Top 3 Most Disappointing Toronto Maple Leafs During the Playoffs

#2. Mitch Marner

Even though he was tied for the team-lead in assists, Marner was pretty non-existent in five games against Columbus.

Marner is never expected to score as many goals and Nylander, Tavares and Matthews but just one would have been nice.

Finishing with four assists and zero goals in five games is not good enough for someone who makes close to $11 million per season.

Of those four assists, only one of them was a primary assist as well.

Marner needs to generate offense and be a force in the offensive zone, but instead he was pulling off plays like the one you can see in the tweet above.

If you watched every game, something felt off with Marner.

He wasn’t the same crafty player that we saw throughout the season and he just wasn’t able to do some of the great things he’s done against Columbus’ tight defense.

It’s not like the Leafs need to trade Marner or anything like that after five bad playoff games, but it’s need to be something that’s addressed to the player.

The Leafs can’t afford to have their most creative winger stopped like the way he was against Columbus because if that continues to happen, the team will never advance anywhere.
