Complete speculation on my part, but I wonder if he was pissed off (either because of the benching or because he's been struggling) and rather than sit on the bench, just kind of dressed and walked out while the game was still going on
I seem to recall Shayne Corson bailing on the Leafs once when he was scratched, and it caused a big stink when he stayed home rather than attend the game and sit in the press box.
But I could be completely off. Just my guess from what is out there.
