Horachek, Kessel apparently disagree on Leafs' effort level | ProHockeyTalk

The Toronto Maple Leafs played another stinker last night, dropping a 4-1 decision at home to San Jose in a game that goalie Jonathan Bernier likened to a “a junior team playing against an NHL team.”

This morning, coach Peter Horachek had a little chat with his players during practice:

Peter Horachek addressing #leafs players on practice ice and saying they have to show pride. Says they've had a "lack of effort" and "care."

Which is a pretty harsh indictment.

And perhaps not surprisingly, it was one with which star winger Phil Kessel disagreed:

Phil Kessel: "We're giving full effort…no ones not trying. If you're saying that you're lost."

Kessel on Horachek blasting team leaders for lack of work ethic in games: "That's his opinion"

So anyway, the Leafs are a train wreck.

Gonna be an interesting offseason.
