from Damien Cox of the Toronto Star,
You think its painful for the Maple Leafs to be playing their best hockey of the season with no chance to make the playoffs?
Try the Caps predicament. One lost weekend turned great promise into what is likely to be another spring on the outside looking in.
Now, it appears there won’t be a group of three or four teams in each conference fighting to get into the playoffs right up until the final day of the season.
In the east, only ninth place Buffalo has a realistic chance to still get in. Out west, going into play yesterday only ninth place Nashville still had serious hopes of making it to the dance.
