The “Toronto” curse has been broken: Marner leads the Vegas to the finals.
Mitch Marner has proven that it wasn’t his skill level that played a role, but rather the environment he was in. After spending nine seasons with the Maple Leafs, this Canadian point guard consistently managed to reach the second round of the playoffs, but never managed to progress further.
However, a change of team completely changed his career. In his debut season with the Vegas Golden Knights, Marner reached the Stanley Cup finals. Moreover, he not only participated in decisive games, but he also dominated on the ice. He scored 21 points, making him the top scorer in the NHL playoffs this season. It seems that Marner has finally found a team that can fully utilize his immense potential.
