My Quiet Night with a Big NHL Playoff Win

[PONS FERRATA _]

Well, last night was one of those moments you don’t really expect. I was just kicking back, watching Game 5 of the NHL playoffs—Leafs against the Bruins. I’d put a small bet on the Leafs to win in overtime, mostly because I had a gut feeling about Marner pulling through. The game was tight, and I wasn’t even thinking about the money, just enjoying the pace. Then, bam, 2:13 into OT, Marner snipes it, and the Leafs take it 3-2. Checked my account, and that little $20 bet turned into $150. Nothing crazy, but it felt good. Quiet night, cold beer, and a solid win. That’s the kind of playoff magic I live for.

Man, that’s a sweet win, but I’m kinda pissed. I was all set to chase my bets with the same vibe, using my shaving system to spread small stakes across OT outcomes. But my payment method got flagged—some dumb verification issue with my card. Screwed me out of jumping on the Leafs’ momentum. You ever deal with that crap mid-playoffs? Ruins the flow.
