Last night must have been a tough pill to swallow for former Maple Leafs executives Kyle Dubas and Jason Spezza as they represented their new team, the Pittsburgh Penguins in a crucial matchup with high stakes on the line. The Penguins eventually lost the match 3-2 in overtime.
During the match, Jake McCabe netted the overtime winner, and the sportsnet pannel immediately showed the heartbreaking reaction of GM Kyle Dubas and former Toronto Maple Leaf Jason Spezza.Sometimes the most quiet reactions speak the most volume, it appeared so by Dubas and Spezza. It seemed like they didn't want to show the frustration Leafs fans were craving, but judging by their faces it seemed like a devastating reaction to a devastating defeat.
According to moneypuck.com, the Pittsburgh Penguins currently have a 38% chance at making the playoffs after yesterday's defeat versus the surging Toronto Maple Leafs.
It's not an impossible scenario out here in Pittsburgh, with four games remaining the math argues that they must gather at least 6 points to even stand a chance with the likes of Detroit Red Wings, Washington Capitals and the Philadelphia Flyers all aching to see themselves in the postseason.
