#34. The Washington Capitals will defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2017 NHL Playoffs

The Bet: The Washington Capitals will defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2017 NHL Playoffs.

Given the absurdity of the bet Tippy has given Jimmy a 2 game cushion.
In other words Washington will have to win by at least 3 games (4-1)  for Tip to win.
A 4-2 outcome will mean a push (no one wins).
Anything else and Jimmy gets fatter.

Tippy: Yes
Jimmy: No
Wager: Breakfast
Date: April 13, 2017.

Results: It is a push.

While Washington did win the series 4-2, because of the 2 game cushion it is a tie.
