Year after year, they fill their faithful full of false hope, only to crush their fans’ dreams in the playoffs. But maybe, just maybe, this year is different for the Toronto Maple Leafs and their long-suffering fans. For my best bet for Friday, May 9th: NHL Predictions, we’re backing the Leafs on the road in Sunrise, Florida. Let’s go!
Best Bet For Friday (May 9th): NHL Predictions
Toronto Maple Leafs vs Florida Panthers
Start Time: 7:00 PM EST
After winning the first two games of this series at home, the Toronto Maple Leafs head to Florida to face the Panthers in the Amerant Bank Arena with a 2-0 series lead and are the current favorites to hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup next month. They haven’t done their typical playoff collapse, even after their starting goalie, Anthony Stolarz, was stretchered off in Game 1, thrusting backup Joseph Woll into action.
Woll will be between the pipes again tomorrow, and that’s fine because Toronto has shown they can win with him in the net. And, more importantly, the Leafs have shown they can win games on the road, posting a league-best (tied with Washington) 25-13-3 road record during the regular season.
The Leafs are going up 3-0 over the defending Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers tomorrow night. And we’re going to win almost twice our money when they do.
Best Bet: Toronto ML (+195)
Best Bet Overall Record: 216-194 (53%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): -($282.10)
Return on Investment: -1%
