"Did Mitch Marner just get boo'd on home ice...? pic.twitter.com/fq0zCx0c47- BarDown (@BarDown) January 16, 2026 It's a beautiful sight. It's always nice to see Leafs fans from all over the world gather into an opposing team's arena and cause a little havoc, but to specifically have such a presence at the first game against the player that completely gave up on the team to go and have an easy career somewhere else, is something else."
""They have a passionate fan base and they always travel well. They have a lot of love for their team," Marner said. What a little cop out answer. There is zero fire or ferocity in this response and one of the more unique rivalries in the sport, just instantly being killed and we're reminded that he's just a millionaire that took the easy path to earning more millions."
Leafs fans traveled in force to Las Vegas and booed Mitch Marner throughout the game, with moments that highlighted the crowd's dominance despite the matchup being Marner's home game. The contest ended in a 6-5 overtime loss for Toronto. Marner responded calmly, noting the passionate and well-traveling nature of Leafs supporters. The restrained reply drew criticism as lacking intensity, and many viewed the reaction as evidence that resentment remains over Marner leaving Toronto for a more lucrative opportunity. The heavy Leafs presence amplified the personal and team-level tensions.
