Some good quotes:
It's interesting that this article was posted two days ago and prior to Shanahan benching Kadri for an additional two games. I think this article addresses some of the incentive behind the decision.
But more importantly, it addresses the players in general, and how this mess isn't going to get any better by "bottoming out".
The Leafs have already hit rock-bottom this season, now it's just dealing with the aftermath. Players need to step up, even if it's just on an individual basis. Same situation as with Chris Stewart in Buffalo. If you want to be traded, show other teams that there's something there to go after.
Some good quotes:
[Toronto] had a 16-game road losing streak broken when Florida couldn’t dress a 41-year-old goalie mid-game. Every game, you think it can’t get worse, and, every game, it somehow does.
...it’s never been this toxic, never seemed so ugly. A lot of it is the social media age, and it would be insane to see the Ballard Era re-lived with Twitter.
That’s where the Toronto Maple Leafs’ players are. Yeah, they’re not the only ones to blame. But it’s hard to look at them and say they’re doing enough to change it. If they want out of this situation, they’ve got to do much better job of convincing other teams they’re worth the investment.
