In case you hadn’t heard all the panicked screams, the Maple Leafs have lost four of their past 10 games, including the last three in a row (salvaging one loser point in a overtime). Everyone sounds terrified right now that another eighteen-wheeler off a cliff scenario is in progress.
The Leafs sit at third place in the division in a regular playoff slot behind the Bruins and the Lightning. They are being chased by the Habs who are three points behind. If the Habs win tonight, and then pass the Leafs by earning more points this week, the Leafs could fall to a Wild Card playoff spot.
