Thrashers, Antropov eliminate Leafs from playoffs

The boo-birds were waiting for Nik Antropov, and he responded in kind, potting the winning goal in the third to officially eliminate the Leafs from the playoffs. Has it really been 6 years since we say hockey in the spring? So sad.

The 14 point spread between the 29th place Leafs and the 30th place Oilers is sufficient padding to keep the Leafs off the basement floor for the season. There’s 4 points separating the Leafs from 25th place, providing the Canes, Panthers, Islanders and Lightning all cave and the Buds don’t. Everybody south of Carolina in the standings are currently on losing streaks right now, and all of them also have a game in hand, so barring some miracle the L:eafs are likely to finish 29th or close enough to it the Boston comes up cream pie in the lottery draft.

The end drawns near.
