So it was quite a while ago that I had given up on the Leafs chances of making the playoffs this year. Primarily when they got beat back to back by the dirty Habs. I knew that they were not technically eliminated yet but I also knew that they would have to go on one hell of a big winning streak to make it in. Well what do ya know... They've done exactly that and have pulled off an unbelievable streak and are now sitting just 3 points out of a playoff spot. They still need a little help if they are going to make it in. They still have Tampa Bay and Atlanta ahead of them but if the Leafs keep playing the way they have for these next few games then they may have a shot.
Tampa has to lose 2 of 3, Atlanta has to lose 1 of 3 and the leafs have to win 3 for them to make it in. It may be tough as they have Ottawa tomorrow night and Buffalo on Sunday afternoon. BUT! Ottawa has not been playing their best as of late and they have been playing their 3rd string goalie lately. Plus the Buds hammered the Sabres 7-0 in their last game. So ya never know.
I only have one question to ask John Ferguson and Mr. Quinn. Where was J.S. Aubin all year?
GO LEAFS GO!
