Drake Loses $1M as Leafs Suffer Game 7 Defeat

The Toronto Maple Leafs were eliminated from the playoffs after a 6-1 defeat to the Florida Panthers in Game 7, marking their seventh consecutive Game 7 loss. Rapper Drake lost over $1 million betting on the Leafs and humorously blamed Justin Bieber, who attended the game with his wife Hailey, for the defeat. Former Leafs player Carlo Colaiacovo publicly criticized Bieber's presence and outfit at the game, while fans reignited debates about celebrity superstitions influencing sports outcomes. Leafs captain Auston Matthews criticized his teammates for lacking engagement, while Bieber responded by expressing pride in the team's progress. The Maple Leafs now face a difficult offseason after another disappointing playoff exit. Drake's latest high-profile betting loss has further fueled his reputation for bringing bad luck to teams he supports.
