Leafs Make Late Push

The Buds are now making their annual late season push for the playoffs. Unfortunately, this time they may be too far behind for it to matter. This is even worse because just like the last two years, they make a late stretch-drive run and it only leafs them to 9th or 10th place in the Eastern conference. Not making the playoffs and getting the worst possible pick in doing so is a double-edged sword. For all the Tank Nation supporters, the schedule doesn't look too fortunate for the Leafs even if they're playing their best hockey. Ottawa plays the blue and white twice, as do the Devils, Flyers and Canadiens. The Bruins square off with the Buds three times along with the Sabres and finally one spin with the lowly Islanders. For those hoping for a high pick your dream may still come true.
