A lot of concern coming out of the #blackhawks dressing room about the quality of the ice at ACC. Especially bad with arena worker's strike.

Didn't they do things to help make it a bit better the last couple seasons like lowering the temp in the rink and such? (In reply to the "especially bad" part).
 
Hawks first in a very competitive tough western conference. Saddens me to say this but Leafs have no chance.
 
Throw some sand around inside their dressing room, visit their stick rack with a exacto knife, slip some magnolax in their drinking water, get Kane back on the booze, send a pizza delivery before the game and between intermissions!

@DavidAlter590: Interesting move for Leafs as they call up Troy Bodie and send down Carter Ashton.  Bodie should draw in tonight.

Bodie for Clarkson? We might not even notice a difference.

Heck, we might even notice an improvement!

Though, really, it probably means McClement gets time on the 3rd and 4th line.

Maybe, although that would leave the 4th line without a centre (not that they play). Carlyle did play Bodie on the 3rd line at the beginning of the season when Clarkson was out so he could play that role again.
 
Didn't notice until someone mentioned it on Twitter - Leafs are down to only 2 Europeans.  Kulemin and Gunnarsson, and who knows how long Kulemin will be around.

Don't really understand that one.  I've thought Ashton has been quite effective in the limited minutes he has played.  Maybe stubborn Randy needs his second fighter in the lineup again.  Ashton is a better skater which makes him a more effective forechecker also.

That's a bit of a league-wide trend, though. The number of non-North American has been decreasing over the past 10 years or so.

Yeah it was just surprising and not something I had thought about, so it seemed quite low.
