Blackhawks vs. Maple Leafs - Nov. 24th, 2:00pm - TSN4, TSN 1050

Keefe pisses me off the most. Nobody is held accountable when they play like crap. Quit coddling everyone it's pathetic to watch.
 
2 pm start after a transatlantic trip, so I'll give them a bit more slack. Line 1 relying a bit too much on trying for finesse when they should embrace pace and pursuit puck
 
This game being tied is unacceptable.  The top line seems to have a lot of do nothing games.  I'm ready to talk about splitting up Matthews and Marner again.  Marner in particular reverts to trying to be fancy and when games get sloppy he tries to force it even more instead of simplifying his game.

Yes. It's primarily this. Flip him with Jarnkrok for a stretch for funsies.

Trip has nothing to do with it. Detroit just beat Boston handsomely so I don't buy that. Some of these guys have been mediocre for a while even before the trip. I don't expect role players to stand out but your stars should and ours other than Willy the last few weeks have been sub par.

Knies isn't doing much either.

I think it explains a lot of his playoff struggles too.  Hockey gets chippy and Marner doesn't adapt.
 
Put this into perspective. There is one team lower than Chicago in the standings. The Sharks who may be one of the worst teams of all time. Chicago has already beat us once this year and we are struggling against them today. To me those should be warning signs for management.

Pretty surprised Domi escaped any penalties
