Season series: The Chicago Blackhawks may need to defeat goalie James Reimer in order to avoid being swept by the Toronto Maple Leafs. Reimer made 45 saves in a 3-2 Toronto victory at Air Canada Centre, including 26 in the third period. Reimer was the backup Saturday but relieved starter Jonathan Bernier in the third period of a 7-4 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers.

Yes, let's hope Toews and Kane combine for only 7 points...

Hi, my name's Tyler Bozak. I just found out why the coach always said 'never coast, ALWAYS skate hard.'

Hi, my name's Dion Phaneuf. Periods are 20:00 minutes long? I thought they were only 19:53.

Leaf fans, I know how you feel. Saw the Canucks do the same thing last year against the Ducks. Frustrating.

I'm so sick of this crap. If you play hard, and lose, I'm fine with that, but this garbage hockey is what they gave us before they went on a win streak. Why are they playing like this again. This is the NHL. If you don't bring it each, and every shift of every game, you are gonna get embarrassed.

The core has played the same for the past three seasons. They are not going to change and they are not going to accomplish anything. Balls in shanny's court to break up the core of this team.
