“I’m glad we played the game,” said Stephen Hart who was less than happy with the game overall. “The first half, we did OK for about the opening 30 minutes of the game and then it was a matter of keeping proper possession of the ball and basically giving them the chances that they had.”

It's his decision. So, Hart's Toronto call should be judged just as fans judge a correct or incorrect roster selection or tactical decision.
