1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: NHL Best bets for Wednesday, April first, and yes it's 2 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,039 April first, April Fools Day. 3 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 2: I've got nothing for you guys. 4 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,279 Speaker 1: I'm sure Carmine would potentially have a little dad joke 5 00:00:14,359 --> 00:00:16,399 for you to start the show off. I've got nothing 6 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,399 for you today, but just hoping for a great, great 7 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,679 day here for us on the show. And it's a 8 00:00:22,679 --> 00:00:25,519 small slate, but we're gonna try and find you guys 9 00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:28,559 some winners. Hope you guys all took advantage of the 10 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:33,439 Tuesday at wager talk dot com five dollars Tuesday, a 11 00:00:33,439 --> 00:00:37,439 handful of handicappers had hockey plays. It's also a full 12 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,479 baseball slate, as it usually is. 13 00:00:39,359 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 2: And it's gonna be a great, great day here. 14 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: Of course, I think we've got, you know, a couple 15 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,520 of good games we can find some angles on. But 16 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,759 we also have one game that I was saying to 17 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,840 Brian Leonard before the show, potentially the highest odds of 18 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,840 the season so far. Today's show just myself and Brian 19 00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,640 Leonard as a Carmine is mourning the loss of Italy yesterday. 20 00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:03,320 Could not believe it. We thought one team would take 21 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,920 a red card. Did not think that team would be Italy. 22 00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:09,840 They make it all the way to Peks and they 23 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,879 miss two of the first three shots. 24 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 2: Unbelievable. But Carm's got some stuff going on today. 25 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,359 Speaker 1: He'll be back tomorrow though, guys, in all seriousness, no 26 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:23,120 worries about that. Today's games Canucks, Avalanche, Blues, Kings and 27 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,959 Ducks taking on the Sharks. Before I bring Brian in, 28 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,560 I will just mention guys, I gotta do it ten 29 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,159 straight in the NHL. We did it ten straight and 30 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,799 number ten was plus one oh five. And I'll tell 31 00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:39,519 you what that was generous because some of you could 32 00:01:39,519 --> 00:01:43,319 have got plus one ten, plus one fifteen, ten straight 33 00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:48,000 winners on the Hurricanes team total over three and a 34 00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:51,159 half goals. Thank you all for joining me yesterday on 35 00:01:51,239 --> 00:01:54,040 a five dollars Tuesday. And we also have a great 36 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,719 deal going right now for the rest of the NHL year, 37 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,640 which you guys can join us on. But Brian, look, 38 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,599 we've got a we've got a day right now where 39 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,280 there's afternoon baseball. There's only a few hockey games. We'll 40 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,400 do our best to dive into these few games, and 41 00:02:08,439 --> 00:02:10,719 then we've got to get ready to you know, finish 42 00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:13,479 off and polish off our handicaps for the rest of 43 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:14,439 these baseball games. 44 00:02:14,439 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 2: Man, how are you. 45 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 3: I'm doing well. I've already put in my baseball work. 46 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,120 I've got two plays up for clients right now. I 47 00:02:21,159 --> 00:02:22,919 did the show earlier. If you want to go back 48 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,680 and look at total basis, we had a nice show there. 49 00:02:26,439 --> 00:02:29,199 We're all trying to cut back on the time here 50 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,199 into forty five minutes for less, and it takes a 51 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,680 while to get going. But only having three games here helps. 52 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,439 But yeah, I also it's all you always feel good 53 00:02:38,479 --> 00:02:40,960 when you win your two dollars excuse me, your Tuesday 54 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,319 five dollars play. We had Winnipeg yesterday at four percent 55 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,120 on Winnipeg. I had to go to overtime to do it. 56 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,599 I thought it was a better ship than that. But 57 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,560 we got the victory. And it's nice to cash coming 58 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,560 into the Wednesday card. 59 00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 2: It absolutely is. 60 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,719 Speaker 1: And as much as I always say that, it's you know, 61 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,360 it's easier to find a winner sometimes on the big sleeates. 