Break Up the Maple Leafs......PLEASE!

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.
