The Toronto Maple Leafs could have clinched a playoff birth last night, but they did not.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have 97 points. The Montreal Canadians can get a maximum of 98 points, if they win their remaining games.
The Leafs have the tie breaker.
Therefore, any combination of points lost by the Canadiens or gained by the Toronto Maple Leafs will clinch a third-straight year of playoffs for the boys in blue.
Leafs vs Senators
I am guessing that everyone is overreacting to the Leafs loss last night, but there really isn’t any reason to be upset about it.
