The Tavares Tankapalooza UPDATE 01/03/09

With Pierre Maguire hyping John Tavares beyond imagination, Leaf Nation will not be patient much longer. LET THE FIRESALE BEGIN.

The Leafs remain in striking distance for the local boy, and one loss will vault them past 4 teams and on the edge of the lottery.

They have some work to do to catch the incompetent Lightning, Isles and Sens, but they are right on the precipice.

To show how far the Leafs have to go to move among the elite of the league, you need look no further than the Bruins who are 8 points away from eliminating themselves from the Lottery process by early January.
