Leafs @ Blackhawks - Dec. 21st, 7:00pm - CityTV, Fan 590

The Leafs were playing ok the first few minutes and then they just started dumping the puck out of their zone and handing it to Chicago.  Carlyle hockey at it's best.

The effort from Bozak at the end of the 1st was painful.  He does that all the time.

What's extra frustrating about that is that, in the summer, Carlyle acknowledged that successful teams focus on controlled entries and that the Leafs need to do more of that, and, well, here we are with all the dump-ins, the practicing dump-ins, and the complaining that his players don't "compete hard enough" to retrieve the puck after all of these dump-ins.

THIS

It's what has made me apoplectic lately.

I feel sick that I'm hoping for more Hawks goals, hopefully it'll force change.

It'll take a substantial losing streak for there to be much change before the trade deadline, I imagine. However, with the way the team has played in most of their recent games, that's certainly a very real possibility.
 
I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, but the Hawks suddenly and unexpectedly lost their equipment manager this morning. Tonight must be a very emotional game for them.
 
What was the Kadri quote?

Something along the lines of "we can beat any team in the league"?

Followed by losses to CAR (worst), PHI (bad) and CHI (best).

Yeah, ok then.
