Mitch Marner was recently seen having a wild time on a Sea-Doo last week, shortly after he was also spotted wakeboarding, and fans are not happy.
This offseason has been eventful for Marner, who has been dodging trade rumors, attending weddings, and now enjoying some time on the water with his wife, Stephanie. Fans have expressed their disappointment at seeing him having too much fun.
"Wonder if he rides around the perimeter of the lake too," commented one user, referencing Marner's preference to play on the outside during the playoffs when checking is much tighter.

"Sure looks like a guy working hard for next season," commented another user on Domi's workout montage post.
Leafs fans have been frustrated with the team's lack of playoff success over the past decade, and Marner's performance in the postseason has often been underwhelming. Fans were hoping to see him training hard, especially with the upcoming season being crucial for him. Marner is set to earn $10.9 million next season, and a strong performance could secure him a big contract extension.
With training camp just a month away, players will soon be returning to Toronto to prepare for the season. Marner will need to shift his focus and be ready to help lead the team deep into the playoffs. Last season, he scored 26 goals and tallied 85 points in 69 games with the Leafs.
