There are few NHL betting online commodities more overblown than the Leafs, who are an impressive wannabe powerhouse in pro hockey.

Irritating Sense of Entitlement – There are few squads and fan bases with a more ridiculous and over blown sense of significance than the Leafs. The culture is one that puts outsiders off as it’s sold as the second coming of the New York Yankees, for a team that hasn’t come close to winning a Stanley Cup since their 1967 championship. Toronto, where their condescending fanatics continue to expect Stanley Cups and be played for fools by a management team that is focused only on the bottom line, is an example of a team that has achieved so little yet has so much made over it.

Red Ink for Gamblers – Not only have odds makers foolish enough to wager on the Toronto Maple Leafs been burned badly through the years, their mind numbed kool aid drinking fanatics blowing money on a losing product each year. Last year Toronto posted a NHL betting record of 30-38-10-4 to rank as one of the biggest money losers on the sportsbook. As they ranked 26th in scoring and 29th in goals versus, the Toronto Maple Leafs were horrible on both ends of the ice.

An Intimidating Process – General Manager and President Brian Burke is one of the few credible items that Leaf fanatics can hang on too. Burke was the mastermind of the 2007 Stanley Cup Champion Anaheim Ducks and understands how to build a champion from scratch. Burke is deemed a top shelf executive that will make the Toronto Maple Leafs tougher and more physical this year by odds makers at the online sports book. Burke sought out and acquired Kris Versteeg from Chicago and signed free agents Colby Armstrong as well as Mike Brown to bulk up his soft squad.

The type of competitor that Burke loves is a brawler, and Brown is a brawler from Anaheim. He’ll offer Toronto a much needed tough house presence that will hopefully spark teammates to crash the corners more.

Phaneuf Factor – Dion Phaneuf was disgusted with his team mate’s softness last year and demanded that Burke make the Toronto Maple Leafs more like the Ducks. Toronto has long had the NHL betting online reputation for being the softest team in the league, but Phaneuf is modifying that perception and will hit teammates in practice.

Toronto’s forward lineup is a NHL online sports wagering liability and until scoring production improves they’re a bad wager.
