Game Notes

TOR
?Campbell (2-2-1, 2.39 GAA, .915 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs

CHI
?Fleury (0-4-0, 5.75 GAA, .839 Sv%) will likely start for the Blackhawks
?Chicago has set an NHL record for the longest start to the season without ever holding a lead
?To make matters worse Chicago also of course has a number of players on the COVID-19 protocol list. 5 players and 3 members of the coaching staff are currently out. It's not clear if any of those individuals have actually tested positive so there's still a chance some of them could be removed in time for the game

Hawks' first lead of the season incoming early in the 1st. You can bank on that.

Are the Leafs the leafs cos they've been a bit meh and don't deserve a capital L

As long as CHI is on an embarrassment roll they need to get rid of their racist logo.

Nothing racist about the logo.  It is actually honoring a Chief

I think it's pretty telling that you think this logo is doing a historical figure an honor when you describe that person as "a Chief" and not by his actual name which, given the circumstances, is pretty easy to remember.

Which, of course, is the argument in a nutshell. It's not really honouring anyone but reducing them to mascots.

A time honoured strategy against the Leafs is to play your third string backup goalie and he will inevitably have the game of his life, win with a .940 sv%, and turn back into an 0.860 pumpkin the rest of the way.

Yup. Even if they didn't want to get rid of the imagery completely and not go fully non-racist, their secondary logo would fit nicely.

Their name would still honour Black Hawk of Illinois? Sac & Fox Nation, but would get rid of the stereotyped look of things.

The alternate logo that I wanted, designed by Ojibway artist Mike Ivall, was since sold to the Maplesoft Hawks AAA team and it still looks frickin' awesome.

Way too cool for an NHL team.

I believe it is indeed Carlton's passive aggressiveness on display there.

He's reserving the big "L" for when they lose tonight.

Come on now, it might have been an honest mistake.

There's no winning tonight...they win and people will say "wow, you beat an AHL team for once", or they lose and they'll burn down the Scotiabank Arena overnight.

Torches and pitchforks are sold out for miles around the SBA.

Wins/losses mean nothing to be this season (outside of doing it enough to make the playoffs). 

They really need to have a game where a bunch of guys find the back of the net. Get some confidence going through the team.

  Chief.  Is not a racist remarks.  A chief is still elected along with the council members. The
Chief still wears a headdress at most ceremonies.  People are so worried about  not offending anyone that you. Start to fight battles
That are not even there let alone yours

Go leafs Go!

Chicago could easily switch to something like this and lose the racial identity:
