I agree with you Rookie Fan. There are a couple of players on this team that are afraid to take a hit and always cough up the puck, and it ends up in the back of the net. It has happened all year long with a couple of them. I also agree both hits were dirty and there was a elbow to the head on Tolles. Who cares if no penalty was called, does not mean there should not have been one, missed calls happen in every game. The shocking thing to me is that NOBODY on this team stood up and put an end to the Chicago crap of running players much like the Elmira game earlier in the year when Harvey ran our guys all night long. 3 games in a week span where this team had 3 goal leads and blew them each time. This has got to be frustrating for Bootland, as his team has a work ethic problem and you can't coach lazy and you can't coach lack of pride. The two delay of game penalties in the 3rd period were due to lazy play. They don't get any respect from any other team that comes into wings stadium because they don't deserve it and they have not earned it, and if you play lazy the refs are not going to give you the calls. I feel bad for the goalies, they get no help from the defense to speak of and have not all year long. It appears 60 minutes is too much to ask of out of this team.
