Leafs @ Lightning - Apr. 8th, 7:30pm - SN, TSN 1050

I'm sensing a diminution in the engagement level of our posting brother- and sisterhood.

These games haven't made the transition from tragedy to comedy for everyone yet.

Passing through farce on the way.

Maybe I should join LHF in semi-abandoning the HMS Pinafore here.

Nice dive by Stamkos.

Boy, Rielly is going to be something.

I agree, but I do think that Gardiner will be the more elite NHL dman.  As far as his skating in tight areas, quick changes of direction and using his edges effectively, Gardiner is in a league of his own on this team.

We stink dudes...

Has Phaneuf ever blocked a shot in his entire natural life, or is it always like that one?

 

[2badknees]

Looks like they're really missing st. louis.

No, it's been a stragedy from the start, transition not required, end of line.

Late to the party guys.  I see that Columbus is leading 3-2.

You're not late to the party. Trust me. It's all but wrapped up...

Looks like the bandaid is going to be pulled off quickly.

Columbus wins, so, anything less than a win for the Leafs, and they're done.

That's too bad.

I was thinking that but have been to busy with work to do the math.

Columbus 5 minutes away from making the Leafs effort in the 3rd period completely meaningless.

Nice season guys....

Detroit's win tonight helped officially seal the deal.

If the acc had a cannon, we'd be in the playoffs too. Its really the have's and the have nots. We can't compete with the internal resources of a Columbus.

Are you saying the playing for pride, for the honor of wearing one of the most storied crests in all of sport, is meaningless??

What would we load the cannon with, Leafs? Burn the ACC to the ground? Some people might get behind that...

In draft pick news things are at least looking ok.

Washington is up 2-1 on St. Louis.  A win and they jump in front of the Leafs.  Ottawa is up 3-1 on the Islanders and would move to within 2 points of the Leafs.
