As the 2011-12 regular season enters the home stretch, the Playoff race is beginning to tighten. For the Leafs, their job is simple; win hockey games. For the rest of the league, it's a little more complicated; win or lose games based on how it would impact the Maple Leafs playoff chances. Now if you're of the sort to believe that wearing a certain article of clothing can affect a team's play, or that stepping on a crack with break Sidney Crosby's C1 and C2 vertebrae, then you also have some work to do.
