Marner blasts Maple Leafs after blowout: 'We need to wake up'

Sunday fun day was ruined for Toronto Maple Leafs fans who had to sit through 60 minutes of disaster at the hands of the Florida Panthers. It was an uncharacteristic blip for the soaring Leafs, who have gone 15-6-2 since Sheldon Keefe took over the reins.

Mitch Marner, known for his youthful jubilance and light-heartedness, was full of frustration post-game when asked to reflect on his teams’ performance.

“We need to wake up here,” he lamented to Sportsnet’s Luke Fox.

Marner cited the teams’ defensive issues and the lack of support for goaltender Frederik Andersen.
