Maple Leafs defenseman Chris Tanev sounds pretty pissed about load management plan
It has not been the best start to the season for the Toronto Maple Leafs, as they sit in seventh place in the Atlantic Division. Their prize pick-up in free agency, Sergei Bobrovsky, has struggled, as the Leafs have dropped five of their last six games.
Two of those losses came at home over the weekend. They were defeated by the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday, 4-2, and then by the New Jersey Devils on Sunday, 4-0. In the game on Sunday, veteran defenseman Chris Tanev was a scratch, a decision Leafs coach Jim Hiller said was part of a plan for load management, according to Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun.
