The Winnipeg Jets' season may be over, but that didn't stop them from helping to reduce the chances of the Toronto Maple Leafs from entering the post season playoffs, beating the Buds 4-2 at the ACC.
Other than a goofy give-away by Ondrej Pavelec, he was pretty solid, but the Leafs were just that much worse. Even though they opened the scoring early, the allowed the Jets to come right back and tie it up.
If the Leafs had a hope of reaching the post-season, they certainly had to beat non-playoff team like the Jets. But, as would a play in the third period that saw the Jets maintain possession of the puck for nearly two full minutes would attest to, the Leafs are also a non-playoff team.
Doesn't the sting of not making the playoffs again seem just a little less painful knowing we helped stop the Leafs before they got going?
