"The Maple Leafs lost the hockey game in manner that still managed to come across as embarrassing, losing 5-1 to a club that is one of the teams below Toronto in the league standings."
"Toronto has played more than anyone chasing them in the standings which doesn't hurt either and the one in twenty chance of picking at the top of the draft improves with every failed effort the club puts forth."
"The Blues coming out strong as the Maple Leafs serves them well too. St. Louis is now just two points back of Toronto and it's been playing some of its best hockey of the year."
The Toronto Maple Leafs suffered an embarrassing 5-1 defeat against the St. Louis Blues, a team below them in the standings. Joseph Woll lost in his hometown, and Justin Holl scored against his former team. The Leafs managed only eight shots in the first two periods. With eight games remaining, the Leafs are positioned ninth from the bottom, increasing their chances for a top draft pick. The Blues, now two points behind Toronto, are playing well, while the Leafs' lack of effort raises doubts about their future performance.
