The good news for both the Leafs and Habs....Atlanta sucked last night too! Despite both teams really struggling lately - that's 7 straight L's for Toronto - both teams are just 1 and 2 points out the 8th playoff spot respectively.

The Leafs also have two games in hand on Atlanta. Though fighting for that last playoff spot and likely facing up against their playoff nemesis (Philly) or a team that wants to punish them for knocking them out of the playoffs four of the last five seasons is really not the scenario I was hoping for heading into the season.

Drez, gotta hand it to you, those Sabres (along with Carolina and the Rag$) are the surprise of the season. And the way they spread out the scoring is amazing. Must be nice to roll four lines like that and not have anyone named "Domi" or "Kilger" getting icetime.
