    Have the Maple Leafs given up completely?

    Still early but any initial thoughts on the Tuesday night match up with the Flames? Do the Leafs even care about making the playoffs? I have been in a slump but I think a big bet on the Leafs will reverse my fortune. What do you think the line will open at? Thanks.

    I don't trust them and won't bet them for the rest of the season.

    I don't know if the Leafs have given up completely, but I know the fans have. When they lost their 5th or 6th game of the skid was when I gave up on the playoffs... the team is in absolute shambles. They're trying obviously, just seems like a case of gripping the stick a little too hard, no bounces going our way, and the top players aren't playing like top players (Phaneuf, Clarkson, top lines gone cold, Kadri sucks sh*t). Absolute collapse of monumental proportions....

    I can see the Leafs opening around -130 for all the folk who believe they are "due" for a win. The value will most certainly be on the Calgary side, but ya gotta figure Toronto has to win one eventually, right?? Calgary is one of the winnable games we have left, and maybe we squeak one out on the Florida swing, but I wouldn't count on much more than a win or 2 with these last 6 games.

    BOL to you.

    This slump they are in has made me a lot of money betting the spread against them. i would not take them against the flames. although the Flames got blown out yesterday in OTT i think they will make the leafs work for a win tuesday. I would only bet against them for the rest of the season.

    You have to have talent to give up.
    So, no they haven't.

    Thanks for the input guys. If they lose against the Flames then lose to the Bruins that will be 10 in a row. Their last home game will be against the Jets two days later. Kessel, JVR and Gunnarson didn't practice due to soreness and Bernier might have a cold. Still going to bet Leafs.

    On the laughs. Beat the closer by 10 cents so that's nice. I hate them but I think they'll find a way to get 2 points.
