Don Cherry Likes the Leafs
Season Record: 2 wins / 1 loss (here at POINTSPREADS.CA)
Don Cherry's NHL Pick for Wednesday:
Leafs vs Rangers – This is a really tough one to figure out. The New York Rangers are underdogs at home, where they have won 10 out of 15 games. The Toronto Maple Leafs are on a roll and appear to be firing on all cylinders. It seems when the Leafs’ offense stalls, Campbell comes up with a big game and when Campbell stumbles the Leafs pour in a ton of goals. It’s tempting to take the Rangers as a live underdog at home, but I have to take the Leafs straight up to win.
The Cherry Pick: Toronto -150 (moneyline)
Important Note: Our official Pick of the Day is NY Rangers at +130, so we split on this game and our opinions.
