#what are u gonna do when they extend him.. surrely the hate train will have to shift

I love 1634, I love the narrative and the lore, I love that hometown boy is playing for his childhood team, like I Get It. But the Toronto Market™️ does nooooooot (at all) deserve Mitch Marner. This isn’t about his personal strength or capability of handling adversity; he’s proven he can. But this is about seeing vultures trying to tear apart a literal human being who has repeatedly demonstrated he is a good person, a great player, a great teammate, etc. This guy could bleed on center ice for this team and certain people would still jeer and try to tear him apart. It’s beyond crossed into a level of frothing hate and harassment that I don’t know that I’ve seen in the current NHL era and I’ve been watching hockey my whole life.

no seriously... klsjdfksl the internet doesn't help bc it just corrals the worst and least normal of us, but holy fuck man. even normally positive people who keep their mouth shut are out here taking digs at him for no apparent reason like holy shit. i honestly wish mitch and auston were somewhere else bc literally any other fanbase would be not this bad, lol. 2 games of playing like shit when everyone else played like shit too and it's suddenly one mans fault like. calm the fuck down
