Leafs pound Caps

Oh what to do on a Saturday night at the ACC… Hockey Night in Canada.

Let’s see…..

Batter the best team in the league. How about some of that? Where do we sign up for some of that? We have that. We have that.

With 8 wins in their last 12 games (those 2 stinkers in Boston already distant memories) and points in 9 of their last 13, the leafs are playing at a .66 clip – the pace the pundits claim was necessary to get the Leafs back into the playoff fold before the end of the season. Well… let’s hang on a bit shall we? Of the next  5 games, even the Coyotes are  a threat. Hell, they’re on a streak of their own and pose a much better record than our Buds. We have the Sens in town Monday, the big bad Bruins are back for more blood, and we have a home and home series with the Sabres making a sandwich out of the Bruins before the game against the lowly Islanders just before the Christmas break.

Reality check coming our way.

Blake still doomed

Would love to start a pool on when Jason Blake gets relieved of his duties as a Leaf and how. In any event, it should be well before the trade deadline and since no-one is likely to queue up for his services, I vote for waivers to the Marlies. Sorry buddy. Thanks for your efforts. Don’t let the door hit….

Two points separate the Leafs from 3 teams sitting behind the 8th playoff spot. Reasonable to think the Leafs will jump over the Flyers soon – Philly is imploding big time. Big prolems there. Bigger than here. With 4 of the coming games against division opponents, the time is now.

GO LEAFS GO!!!
