Is Sharp still working in the media? I'm curious if he has said anything.
Toews, Keith, and Sharp were the guys with the letters that year (and Seabrook was added the following year). These were the leaders of the team. Forget how young they were (Toews is the only one who was under 25), they accepted that responsibility, so they need to accept the backlash too.
Even if you accept the premise that management kept the details from the players to avoid any distractions, there's still no excuse for all the stuff Beach and the other player had to go through in the subsequent years.
