Having just killed a four minute penalty and up 1-0 in the first, I thought to myself, they're playing well tonight.
As usual, the lead slipped away and we lost our 14th game in 23. We're 12th in a 15 team conference. Just behind us are the Penguins and Sabres, and you can bet they'll eventually pass us. If/when the Leafs miss the playoffs for the third consecutive year, there had better be a bludgeoning. If we blow this up and try again, James could see playoff hockey before he's a teenager. I might see us contend again before I die of old age. That would be sweet.
