And I think that's what it is.

people just need to see it for that, you know, and maybe this was that breakthrough for Marner.

Why was he able to break through in Vegas and not in Toronto?

There's probably a myriad of reasons, the supporting cast, the environment, maybe the coach, maybe just his own maturity, just everything.

There's just a number of factors that have probably played into the success he's had this year.

How it's played out in Toronto is it's a mixed bag.

There's, there's a lot of people are incredibly genuinely happy for Mitch Marner.

Mitch,

One thing you can say about Mitch Warner, he always gave his all in Toronto.

It's not like he wasn't trying.

It was frustrating that the results weren't there, but he always wanted to win.

He always tried to win.

And maybe he just didn't know how to win with that group and in that environment.

And he should take some of the blame for that, deservedly so.

And now he's found his way, and there's people who are genuinely happy, like, hey, he's a good kid, and he's worked his butt off, and he's wanted this dream, and here he is living his dream.

And then, of course, there's going to be the resentful, angry group.

I mean, that's human nature.

And here for Leaf fans, you've got to understand, it's become a yearly ritual.

You know, Nazem Kadri, Stanley Cup, Phil Kessel, Stanley Cup, I can go on and on.

And think about what this final could be.
