Mitch Marner Faces Backlash from Fans on Vegas Golden Knights' Social Media Post

That was announced on social media in the past 24 hours, with the Golden Knights official account announcing the thrilling news for the team, and while there were plenty of fans excited to get a 100-point scorer on their team, there were also plenty of upset Maple Leafs fans airing their frustrations.

Throughout the post, there were many examples of comments left by fans that were simply unnecessary, as they're airing out their hurt feelings at a player that gave them everything he had throughout his tenure.

Some also mocked the team for having to give up an asset to get him, but with Marner now locked in on an eight-year extension, it's safe to say that both he and the organization are thrilled with how things played out.

Sure, the post-season criticism's are valid ones, with Marner often disappearing in the biggest games for Toronto, but now that he's away from the immense pressure that being a Maple Leaf brings, perhaps that's all going to change.

Ultimately, there was always going to be hate for Marner from Maple Leafs fans no matter where he ended up, but landing in Vegas has brought out more hate than initially expected, but now that he's away from the 24/7 spotlight of Toronto, it's safe to say that Marner will be thrilled about his new situation.
