It doesn’t really matter if they boo. I mean, we know we’re a good team, so, yeah. I think all good teams need to go through some stretch where everything’s not clicking and everything like that. So, yeah, I mean, good teams find their way out of this. And, I mean, it’s only been three games, so what’s the big deal, really?

In a media greet on Wednesday, the 27-year-old winger claimed that he just tries to “ignore” them and focus on the next day.

Just try to ignore it. You know, we’re just trying to do our job out there and go out and put together a full 60 and, you know, we got a good practice today, good video session.

Mitch Marner told the reporters

In the final year of his six-year contract extension, Mitch Marner is having a good time on the ice field. The Canadian international has picked up 60 points (14 goals and 46 assists) in just 45 games. At this rate, he is expected to break his previous best record of 99 points.
