After another disappointing Toronto Maple Leafs playoff loss, it's time to break up the core four forwards and that might mean moving on from Mitch Marner, who becomes a free agent at the end of the 2024-25 season. I will never understand when fans where a team 'sucks' shirt or brings a sign with the same message at a sporting event. But doing it when the team isn't participating is a new level of obsession. During Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers, some people were quick to spot a fan wearing a 'Leafs Suck' shirt directly behind one of the nets. The Maple Leafs could conceivably be a rival of either of the two teams in the Stanley Cup Final so maybe you can justify it a little but it's still quite hilarious.

The Leafs shirt is one thing, but it's not even the worst shirt jersey fouls we have seen during the Final. During both of the first two games, there have been fans wearing split Oilers/Panthers jerseys that just look terrible and should be illegal. Stop the madness! The Panthers lead the best-of-seven series 2-0 with the series shifting back to Edmonton for Game 3 on Thursday. We'll see if any Leafs Suck shirts show up there.
