In a media conference held on Monday the Panthers' head coach, Paul Maurice, came to the defense of Mitch Marner after their series loss to the Bruins.

Paul Maurice addressed the heat that Mitch Marner has been under after a tough goal Toronto gave up in game 7 of the first round against Boston. Here is a video of the series clinching goal scored by David Pastrnak from X user, manofbird,

You can see from the tweet posted above and from many other tweets and replies online fans have not taken a liking to forward, Mitch Marner, who seemingly left Pastrnak on his own to make the breakaway play and inevitably score. This was pushed to the side by Paul Maurice when he stated this in front of the media,

"Marner took an awful lot of heat, but they run a different neutral zone than what Boston does. So the expectation of who's got who's guy, you want to be careful with that one because you really need to know what the teams runs before you call a guy out."

What Paul Maurice said was then supported on X by many including the likes of Andrew Brewer who had this to say about the situation,

"Paul Maurice is spot on in this quote!

The Leafs run a 1-2-2, and as he alludes to, it was the change by Bertuzzi that led to the chaos in the Neutral Zone. Although it's a bad look, in Toronto's system that's not Mitch's guy!"
