February ends...

...and the Toronto Maple Leafs actually had a successful month this time around.  They are only a handful of points out of potentially making the playoffs this season in the Eastern Conference of the NHL (so are a number of teams as well).

But since the season started, we have been tracking the Leafs performance during the last three games of each month.  Although they lost 2 and won only 1, the 2 losses were in either during overtime or a shootout so they managed to gain 1 point in those two losses...4 points out of a possible 6 in those three games.  This was their most successful month end record this season!

So here are the results of the last 3 games the Leafs played in February.  Let hope the last 3 games of March are all winners and we stop joking about the Leafs making the playoffs, but they actually do!

Thursday February 24: Win-5-4 over Montreal in Montreal
Saturday February 26: Loss-6-5 to Pittsburgh at home (Shootout Loss)
Sunday February 27: Loss-3-2 to Atlanta in Atlanta (Overtime Loss)
