Trevor Moore, who played for the Leafs between 2018 and 2020, shared a story that doesn't put the team in a good light.
"Trevor Moore was on the Empty Netters podcast.
They recalled his big hit on Chara in the playoffs for the Leafs.
Trevor Moore said he went back to the bench, and no one said a word to him.
Keefe has made a point of liking guys like Wayne and Reaves who are vocal on the bench."
This was a huge hit on the NHL's biggest player at that time... His teammates didn't seem to care at all... it's actually sad.
Players like him, with heart, who leave it all on the ice, are what you need to win a Stanley Cup.
