Pick

I’m sticking with Toronto here. I’m just having a hard time trusting the Oilers right now as they find different ways to lose hockey games, as the goaltending can get kicked around and the offense shows up and vice versa the goaltending shows up but the offense doesn’t. Toronto has made some real moves to put themselves in a solid spot as we get closer to the playoffs and I just feel that Toronto finds a way to get it done on the road here. Give me the Leafs.
