NHL Weekend Showdown: Will Canada’s Playoff Hopes Spark a Holiday Crisis?
1. Toronto Maple Leafs: They’re under .500, have the worst road record in the league and it seems increasingly clear they’re going to miss the playoffs for the first time in a decade. They just got embarrassed by their rivals on “Hockey Night in Canada.” The Sabres have now passed them, leaving them in dead last in the East. Everyone’s hurt, but they weren’t any good when they were healthy. They don’t own their own first-round picks for this year or next. The coach may be out of answers and the front office seems completely paralyzed. Other than that, going great.