62 00:02:59,439 --> 00:03:01,840 Sometimes when you put in that extra work, we can 63 00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:03,719 try and find something to do with. 64 00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: These big slates. 65 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,159 Speaker 1: So, without further ado, Brian, here we are minus four 66 00:03:09,479 --> 00:03:13,719 eighty one Colorado Avalanche and and if I pull up 67 00:03:13,759 --> 00:03:17,000 odds logic here, you just take a look at the number, 68 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,120 the opening number for this one. Like it's not saying 69 00:03:21,439 --> 00:03:26,000 it's disrespectful, because this is about as favorite to win 70 00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:28,919 the Stanley Cup and favorite to win the number one. 71 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 2: Overall pick as it goes. 72 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: But when I look at this number here, Brian, I 73 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,840 saw some spots even showing a bit higher than this 74 00:03:37,919 --> 00:03:41,800 at some points. But right now I see Circas at 75 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,080 four thirty five, so a bit lower than some spots. 76 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,280 You've got South Point is at four point fifty, and 77 00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:51,919 then of course you got fan Duel at four ninety, 78 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,439 DraftKings four seventy. The thing I find interesting and I 79 00:03:55,439 --> 00:03:57,520 want to pick your brain about these, Brian, You've been 80 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,360 doing this a long time, and just the betting space 81 00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:05,599 overall games like this with money line sports. I know 82 00:04:05,639 --> 00:04:08,360 a lot of it is about you know, maybe Parlay's 83 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,360 liability or. 84 00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:12,319 Speaker 2: Puck lines or all this stuff. 85 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,719 Speaker 1: But how can you explain some books being at four 86 00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:18,480 forty and some being at four seventy and some being 87 00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:21,800 at four ninety. Either way the books think the Avalanche 88 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,040 are going to get their butts kicked. 89 00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 3: Well, the problem you have, like very Vegas for example, 90 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,399 or they for the most part, they don't ban anybody. 91 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,720 They are always concerned about the wise guys. Are not 92 00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:38,480 going to be playing Colorado in this game. They'll be 93 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,560 playing the underdog Vancouver Canucks. And you know, if you 94 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,680 take a look at the recent history on the last 95 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,079 six games they played, Vancouver's won three of those, so 96 00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:50,319 they've played very well against Colorado. Problem is they're not 97 00:04:50,399 --> 00:04:53,399 very good right now. But a lot of the ones 98 00:04:53,639 --> 00:04:58,360 that pump up the numbers for the offshores, those are 99 00:04:58,399 --> 00:05:01,920 the places they ban who is really good at what 100 00:05:01,959 --> 00:05:03,720 they do, and they think you have an advantage. So 101 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,360 they can do that because I know they're not going 102 00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:07,160 to get any buy back from the wise guys because 103 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,720 they've they've kicked out all the wise guys. So the 104 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,560 general public is going to look at this and think 105 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,959 it's free money. And I've done this so long that 106 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,000 anytime it's free money, it's a loser. And I'm not 107 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,879 saying it's going to happen in this game. But every 108 00:05:22,959 --> 00:05:25,199 time I have tried to play like a three dollars 109 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,639 favorite in baseball or something to that effect, and I'm 110 00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:30,959 playing like four games and I figure, oh, that's the winner. 