Two (three if counting Florida) games vs. opponents in a playoff spot left for the Leafs. Five (seven) games for Boston. Leafs need to make up 6 points to overtake the Bruins and get home ice.

It's still a long shot but I do like those chances, especially if McBackup gets at least half the games down the stretch because he's now a Vezina candidate apparently.

Today's fun fact is brought to you by the firm of "I hate the shootout and it messes with records".

Which team leads the League in Shootout wins this year?

Too easy? Yeah, since I posted it in the Leafs thread......

On to the fun fact.

All 7 of the Leafs shootout wins are at home.
Both of their 2 shootout losses are on the road.





Why did I look? Because the stupid extra point for SO wins messes with records, so I went looking to "stupid rule adjust" the current year record.

I think the Leafs led the league in shootout losses last year.

I didn't see much of the Sabres / Maple Leafs game but it would appears the ice was slightly tilted.
Shot Attempts: 86-41 TOR
Slot Attempts: 47-9 TOR
Shots on Goal: 41-27 TOR
Slot Shots on Goal: 21-8 TOR

Goals: 3-2 Buffalo





the slot attempts of 47 is a season high for any team this year

great news - I won a half of a cucumber farm!
Anybody who is not at least a few cukes richer today has only themselves to blame.

And yet Buffalo probably had as many high danger chances stopped by Andersen as Toronto did by Johnson. Weird game.

I would've started McBackup but what do I know. Nice one for your drive for last.

Off-topic, but great episode. Matthew Rhys is the best actor on TV today, I hope this is the year he wins something.
During the hockey game I swear he looked like he belonged behind a bench somewhere.

The line dancing cracked me up too.

Did I see a guy at the game last night wearing a Mattkov jersey?

I wonder where the rink was? I didn't recognize it, maybe Rye Playland?

Henry will be my boy until the day he dies. Which I'm really hoping doesn't happen until a re-reboot taking place in 2040.

I doubt there’s any way the team brings him back next year but hats off to McBackup. .934 sv% in 18 games this year is pretty damn impressive for a backup goalie, probably the best the Leafs have had since I’ve been a fan. Not too shabby for a waiver pick up.

Isn't he signed for next year? Going by memory. If so, why not bring him back?
