Well, obviously Ottawa's the better team and (barring a boat load of injuries) are going to win the Northeast and finish ahead of Toronto, again, but I do think the Leafs have a decent shot at winning it all, not clawing for a playoff spot like some people are saying.
I don't think they'll be clawing for a playoff spot at all, not with how weak the East is again this year. But they have no shot in the playoffs with their defence as horrible as it is. Belfour's going to snap one of these days, I'm telling you.
