Funny how both Boston and Florida want to avoid Tampa for the Leafs. Keefe should use this as motivation for the Leafs.

Florida has the tie breaker over Boston.
As the game goes into OT the out of town score board has Ottawa beating Boston in regulation.
Expect Florida to pull the goalie and shoot it into their own net to forfeit the loser point.
Washington with a minus 39 goal difference is in the playoffs.
Looks like Tor vs Bos and an all-Florida series.

Stranger things have happened, my early playoff predictions:
- Boston played poorly to get the Leafs, only to be eleiminated by the Leafs, and
- Florida played great to avoid the Leafs, only to be eliminated by Tampa.
Mostly wishful thoughts admittedly. The reality is at this point the Leafs have the inferior goaltending comparing to the other three teams. Woll hasn’t looked good and Samsonov is unpredictable. The Leafs trump card maybe is their forward depth if Bertuzzi, Domi, McMann,Knies and Robertson can rise to the occasion.

Florida screwed up. They had a golden opportunity to avoid TB. Toronto wasn't trying to win this game since 2 pts does nothing for them. They were focused on getting Matthews a goal.
power play for the season:
1st TB
7th Toronto
8th Florida
14th Boston

The statement by many pundits, "The Leafs are going to have to outscore their problems." Well of course outscoring your opponent wins you games.
Washington clinches on an empty net goal in a tied game.
Too bad for Detroit who won their last game and tied Washington in pts.
Dubas is OUT!!!
Pressure is on Boston. They threw their last game to face a weaker opponent and they are expected to win it all this year to make up for that early exit last year.
Playoffs are funny as all it takes is for a goalie to get hot. This year it seems that any team can win it.

That doesn't explain their horrendous defensive play in their own zone Tuesday night against Florida.
Detroit has more wins than Washington but Regulation wins is the 1st tiebreaker. Regulation wins is equal to 3 pts in theory but only used as a tiebreaker.
