Logic would dictate that the playoffs are not possible for NewJersey. The odds of winning all the remaining games are slim, but who would have believed the Devils would have such a long undefeated streak. Simply put, parity in the league allows many more teams to compete until the very last game of the season. Not many will admit the Devils are finished from post season. Confidence can make David defeat Goliath, just like New Jersey has done to many teams. On many nights the Leafs have shown the same confidence that allowed them to surprise excellent teams. However, the Leafs struggle to find the confidence to defeat weaker teams, like the Islanders. There are no such things as winnable games, but at this time of year the phrase "must win" rings loud and clear.
