Florida Panthers ML (+146)
Oddsmakers continue to show a bit of disrespect to the Florida Panthers. They were underdogs of around the same price in the first 2 games of the series, which were also in Toronto. All they did was pull off back-to-back upsets. Then, when the series shifted down to Florida, the Leafs were still favored in both games. That all came after the Panthers were able to defeat the Bruins in Game 5 and Game 7 to advance to this round. In other words, going on the road does not seem to affect this Florida squad.'
It makes sense, as their physical style of play travels. Much like they say defense travels in the NFL, beating up on the opposition seems to travel in the NHL. There's still no denying that the Leafs have incredible talent, but they're simply softer compared to the Panthers. Let's also not forget that if not for a rather lucky deflection off an official's knee for Toronto's first goal of the game, they struggled to score even just once in Game 4. They very well could have been eliminated Wednesday night, and Florida can now do so to spoil their return to Toronto.'
