Yesterday was a momentous day for Leafs fans. Not only did their 3-1 loss to the Boston Bruins keep them in sole possession of last place (thereby having the highest probability of Auston Matthews), but it did something else quite hilarious.
You see, while Boston defeated the Leafs, the Montreal Canadiens were busy getting throttled by the New York Rangers in regulation. The Bruins improve to 88 points, while the Habs now max out at 86. The other two teams fighting for a playoff spot- the Philadelphia Flyers and Detroit Red Wings- have 85 points.
