After last night's disappointing shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators, seven points separate the Leafs from the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The schedule doesn't get any easier from here and the Buds needed the victory badly. The effort and urgency of wins in Boston and Buffalo earlier in the week were nowhere to be found for long stretches of last night's game. It seems that if there is one thing the Leafs excel at, it's being inconsistent.
