You may have noticed that the Maple Leafs aren’t having a great stretch of games in the past two weeks. Despite the team looking better on the ice last night, they still lost.


Toronto Maple Leafs play best game in weeks; get shutout anyway

What if the Oilers failureitis is contagious, and the Leafs caught some of it? Are they doomed? Is this the end for our beloved young heroes? Is all hope of a Stanley Cup lost?

Probably not.

And the Leafs can prove that with a good thrashing of the Sabres tonight.

The Oilers still can’t win, but Milan Lucic can sure be a sore loser.

Mike Hoffman forgot how this whole game of hockey thing works.

This is it for the news, today. It feels like most of the league is coasting through these last nine or ten games until the playoffs start. There will be a slew of eliminations and clinchings by the end of this week. Only the Wild Card spots are still up in the air. The Canadiens are one point under the Blue Jackets, and the Wild are one under the Coyotes. Beyond those races, don’t expect much to happen until the real fun begins with the playoffs in April.
