Well the annual March run for 9th place is in full gear now. When the pressure is off, boy the Leafs can play good hockey. They are now 7-2-1 in the past 10 games and if they keep this pace up for 13 more games they will go 10-3 and finish with 90 points. That should be good for 9th or 10th place since history shows that to land 8th place a team will need at least 92 points.
If only the NHL started the season in February and was limited to just 25 games. The Leafs would be a powerhouse.
Doing damage were the same players that have killed the Leafs playoff chances all season long. Bryan McCabe had a goal and 3 assists, Jason Blake had a goal and 2 assists and Darcy Tucker had a goal and and assist. These three players now have a combined 33 goals for the season in addition to a combined salary of $14.15 million.
Looking forward to another mid round draft selection in June.
