Leafs with the win over the Panthers last night.
00:02
Now, this is very significant in the,
00:05
if Luke could bring me up that East standings real fast,
00:08
look, I'm gonna make Luke do some traffic work here.
00:11
Look at that.
00:12
So now Florida, Scotty, if you look,
00:14
the Leafs, I should say,
00:15
they have now opened up some space
00:17
in that Atlantic division
00:19
to where they have a three-point lead over Tampa
00:21
and a four-point lead over Florida.
00:25
And I think that's significant because,
00:27
you know, two of those three teams
00:28
are gonna have to play each other in the first round.
00:31
The other team's probably gonna play Ottawa
00:33
in the first round.
00:35
You want to avoid,
00:36
if you're the Toronto
00:37
and you've had the problems you've had in the playoffs,
00:40
staying away from Tampa and Florida in the first round
00:44
would probably be the best medicine.
00:45
So huge win for the Maple Leafs last night on that front.
00:49
The Rangers won in overtime
00:52
and that gets them even in points with Montreal.
00:55
As you saw up there,
00:56
they both have 79 after last night.
00:59
The Rangers have played one more game though.
01:02
And they do have more regulation wins,
01:04
but because they played one more game,
01:06
they are still technically behind Montreal in the standings.
01:10
Colorado needed a shootout to beat Chicago
01:13
and the Canes beat the Caps 5-1.
01:15
Ovi scored 892.
01:18
He is three away from the record.
01:20
He's gonna get it.
01:21
I mean, it's minus 500 now.
01:22
He's scoring.
01:23
He's got like six games left.
01:24
As I have told you for weeks,
01:26
he's gonna break the record against the Islanders.
01:29
They're playing Chicago tomorrow night against the Black,
01:31
they're in Chicago against the Blackhawks.
01:33
I bet you'll score one or two goals against Chicago.
01:37
And then Sunday at the horse track,
01:39
he'll break the record against the Isles
01:41
with only three goals to go.
01:43
Yeah, I have no problem with that.
01:46
I don't care when, where, how, I just want it to happen.
01:49
I think it's very exciting for him.
01:52
And obviously it's great for the league.
01:54
And I think it's deserved.
01:56
I think the guy's a sniper like I've never seen.
01:59
He's had a great rivalry with Crosby through the years.
02:03
Crosby's got the three, he's got one in terms of cups.
02:07
But when you got your name on the cup, it doesn't matter.
02:10
You got your name on the cup.
02:11
He got one, he can live with that.
02:13
And then if he breaks Gretzky, I mean,
02:15
a Stanley Cup and the record of the most goals ever
02:19
in the history of the game,
02:20
I think he'll sleep well at night.
