families and being called UNCLE Mitch by kids that you have no idea their last name..... Take the preface GOD away
I don’t think he meant to sound conceited but is he wrong? Clark and Gilmour never even made a Stanley Cup Final and neither of those guys will pay for a drink or meal in Toronto for the rest of their lives
So he was a complete no show and the reason for the over time goal but yet he is a godly player lmao , if he comes back I will watch a new team!
Canada doesn't need to win the Stanley Cup in order to prove they are the best hockey nation as that honor goes to the 2026 Olympic champion. Whoever wins the 2026 Olympics in men's hockey is deemed to be the best hockey nation because even though Canada hasn't won the Stanley Cup since 1993, Canada did win the last best on best Olympic ice hockey tournament at the Sochi 2014 Olympics thereby making Canada the best nation in men's hockey.
To be fair ... Canada has not had the Stanley cup because the teams with the most Canadian players usually ends up winning it. USA and Canada are pretty close to each other when it comes to international hockey ... really you can argue a few Scandinavian countries too.
Sid Crosby ends up in Toronto instead of Pits and we likely have cup this era
MacKInnon ends up in Toronto instead of Avs ... pretty much guarantee they don't even make playoffs most years.
McDavid on Toronto (could still happen fingers crossed) and this town will erect gold statues of that guy before he even laces up his skates.
I blame Mitch's upbringing for this quote. His father did not do him any favors by treating him like he's different them the others.
but Mitch didn't;t say "he himself is a god"
Yup, his parents created a "God".
Mitch is different he's a very gifted athlete
@@Owen-kz3wphe’s an entitled brat
You guys do treat them like God's, vancouver's star player hasn't scored a goal since April 10th and still won the series, the problem isn't one player leaf nation
If the Leafs don't care about getting back much to get Marner out of town, then yeah, he'll get traded. Is there a GM that dumb?
You know you screwed up when Sid had a meltdown over you 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Give Mitch the boot.
You have no idea what Mitch means and if he says what he means!
Were you just trying to fill time because this was a total waste of time. That you question if he means he is a god, you clearly have no idea about the man. He is humble and clearly gets embarrassed by the medias, comments and questions, and still he remains respectful to you’all…
Huge honour? What a slap in the face! Boooooooo!!!!!
Some things you just don't say out loud.
Marner isn't comparing the Leafs to gods. He's clumsily trying to speak to how well treated the Leafs are in relation to the rest of the markets.
Trust me nothing will change in Toronto………ever!
This is getting ridiculous. You think Marner is the issue? You may have seen a more aggressive MM in the O zone throughout the series is Morgan Reilly actually played defence. How many times did you see Marner have to bale that bag of picks out. Ask Johnny T if he's willing to move. Move Reilly for a defenceman that plays his position and has a shot that can rip the net from the point. Whats the leafs record without Reilly. 14-2-1 in 17 games. And if you get a defenceman who has a shot you'll see the 22%pp go up
Marner, Rielly and Tavares are complete garbage , TML will NEVER win with them on the team!
Stfu they are great players the just choke in playoffs and I’m aware that sucks ass but it doesn’t mean that they are ‘complete garbage’ in the season they play amazing and that is what gets them it playoffs to start with
The God complex says everything about this organization.
God got carjacked 💀
The maple leafs smoke? No wonder they lost, no cardio.
He's right..people do treat athletes as gods.
Most definitely that's y hollyweird makes so much money
"I'm a God".
- Phil Connors, Groundhog Day
I don't know who is more clueless, Keefe or Marner.
But he isnt a god. Its all in his head. Most non Leaf fans think he sucks.
Doesn't look like it means the world to him, or he would consider playing some defense on the most important play of the season. A god wouldn't let Pasternak blow by him without a glance.
without any effort to try and stop him.
He means idolized. The point is true. Hockey players can't always think of the perfect word. It's fine.
Exactly as lower case g aka gods refer to false idols ....so his point is correct cuz in biblical times there were many false gods that ppl worshipped
I think what he is actually trying to say is that the players are treated well here in Toronto which is 100% true with the endorsements etc. I don't think other players in other hockey team in the NHL get as much endorsements as a Maple Leaf player. Just being honest about it. I don't think he meant it literally. I think he could've used better word though as I know using the word "God" is sensitive to a lot of people.
That's not what he meant at all. His statement has nothing to do with endorsments😂
@@B.Jewels I don't think he meant the word "God" literally which a lot of Leaf fans are taking his words WAY out of proportion. When I heard him say the word., "God" I immediately knew people would take it the wrong way. The media for one I feel like are taking this to a whole new level which to me is kind of ridiculous.. People in general get offended with EVERYTHING these days so he should've treaded carefully or chose to use different wording. Again, I don't believe he meant it literally. We can agree to disagree LOL
@@crafting_after_midnight4154 i 'm disputing with your comment about endorsements that 's not what Mitch was saying, it had nothing to do with endorsements LMAO
godly as in no capitalization. Makes a difference! Bang on Sid!
