Speaker 1: Happy Friday, guys. Welcome to pun time on wager Talk TV.
Looking forward to a good slate in the NHL. It's
a smaller one, but it's a pretty good one. We're
gonna look forward to hopefully cashing some tickets. I got
some props for you guys today. Carmines got you with
a little bit of a look ahead for Saturday slate
as usual, And yeah, carm We've got some plays in
some other leagues as well. I'm gonna surprise you guys
with so looking forward to a good show man. I'm
gonna surprise you with some plays. And I'm in a
good mood here today. You know, it's been a struggle
in the past couple of days here with hockey. But
make some bets this today and look towards good Saturday
slate and we'll see what we can do on the weekend,
try and turn things around.
Speaker 2: How is your night, man, night?
Speaker 3: Its social? The football game was absolutely insane hockey. I
picked up one win with that, the Sabers. The pod
play the Sabers Columbus. I took Columbus as a dog
against Minnesota. They were right in it until the third period.
Then they just a couple empty netters they allowed to
go with like six minutes left and then a couple
of empty netters. I really don't look at the empty netters.
It's what they did up until that point. Played well,
but Minnesota just keeps on playing even better. And anyone
who had the under in that game, I feel sorry
for them because those empty netters. Andrew will kill you
and guys in the chat. This is how I woke
up Andrew. Actually I didn't wake him up, but this
is how I greeted Andrew. Let me get the Andrew
You ready, there we go. Hold on a second, where's
my audio?
Speaker 4: Yes? That is the Buffalo Sabers.
Speaker 2: Sabers win, Sabers win.
Speaker 3: Favors and Sabers the Sabers Goldhorn.
Speaker 4: Four wins.
Speaker 3: Now for the Sabers after they swept away the Philadelphia Flyers,
the Broad Street Bullies.
Speaker 2: No more.
Speaker 4: The Leafs, the leafs low. Hey, that was fun.
Speaker 3: Savers are one point behind the Leaves. They're having a
total meltdown here in Toronto, guys. Let me tell you
they are melting here.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 3: It is unbelievable. Austin Matthews when they interview him, he
just he just looks like he doesn't care. I know
he does, I know like the players care, but there
is no heart right now in this team. We'll see
what they do on the weekend because they play in
Nashville on Saturday, and we'll discuss that a little later
on Andrew. But other than that, you know, I mean,
the football game absolutely nuts. I was on Seattle minus
one with my clients and that thing looked dead in
the water, but they somehow came back won that game.
And forty nine er fans, if there's any forty nine
er fans in our comments section, you have got to
be happy because that was the team you wanted to
win yesterday. Because if LA won, they played Atlanta and
Arizona to finish off their season, they end up with
the number one seed. If Seattle would have won and
they did win, they now have the number one seed,
but they need to win out to hold on to
the number one seed. And who do they play on
the final weekend of the NFL season. They go to
San fran to play the forty nine ers. So if
the forty nine ers win the next two weeks and
then win at home, they are the number one seed.
And Andrew, I'm holding a ticket from Circa. It's part
of a party ticket, you know, all, it's part of
a party ticket. So I'm not going to brag because
the other parts of it have to come in, one
of which is Colorado to win the Stanley Cup and
Brazil to win.
Speaker 4: The World Cup.
Speaker 3: So it was one of those ones where you put
one hundred to win, like seventy six thousand or whatever,
and I did it. So Andrew, I'll invite you down
to Vegas if it hits. So check that out, man,
check this out.
Speaker 1: We've got I just saw this tweet before the show
with Pierre Lebron and we've been talking at nauseum about
how close the league has been and how competitive it's
been this year, and honestly, the West has kind of
been better than the East as far as depth is concerned.
Speaker 2: Check this out.
Speaker 1: All sixteen teams in the Eastern Conference are five hundred
or better in points percentage this morning. Well, there are
seven teams in the Western Conference below that five hundred
points percentage mark. But flip side to that, in the West,
the elite teams are at the top, and those are
the elite of the elite, so it's almost like the
best teams in the league right now are in the
Western Conference, but overall they the competitiveness of one division
and one conference. It resides in the Eastern Conference. What
do you think about this right now? Man, it's so
cool to look at the fact that every single game
means something. Tampa Bay was in first place in the
Atlantic Division at the start of this week, car they're
barely in a playoff spot right now.
Speaker 2: It's crazy to look at it is crazy with.
Speaker 3: And this is this is what's going to make the
second half of the season that much better, is you know,
we're going to see some We're gonna obviously, we're going
to see some trades. Whether they happen in the next
few days before the freeze NHL trade freeze, or whether
it happens before the Olympics in February remains to be seen.
