This might be the first time in my life I was sorry the Toronto Maple Leafs won. The third period took place while I was playing dodgeball, so it was on my drive home that I heard we were victorious. My fear is that MLSE will view these two points as hope we can go on a miraculous run and secure 8th place in the conference.
In reality, this was a one-goal victory at home against a struggling team on home ice. Quite frankly, it's two points I'd gladly throw back in the pool. The Sword of Damocles must fall.
