Tomorrow night will be by far the most important game of the year for the Toronto Maple Leafs, who need a win tonight to avoid getting swept by the Florida Panthers. Everyone on the Leafs bench will have to give it their all if they hope to live to see another day, and situations like these tend to cause stress among the players. After all, these guys are more than just athletes, they're human who feel regular emotions. They're prone to feel overwhelmed and upset, and Mitch Marner showed us that today.

During his media availability today, Mitch Marner was clearly stressed out. With the stress of a potentially playoff elimination looming over the heads of everyone in the Leafs locker room, it's only natural that some of them let their emotions show. Marner just happened to be the first, and a group of reporters were on the receiving end of it.
"We don't care what you guys say, we don't listen to you guys outside of this locker room. We're just focused on ourselves."
Even the usually happy Marner, is feeling the full effects of the NHL playoffs. A win tonight could change all of that for Marner and his Leafs, who've shown they can battle through adversity, and capitalize on momentum. Let's see tonight how the Leafs respond to their current situation.
