Simon Benoit Reveals His True Feelings About The Maple Leafs After Being Benched
Teams thrive on winning cultures, but that doesn't guarantee constant happiness among players.
Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Simon Benoit recently spoke out after being healthy scratched multiple times. Expressing his frustration, he said,
"If you're happy to be sitting out, I don't think you're in the right sport. I'm not happy, but I understand it's part of the game and I will do my best to get back in there."
Benoit's sentiments resonate with many Leafs fans who believe he deserves a spot in the lineup. Criticism has been directed at coach Sheldon Keefe for his lineup decisions. One fan lamented,
"They're really sitting Simon Benoit — our best defenseman, in his hometown because we didn't trade for a RHD. Can't make this shit up."
Despite the controversy, Benoit has proven himself as one of the league's top defensive defensemen this year. Questions arise as to why he's not a regular on the roster, especially when comparing him to other players' performances.
