Only on the inside...

Pretty tough schedule until the end of the season. Starting to doubt Habs will make the playoffs. Especially the way they've been playing lately.

Aren’t the leafs the second highest scoring team?

The way they've been playing lately, I don't see them beating lots of teams. Last 5 games will be very tough. Also the Western trip, 2x against the Isles, 1x against the Canes. They should win the Detroit game at least

There's also the fact that these teams should play each other at least once or twice during the last stretch.... gotta take advantage of that.

Wonder if playing Drouin on the KK line will amount to anything good.

So far, the two of them never really "clicked" when paired together... but I'm willing to wait and see.

Drouin needs to play with guys that will go get the puck in corners for him.... Armia is doing a decent job at it... maybe that's the idea.

Probably. KK is starting to use his one-timer a little more as well, if Drouin can feed him maybe he'll finally get his first goal on the road.

he's at his best off the rush though. he should always play with fast skaters.

Thought nobody except me wanted to trade that guy at the deadline? As if he couldn't be replaced and was gonna be the key piece in making the playoffs or not.
