A loss by the Leafs tomorrow combined with a win by Columbus and any points gained by Detroit, and, they'll be on the outside looking in - with the teams ahead of them having games in hand.

So now where are we? Detroit was way behind us now they can easily pass with their 20 games in hand.

I have no idea why we had to keep Reimer in after it was 2-0...why do we have to be losing 4-0 to get a goaltender change. Reimer was not in it tonight...3 terrible goals. After these last few games id be surprised if we get anything for Reimer in the summer.

Ah, it was a fun game. Leafs were unlucky - 3 crossbars, and some average at best goaltending. They deserved better. There were far more positives than negatives tonight overall.
And I'm going on record against the naysayers - Leafs will get the wildcard and go to the postseason.

So tomorrow becomes our D-Day.
Wild Card Spots:
Toronto 80
Detroit 79
---
Columbus 78
Tomorrow features:
Toronto @ New Jersey
Columbus @ New York (Islanders)
Minnesota @ Detroit
The part that's concerning is that both the Wings/Jackets have 2 games in hand, and one of the two is guaranteed 2 points on Tuesday as they play one another.

Weren't we 3rd in the conference recently? Bolland is great btw it just might be too late.

Although since we'd expect to lose badly we'd have nothing t lose I guess. Still not the same as wing close to home ice advantage.

Yeah I think you'd have to have the mindset that there's nothing to lose.
I don't see us winning the series in either case, but I'd rather it be Pittsburgh than Boston. At least with them, there is instability and a lot of injury problems plaguing the organization.
Meanwhile Boston has won 11 in a row and their offense is really starting to come together nicely.

The weird thing, is that if Bernier goes into a series healthy, I honestly think the leafs could win a playoff series against any team in the league.
And just as easily, I could see them lose a series against Buffalo or Florida. The team has that uncanny ability to be worldbeater terrific for stretches, and gawdawful beyond belief as well.

With all of 104 career minutes in net in the NHL. He's an excellent AHL goalie, but, expecting anything out of him at the NHL level is asking for trouble.
And, as poorly as Reimer played tonight, the rest of the team really needs to a better job of helping their goaltender out. With the way they've played over the last week or so, it really wouldn't matter who was in net. The Habs had the puck in high percentage areas all too often tonight - they just tried to do too much with it.