Marner's NOT the problem. He's the Leaf's "smartest" player in that he has vision and is able to make plays on the ice. What he does need is a small attitude adjustment. Tavares is the real problem ($11M wasted money). Tavares, Shanascam, Keefe, Bertuzzi, Rielly, Brodie, Klingberg, Murray, should NOT be back. That would clear up cap space enough to get the pieces you need (a good goalie, and a tough stay-at-home d-man) to get over the hump
gods lol
Yeah, don't flatter yourself, Mitch, we all don't think of you like that.
the loafs , the laffs he needs 25lbs of muscles and a big set balls
He said "gods" not God.
Exactly as gods refers to idols which ppl had in Bible says cuz they put their idols above Jesus.....the reality is he isn't wrong cuz ppl worship celebrities
It's incumbent on all Toronto media outlets to LOUDLY announce our desire to acquire the services of Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid, by outbidding all offers once they become available. The coach has little to do with it. The Toronto fan base deserve superstar players that actually want to win a Stanley cup, are willing to sacrifice their body/health to accomplish this..unlike the current overpaid "regular season dynamos" that wimp out come playoffs, claiming headaches, or a runny nose..give me a break..the reason Gretzky, Lemieux, Messier, Orr, Howe, LaFleur, Bossy, Crosby are revered as the greatest players of all time is because of PLAYOFF success, not regular season, sadly the current lot of overpaid Leafs will inevitably be forgotten like all the other guys that never one a cup if they don't produce, and succeed in the playoffs.. Bowmanville Dave
John Lennon said as much...
I think he meant to say dog but mixed the word up. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed
Just back check.He has to go.Cry baby.
The Gods Must Be Crazy!
Hockey players ARE treated like Gods in canada. Especially in Montreal. We erect statues of hockey players outside the arenas. How many other occupations recieve that honor? Theres nothing wrong with what Marner said. It was a generic comment about the iconic status hockey players recieve in canada but because hes a leaf, the internet erupts in fake outrage.
salming clarkie dougie gilmore and sundin ...they are GODS ...we need a cup ..................PERIOD
They literally control your emotions and they have not met you, god status is bad wording but it’s not as ludicrous when you watch your fanbase.
Who?
Marners statement is exactly why the Leafs are so hated and why people enjoy it so much when they go down in the first (or any) round. That "we are the end all and be all of the hockey world" and have the best fanbase ( I guess all teams say that) , the richest team, and everything centers around us gets very tiresome when they don't back it up by winning and that is also why they keep getting compared to the NFL Dallas Cowboys - they think their crap doesn't smell and they choke most of the time getting towards the playoffs. When you beat your chest and think that you are"the best" you have to back it up. In fairness I am a Habs fan and this is not said in spite ( although Steve Dangle is a hell of a lot more fun after a loss like that) and I am hearing much of this from Leafs fans.
You know, winning a hockey trophy really isn't THIS important. Good grief! Can the Leafs just win the stupid thing three or four times in a row so normal people don't have to put up with this endless hand-wringing analysis every year?
Don’t you people Believe GOD a Spirit made One man I Am Christ by spirit you people will
We are here in Montreal the MECCA of world hockey laughing at this 😂🤣😂🤣😂😂everybody knows that if you are a hockey player and you have the chance to choose between Montreal and Toronto Montreal would win hands down and by the way we don’t treat them as GODS here 🙄🙄🙄🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️😂🤣😂🤣😂
Shanahan - gets an F+ for doing nothing
"god's" win. At least they challenge. Leafs barely show up. That's when you know it's time to make changes. When the attitude and ego doesn't match the results. Clean house. Listen to the fans that know what could make this team successful, obviously what has been tried hasn't worked.
Keefe is done
The fans need to disappear. Like an ocean liner, change will occur slowly and powerfully. It's taken a long time to get to where we are now.
Marner is a great shinny hockey player. In the playoffs he does nothing!
This is basically hockey's rendition of when John Lennon said, "We are more popular than Jesus!" Like when he said the Beatles are bigger than Jesus, Marner said the Leafs are like Gods.
A $11 million dollar God 😂
😂😂
JC would score in game 7
Poor Mitch can't do anything right now the media is crucfying him for his choice of words I think the leafs were just a bounce away from advancing I think we forget that these guys are trying there best spoken from a bruin fan any team in the league would love to have Mitch
Agree,common sense
Marner would be a terrible pickup for any team at his current cap hit.
I think what he said is getting blown out of proportion. I think what he meant was that the players are perceived as deities. He did not lie. They are just hockey players. We cant expect them to be poets and wordsmiths.
The point he’s making is leaf fans worship these guys. He’s not comparing them to gods. People are definitely taking this the wrong way. He could have phrased it better tho, that is for sure. Lol.
Nothings changing