But we're going to see some moves, you know, Andrew.
When I look at the standings in the East, I
think of like, basically, there's five teams.
Speaker 4: That don't care.
Speaker 3: And by what by that, I mean don't care because
they know that they have enough talent on their team
that they're going to make the playoffs. They're not worried
about positioning. You know, I think Florida will We'll get there,
and they'll find a way of getting there. They're the
two time defending Standy Cup champions and they're winning some
games right now. Carolina is a beast. The Washington Capitals
are becoming the Capitals of last season at home. I
don't want to face them at home. I don't want
to bet against them at home. They they welcome the
Leafs last night and then like the fresh Prince of
bel Air when they throw jazz outside of the mansion.
That's what they did. They just tossed the Leafs out
of the mansion the last last night. So, uh, you know,
the Capitals are playing well. So you look at some
of these teams and you know, Tampa Bay they're going
to be there. It is you can you can pretty
much ring off about five teams that will be there
and then know that they can just make a move
or two to to basically give us some depth in
spots in which they might need it. And the rest
of the Eastern Conference are going to be scrambling for
those spots, be it the three seed in the in
the Atlantic or three seed in the Metro or one
of the two playoff wild card spots. So even the
Ottawa Senators Andrew are starting, they're a bet on team
right now.
Speaker 2: And we're going to talk about about yesterday we talked
about on the show.
Speaker 1: I said I was shot there minus one seventy five,
but I guess they are minus one seventy five for
a reason, right, four nothing win, four nothing win, And
look at the Metropolitan man like Carolina plus twenty one
goal differential, Washington plus twenty two goal differential. And I
know we've got some guys in here talking about who
was it? Tier twelve? Colzy says, please reformat the playoffs.
You know, the format does kind of suck, but when
you look at it, that's how you know it's so
important to either you know, make the top three in
your division or especially Carolina and Washington going to be
competing for that top spot. And then you know you
mentioned Florida, like Florida's the biggest factor here. I know
it's only you know, December nineteenth we're talking, but it
is so funny because everybody has Florida making the playoffs,
nobody's worried about them. Toronto is now minus one point
eighty to miss the playoffs. But the biggest thing about
all of this I keep saying is the Metropolitan Division
is more competitive here, Karlen, Like the rest of that
list below those teams New Jersey, Florida, New York, and Pittsburgh,
Ottawa only has thirty six points. It's like you mentioned
their a bet on team. Car I'm right there with you.
I think Ottawa was a team to definitely look at
moving forward.
Speaker 4: Andrew giving you credit. Man. Yesterday I said to you.
Speaker 3: When we were talking about the games yesterday and we
got to the Ottawa game, I said to you, Andrew,
make me understand why this line is that thing, and
and you talked about Ottawa and and that they're getting
better and that you know they're a bet on team.
So I gotta give you credit because I watched that game.
I looked at, you know, this morning, when I went
through like the power rankings and my data sheets and
I updated like a lot of the XG stuff. I'm like, Wow,
Ottawa played really well last night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so pretty good.
Speaker 4: So kudos to you.
Speaker 3: Man, I'm gonna give you credit on that one. I'm
not saying you turned around the the Ottawa Senators. I'm
saying you made me aware of it, all right, Sometimes
these things slipped through the holes. But with Gott said,
and we're like now nine minutes into the show, Carolina
at Florida, Carolina minus one thirty, I'm seeing one thirty threes,
one thirty fours is some spots, Florida plus one o
nine at home and Drew. The total sits here at six.
A lot your thoughts first before I talk about this one.
Speaker 1: Well, from a market perspective, I was a little bit shocked.
How often do we see Circa have a higher number
on a favorite than DraftKings and earlier in today I
saw a minus one thirty at Circa or one thirty
five at Circa, and I saw one thirty or one
twenty eight something along that line at DraftKings. Leading indicator
books are pointing towards the road team here in this one,
and it's hard to really argue it. Like carm you're
an ex g guy. You look at anything this Carolina
Hurricane team is doing, whether it's defensively or offensively, they
have just been unbelievable. I mean, their goals against has
been fantastic, their goal differential has been fantastic, their second
on the season and expected goals for, and you look
at expected goals against, they're the third best team and
expected goals against. So they're just so good, so consistent.
I know this Florida Panthers team is getting it together.
I know they're starting to score more. I know some
of their key players are picking it up. We just
talked about them. They're gonna have to be able to
win games without their key players, and I do understand that.
