Mitch Marner’s Unexpected Journey After Maple Leafs: What’s Really Behind the Silence?
Marner executes the same joyful warmup routine from his near-decade run with the Leafs, only it’s Tomas Hertl he trades passes with before the final horn blows instead of Auston Matthews.
Before he skates off, Marner flips a puck to the fan from back home.
Marner doesn’t record a point that night against the Devils. A give-and-go with Mark Stone doesn’t quite make it across the goal line and Marner, the last Vegas shooter in the shootout, can’t quite beat Jake Allen.
The Golden Knights lose 2-1.
“The colors are significantly different,” said Keefe afterward of facing Marner the Golden Knight.
