Last night in New York, the Leafs did not want to clinch the Canadiens and the Flyers a playoff spot as they played terrible the score tells the story (Rangers 5-1 Leafs). The Leafs kept giving up the puck and they barley had chances to score but they were rewarded for their terrible play by blown out to the Rangers."It's disappointing that our team didn't come out ready to play," said Phaneuf(who scored in the loss). "It's unacceptable at this time of the year." If the Leafs were to win this game they would've gave the Habs and Flyers a free pass to the post season. But instead both Montreal and Philadelphia will have to do it on their own. The Habs can clinch with a win or a overtime loss tonight against the Hurricanes. As the Flyers can do it tomorrow with a win against guess who? The New York Rangers.
"We wanted to make the Philly games count -- and they do now," Rangers coach John Tortorella said. "You don't have to look at the board anymore. It is in front of us now." In the win,Erik Christensen (had 2 goals),Vinny Prospal,Olli Jokinen and Aaron Voros all scored for New York and Lundqvist made 26 saves. The Leafs next game will be against the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night. As the Ranagers(as I said before) will play the Flyers on Friday.
