NHL Notes

Nearly 58 years after the entire 1967 NHL season, playoffs included, “wrapped” with the last Toronto Maple Leafs’ title in what was their last NHL final appearance (Alex Trebek, yes that Alex Trebek narrated that year’s NHL playoffs film), the Leafs clinched something far less, but on paper, at least, gives them a better ‘offs position.

Toronto’s (4-0) win at Buffalo vs the Sabres, clinched the “reg div” title and sets up a Toronto vs Ottawa first round matchup.

In other “reg” news, the Winnipeg Jets nee Atlanta Thrashers, won the President’s Trophy, Alex Ovechkin became the NHL’s all-time goal scoring leader, while in last night’s tilt “Tor” players, Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews notched their 100th point this season and 400th career goal respectively.
