Maple Leafs' Kadri on 4-1 loss to Bruins: '(We have) to start caring a little more'
Toronto Maple Leafs players were apparently feeling a little bit discouraged as a group following a lopsided 4-1 loss to the Boston Bruins on Saturday night:
Phaneuf: "We got beat in every aspect of the game again."

"They just out competed us," added Maple Leafs defender Cody Franson.
The lack of compete was a theme among Maple Leafs players in post-game interviews on Saturday night, with outspoken center Nazem Kadri going furthest in his criticism of the team:
Nazem Kadri says the #leafs "have to start caring a little more." Oh boy.

After the frustrating loss, the club apparently had a closed door meeting to discuss what went wrong. How long can it possibly take to say the word "everything"?
Meanwhile, Maple Leafs fans are growing increasingly impatient. Even saintly Canadian songstress Anne Murray was distraught by their performance on Saturday night.
While no jerseys were thrown onto the ice on Saturday night, Maple Leafs fans still gave the boys in blue and white a harsh send-off in the third period:
Faint "Let's go Raptors" chant at the ACC. Harsh. #Leafs
