The Toronto Maple Leafs have had some great rivalries throughout the years. There's the Montreal Canadiens, Boston Bruins and, of course, columnist Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun. Over the last few years, Simmons has managed to piss off several members of the team, as well as GM Kyle Dubas. Sunday night, it was head coach Sheldon Keefe's turn.

Following a brutal 7-3 loss in game four of their opening round series against the Tampa Bay Lightning, Simmons asked Keefe a question that he didn't seem too happy with.

"Sheldon, why would you start your worst defenceman in a building knowing it was going to be this loud and this crazy?" said Simmons.

"Who's our worst defenceman?" replied Keefe.

"Justin Holl," said Simmons.

Keefe would simply shrug his shoulders and say "That's your opinion I guess" before moving on to the next question.

The question was meant to elicit a bigger reponse from Keefe, but he wasn't falling for it. Meanwhile, while most Toronto fans are usually not on Simmons' side, there seem to be plenty who agree with his assessment of Holl.

Holl has played in two of the four games of the first round series against the Bolts so far. He has no points, one shot and is a plus-2. The series is tied at two games apiece.
