Some disheartened fans directed their disappointment at Mayfield on X, blaming him for his penalty in a harsh way.

Mayfield chose to deactivate his account after the comments.

Below are examples of what was said on X that may have influenced Mayfield's decision to withdraw from social media platforms:

Hockey fans are passionate and they often take things too far, unfortunately.

This is completely inexcusable and we hope that Mayfield can overlook the negative feedback and concentrate on bouncing back in their next game, tomorrow against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
