The odds are stacked against the Maple Leafs heading into Game 5 tonight in Boston. This is the Morning Coffee for Tuesday, April 30th, 2024.
PublishedThe Toronto Maple Leafs were even-money to beat the Boston Bruins in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs at FanDuel.The odds are stacked against the Maple Leafs heading into Game 5 tonight in Boston.
Still, if Toronto can find a way to secure an upset win tonight in Boston, their outlook could potentially be very different heading into Game 6 on home ice.I wouldn’t bet on the Maple Leafs to win the series.I’m excited to see how every single player on Toronto’s roster responds with the season on the line tonight.
Considering how quickly things went south versus Florida last year, and the fact that the Panthers already punched their ticket to the second round with a win over the Tampa Bay Lightning last night, there will be some pressure on Boston to end the series tonight.The Maple Leafs are 0-11 down 3-1 in a series that began on the road.
That number represents the longest odds that either team has had to win a game so far in this series.A year ago at this time, the Bruins led the Panthers 3-1 in the first round and were -3500 to advance.I understand that the current situation is much different, but if you’re looking for even a sliver of hope as a Leafs fan, then you’ll probably appreciate that stranger things have happened.
While Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, and Cale Makar have all made their marks through four games, it’s been Valeri Nichushkin and Artturi Lehkonen that have led the Avalanche with six and four goals, respectively. Anybody looking for a better number could add Nichushkin 2+ shots on goal to the SGP+ and get +103 odds.
