GDT: Just Win | Stanley Cup Playoffs - Round 1 - Game 7: Bolts @ Leafs | 7:00 p.m. EST | CBC, TNT

[SwollenGoat]

Exactly, isn't it funny that we are so used to so much going wrong for us in game 7's (choking, forgetting how to score, Phantom calls, no calls on opposition) even after a record breaking season, that we have no idea how to react if we win. I don't even know how to imagine us winning, it just seems like a fairy-tale that'll never come true.

And this is a season where one of our players is the best in the league and has potential for so much hardware (Rocket is locked, others are possible), even of our greats post-original 6 (Sittler, Vaive, Gilmour, Sundin) only Gilmour had one hardware (Selke in 93).

They are the best Leafs team I’ve witnessed in my 50+ years and this is why they will get that f***in monkey off their back tonight!!
GO LEAFS GO

No over passing just shoot the puck!

I just can't be calm and whatever happens, happens. I do NOT want the "they played well" mantra we're all preparing, to take the day. I want then to seize the day and take what is rightfully theirs. They've been the better team this series, had the better season, suffered the better of the bad luck in seasons prior, the lesser of the spoils for sure - and are the home team for the highest concentration of diehard hockey hopefuls in the world, for gawd's sake. f*** Tampa on principle. Like, all things principled. And may the 50\50 spirits finally respect all the things above about this series and fall on the righteous side, for once.

Best place to online bet sports bet?
Debating putting 250 on Tampa Bay tonight.
That way I’m either happy or 250 richer.

I put $1,000 on TB, but I hope I don't win. GLG

God just win please for the love of god.. and hopefully a non stressful way to win would be even better.

Is there really a non-stressful way? Even when they’re up three, four, five, six goals, I’m still shitting my pants. I have PTSD from watching this team the last six years. I just can’t watch tonight. I’ll be cheering them on from the sidelines. Good luck everyone. Hopefully the dragon is finally slayed.

I'm pretty pumped for this game. Been nervous the last few years, not tonight.

Having the boys over in my garage.

 

[GBLeaf]

As a Leafs fan for 62 years, I just want to get rid of my my current avatar !!! I put it up because of our constant 1st round futility, and vowed to leave it up till they won a playoff round. It's time !!!

Go Leafs Go !!!

Leafs now paying only $76 on $100... dropped from $80 on $100. What do the bookies know...?

I don't think the odds predict which team will win as much as they reflect the volume of bets placed on each side.

This just tells me that more bets are being placed on the Leafs than on the Bolts, probably due to the difference in size of their fanbases.

As far as i know, there's no real analysis of which team is better -- or for that matter is more likely to win -- that goes into this. I think it's just a reflection of the volume of bets placed on each outcome.

The odds multiplied by the volume of bets should pretty much offset each other -- leaving, of course, a significant margin for the house

F Chelios & the other ESPN clown for picking Tampa to win it 2nite

OMG... we just won!!!!! Yeeeeeeesssssss

 

[Apotheosis]

Honestly, now that I don't care as much, I can more calmly watch the game. They've lost so many of these that if they do again, it won't bother me. If they win, it'll be a pleasant surprise.

After game 6's heartbreaking loss, it made my care level for game 7 non-existent. So much so that I'll be missing my first Leafs playoff game in years and years. I love them, but I'm not gonna waste a Saturday night stressing over them. I'll watch the highlights if they win and be ready to watch round 2.

Deep in my heart though, I know how this story ends.

Hope every one enjoys the game though.

That’s the only way to watch this.

Good luck to everyone watching.

I feel sick to my stomach thinking about this game.
