Canucks looked like such a soft team last night. Tocchet probably wanted to play for them instead.

"Edmonton is 7-0-0 against PIT in the last seven games, with a combined score of a 37-9 margin along the way."

Streak over.

Strange night all around. The Islanders shut out Vegas, in Vegas?

I’m waiting for a team to figure out the forward pass on a PP.

Like to see at some dump and destroy on the PP.

Never liked seeming the Leafs defenders getting boarded into next week without boarding calls, but at least make the other team pay something. Keep the other team unsure, you can read those passback plays from your living room.

Watched a bit of that, and the Islanders just finished off some close in goals. Seemed like there was space in front and they didn't waste them.

Thwy have almost fallen out of a playoff spot. Seems like one of Colombus, Pit, or even the Rangers will grab that spot.

Ott just can't get a streak going.

Is it possible the Leafs won't actualy know who they are playing until the final week?

Can you imagine if we finished 1st overall, and then lost to Ottawa or Montreal in the 1st round?

I mean that is a strong possibility, its the leafs!

The best thing about the modern day Leafs is that we don't lose to Ottawa in the playoffs.

MTL just beat WSH in WSH, impressive!

That's probably accurate. Since the 93 Leafs almost going to the final, beating Ottawa have probably been the high points for this team. Then again, those series were a while ago. I'm not too worried about this actually happening, but then again, I wasn't too worried about losing to MTL a few years ago either, until it happened.

I can imagine it. And I hate it.

Canucks really slumping. Need to take full advantage of that tomorrow.
