Glass-is-half-full devotees might maintain the long-suffering Leafs fans deserve to see their team finally win a playoff series in person, which is the bright side of Toronto's OT loss in Game 4. Yet nothing has come easy in this series since Game One, with the last three games all requiring OT. Craig Berube, however, has been very pleased with Anthony Stolarz in goal in his first meaningful playoff experience, and Stolarz saved 57 of 61 shots in the first two games (both Leafs wins) at Scotiabank Arena. Toronto is also happy that John Tavares returned to the ice after taking a big hit in Game 4 and will be available in a potential close-out game tonight. Play Leafs on Puck Line
I usually play the moneyline in the postseason and this is a respectable -165 or so. Why not here? Ottawa is down 3-1 in the series, so if the Sens are down a goal with about five minutes left give or take, they might pull their goalie that early and the Leafs just pile on. If we push otherwise, fine. Purely as a hockey fan, I'd like to see Ottawa win here and in Game 6 to force a Game 7 simply to hear all the usual angst out of Toronto about another playoff flop ... but I believe the Leafs finish it off and rest up for most likely Florida. May have to consider making the drive over to Sunrise for a game.
