Marner Keeps Eyes on Cup Run, Not the Dark Stuff

Mitch Marner is staying locked in on the Stanley Cup chase, and he is not giving much away when it comes to the darker moments hanging around the edges of his story. That kind of deflection usually means there is more under the surface than a player wants to unpack in public. In a league where every word gets audited like a cap sheet, Marner is choosing the safest play: keep the focus on the ice and leave the rest for another day.
