Corsi Hockey League: Blackhawks let Central Division down in L.A.
Editor's note: This post is written in jest
Bruce Boudreau will not forget.
The Minnesota Wild head coach saw his Central Division crash out of the All-Star tournament in L.A. after a 10-3 whipping at the hands of the Pacific, and his contingent of Chicago Blackhawks are to blame.
Check out the horrific possession numbers of Patrick Kane, Duncan Keith, and Jonathan Toews - three of the 100 greatest players in NHL history - from the 20-minute affair played at 3-on-3:
| Player | Corsi For |
|---|---|
| Kane | 23.81% |
| Keith | 20% |
| Toews | 23.81% |
The three Blackhawks were the worst possession players on the Central. They simply did not show up Sunday.
After 10 minutes, Boudreau told Sportsnet's David Amber during a broadcast interview that he wasn't happy, and he questioned his team's effort. He was clearly talking about his players representing Chicago.
Bruce Boudreau as he's walking off the podium: "That was only a $91,000 loss."

Corey Crawford, meanwhile, was a disaster in goal. He stopped only five of 11 shots he faced, and it was clear Boudreau should have started Devan Dubnyk.
The Central Division, it's got regrets.
