Game 81: Bolts at Maple Leafs - Biggest Must Lose Game of the Year!

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Jesus, Carlyle, bench Gardiner and Kessel before it's too late!

It's too late.

 

[Kin]

Woo! The captain coming through when we need him the most!

 

[pnjunction]

Nice goal but ugh

 

[ZBBM]

Nice salute, you bunch of sorryass losers.

 

[bustaheims]

Oh for crying... We were so close to 0 points.

This basically takes us out of the lottery for good now no?

They can still finish going into the lottery with the 4th overall pick.

 

[BermudaBudsFan]

Did Burke take the microphone and apologize?

 

[Erndog]

Who owns the tie breaker between Toronto and Carolina?

Are you sure?  I thought this takes us out of it.

 

[Fanatic]

Unreal!

Thata boy Phaneuf. Step up when the team needs you the least. You da man!

Brutal.

Why oh why are the people cheering? Is it for the lower draft pick? Is it for the great season? Is it for the worst fall off in Leafs history (from Feb 7th on)?

Just freaking brutal!

Go Jays Go!

 

[TML fan]

Nice! With that assist Kessel will finish with at least 82 points. Very nice year for him.

 

[Kin]

If there's anything funnier than a guy mean mugging after a goal to win a meaningless game I don't know what it is. Grrr, yeah, you showed 'em Dion.

 

[Kaberle15]

now the Leafs can finish as high as 8th

and MTL loses it.

Min is losing, we also need Anaheim to win...

:'(

Well as usual we'll need to lose on Sat and have the Isles win and Minn
gain at least one point.

TB blows it one year and gets Stamkos. We can only dream of actually having anything go right for us fans.

 

[Britishbulldog]

If it was like this all year then I would be happy but having the captain celebrating like he got the winning goal for the Stanley Cup is a bit much for me...and I am one of the easy going fans.

 

[bustaheims]

Are you sure?  I thought this takes us out of it.

The Islanders won, so they're a point back. In Anaheim beats Edmonton tonight, they stay ahead. Minnesota's 1 point back if they lose in regulation (they're currently trailing). All this game does is take Montreal out of equation.

It may not be likely, but, it's certainly possible.

So the worst we can do is 8th now?

.. and yeah, nice to see Kessel hit that point/game mark.

4th to 8th is the range now.

That is what I was trying to say too Nik.  I am a passionate supporter of the Leafs and typically optimistic.  That celebration was pathetic...or atleast that was my immediate reaction when watching it.  Bad form.

 

[Erndog]

We will win Saturday.

I am going to put a ton of money on a Leafs win.  That way, I'll be happy regardless.

Leafs win = money
Leads lose = lottery pick
