What are the Leafs chances of making the playoffs after the trade deadline?

Oh the Pain

Would someone please stop the bleeding, as this is getting out of hand. 6 losses in a row, when the ship starts to stink, it goes down fast. It's not like Leafs are playing bad hockey for 60 minutes, only for the last 20. Once again, the Leafs squandered a third period lead. J.S. Aubin held Bruins scoreless through 2 periods, much like Raycroft did against the Thrashers the other night. And much like the other night, the opposing team came back to win the game. For 3 consecutive games, the Leafs have blown the lead in the third period. During their 6 game losing streak, they have been outscored 18-2. That's terrible. It would be really difficult for any team to be outscored by that much and win hockey games.

Who's to blame for this terrible slide? Pretty much everybody. Aubin played well last, but gave a terrible rebound that resulted in the eventual game winning goal, but the outcome can not solely rest on his shoulders. The entire team is playing 'flat' in the third period, team defense goes through lapses, and we don't need to mention how much difficulty they are having scoring. There are no saviors waiting in the wings to help this team out. There are no offensive prospects or players that are injured that can help this team out. They're struck with what they've got to get out this funk.