111 00:05:31,079 --> 00:05:32,879 That's the one that usually gives me the most trouble, 112 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,079 So that's why they get you're finding different lines here. 113 00:05:37,079 --> 00:05:41,079 But Colra or excuse me, Vancouver just played Vegas and 114 00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:43,680 Vegas had the new coaching change. I don't think Vegas 115 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,680 played any better in that game than they have been, 116 00:05:46,439 --> 00:05:49,079 but they had the advantage over Vancouver because Vancouver at 117 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,759 this point they have fifty points on the season. The 118 00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:54,959 next verse is sixty eight for the Chicago Blackhawks. The 119 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,079 season is over for Vancouver. If you're a player on Vancouver, 120 00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:01,319 you're just itching to get on vacation. It's been one 121 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,240 of those seasons that you just can't wait for it 122 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,720 to end. Colorado is right now eight points the head 123 00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:11,279 of Dallas, and they've got an additional two games to play, 124 00:06:11,319 --> 00:06:15,519 so they basically got first place in the West locked up. 125 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,160 So that is a concern if you're going to lay 126 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,040 a four to fifty favorite to have a team like 127 00:06:21,079 --> 00:06:24,079 that that has already locked it up and for the 128 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,399 most part, are in the position where they need to 129 00:06:26,439 --> 00:06:28,079 be in. So there's no way I can lay this 130 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,120 number with Colorado. The only advantage of watching the game 131 00:06:32,199 --> 00:06:35,480 is you get to see the Avalanche in Quebec Nordek jerseys, 132 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000 and when I was growing up in Cleveland, we didn't 133 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,079 have a hockey team. I rooted for Buffalo and I 134 00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:44,160 rooted for Quebec, and so it's nice to see those 135 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,920 jerseys coming back. Rather than that I have no interest 136 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:47,680 in betting this game. 137 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 2: Well, Brian, it kind of reminds me. 138 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people that bet the La 139 00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:57,240 Dodgers were always talking about how when you bet the 140 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,519 Dodgers that when they win, they win by two at least. 141 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 2: And I am like the farthest thing. 142 00:07:03,959 --> 00:07:07,319 Speaker 1: From a puck line better because, as you know, I 143 00:07:07,399 --> 00:07:11,160 love the team totals because you just worry about one team. 144 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,120 The problem is in this game, you're not gonna get 145 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,920 over three and a half. Over four and a half 146 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,759 is a bad price. You don't want to take over 147 00:07:17,839 --> 00:07:20,839 five and a half in a hockey game. So what's 148 00:07:20,879 --> 00:07:23,000 funny is that you look at the recent games for 149 00:07:23,079 --> 00:07:26,680 this Canucks team. You know, Vegas covers the puck line, 150 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,240 Calgary wins by four, the Kings win by four, The 151 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,839 Ducks cover the puck line, the Blues cover the puck line, 152 00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:37,800 the Lightning cover the puck line. You know, I don't 153 00:07:37,839 --> 00:07:40,040 want to bore you here because we've got baseball games 154 00:07:40,079 --> 00:07:43,040 to watch in two hours here. But the thing is 155 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,439 is that every single team is covering the puck line here. 156 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,040 I know this might sound a bit crazy to say, 157 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,199 but I've noticed the trend where a lot of the time, 158 00:07:54,639 --> 00:07:59,480 when you see a price as wild as this one, 159 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,040 it's almost as if it's a soccer match and you've 160 00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:05,040 got the best team in the world against one of 161 00:08:05,079 --> 00:08:08,079 the worst teams, and the worst team just parks the bus. 162 00:08:08,839 --> 00:08:12,199 It's almost like you don't want to get embarrassed. And 163 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,399 I'll tell you like, I've seen this even I cover 164 00:08:15,519 --> 00:08:17,480 some junior hockey quite a bit, not as much as 165 00:08:17,519 --> 00:08:21,040 I used to, but and in junior hockey, with the 166 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,560 way it works, especially after the trade deadline, there's a 167 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,759 huge separation from the top to the bottom. So you 168 00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:32,159 can see sometimes these bottom tier teams they're almost setting 169 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,799 up the good old fashioned New Jersey devil's trap, like 170 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,600 they're lining up four players on the blue line and 171 00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:41,720 they're saying almost like we don't want to embarrass ourselves. 172 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,440 So with that said, I can't believe I'm doing this, 173 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,039 but I would lean towards the under six and a half. 174 00:08:49,039 --> 00:08:52,440 In this game, you've got Colorado that's been picking their number. 