Can the Leafs reel in the last playoff spot? Sat, March 22, 2008
The Leafs lose the easy ones but win the tough ones.
After shedding three players at the NHL trade deadline, the Leafs have 20 games to close the gap on 8th place in the East, but will need some help.
Can the Leafs perform the improbable and reel in a playoff spot?

I can see it now...if the Leafs stink so bad why is it the SENS have never won a playoff against us. God forbid if the Leafs do make the playoffs and play the SENS there will be a suicide watch on in Ottawa for all their so called fans. By the way have you ever seen a team where ever they go have a large following as the Leafs do?? NO!!!Until the Sens win the Cup you guys should put up OR shut up!!!
GO LEAFS GO!!!

Even if the Leafs don't make the playoffs, they've still got the most loyal fans in the league who will support and have supported even when they're down.

With the Eastern conference so closely packed it's gonna be hard to tell. But you can't rule the Leafs out yet, thier only six points out (3 wins). Boston came back, so can Toronto, and with the way they and Mats have been performing of late, it's a definite possibility!
Go Leafs Go!!

For sure they can still make it to the playoffs.They seem a lot looser now that the uncertainty of the trade deadline is over.To us long suffering older Leaf fans almost making the playoffs is like almost winning the Cup! Go Leafs,I'm still on the old band wagon though I've had a hard time not falling off all these years !!!

Buddy: please enlighten us.... who is this "the greatest player to ever play the game" you speak of on the Leafs roster? I can only assume you're joking, if not you might want to seek psychological help.
The Leafs will not make the playoffs this year, or next year, or probably for a year or 2 after that. Come on Leafs Nation, you people should be used to mediocrity by now.... this is nothing new to you folks.

There are just to many teams between the leafs and 8th place and the leafs are to inconsistent.Barely beating Florida after creaming Ottawa is an example of same.They would have to go about 15 and 2 with todays abundance of 3 point games.

With Sundin still in the line up they could, but watch them slowly climb into 8th place and then get beaten and get put out into 9th. It's bad luck, since 1967.
