Boston Bruins vs Toronto Maple Leafs Series Preview
Josie's Take: Ugh, I don't even want to have to bet on this game. A Game 7 is Toronto's worst nightmare. It's worth noting that when coming off a win and heading to TD Garden, the Leafs are 1-7 SU. Personally, based off my inner vibes, I think Boston will win as history shows. But, "a feeling" isn't good enough for you to tail.
The last two Game 7s between these two hit the OVER, each being set at 5.5 like tonight. I know the last two meetings have been particularly low-scoring but with high stakes, I can see rookie Joseph Woll looking just a bit uneasy between the pipes.
Josie's Pick: OVER 5.5 (+105)
Check out my +527 three-leg parlay for tonight!
Michel's Take: I like Josie's take with the UNDER. These two sides have seen a Game 7 go OVER 5.5 goals twice now (three times if you count that day in 2013 when the Leafs were up 4-2 with 1:22 left). But, I'm going to make the contrarian play here.
This series is all about defense. The OVER has hit only once and that was in Game 1 after a 5-1 domination by the Bruins. Since then the UNDER has cashed four times and pushed once.
Go back through the last 10 playoffs (including this year), and Game 7's have gone 12-26 (32%) against the OVER.
When the game/series/season is on the line for both teams, things tighten up quicker than Paula Abdul's face after a fresh "contouring" procedure.
