Brunt: Maple Leafs ‘least likable group’ ever

According to Sportsnet’s Stephen Brunt, apathy is a characteristic this current Maple Leafs team wears on its sleeves every night. Brunt pulled no punches when speaking about the Leafs when he joined Boomer & Rhett on Sportsnet 960.


"Part of what’s gone on here is that they’ve managed to produce a team that is not just bad, but appears to not give a damn," Brunt told Boomer and Rhett. "It’s almost rubbing it in people’s faces - the lack of try, the lack of effort."

"They are the least likable group of professional athletes I think I’ve ever been around," said Brunt. "Just the way they play, outside of the arena, the way they come across – they come across as the opposite of plucky underdogs that are trying really hard even if they’re not quite good enough. This is talented guys who are getting paid enormous amounts of money who stopped trying a long time ago and are kind of laughing at everybody. That’s a bad vibe if you’re a consumer."

Ouch!
