Did I say we had as much chance of making the playoffs as the Leafs?

OK. Maybe I did. But then my math skills are better than Mats Sundin.

Yes, it's true that before this afternoon's against Etobicoke I did say mathematically we could make the playoffs in the Brampton Tournament but our chance were about the same as the Maple Leafs. Afterall, we only had one point in the first two games of the Tournament and 11 teams out of 18 had better records than we did. Only the top 2 teams in each of the 3 Pools made the playoffs plus 2 wild card teams.

But I did also say that if the right combination of teams won and loss, if we beat Etobicoke and if we scored a bunch of goals then we would have a decent chance. Well we beat Etobicoke. We scored 4 goals. The right teams won and lost with goal margins that didn't hurt us. And as it turned out we were the first-seeded wild card team.

Against Etobicoke everything seemed to go right. We hit the ice full speed and never looked back. We scored all 4 goals on the powerplay and successfully killed off 5 penalties of our own including 2 separate 5on 3 situations. Again, Kendra and Bianca shard the shutout with the help of a couple of goalposts.

Mari again lead the offensive with 2 goals, her 19th and 20th of the season. The second goal was her 30th point of the season to tie a team record set my Heather last season. Lauren F crashed into the net for her first goal of the season and Rebecca also scored a goal.

It was quite clear after whether we had been successful in grabbing a playoff spot although the team played very well in all three games. But later in the afternoon as the scores began to be posted, it became clear that we had made it.