But when I look at this team coming off that
win against the La Kings, that was their first game
back at home after a couple game road trip there,
I see no reason why we can't make money once
again on the Carolina Hurricanes. This is a team that's
playing the right way. Typically I do like and favored
looking at them when they do play at home, karm
but in this spot, with all the metrics that I'm seeing,
I see no issue of looking towards them having success.
But I will say it's freaky Friday. I would not
be shocked to see an under in this game here.
Car I'm kind of a snoozefest. Past couple of days,
we've been seeing a lot of boring hockey games. We
really have been seeing a lot of lady. I don't
know if that's because teams are buckling down defensively, or
goaltending has been better, whatever it is, but I wouldn't
be shocked to see a really good defensive effort from
both teams in this one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Andrew, I look at this and these
two teams come are you know? They're both playing extremely
well right now. But the Canes, the Canes every once
in a while will throw in a clunker like they
did against San Jose Sharks at home where they lose
four to one. I think it was the second of
a back to back in that one, and then and
one in which they lost to the Leafs, And that
was at the cusp of where I said, I think
the Leafs are. They're playing well at the time, and
I thought Leaves are a good play on team at
the moment, and the Leafs won like three or four
games in a row, and now they're just they're hovering
around that a five hundred mark, as we call it.
Excuse me, but you know, I think the end game
for these two teams coming into this game is completely different.
Florida knows that they're going to make the playoffs, even
if they're on the outside looking in, and Carolina does
as well too. But Carolina has a point to prove
because you know, they get bounced by Florida last year
and what was the conference conference finals. They lose four
games to one in that series, Florida played extremely well.
Carolina has something to prove. Now you're going to prove
it against the Florida team that has some injuries. They're
still winning to have some injuries, but I think the
game has a little more importance to Carolina as far
as their psyche goes. Let's keep our win streak going.
Let's let's get a win under our belts against this
Florida team and prove that we can beat them and
beat them in the Sunshine State as well too. And
I think that's why they're at this number of one
thirty three, because why else would Florida be a dog
at home after coming back from a very good road
trip and then beating Tampa and then beating the La Kings,
who you know, we can we The Kings are a
pretty good road team, and they proved it. I think
again last night. I believe they beat Tampa Bay last night,
So you know, with that said, I think I think
the market is where it should be in this one,
in that one thirty range. I think Carolina has got
a very good chance of winning this game tonight, even
as a small, small favorite. And that is a small
favorite for Carolina given some of their lines over the
last two to three weeks, they've been much heavier than
that Carolina for me.
Speaker 1: Caring people in the chat are talking about, you know,
the history between these teams and if that really affects
our handicap here. I just think that this Hurricanes team
is going to be dialed in here. And again, I
still don't trust the consistency level of this Florida Panthers team.
I really don't. And looking at the past couple of
meetings between these two teams, I think we have seen
the Florida Panthers have success. But we've also seen the
Florida Panthers have success with Kachuk and the lineup, with
key defenseman in the lineup and with Barkov in the lineup.
When you're playing the elite teams like Carolina, you can't
be losing guys like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you can't. And uh I think, uh uh,
he's not. He's questionable for tonight, Evan Rodriguez. Uh, as
well tonight. But it's it, Andrew, I agree with you.
It's you mean like they went into Carolina, sorry, they
went into as well as Florida was playing. They went
into Colorado, who are an elite team, and they got
smashed six, six to two, you know what I mean.
Like you look at some of the games that they lost.
You know, they they lose to the Leafs, they lose
to the Calgary Flames, they lose to the Nashville Predators
before they hit the road and and and win on
that run, you know, they got a couple uh you know,
they played that game against Columbus, a team that could
not score, and they won that game seven to six
in ot So, Uh, it's been a good run for them.
But you also have to factor in some of the
teams that they lost to, you know, I mean, and
especially on home ice. You know, they dropped those games
to the US of the Flyers for the two on
home ice. They followed that up with a loss to
the Calgary Flames on home ice, and then the Leaves
on home ice as well too. Right, So this team
does lose games. They do lose games on the road.
Speaker 4: Or at home it is.
Speaker 3: They're going to get healthy at some point, but they're
winning games while they have. Well there, they've got these injuries.
Matthew Chuck is coming back. This team is going to
be healthy, no sick. These guys are going to come
back and make Florida a formidable second half team. Are
they worried about the first half of the season. I'm
sure they don't like losing, but they're they're not. They're
not tossing up the sos or shooting the flares and
the SOS signal going out. This team knows they're going
to make the playoffs. I would not bet against this
team making the playoffs and making another deep run as
well too. But as far as this game goes Andrew
for them, it's a game. I think the motivation is
on the visitors bench tonight and in that dressing room Carolina.
