Marner Savors Vegas Win, Takes Fresh Swipe at Toronto

Mitch Marner is enjoying life in Vegas, and he is not exactly burying the emotional baggage he left behind in Toronto. His comments about the Leafs’ “dark times” add another layer to a breakup that already had plenty of fuel on it. Players do not usually hand out this kind of parting shot unless the exit still lives rent-free in their head. The irony is thick enough to skate on, because success in one market always seems to sharpen the old scars in another.
