Kadri Remains in the Doghouse

The negative energy continues in Toronto

              On Saturday night, the Toronto Maple Leafs were dismantled 6-1 by the playoff-bound St. Louis Blues. On Sunday morning, the negativity continued when Nazem Kadri was sent home by interim coach Pete Horachek after showing up late to the team practice facility. Coach Horachek suggested that Kadri's lack of punctuality was due to an absence of preparation, dismissing any notion of incliment weather. While Horachek didn't specifically verbalise it, it would seem that Kadri fell victim to the Daylight Saving Time hangover. Kadri, who sits fourth on the Leafs scoring list with 36 points, is likely to be a healthy scratch for the Monday night clash with the Islanders. Brandon Kozun will be re-inserted as his replacement. Zach Sill will move from wing to centre.
