The Gavin McKenna benching for half a game has been all the rage around Leafs Nation the past couple of days. Media and fans alike have come out to question head coach Jim Hiller for why the heck the No. 1 overall pick, who was on a four-game point streak, was nailed to the bench for almost two periods to finish the game on Thursday night. But the two have apparently talked and hammered it out, with McKenna saying he was told it wasn't because of his play, and that he learned a lot from ...
