CHICAGO—If you read between the lines of Mike Babcock’s early-season assessment of his youth-laden Maple Leafs team, it’s not difficult to detect where the coach’s dissatisfaction lies. I like how quick we play,” Babcock was saying after Thursday’s 3-2 loss in Minnesota. The Maple Leafs, after all, head into Saturday’s game against the Blackhawks with a team save percentage of .879. In three starts, he’s only had one that’s left him marginally satisfied — a 4-1 win over Boston in Saturday’s home opener. Otherwise, he’s been searching his crease for something he has yet to stumble across.
