“Say it to my face!” — Shouting match rattles Maple Leafs facility, insiders say
Tensions are boiling over in Toronto as reports emerge of a fiery locker room altercation between Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner following a frustrating team scrimmage this week.
Multiple insiders confirmed that voices were raised, equipment was slammed, and Matthews reportedly shouted: “You’re not the leader you think you are!” — directed straight at Marner, after a missed defensive assignment. The scene left shocked teammates frozen in silence.
💬 “This was more than just heat-of-the-moment. There’s been tension all season,” one source said.
Coach Craig Berube is reportedly trying to cool things down, but fans are deeply divided — with #TeamMatthews and #TeamMarner already trending online.