175 00:08:52,759 --> 00:08:55,039 They've been putting up goals left and right. They just 176 00:08:55,080 --> 00:09:00,480 made Calgary look absolutely ridiculous. And you know that, Brian, 177 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,879 we talked about the public being on one side. There's 178 00:09:04,919 --> 00:09:09,720 going to be props, props, props and props on this game, 179 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,399 and everyone's going to have their goal scorers and their parlays. 180 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,559 And I actually hit a same game parlay on puck 181 00:09:15,639 --> 00:09:19,200 time the last time this team played Colorado. 182 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,519 Speaker 2: I don't think I want to do it today. 183 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: So I don't know if it's contrarian necessarily, but I 184 00:09:25,639 --> 00:09:28,360 think I'll take the under here. Let us know, guys 185 00:09:28,399 --> 00:09:30,879 in the comments section or our live shot, how you 186 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,519 play this game, because you know what we have seen 187 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,000 crazier things happen, Brian in the sport of the NHL. 188 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 3: Well, I do know that Colorado since March twentieth is 189 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:48,000 the highest scoring team in the NHL, so they are 190 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,879 playing very well offensively. Vancouver, as you mentioned, a team 191 00:09:53,919 --> 00:09:56,120 that might pack it in. What do you think about 192 00:09:56,519 --> 00:09:59,960 the first period? I would think Vancouver in the first period, 193 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,000 maybe the under in that maybe something to take a 194 00:10:04,039 --> 00:10:06,799 look at because if they do fall behind and they do, 195 00:10:07,039 --> 00:10:09,039 just kick it out and you know, just try to 196 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,799 limit the damage that as the game goes on and 197 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,360 Colorado's up, you know, maybe two three nothing, Uh, it 198 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,120 may be a hard time to get to that the 199 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,799 higher goal standard. So what do you think about the 200 00:10:21,799 --> 00:10:23,559 first period in this one? Playing it under. 201 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,519 Speaker 1: I agree with I like that, But again, I think 202 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,720 that I kind of see this game being one of 203 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,039 those ones where let's say Colorado goes up to nothing 204 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,039 in the first period. 205 00:10:36,519 --> 00:10:37,399 Speaker 2: It's one of those things. 206 00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:39,399 Speaker 1: I know it might sound funny, but I'm almost like 207 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,480 playing the angle of Vancouver just doesn't want to get 208 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:43,279 blown out here. 209 00:10:43,799 --> 00:10:44,639 Speaker 2: So we'll see. 210 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: But to your point, the best once the score is 211 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,080 zero zero at the start of the game, it's to 212 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,639 your point, they're going to try and keep it as 213 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,159 tight as they can. So I do like that point 214 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,799 because you can take the under one and a half 215 00:10:57,799 --> 00:11:02,200 in the first period. Hey, we might as sports better 216 00:11:02,279 --> 00:11:05,600 see minus four hundred. Vancouver doesn't know their minus. They're 217 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,120 they're they're big underdogs. They just know they're playing a 218 00:11:08,159 --> 00:11:10,759 hockey game tonight. So that actually could be a look. 219 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,879 That could be a look as well. I just think 220 00:11:12,919 --> 00:11:14,960 that when it becomes three to one or four to one, 221 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,440 I'm banking on. Like we had a comment here from 222 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,039 Rich saying five to one, and the funny thing is 223 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,600 five to one still hits my under, like Vancouver could 224 00:11:24,639 --> 00:11:28,159 still get so embarrassed, but the under could still win. 225 00:11:28,279 --> 00:11:31,440 So but we'll see what happens. I mean, you're talking 226 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,159 about a team that's given up at least four goals 227 00:11:34,279 --> 00:11:36,240 in five of their last six games. 228 00:11:36,639 --> 00:11:38,039 Speaker 2: It's just pretty embarrassing. 229 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,639 Speaker 1: Canucks have scored eleven goals in their last six games. 230 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,039 All loss is given up twenty nine. 231 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. 232 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: Pretty pretty tough there, Pretty tough there, Brian. We've talked 233 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,320 about it a lot on the show the past past 234 00:11:51,399 --> 00:11:52,080 couple of weeks. 