I guess I'd just gotten used to Patrick being there all those years. He must have been there 10+ at least. Good point about Price. The Habs could go deep if he holds up and they get the right match-ups. In response to the first comment: Good observations about the next few games. The Leafs' could definitely make it interesting although I think it's a long shot at best. No matter how you slice it, they're going to have to get 90-92 points. Sundin sticking around gave the Leafs (and Sundin himself) something to prove. They are just riding that momentum. Once they lose a game, they'll be the same old Leafs. If that loss doesn't come for five games, you could be right. Otherwise, they're in the Stamkos sweepstakes. Oh ya, thanks for the reminder.

Wouldn't want to play them or the Habs (Price owns the Pens in my mind) in the playoffs. By the way, the Hall of Famer Craig Patrick is out at Pens GM and the great Ray Shero is in.

When they pull off back to back wins against Tampa and Washington (very possible) and the Sabres lose to both Montreal and the Red Wings they are only 2 points out.
