Remember "way back" for this post when I wrote:
If Tampa Bay wins 2 out of 3, Toronto is out. If Tampa Bay wins one and ties the another one Toronto is again out of the playoffs: Tampa Bay will have 92 points which Toronto can only tie, but will have 43 or 44 wins: Toronto can only get 42, and again Toronto is out.Well, that was (for now) the scenario. Tampa lost in OT yesterday, and won today, which means... (insert drum roll please):
The Toronto Maple Leafs are officially eliminated from the playoffs!
Hold on, I need a moment to bask...
Damn that feels good. TSN reports the embarassing news that despite Toronto's win (gack) against Ottawa it no longer matters: the Lightning have achieved at least 92 points which means the absolute best result now can be a tie with Tampa and Toronto in points. This, as I've established, is not in Toronto's best interests. Nice work Tampa. Try to get 2 more just to shut the T.O. establishment up for a while, okay?
I don't know about you, but that deserves a beer.