For me, I think is the right play.
Speaker 4: I'm right there with you. That's it.
Speaker 3: Speaking of teams that can seem to or the Winnipeg Jets,
they get Connor Hellibuck back and they're losing like one nothing,
one nothing games. I wanted to say one nil because
I've been doing my soccer research this morning. But this, Andrew,
I don't know why minus two fifty. I just don't
want to play this game is to fifty with Colorado.
It is like what if Hella Buck stands on his
head figuratively not literally and Winnipeg steals one. I don't know,
how do you play this game? How are you playing it?
Speaker 2: Hey?
Speaker 1: It is Friday. Anything can happen on a Friday in
the NHL. I always say that Karmen, it's a weird
day in the NHL. What I'm gonna say is that
I'm disappointed I haven't been on the avalanche en off
this season like Carmen. It's one of those things where
you know, I've admitted it on the show. I a
lot of times I'll try and pick a time when
a team is going to get out of a losing
streak right or when a team is going to around. Meanwhile,
you've got the people that have been taking Colorado puck
line all season, and those guys are just stacking tickets
like you look at when this team's had success. It's
been so good for them. But the end of the day,
I truly believe this here the only way that this
Jets team stands a chance in this game is by
playing defensive hockey. The only chance that they have is
by playing defensive hockey here in this one. And it's
not often, carm you can get a even money or
better price on a team to get under three and
a half goals. That's my move is here on the
Colorado Avalanche. I'm gonna do a little bit of a
plus one and a half on Winnipeg, a little bit
of an under three and a half goals for Colorado.
We're gonna spread it all around here a little bit,
and maybe we can do a sprinkle on the Winnipeg Jets.
This is a big test for this team because people
are calling them slow, people are saying that they're not
the same team they once were, and so we're gonna
find out here.
Speaker 2: But the one thing.
Speaker 1: I will say is that you've got two teams now
that are in a pretty good scheduling spot because they
both don't play on Saturday, they both play tonight, and
they both play on Sunday, and then their next games
after that not till like the next week, the next weekend.
I think this is a big spot for the Winnipeg Jets.
This is a big defensive game. I'm going under three
and a half goals for Colorado at plus one hundred,
so I'm hoping i'd tearn this game on and it's
like like one nothing, two to one, then just does
nothing all game three, two, and then it just like
I don't think we see a ton of action in
this game overall?
Speaker 2: What do you think?
Speaker 3: I think the only way, and I get where you're
coming from, I get the I think the only way
I would play this one if I had two is
I would probably take Colorado in regulation. I'm not gonna
lay to fifty on Colorado. They're just they're such a
tough beat at home. Andrew, They're fifteen home games, they
have yet to lose a game in regulation, thirteen wins
in regulation, two overtime losses, seventy one to thirty three
goal differential that to me is insane. Thirty plus thirty
eight plus thirty eight on home ice, twenty eight points,
tied with the Minnesota Wild as far as the best
home teams points wise. For this Colorado team, they're, like
I said, they're like minus one forty five in this spot.
Winnipeg's lost like four straight road games, and then even
if someone tries to hang their hat on. Well, okay,
well you've got wedgewooden goal tonight. You know the backup goalie.
This guy is fourteen one and four on the season,
two eleven goals against average, nine to twenty save percentage.
Believable right now because the team in front of them,
Colorado's playing the way they are because look at their
injury list, they have none. This is a team that
in the last couple of years, obviously you had the injuries,
the biggest one being Landeskog, but this team, fully healthy,
with everyone in the lineup, almost looks unbeatable.
Speaker 4: At this point. So with that said, for me Andrew,
I think.
Speaker 3: Logan O'Connor I think is the only guy I think
that shows up on the injury list. For me, it
is it's Colorado in regulation. If you played every single
Colorado regulation game at home this season, you're up money,
You're up a lot of units. So with that said,
Colorado in regulation minus one forty five.
Speaker 2: Wash Rinse repeater, I'm saying, I wish I had just.
Speaker 3: Talked myself into a client play. There you go, I
just talk myself into I already had three. Now I
think I have four.
Speaker 2: And you know what, Perlo.
Speaker 1: Perlo has a great point In Perlo, I forgot to
get back to you yesterday. I apologize DMS. But he says,
Hella buck over saves if you think ABS won't score much,
And it's true, if I think that Winnipeg's gonna have
a chance, then I probably like the hell of buck
saves props. So it's a pretty good shout there, Parlo.
