A dark, dark day here in Leafs land.

Sadly, my beloved Toronto Maple Leafs failed to make the playoffs this year for the second year in a row. Despite clawing back from a 5-3 deficit last night against the Habs to win 6-5, lady luck refused to extend an additional helping hand this afternoon and instead saw the New York Islanders beat the Devils in a shootout.

The full drama of the Isles' win today, can be read here.

Out of respect, let's all take a moment to reflect on this past season's ups and downs.
