Lose Leafs Lose!

Well with a loss to the Bruins on Tuesday, the Leafs are now 6 points out of a playoff spot with 5 games left, and they can be mathematically eliminated tonight with a loss against the Bruins.

For the Leafs to make the playoffs now is near impossible, and should not even be considered by the lowest intellect of Leafs Nation. For them to make the playoffs they would have to win each of their final five games, including regulation wins over Boston and Buffalo, have Boston lose the rest of their games, have Washington win just one out of their remaining five, and have both Florida and Buffalo play .500 hockey. Not happening.

So with the Leafs already being out of playoff contention, why not start Raycroft or call up Pogge and give him a few starts? This Leafs club will look drastically different come next year, and Raycroft will likely not be in the picture, so why not audition him so you can actually trade him? Oh right, because he is the worst goalie in the league. So since we are eliminated anyways, give the young guys more ice time and start Raycroft so we get a better draft pick rather than being stuck in no-man's land for the 3rd consecutive year.

Hopefully the new general manager next year will draft some real talent and rebuild this team out of mediocrity.
