He had a clear path to the puck and could have protected it while taking a body check. Instead, he bails out and let McAvoy take the puck and exit the zone. This is 20 seconds into the 2nd period, in a game where they are tailing by 1 goal, in the playoffs.
And this is why the Toronto Maple Leafs are having a hard time beating the Boston Bruins or any opponents in the Playoffs.

yep playing scared. He needs to go 100%. Not worth anything over 2 or 3 mill.
That's why they won't make it to the finals or past the first round. Lol They have no grit.
it's a mans game in the playoffs…..Marner is 10 ply….no time for figure skating
This was Marner even last year agianst the Florida series. He is afraid to take a hit like dude its thw playoffs.
it was evident from game 1 that Boston was winning puck battles, exemplified in the gwg of game 3, and that they would win the series.
I'm sorry but Jarnkrok, Holmberg, Robertson a stanley cup winning thrid line does not make.
Ya he’s literally too scared to take a check. Kind of sad for one of your star players.
He doesn't wanna go in the corner & get hit.
I understand that he needs to protect himself, but you can still make a play on that puck while also protecting yourself. Sure, he will take a hit, but that's part of the game.
Talk about an overpaid wuss…..he might as well have just jumped into the crowd and been an official spectator.
He should be in the press box for the rest of the series.
They were doing just find in game 3, up until the referees interceded.
Was he trying to chop down McAvoy with his stick? wtf was that?
He’s the next Darrell Sitler Not
Definitely not a good look
The Leafs play like the Pinko Kommie town the play.
careful mitch. don't want to make any contact there.
Mathews, Nylander are no different. Nylander is too afraid to even dress vs Boston in playoffs. Trana ia a Barbie team.
As a Leaf fan every time you say we need to trade Marner the Leaf fans cry but if this is what you want then I need to find a new team to be afan of!
After this early golf season if Shanahan and Keefe are not fired and 1 of the core 4 gone I will no longer waste my time being a apart of insanity!
Whooop…whooop. Right on by
This play may be the dagger that ends Mitch's time in TO. This is not A Leaf thing…this is a Mitch thing. The rest of the team is out there battling.
BAAHHAAAA 😂😂😂😂BAAHHAAAA 😂😂😂😂😂BAAHHAAAA 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and you think this kid wants to win a cup AAAHHHHH HAHAHAHA 😂😂😂😂
time to hit the weight room. dude
This is a coaching problem. Marner should have been benched the rest of the game. Sheldon doesn’t run the team….they run him.
Guy better be careful. Avoiding corners, that's Nylander's job. No wonder they were fighting on the bench.
"Stop crying, bro. I'm the team cream puff, not you, alright?"
This is worse than Kessel, and that’s saying something.
This is why Don Cherry is soo important, He’d call that out every weekend.
He doesn’t even know where the puck is.
Same old song and dance with the leafs, and you can throw Winnipeg in that as well. good regular season.. choke playoffs ..like a broken record
You can blame Marner if you want. A .883 save percentage in goal is not his fault. Poor team offence, poor team defence, poor coaching, poor drafting, poor trades, poor free agent management. Hockey is a team game. Teams win and teams lose. Not individuals. Stop trying to target one guy and accept that this team is just not good enough. Top to bottom.
Heck if I had the money, Mitch had? I’d stay out of corners as well! He ain’t stupid!
Mitch be laughing all the way to the bank
Can't blame one player whole team disappears come playoff time
And what would happen when he hits the guy who is 40 pounds bigger?
I always love when Leaf fans say that they need to move Mitch. For what he is being paid and how soft he plays, WHO the hell wants him!!!
So, when is Ballet On Ice Starring Mitch Marner returning to Toronto?
If I had to Trade one Star player from the Leafs to get some decent Shot from the blue line defence man it would be Marner. I knew this before ever seeing this video.
Need guys with heartl and soul
I must have been asleep!!
I didn't see Auston Matthews taking or dishing out a hit either!!!
"Bitch mode…engage!!" 😂
God this kid is such a 🐈
he plays way too small to be affective in the playoffs. And he's vastly over paid
Marner is an amazing talent, and could help any team get in the playoffs. But he’s a soft and will never be effective in the playoffs. I don’t blame Marner for the Leafs inability to have success in the post season, I blame Shanny. You can replace the GM and coach as many times as you want,,,at the end of the day Shanny makes the decisions, not the GM,,,,much like Robitaille makes the decisions in LA not Blake for the Kings. Their arrogance gets in the way of sensible decisions