235 00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:59,159 Speaker 2: Uh was of course with the with the NHL playoff race. 236 00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: But I'll tell hey, what this this Detroit team, I 237 00:12:03,039 --> 00:12:05,720 just I got to bring this up and hopefully we 238 00:12:05,759 --> 00:12:09,720 don't have Johnny Detroit just absolutely cutting off my feed 239 00:12:09,879 --> 00:12:12,480 right now. But I got to bring this up because 240 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,919 you know, we talk a lot in baseball about fall baseball, 241 00:12:16,039 --> 00:12:20,159 right Like I remember, you know I'm going apple picking 242 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,519 with my girlfriend and you know that's fall or autumn. 243 00:12:23,519 --> 00:12:25,799 We're depending whatever you call it and because it's your 244 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,320 apple picking. And the Blues had Blue Jays had that 245 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,840 big series against the Yankees, and that's when Kirk had 246 00:12:32,879 --> 00:12:34,799 the Grand Slam to win the series or they maybe 247 00:12:34,799 --> 00:12:37,440 swept the series, and it helps you punch your ticket 248 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,039 to the postseason, and so on and so forth. Well, 249 00:12:40,279 --> 00:12:44,200 you could do so well in October in hockey, November, December, January, 250 00:12:44,279 --> 00:12:45,639 but you got to do well in March. 251 00:12:45,879 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 2: March is equivalent of fall baseball. Right. Check this out, Brian. 252 00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:53,759 Speaker 1: This doesn't get any worse than this for the Detroit 253 00:12:53,799 --> 00:12:58,159 Red Wings, look at that graphic. In March twenty twenty three, 254 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,279 five nine and one, twenty four three nine and two, 255 00:13:02,519 --> 00:13:06,399 twenty twenty five, four and ten, and twenty twenty six 256 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,120 five seven and two. 257 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,879 Speaker 3: They've only won three games out of their last ten. 258 00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:18,960 Every other team in the East, including the Rangers and 259 00:13:19,039 --> 00:13:23,120 the Panthers and the Maple League are three teams with 260 00:13:23,159 --> 00:13:25,240 the worst record right now, have all had a better 261 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,519 record than that. So they're just a team that, you know, 262 00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:34,080 maybe maybe they're a good regular season team, but you know, sorry, Johnny, 263 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,399 I don't want to see the Red Wings in the playoffs. 264 00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:40,480 They they've clearly shown that they cannot win when the 265 00:13:40,519 --> 00:13:44,919 pressure's on. And despite the thirty nine and thirty five 266 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,080 record on the season, they've been outscored on the year. Yeah, 267 00:13:49,159 --> 00:13:50,840 the Red Wings are not a team that I want 268 00:13:50,879 --> 00:13:52,440 to see in the player. I'd rather see the Flyers, 269 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,679 and their flyers are playing with really good hockey right now, 270 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,440 and they got the same amount of points as Detroit does. 271 00:13:58,279 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 2: You're right, and they play the right way. They played defensively. 272 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: I just had to bring this up because you know, 273 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,039 and you know what's funny is that I crapped on 274 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,759 that team all year long, and then when it came 275 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,559 down to it, I said, I think they're going to 276 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:11,919 make the playoffs. 277 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:12,519 Speaker 2: And then they just did. 278 00:14:12,799 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: Because it's almost like when a team does you wrong 279 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,879 for so long, you might as well hop on their bandwagon. 280 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,519 And one of my friends said to me, Brian, he goes, Andrew, 281 00:14:21,679 --> 00:14:24,159 just wait for it. The fall off is coming. The 282 00:14:24,159 --> 00:14:27,639 fall off is coming, and then it finally came for 283 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,559 the Red Wings. You got a question coming at you here, 284 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:35,919 Brian about the Winnipeg Jets. You know, you catch a 285 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,440 ticket on them before somebody asking you if they're going 286 00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:41,720 to make the playoffs, and I'm just gonna pull up 287 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,440 their schedule here because you know. 288 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 2: This is a team that's not going away here. 289 00:14:47,679 --> 00:14:50,399 Speaker 3: Yep, there are one point behind the Preds right now. 290 00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:52,480 The Prebs are at seventy seven with the same amount 291 00:14:52,519 --> 00:14:55,120 of games. The King's right behind the seventy six, but 292 00:14:55,159 --> 00:14:58,320 they've got one more game to play, and San Jose's 293 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,159 right there for seventy five or two more games to play. 294 00:15:00,159 --> 00:15:03,919 But the Winnipeg Jets seventy six points, so they're one 295 00:15:03,919 --> 00:15:07,000 point behind it but the same amount of games as Nashville, 296 00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:10,639 and the Jets for a long time were one of 297 00:15:10,679 --> 00:15:13,480 those teams that were just highly outscored on the season. 