"The Toronto Maple Leafs played a solid road game in Vegas on Thursday night, but forward Mitch Marner got the last laugh, as the Golden Knights won 6-5 in overtime. This was the most anticipated game of the season thus far and it lived up to expectations. Marner registered two assists, while Auston Matthews scored a goal. However, the most interesting nugget of the game was during warm-up's when Marner shot a puck at Matthews."
"Despite getting the last laugh with a victory at home, Marner is set to recieve a terrible welcome next Friday in Toronto, if it's anything like what we heard in Vegas. The Golden Knights game was filled with Leafs fans and everytime Marner touched the puck, they booed. If Marner recieved boos in Vegas, I don't see a world where anyone is cheering in Toronto."
The Golden Knights beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-5 in overtime in a highly anticipated road game. Mitch Marner registered two assists and Auston Matthews scored a goal. During warm-ups Marner shot a puck at Matthews, leading to visible annoyance from Matthews. Leafs fans in Vegas loudly booed Marner whenever he touched the puck; an even tougher reception in Toronto is likely. Marner was drafted No. 4 overall in 2015 and produced multiple 90-point seasons and All-Star appearances. Playoff production has lagged: 13 goals in 70 playoff games (0.18 GPG), and four of nine postseasons with one or fewer goals. Fan sentiment in Toronto has shifted between admiration for regular-season achievements and frustration over postseason shortcomings.
