A former security guard for Mitch Marner went ballistic on social media after a rant directed towards a fan regarding the treatment of the former Maple Leafs star.
The entire Mitch Marner saga is something that the Toronto Maple Leafs are hoping doesn't exist too much longer in the memory of fans, as the team tries to distance themselves after reports apparently showed that Marner was treated very poorly towards the end of his tenure.

Charity events. You wanna talk about charity events? Let me tell you lady, I got stage 5 kidney disease and he's known about it since day one. I need a transplant and he would give me his if I asked for it but he won't because he has a family now.
His wife, his family, and all his friends are constantly checking in to make sure I'm ok. That's the type of person he is. Not some so called villain that one day didn't sign a f----ing autograph for you so you make him out to be a piece of s---.
I know what type of heart this kid has so don't come on here a ting [sic] like some f-----in know it all about Mitch Marner or his family.
Tired of ppl always putting this kid down. He's always been there for me and he will continue to be my friend till the day I die. So shove your little I don't like him up your ass.
Toronto Hockey Fans Stunned by Ex-Guard's Defense of Marner
Well, first and foremost; breathe in, breathe out. In with the good, out with the bad. Align your chakras. Whatever it is you need to do to calm down, please do it.
To go off on fans for not liking Marner due to a personal attachment to the players is understandable, but it could have been handled in a much less public setting with the former guard preferring to air his dirty laundry in the comment section.
Look, we can't verify or validate if this person's story is even legitimate frankly, though taking it at face value, we aren't thinking Marner kicks puppies or is the Devil; but when his attitude and actions show that he maybe didn't have the best interest of the fans in mind: Then you can see why fans are mad.
Social media seemed to take the side opposite to Marner's former guard, and seemingly believe he went off the deep end.
Suffice to say, the Marner saga isn't going to end anytime soon, and it is going to make Marner's first appearance back in Toronto something more akin to a soap opera than your typical hockey game.
