Fans are blasting Mitch Marner for poor effort in game 2

Fans are blasting the Toronto Maple Leafs' star Mitch Marner for a lack of effort in game 2 of the series against the Boston Bruins.

While the Maple Leafs ended up winning 3-2 to tie the series, it wasn't because of Mitch Marner.

In two games, Marner scored no points and has a -1 goal differential. This is a major discrepancy from last year's first round, where he led his team with a whopping 11 points in six games against the Lightning.

Marner's lack of effort was spotted by many fans and experts in a particular sequence.


In a race for the puck, he deliberately slowed down and let Bruins' defenseman Charlie McAvoy reach it, possibly to avoid a hit.

Marner will need to do a lot more if he wants to help his team reach the second round.
