After his notable absence following the disappointing Game 7 loss, Marner shared his feelings, expressing that the pain of defeat remains difficult to bear.
In discussing his role as a Maple Leaf, Marner's statement raised eyebrows as he likened himself and his teammates to revered figures, describing the team as being seen almost as gods by fans.
