Ok Leaf fans, let's summarize the night. The Leafs lost their fifth in a row, Montreal won their third in a row and Eric Lindros most likely played his last game for the franchise. Yet another night in hell. I'm predicting we'll finish this season twelth in the conference. Our

I awoke this morning to find my Maple Leafs sitting in eleventh place in the Eastern Conference. We're five points behind Montreal for the final playoff position. The window's closing, it's getting dark and I can feel a chill setting in. The other day I received an email from someone
