The Leafs visit Chicago tonight, looking to end a two game skid that involved the most Leafy loss since 2013, and a well played game against pretty tough opposition on a back to back. They'll be facing a Chicago team that has struggled a bit to open the year, though former Leaf Richard Panik has had a hot start, and seems a mortal lock to continue the long-standing "former marginal player burns the Leafs".
If you're wondering why this was all written in present tense, that's because I'm writing it before the game starts. For those who haven't seen one of my game recaps before, I tend to do a 'running diary' style (popularized by Bill Simmons).
