Toronto Maple Leafs squeaked out a 4-3 shootout win in Boston tonight. Four games left and need all eight points to even have a chance. Hopefully the New York Rangers can choke some more. http://amplify.com/u/bxd38

All they can do is keep winning and let the chips fall where they may.

Allsports article on the Maple Leafs loss to the Detroit Red Wings last night and how it has pretty well ended their playoff chances because Buffalo won again.

Matt Cooke was suspended for the last 10 games of the regular season and the first round of the playoffs for his blatant hit to the head of New York Rangers defenceman Ryan McDonagh.

Mario Lemieux and Ray Shero must have a little egg on their face now after making such a big stink about dirty play in the NHL. Mario even wrote a letter to Bettman calling for stiffer penalties (fines) to teams that harbor these players. Well Mario, put up or shut up, I guess you had better fine your own team to save face. You pay Matt Cooke to play hockey and he is if not the dirtiest then very close to it, player in the league. The guys history of questionable hits makes him the worst active offender in the league. Take the instigator rule out of hockey and guys like Cooke will disappear from the game, either that or they will tone it down. Nothing says clean up your act like a broken jaw for being a jerk.

Cooke may need a couple of body guards when he attends the next NHLPA meeting. http://amplify.com/u/bw75a

The Maple Leafs are the highest valued NHL franchise, just ahead of the New York Rangers. http://amplify.com/u/bvrwt

The #MapleLeafs stayed in the playoff hunt with a strong 5-2 win over Boston last night. They stayed close to Buffalo and the New York Rangers. The problem is that both of these team keep on wining too so they are not making up any ground.

They are still 4 points behind Buffalo for the 8th and final playoffs spot and to make matters worse they have to leap frog the Carolina Hurricanes to get there.

Allsports is truly the optimist but I think the Leafs will need a whole bunch of luck to get through. Carolina has one game in hand and Buffalo has 2 http://amplify.com/u/bvi4l

Someone should put a boot to this Columbian football player

Allsports article on the cruelty of a South American footballer kicking an injured owl off the pitch. Someone should have kicked him. Incident was in Colombian league play.







I guess maybe there should be some sympathy for Luis Moreno because the owl had more intelligence than he does
