Ex-Leaf Jay Rosehill eviscerates his former team after Game 4 loss

Rosehill: "Why does everyone else around this goddamn team seem to care more about the team than the goddamn players that are on it right now?

I can handle a Game 3 loss, because they f***ing went balls out. They were peppering everything they could. It was passionate, it was energetic... I could give a rip if you take too many penalties because you're just playing with your nuts out as hard as you can. [Saturday] night, was just so uninspiring, so pathetic that I had to watch these guys just look around and bitch. Bitch that it wasn't easy...

What planet are they on? What league are they playing in? Do they even know what the Stanley Cup is?

You can just watch the commercials of people winning the Stanley Cup and bringing them to tears while their shoulder's f***ing separated and their knee's half torn and their f***ing leg's all swollen and they just battle because they love the game and they're passionate, intense, inspiring people. I can't find it on this roster, aside from a couple of guys who aren't good enough to win it by themselves.

It looked like a pre-season game. Like 'I don't want to be here'. Like 'this isn't important to me'. That's what it looked like, from the big dogs, who we've put all of our faith in.

I'm as positive as you can be about this team. I'll give them every benefit of doubt anytime they lead with a little bit of effort, I'll back them to the end of the f***ing world. And they pull up with THAT, in a game that can tie the series up, make this thing go to 7 games, or just sh*t your pants and just basically shut this season down, [which] is what they did."
