Or, more specifically, the coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs has made a terrible decision. Without deference to logic, stats, eye-sight or really any quantifiable thing known to man in the existing universe, the Leafs are going to play Roman Polak.
Based on today’s morning skate, it would appear as though Roman Polak will replace Connor Carrick against Anaheim tonight. Leafs would need to create a roster spot to bring him off IR.
Roman Polak is terrible. He is slow. He is one of the worst players in the NHL for allowing shots-against. The very thing that is the Leafs Achilles Heel.
