One thing that is not going to change about hockey fans is that they pay very outsized attention to the depth players on the team. This seems to be a particular-to-Toronto disease, where even the media will tell you more than you really need to know about whoever never leaves the press box, but it is true of all fans. Of their own team that is. No one has a clue who plays depth on the other 30 NHL teams.
While we’re all enjoying seeing Trevor Moore play a little, we can intellectually accept that the fourth liners on a team have very little impact.
