Leafs @ Blues - Nov. 4th, 7:00pm - CBC, Fan 590

You guys are all saying it's bad defense, but really it's the Blues are playing super well and their insistent forecheck is forcing errors. It's a good lesson.
 
Useless Bozak scores!  4-2 Blues.  A so what goal?

Blues get it back, and quick!  5-2 Blues.

No.  What you are looking at is some godawful defense more than anything.
 
I have to say, I'm not really disappointed with the losing.  I kind of thought there would be a regression this year.  What I am disappointed with is that this team is incredibly easy to play against.  I thought that they would at least be competitive.  It's men against boys most nights though.
 
2 plus years at the helm and Babcock has not done crap with this team defensively. We have been horrible for years and nothing has changed. Your that good of a coach and paid was he's getting paid how hard is it to improve on the pathetic defense we've seen over the years. If it's the players and they can't figure it out then starting moving some of them.

Yes that should be easy.  Here, take our garbage defensive players, and give us your good ones so that you can get worse and we can get better. 

Can't see why they haven't done that yet?

You can't sell low but I would be looking to move one of Rielly or Gardiner at some point.  They need a different mix on D.
 
I don't understand the face off penalties. When one of your guys is thrown out why bother even trying to win the face off especially when your in the defensive zone. Just let them win it and go straight in. Dumb inexcusable taking a penalty in that situation.
