Unfortunately, Tie Game Bernier saved the leafs from yet another of their dismal performances. The stinkin' leafs were outshot 43-26 by the Rangers but lucked out on a goal by Kadri very late in the 3rd to send the game into OT.
FORTUNATELY however, Tie Game COULDN'T save them in the shootout, so it was a 2-1 win for New York.
The leafs have now lost 7 of their last 9 and 11 of their last 15. They have won only 3 of their last 25 in regulation time. They have been outshot in 33 of their 39 games, usually by a WIDE margin like tonight.
They did pick up a loser point though, so they are now "only" 2 points behind the Wings, who lost to their nemesis the Islanders. Boston won and Stevie Y's Tampa Bay won, so those 2 teams moved 2 points up on the idle Habs and the Wings, and 1 point up on the leafs.