I think it's a pretty good call, pretty good pol.
Speaker 4: It's a pearlo of wisdom, my friend.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 1: Jeffrey says backup goalies don't mean as much as they
once did. They're all professionals. That's like saying the Lakers
won't do well without Lebron. Well, I actually couldn't. I
agree with that because back in the day, back in
Carmine's day, when he was my age, you know, forty five.
Speaker 3: Years ago, but when the color TV was just invented.
Speaker 4: Yes, I get that's all right, but like.
Speaker 1: You know, the backup goalie used to play like what
fifteen games a year, Like you know what I mean,
Like there were some goalies that played like seventy games
a year. Now you've got like it's like a sixty
forty split with the percentage, so you need to have
a good backup. So it is a really good point
there with that, and yes, good point there by Antonio
jets Helly has great versus Colorado last three outings, so
we'll see what we can do. Gus be busting. What's up, gents,
Good to see you, Gus. All right, carm next one here,
we've got the Stars and the Ducks. Second half of
back to back for the Stars, but first game back
of a road trip for the Anaheim Ducks. I'll save
some time here on this one. If there's an over
I like on the board, this is the over that
I like. I know that Ottinger has been good, all right,
but I storty, excuse me. I know de Smith has
been good, but I still think Ottinger is the number
one guy. And with it being second half of back
to back, we are getting to Smith and I understand.
I understand you've got a great goalie with Lucas Dostell,
but I still think Dallas is a great offensive team.
Anaheim plays better at home. I could see action in
this one. I lean towards the home team here, even
though people are saying back to backs don't matter.
Speaker 2: And you know one thing, KRM.
Speaker 1: We always say, and I've been saying this all week
on the show, all year on the show, I'm more
likely to back a team on back to back if
they lost the first game. If they won the first game,
they might be taking that second game a bit lightly,
so Lean Ducks.
Speaker 2: But I do like some goals in this one. What
do you think.
Speaker 4: I think I'm with you on that one.
Speaker 3: I was going to talk about Casey the Smith, so
that's good. But I think in twelve starts, if you're
looking at totals and you're looking at six and a
half totals, in specific six and six, the games would
be to the over under, So split right down the middle.
With regards to that one, it is like the second
of a back to back, and you got Anaheim returning
home off a five game East Coast trip with a
lot of travel. They've been home for a couple of
days at the very least, ANDROID believe because I think
that bear with me one second here. I'm pretty sure
that that road trip for them ended on the was
it the fifteenth in Columbus?
Speaker 4: I believe.
Speaker 3: Should have been a little more prepared here. Yes, Oh sorry,
the eighth, Yeah, the sixteenth, so so they've had a
couple of days off after traveling back from Columbus, who
they play tomorrow as well too. I like the over
in that game a little bit more than I do
in this one, But I think Dallas is likely the
right side here, and i'ms a good team. They needed
that win badly in Columbus. I don't know, Andrew. It
is tough because we're seeing, you know, Joel Quimble's trying
to do everything he can to keep this team playing
well like they did earlier.
Speaker 4: In the season.
Speaker 3: But they come home off this road trip. Are they
going to be flat tonight? It wouldn't surprise me if
they were. And then the other thing is that the
Dallas Stars can make a lot of teams look flat.
Colorado can make a lot of teams look flat, as
does Carolina, So you never really know as far as
that goes. I would probably look at the first period
over more so than the than the full game over
because be one of those ones where you see the
goals early in this game and then it sort of
dies down after that with a total of six and
a half if Anaheim doesn't contribute. And Casey the Smith plays, well,
then we've got a problem. So Houston, we've got a problem.
Give me the first period over. I'm all over the place.
Speaker 4: We'm all over the place.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was Andrew. I. I went to UH I did.
Speaker 3: Wager talk a last call yesterday, and I gave out
Jack Zach Charbonnay some props with him in that game,
including the anytime touchdown. He scores anytime touchdown first TV
of the game, which was great, but he came up
about eight yards short and one sorry eight rushing yards
short and one rushing attempt short of making it a
three and oh night.
Speaker 4: And that one.
Speaker 3: But with my friends and they had the Raptors game on,
the Leaf's game on, they had the Montreal game on,
and then they had the full plug game on. And
the manager there at this place, this really big sports bar,
likes me because he put the audio on for the
football game, not the Leafs game or the Raptors game.
That doesn't happen going off to let me tell you
that much.
Speaker 2: I know you're the same as me. KRM.
