cferneyh, while the Habs effort tonight gives me hope that they won't catch the Leafs for a playoff spot, the reality is that the Leafs are in a battle with the Thrashers, Devils, Lightning and Habs for the final three playoff spots in the East....

This is true. And with the way Eddie has been playing this season, in could be a very quick first round exit if they manage to get a spot.
