is the players have just, the U-Hauls are packed, at least for the Olympic break.

Now, that is significant to point out, that the Olympic break is a fresh start for everyone in the league, and possibly the Leafs included.

But before they dropped a puck last night, they're 10 points out.

Montreal wins, Boston wins, Buffalo wins.

Before they drop the puck, they're 10 points out.

And then a minute and something in, they're down 1-0.

They're down 1-0, and you realize it's deflation, and they're done.

And it's over.

And Stolarz wasn't very good last night, and they actually outshot the Kraken, which is something that rarely happens.

But ultimately, the details of the game, unfortunately...

don't really matter right now.

It's the bigger picture of what's going on with the team and the direction they're going to take this in.

With every loss...

you get closer and closer to looking backwards and thinking, can you drop far enough where you keep your draft pick this year?

That's really at the forefront of it.

It's true, though, Noodles.

It's not out of the realm of possibility that they could drop so far down the standings because they're like 24th in the league right now.

They're already in the bottom third.

But...

It might have to happen, Noodles.