Speaker 1: I'm a big audio guy. When I'm watching games, I
need to hear the commentary. When I'm at a bar,
and I hear the commentary, it makes it that much better.
It's just it gets you more into the game, gets
you more fired up. So, uh, Carl, I'm gonna tweet
out any props that I like later, but I've got
some plays for you, and this time I had plays
for you last week in the NC DOUBLEA Hockey, I've
got plays for you today in AHL AHL hockey. This
is gonna be the situational spot. And shout out Dave Cochin.
He love this spot here. This is a team coming
off a game where they fired their head coach. And yes,
this is applicable in the NC Double A, in the NA,
and the AHL in NBA, in NFL, whatever the league
might be. So, Carl, the Belleville Senators, that's the AHL
affiliate of course, of the Ottawa Senators. They fired their coach,
but they have not played a game since last Sunday.
Now they'll play a game here tonight against the Rochester Americans.
They're plus one thirty five underdogs. I like that number.
You can take a look at the plus one and
a half as well to make a little plus one
line if you'd like. And I also like the under
in the game. Overall, I think defense would be the
name of the game for this team. I think they
get the job done. The second play, I wanted to
mention Lee Valley Phantoms minus one thirty at home. Total
is five and a half here Bridgeport Islanders. Bridgeport's not
been playing very well. They've been conceding a ton of goals,
and I think the Phantoms are a spot to look at,
especially when they've been playing well at home. So we've
got two plays in the AHL for tonight the American
Hockey League. Every book should offer this for you guys.
The Belleville Senators plus one thirty five lean the plus
one and a half as well, but it's a more
sharp one seventy five one eighty, so you can make
that plus one line if you'd like. Carm You know
this angle works well in multiple sports. They fired their
coach on Sunday, They've had all week to practice. We'll
see if this team can show up after they got
rid of their coach with a new team and have
that little spark with them on a Friday night. But
we're mixing in some AHL guys.
Speaker 2: Let's do it.
Speaker 1: It's cash and tickets and we will have some World
Junior plays coming up as well on Boxing Day, and Karm,
I know you love that stuff as well. And man,
I'll tell you my favorite time to bet on props
is during the World Juniors. Believe it or not, I
love that stuff. So anyway, that's it for me. That's
all I've got. I'll have my every game on the
board video will be posted I think later tonight or
early tomorrow morning, talking about every single game on Saturday.
And I got a really good coupon code going up
for seven days of NHL as we try and bounce
back and get on a really good run here going
into Saturday.
Speaker 2: That's it for me, Karm. But you've got not one
but two segments coming up. Brothers.
Speaker 4: So and I want to talk Andrew.
Speaker 3: I like talking like the the I follow it the
university hockey in the in the US, but I don't
bet it.
Speaker 4: I do follow it.
Speaker 3: And I followed because one of my friends, his son
is a goalie at Trin University. Trin University. He had
a fantastic season last year. Kyle Cosma is his name,
Toronto Canadian goalie. But we need some Canadian goalies because
I think the manufacturing plant of goalies right now is
a lot of the good ones are coming out of
the US. We need some good Canadian goalies, and I'm
talking about that because the Olympics around the corner. But
he's having another good season with trin as well too,
so kudos to him in goal. I would love to see.
I joke around with my friend because he's the diehard
LEAs fan I like, and I hope your son goes
into the draft and gets drafted by the Sabers and
you're gonna have to buy a Sabers jersey. And he's like,
I will buy you one as well too, and we'll
go watch the games. So that said, let's do the
pod first and then I will do the six and sixty,
which will probably be like six and ninety, but what
the heck, We're gonna go right back to the first
game in the pod. For the pod play, I'm going
with the Carolina Hurricanes here. This team is playing extremely
well right now. They're minus one thirty in this spot.
I like them in this spot. As I mentioned, I
think this game means more to them, and it's hard
to say that when we're only halfway into the season,
but this team needs as well as they're playing right
now needs that confidence boost of going into Florida and
playing against the two time defending champions and beating them
on home ice, and I think this is a spot
where they can get it done. I'm gonna take the
Carolina Hurt games minus one thirty tonight as your pod play.
Let's see if we can get this total over seven
K with a win tonight.
Speaker 1: Keep it going, Calm, keep it going, man, you're building
the bankroll the kmiaks on the road minus one thirty.
All right, carm you have taken a look at the
Saturday slate, as have I looking forward to help time tomorrow.
It's gonna be a good one. But we got to
get you ready for a big slate. The six can
do with the six and sixty five, six and seventy five.
