Mitch Marner Lit Up on Social Media After Mikko Rantanen's Stunning Game 7 Performance

Mitch Marner is someone who has caught a lot of flack due to his performance in the NHL Playoffs over the last decade and rightfully so.

Against the Ottawa Senators, the superstar forward went ghost in Games 5 and 6 which is when the team needed him the most.

The opposite can be said for Marner's biggest comparable,
Mikko Rantanen, who scored a hat trick in Game 7 against the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night.

Of course, this is significant for Maple Leafs fans because Toronto was on the verge of trading for Rantanen. However, Mitch Marner was going to be part of the deal and he refused to waive his no trade clause.

Well, Maple Leafs fans were watching the Dallas Stars game on Saturday night and they were not impressed.

Below, you can see numerous fans accosting Marner for not waiving his no-trade clause. Meanwhile, others simply noted that the Leafs cannot pay Marner more than Rantanen, which is valid.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are taking on the Florida Panthers in the second round and Mitch Marner has an opportunity to prove some people wrong.

However, if he has a bad series, then fans are going to be wishing for him to walk away during free agency.

Ultimately, this is going to be a very series although it is one that could last a very short amount of time. This is because the Panthers are just that good.

Hopefully, the Maple Leafs can weather the storm and Marner can shorten the gap between himself and Mikko Rantanen.
