Eight straight losses in series-clinching games. Eighteen straight playoff games without a goal from Mitch Marner. A combined one goal between him and Auston Matthews. A blown 3-1 series lead.

Read More →I hate this team. I truly, deeply hate this team. The Toronto Maple Leafs, once again, show no killer instinct in an elimination game and come up completely flat.

Read More →by OddsShark (@OddsShark) – Sponsored Post The Toronto Maple Leafs’ struggle as a playoff home favorite and the Auston Matthews line’s scoring drought are two reasons to fade them in a do-or-done Game 7 where they have little value on the moneyline anyway, but can still survive and advance.

Read More →Listen, I know you don’t want to hear it. The Leafs lost in overtime and are back in another game seven. It sucks, yes, but there’s something you have to think about here and why it may be good. There is so much on the line. Somebody will likely get traded if they lose on…
