former nhl goaltender devan dubnyk on how toronto maple leafs fans' treatment of mitch was valid reasoning for him to leave
"mitch marner is a human being ... when you now have a family and you have an option to go play for a really good other team with a lot better weather and people who aren't threatening your family and needing police presence outside of your house, find me somebody who doesn't pack up and go."
"it's not the majority of fans, but when a line's crossed, it's crossed. and you can't live your day to day life knowing every season when it comes playoff time, you got to get police out front of your house."

"listen, obviously, going back to the marner thing, there's a line that's been crossed. and it's unfortunate, just the way things are today, with the internet and available information and all of that. but let's be honest here, this is a human being. mitch marner is a human being. we all are. and I think that 99% of sports fans understand that. maybe not 99%, but we'll give a high number-"
"[laughs] seventy five."
"-of sports fans understand that. and it's okay to be pissed off at them. it's okay to not like them as a player, and you can say something at them on the ice. but when you have a human being who now has a baby, who is starting a family, and is getting threats and needing police at the front of his house, and he- now, it's one thing if this is the only place that he can do his job and he has to get through that because he's making millions of dollars and it's just something he's got to deal with and he's got to have security detail and all of this. when you now have a family and you have an option to go play for a really good other team with a lot better weather and people who aren't threatening your family and needing police presence outside of your house, find me somebody who doesn't pack up and go."
"yeah."
"see ya. and by the way, the taxes are better too. but find me, find me a person who, like, because now it's not just, 'oh, you're soft, you can't deal with the pressure.' no, you have, you've brought a child into the world and you have a young family that you're going to the game and wondering, and you got to have police outside of your house because you don't know [what could happen], and again, it's not the majority of fans, but when a line's crossed, it's crossed. and you can't live your day to day life knowing every season when it comes playoff time, you got to get police out front of your house. find me one person who's not like, 'sorry guys, I love toronto. I love the maple leafs. I wanted to get it done. unfortunately, we couldn't, but this has crossed the line and I'm out of here.'"
