Someone forgot to tell the team they are in the playoff race

From all reports I've read and heard this morning, it sounds like it was a good thing that I was unable to watch the Leafs game last. A terrible first period for the Leafs, they allowed 23 shots on net, with 22 of them coming in the first 11 1/2 minutes. With the Leafs fighting for a playoff spot (dropped to 11th), how do you come out so slow? Where is the sense of urgency?

Speaking of wondering where things are, has anyone located the Leafs power play unit? They've been M.I.A. for over a month. Their 0-8 performance last night brought their 0-fer streak to 19. Is it a coincidence that the 0-fer streak consists of the last 3 games that Kaberle has been out of the lineup? Since January 27th, the Leafs power play has been terrible, going 7-80. So much for Darcy Tucker's return to the lineup to spark this dismal unit.

If there is a light at the end of the tunnel for the Leafs, it may come Saturday night, as Kyle Wellwood is set to return to the lineup. He will hopefully provide the spark that the power play needs. Wellwood has missed the last 33 games.
