Eichel Says Marner Got a Raw Deal in Toronto

Jack Eichel is not usually in the business of handing out sympathy cards, but he is making an exception for Mitch Marner. The message lands because it taps into a familiar Maple Leafs theme: when the pressure gets loud, the spotlight gets hotter, and the patience disappears fast. This is the kind of comment that makes Toronto fans bristle and makes everyone else lean in, because it frames Marner's run in a way that still stings long after the exit interviews.
