Former Toronto Maple Leafs forward Wayne Simmonds expressed his dissatisfaction with his hometown team during an interview with Joshua Clipperton of the Canadian Press. While Simmonds initially tried to be positive, his bitterness about his tenure with the Leafs became apparent.
However, when the conversation shifted to current Leafs enforcer Ryan Reaves, Simmonds' discontent became more evident. He suggested that Reaves faced challenges at the beginning of the season and didn't get enough opportunities to showcase his skills, drawing parallels to his own experience with the team.
Simmonds hinted at the difficulties athletes face as they age, acknowledging the inevitable decline in performance over time. Despite his frustrations, he maintained gratitude for the opportunity to wear the iconic Maple Leafs jersey.
