That`s the only thing MLSE does well....blame anyone and everyone but the actual guilty parties....themselves. Phaneuf wasn`t the 1st pairing guy....except Toronto said he was.....Kessel was nothing but a scorer but he was to blame for his defensive liabilities, except Toronto said he was the saviour. Truth is the entire team was overrated by the press and MLSE sold the fans thru the press that the Leafs were a viable team.
It`s nice to see Phaneuf and Kessel doing well with their respective teams now.....now that they aren`t being made into something they`re not by a media machine looking for someone to blame. Good for them......
