OK, so last night's win was ugly, but it was a win. The Leafs snapped a four-game losing streak, and maintained a 3-point lead over the Washington Capitals. Here's hoping the Leafs figure out their defensive zone coverage in time for their next game against the Canucks.
In other news, there's still plenty of Rick Nash chatter to go around, with the Leafs believed to be on Nash's "OK-I'll-accept-a-trade-there" list. Of course, most Leafs fans don't seem to want him. Asking price, cap hit, a lack of prospect depth, or even how well he'd fit into the lineup are all good reasons.
More playoff bubble talk, trade talk, and a few tidbits from around the league after the jump.
