Sean Avery criticized Mitch Marner and analyst Paul Bissonnette on a live stream (Image via The Canadian Press) Former NHL agitator Sean Avery is never one to hold back — and this time, his fire was directed squarely at Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner and analyst Paul Bissonnette following the team's brutal playoff elimination. With emotions still raw after a Game 7 loss to the Florida Panthers on home ice, Avery unleashed a scathing critique during a Spittin' Chiclets live stream that left little to interpretation. Sean Avery calls out Marner and Leafs fans for hanging onto false hope Appearing live during Game 5 of the Oilers-Stars series, Avery didn't waste time before going off on the Leafs and those who still believe Marner has a future in Toronto. 'Okay, just quickly. I'll be quick. Biz, what were you smoking? What crypto were you smoking that you thought that the Toronto Maple Leafs had any f***ing hope in hell of beating the Florida Panthers?' — spittinchiclets (@spittinchiclets) The former NHL enforcer then doubled down, calling out fans and anyone entertaining the idea of re-signing Marner: 'And anyone in Toronto that's a Leafs fan that drinks this Kool-Aid, and they do it every year, and they're already getting ready for next year and talking about Mitch the bch. Signing Mitch the bch. What are you, f***ing cucks? What is wrong with you? It's time to move on.' With free agency looming, Mitch Marner's time in Toronto may be over The harsh comments come amid growing speculation that Mitch Marner has played his last game as a Maple Leaf. The 28-year-old winger is set to hit free agency on July 1 after completing a six-year, $65.4 million contract. With another playoff flameout on the books, Toronto's front office is expected to explore major changes to the core. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo According to FanDuel's latest odds, the Chicago Blackhawks and Carolina Hurricanes are front-runners to land Marner, thanks to their ample cap space and growing need for offensive firepower. While the Maple Leafs remain listed in the top three, a return feels increasingly unlikely.
