The Toronto Maple Leafs need just one point tonight to clinch. Failing that, they can get a single point tomorrow against Carolina, or Montreal can lose their game, either in regulation or overtime, to Tampa tomorrow night.
Can the Leafs still get home ice advantage? Well, the Bruins have lost two in a row, and if the Leafs had of had any luck in the last couple of weeks (they were beaten by three hot goalies, and lost a game where Freddie Andersen had one of his worst ever performances) they’d be in the drivers seat here.
With any luck, the Leafs would be 6-0 or at least 5-1, which when coupled with Boston’s recent slide, would have given them a very strong chance for home ice in round one.
