It's possible it just wasn't convenient for him to come or he had other plans? It's not like all the Leafs just stay in Toronto over the off-season. Phaneuf did come and that's cool, but I don't think it merits being sad or needing to ask questions about anyone else's absence.

AYRT
PK flew in from Nashville! Things like this is what my RPF fandom is made of. Phil and Bozie were best friends!!! Currently my favorite headcanon is that Lamouriello forbade Leafs players to go, or that the break-up was that bad. Yes there's probably a mundane explanation but not thinking about the ~drama possibilities isn't fun.

ayrt

PK is from Toronto and has family there, he didn't go to a random city just for the sake of spending time with Phil Kessel. Yeah, having stuff like this for RPF fodder is great! (but also not what the convo in this thread seemed to be about?) I'm just saying there's no need to be sad IRL that Bozak wasn't there when there wasn't really an expectation that he would or should be.

A who originally brought up Bozak --

Yes! Although, Lamouriello would never be so gauche as to actually forbid anyone to go. He'd just quietly put the word out that he wouldn't see attending as keeping within team spirit.

Doesn't Bozak have a baby, and is from Alberta? Might just not have been convenient.

Yeah, like, it's not something that demands an explanation. People have lives, and especially with a family and a baby, summer plans are more likely to be made in advance of summer and less likely to change just so you can travel somewhere for one day to go to a party and chug champagne out of the Stanley Cup. A Cup day is cool, but definitely not even on the level of a wedding or something.

Re: Hockey Media

But how sweet would it be to have the Cup AT your wedding??
