Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Tampa Bay Lightning Best Bet

I will keep this short and sweet; this is series hockey, postseason hockey. It is a different sport and despite how talented Toronto is they have failed to make it out of the first round of the playoffs in every appearance since 2004.

They have played out of their minds this series and have been the better team for a good amount of the time yet here they are in Game 7 once again as they failed to put Tampa away.

Guys. I know Toronto is good, great actually; they just still have not proven that they can get the job done and until they do they are a fade for me plain and simple.

They have not made it out of the first round in six consecutive postseason births and lost their last four Game 7s in a row. Tampa has played a lot of hockey over the last few years and I know that they are the less desperate team here by a mile but they are the back-to-back reigning Stanley Cup Champions; I would not be surprised if this is their best game of the series.
