Mike Babcock Post Game, Blackhawks 5 vs. Leafs 4: “I thought [Matthews & Nylander] were dominant”

On the team’s awful start:

We didn’t start very good, obviously. They shot it in our net. We thought we competed way earlier in the third, but in the end, we didn’t compete good enough to win. We had lots of chances. Their goalie was real solid. He made lots of saves. In saying that, though, the first ten minutes of the game weren’t good enough. You spend the whole night battling and we’re right there. We were right there for our opportunity at the end, but in the end, you leave disappointed. It is not always going to go your way every night, but you want to start better.
