So pretty much what we already knew.

- Start date
That’s interesting and thanks for sharing but man… Kadri, or I guess Dan Robson, is not a good writer.

Ghostwritten from interviews is my guess.

Meanness is a bit implied in the term, but there are varieties of assholery that work. Bennett is an initiator, while ours are more reactive (outside of Domi).
My favourite ones are like Leo Komarov and Joel Eriksson-Ek; they just plant themselves in your kitchen, drink your favourite beverages in your face, eat the slice of cake you were saving, and leave all the dishes (if they bothered to use any) on the table. You can say whatever you want to them, but they just stare blankly past your head and hear nothing.
Yes, we need those guys........... in Toronto the Good we call them "Assholes" and they get run out of town. And we lose.
..... in other markets, we call guys like Tkachuk and Cousins and Kreider and Kadri "Leaders". And they win.
I believe the Leafs issue for 57 years is Toronto Culture. Too nice.
Fans are too nice (fans in other markets would never accept amost 6 decades of losing if it was the mecca of the sport). So the product on the ice reflects what the fans are willing to accept.