Speaker 2: What is it gonna be here? All right, let's hear it.
What do you have for us? KRM?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 3: Hold don I meant to turn my timer on and
I clicked on my calculator instead. God, I'm old. All right, Andrew,
here we go. The timer is set. All right, this
is your six and sixty four Saturday, Washington and Detroit.
We're going to take the capitals on the Monday nine.
Both teams are playing well, but the Caps are playing
super well at home right now, seven to one in
two their last ten. Ottawa and Chicago Ottawa money line
in this one, the Sands are a bet on team.
Chicago can't score any goals with Badard out of the lineup.
They've only scored four in their five goals in the
last four games. Nope, not Chicago for me. Give me Ottawa,
Florida and Saint Louis Florida in regulation.
Speaker 4: Hopefully.
Speaker 3: They're coming off of a loss on Friday Night to Carolina,
but the Blues injuries and lack of quality wins has
me on Florida in regulation, Nashville in Toronto. Pred's money
line is going to be plus money. Pred six and
four of their last ten, with losses to Carolina twice.
Colorado and Winnipeg least have lost four to their last six.
Anaheim and Columbus over six and a half. Ducks are
home off a five game East Coast trip on the
second of a back to back. They played Dallas on
Friday nights. Give me over six and a half. These
teams played to a four to three result on Tuesday.
San Jos and Seattle Sharks money line cracking er one
and ten their last eleven Seattle the Sharks the fourth
best record in at home in the West ten six
and three. That is your six and sixty.
Speaker 2: Not bad, not bad, six horrible, six and seventy four,
seventy four, yeah, six.
Speaker 3: At least I didn't do six and sixty seven like
or whatever it was last.
Speaker 1: Week day and man, the crack And I don't know
what the hell the deal is with those guys.
Speaker 2: But did you see that press conference the other day?
Speaker 1: The coach would only let one media member talk to
him the whole press conference. He won't really discuss the
game with anybody. This team is in shambles right now.
They're not looking good at all. They're not looking good,
and you.
Speaker 3: Look at it and it's becoming more apparent. I think
with like some of the teams that are falling, they're
falling by the wayside or regressionists set in that and
we anticipated it could be happening that those are the
ones that are going to be sellers. I think it
is a seller's market this year, especially because of what
is going on in the East in the West, because
you have such a separation of talent amongst the teams,
the top four or five are very good. They're gonna
be hard to beat in a seven game series. That
goes with you know, obviously Colorado, the Edmonton Oilers, as
long as that goaltending issue is resolved, the Dallas Stars,
who are playing phenomenal right now.
Speaker 4: Those you look at those three.
Speaker 3: The Minnesota Wild have entered the building with that with
whether he's a rental player or not, Quinn Use and
that goaltending that they have right now makes them in
a seven game series, make it makes them a scary
team to want to play. And then of course the
Vegas Golden Knights. You got five teams there that may
want to add a player here or there just to
improve the third line, the fourth line, and the depth
the team.
Speaker 4: That's why it's going to be.
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a seller's market in
the Eastern Conference. The teams like Pittsburgh, they're going to
be selling off. They have to be selling off. I'd
be really surprised. I get the whole Sydney Crosby thing
that he wants to finish his career with Pittsburgh. There's
no saying he can't. He's just going to be a
rental player with a playoff team next season. I'm not
sure about the Malclin thing. Maybe you guys in the chat,
what value does Malcolm bring. I'm not saying the guy
is a third line player, but he would look good
on one of these teams as a third line player
Wouldney Andrew.
Speaker 1: I think the only thing is Karen is that like
I feel like those guys don't want to stay. Maybe,
but like it's like, Okay, if you don't leave, I
won't leave.
Speaker 2: If you don't leave, I won't leave.
Speaker 1: And it's La Tang, It's Crosby, it's Malclin, and it's
kind of like they all feel like they have to
stick together a little bit.
Speaker 2: That's the issue. But I think malcn deserves it.
Speaker 1: I think my biggest stance has been, you know, Crosby,
if he didn't have three Stanley cups, he would already
be gone. That's how I look at it. If he
didn't have three Stanley Cups, he'd already be gone. But
it would suck to see him end his career karm
by missing the playoffs. How many years ago is it?
How many years in a row? Like this team is
just not competitive you know, and they did pretty well.
