lot more difficult to get to the inside in the playoffs. i haven't studied all his playoff work but i sat lower bowl in TD Garden for g2 last year on the side TOR shot twice and tried to keep an eye on him. i thought he was weak. mostly perimeter/floating and rarely engaging in the board work that's necessary to win PO series. got a ton of credit for that easy GWG but his overall game was not impressive at all.
i'm not sure he can recover from that comment (in the room at least). leaders do not blame others.
I'm not sure what he meant exactly, but I think he may have been saying that too many players on the team were passive/tentative and failed to step up and make a positive contribution (which is what happened) as opposed to trying to deflect criticism or insinuating that he played well and others on the team didn't.
Regardless, he doesn't seem like a great leader. He should know how a statement like that might come off and that it's the type of thing the Toronto media might have a field day with.
