Leafs’ Babcock unfazed by criticism amid 5-game skid. markhmasters has more:

"In a perfect world you want to have your partners and stick with it and have it work that way," Barrie said,"but when things aren't going well maybe a different combo can kind of jumpstart you."

"We're kind of killing ourselves," said Barrie."Last game was a bit embarrassing. We gave up probably 20 odd-man rushes it felt like. The good news is it's things we can fix. It's not that we don’t have the skill or the players in here it’s all, you know, essentially systems and commitment to doing it right.

Easier said than done for the pending unrestricted free agent, who spent his previous eight NHL years in Colorado. "It could be a good fit," Barrie said."He's a very skilled guy, he skates really well, he makes plays, he's a confident guy so hopefully we can mesh well together, get some stuff going in the O-zone and maybe it will be a fit."Amid a disappointing first season with Toronto, in which he's registered just six assists in 22 games, struggling Maple Leafs defenceman Tyson Barrie admits that the pressure of playing a contract year has been weighing on him.
