Do you really think the Toronto or Canadian sports media or the majority of Maple Leafs fans would have just shrugged their shoulders and said "oh well" ?

And no, Henoc or nobody else on the defence was responsible for the offence turning the ball over to lead to a bunch of Montreal points; but veteran, smart, play-making D players can sometimes make big plays to turn the tide in a big game, or else maybe provide some fiery leadership spark to rally the troops. Argos won the previous GC with Henoc in the line-up and playing very well; they got spanked in the play-offs one season later without him = this we know.
I'm going to agree with you here. There is nothing wrong with wanting an explanation for a legendary Argos player sitting out for a whole season with no explanation. If a similar situation happened with the Leafs, the media coverage would be endless and it never would get this far. They would be stalking Henoc with helicopters.
