Something that Shanahan said didn't sit right with me. When asked if he ever thought the Leafs were out of the Babcock race, he said "No I didn't, but I'm sure glad that everyone else did".
Just a wild theory, and I'm spit-balling, but could the Leafs have used the TO media to their advantage here? If my memory serves correct, didn't TSN come out and declare the Leafs out of the race a few days ago? That sure seems convenient for Mr. Shanahan that TSN got it wrong. And since we all know the TSN/Leafs history between Nonis/Dreger & co it seems odd that they did.