But at the end of the day, they're just Gus says,
please don't talk about this. Well, it's sad though, man,
because some Pittsburgh I think that honestly, though some Pittsburgh
fans and season ticket holders, I honestly don't think they
would blame him, like the true fans. I don't think
they should blame him if that they if they did,
but I think he's too classy. Then he worries about
how people would probably perceive that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, listen, it's a new NHL, unfortunately, with a
bad playoff format that they have. I used to love
the one Andrew the one versus eight or sorry even
the overall one versus sixteen to versus fifteen. Well, like
the way travel is right now, you could easily have
that format in there, but they don't want, you know,
a setup where you have the number one team Colorado
having to go cross country and play a team like
hypothetically the Toronto may Beliefs who finished in the sixteenth
seed and playing them in the first round of playoffs
travel back and forth.
Speaker 4: So I get it.
Speaker 3: You want to keep the East in the east and
the West and the West but it's still such a
terrible format. I just think the Eastern Conference teams and
ones like Pittsburgh. You can move players, but it's gonna
there's gonna be a lot of dead It's got to
go to teams with a lot of dead cap space
that can give up a prospect for your Pittsburgh isn't
sending Sidney Crosby to just anybody. Kyle Dubis isn't going
to send them just anybody and not get anything in return,
knowing that Sid's going to come back anyways. He's just
a rental player. He's going to come back. They're going
to want some prospects. That's how you rebuild a team.
In doing that, you look at different sports, Andrew, and
you mentioned it. Sidney Crosby three standy cups already. He
wants to be in the playoffs again before his career
is over. This would be the perfect year for that
to happen, because Pittsburgh even next year is not going
to make the playoffs just because of that cap space
issue that they have. Players eventually need to take care
of themselves. And I will reference someone who I mean
as a Bills fan, Andrew, I've never liked the New
England Patriots. But Tom Brady for the longest time, the
guy's a goat. He made New England what they are,
winning those super Bowls. But every year Craft convinced them
to take less money to rebuild it, to keep the
team elite, and towards the end of Brady's career there
he's like, you know, I'm getting paid minimal compared to
some of the other quarterbacks and we're not improving the team.
Speaker 4: He was gonna get killed.
Speaker 3: At some point, he leaves contracts over, goes to Tampa
Bay and wins another Super Bowl. Great on him. Look
after yourselves.
Speaker 4: This is the.
Speaker 3: Point I think I'm trying to make. It took me
a while to get there, but that's the point I'm
trying to make. We're gonna be talking about some great
deals and this could be one of those ones. Andrew
that over the next month we talk about some really
good ones and then on actual trade deadline day, it's dead.
There's nothing going on because the big moves got made.
Kind of like remember the rants and in one last
season as well too, a lot of the moves were
made early on. Anything to add before we close up
the show and let people know what we have up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that because of the condensed schedule and
because of how everything works, and I think that it's
gonna be another year where the trade deadline is not
bea very exciting. I think there's gonna be a lot
of trades that happened super super early on, super super
early on. So look forward to seeing what ends up
happening and where guys go. But Caren, we need to
wait more time for some of these bad teams to
get worse. Yeah, once they start to get worse and
start tanking, then we'll be good to go to start
seeing some trades. But as I mentioned, I've got plays
for NFL this Sunday and Player prop World. I've got
some HL and NHL plays for tonight. And that's it
for me, Karen. What's going on for you this weekend?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 3: We'll start with today. No soccer today. This has been
like a kind of a dead week for soccer with
no Champions League and not a lot It's been cup
week in all the domestic leagues. But man, I have
four plays on Saturday, Andrew and now are gonna be
uploading them right after the show. For soccer, it's gonna
be a huge weekend. I hope three plays up in
the NHL tonight, even though it's a small card. I
really like this card tonight, and hockey will go up
shortly as well to two bowl games, one of the
college football playoff games that are going today. Three and
oh start to the college bowl season. Let's keep that
run going. They have some great deals over at wager
Talk to get, like the three day all Access, or
you can get the what's the football one called Andrew
the Ironman can't remember. There's a promo all the college
the Weekend Warrior, all the college football games, all the
NFL games, and then if you just want NFL, here's
a coupon for you for Sunday Sunday ten. Sunday and
then number ten have a four pack up which includes
three four percent plays and one five percent play in
the NFL on Sunday. You can knock that thirty nine
down to twenty nine with Sunday ten. That's it for me, man,
Andrew close it out next week, guys, only two shows
Monday and Tuesday, but I will because there's no games
on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. I will be recording a six
and sixty on Friday because we'll have a full slate
of games on the Saturday.
Speaker 4: But that's it for me man.
Speaker 1: Shout out to all the live chat, Shout out to
all you guys that tune in after the show. We
appreciate all of you guys, and shout out to Karen.