298 00:15:14,279 --> 00:15:16,879 But they're only down fifteen on the season now and 299 00:15:16,879 --> 00:15:21,480 they've been able to play consistent on the ice home 300 00:15:21,519 --> 00:15:25,440 and the way, not blown anybody away. But you take 301 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,639 a look at Nashville on the road, they've got twenty 302 00:15:27,639 --> 00:15:30,080 two losses on the road this year and only fourteen wins. 303 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,279 That's the same as that's the same as Winnipeg. So yeah, 304 00:15:33,279 --> 00:15:35,639 the Winnipeg Jets right now, they had that one streak 305 00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:38,840 where obviously the goalie was out, and when you've gotten 306 00:15:38,799 --> 00:15:42,360 an elite goalie and he's out. They did not make 307 00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:46,200 any headway during that time. But since then they've been 308 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,080 right back there. And this is a team and we 309 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,600 talked about it all the time. We got certain teams 310 00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:53,120 that are really good in the regular season. Winnipeg has 311 00:15:53,159 --> 00:15:57,360 been one of those teams. Excuse me, Carolina is one 312 00:15:57,399 --> 00:15:59,440 of those teams. But when you get to the playoffs, 313 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:04,759 they struggle. They've been down this road before and it 314 00:16:04,759 --> 00:16:06,759 wouldn't surprise me if they make the playoffs. They're right 315 00:16:06,759 --> 00:16:08,759 in there. All these seems are so tight right now. 316 00:16:08,799 --> 00:16:11,799 You can go down to Saint Louis, which is like thirteenth, 317 00:16:12,279 --> 00:16:15,279 they're still in it. They're only four points behind. So 318 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,679 this is wide open right here in the West between 319 00:16:19,399 --> 00:16:22,639 They've got three three good teams out here. They've got Colorado, 320 00:16:22,679 --> 00:16:25,840 They've got Dallas and Minnesota. They can compete with anybody 321 00:16:25,879 --> 00:16:28,080 in the East, in fact that they may be better. 322 00:16:28,159 --> 00:16:30,440 At least Dallas and Colorado may be better than anybody 323 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,639 in the East. But in the West, the rest of 324 00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:37,679 the rest of the Western Conference is pretty block you know. 325 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,519 So yeah, they can sneak in there. 326 00:16:40,799 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, After the top couple teams, it's it's just up 327 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,080 to whoever wants it the most. In the last seven 328 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,879 or eight games, six or seven games, it's winding down. 329 00:16:48,919 --> 00:16:51,279 I believe April eighteenth, Brian, that might be the final 330 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,000 day here where we get the playoffs rolling those eighteen 331 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,639 twenty twenty twenty first around that time. So great question 332 00:16:57,679 --> 00:17:00,320 from Lorenzo. Great stuff and Brian. Of course he says 333 00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:03,960 number tenth like smash that like button. Guys, hit the 334 00:17:04,039 --> 00:17:06,079 like button. Shows some love to us here on Palk time. 335 00:17:06,519 --> 00:17:09,119 I think we've had a pretty good week on the 336 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,480 show for you guys. 337 00:17:10,519 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 2: I think so. 338 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 1: So let's try and keep making some money giving more 339 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,160 winners here. Okay, next game up, Brian. Here we have 340 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:22,359 Saint Louis. This team's well, they're getting some good goaltending, 341 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,440 but they're coming off a game where you know, they 342 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,680 gave up five goals and the rest advantage does not 343 00:17:27,759 --> 00:17:29,240 really work well for them in this one. 344 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 2: How do you feel about this game? 345 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,079 Speaker 3: Yeah, that lost to San Jose really hurt them, but 346 00:17:35,279 --> 00:17:38,960 I still like I still like the team. You're looking 347 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,519 at the Take a look at the Kings. The Kings 348 00:17:42,599 --> 00:17:45,039 right now and they're saying to seventy six points in 349 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,240 seventy three games, Saint Louis seventy three points and seventy 350 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,720 three games. You would have to think, based on being 351 00:17:51,759 --> 00:17:54,720 in thirteenth right now with just nine games to go. 352 00:17:55,799 --> 00:17:58,319 I hate to say must win games, but you'd have 353 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,160 to think if Saint Louis loses this game and they 354 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,799 don't get a point, this could be their season. So 355 00:18:03,839 --> 00:18:05,799 I expect a really good effort out of Saint Louis. 356 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,960 Ei there six and four in the last ten games, 357 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,559 whereas the Kings are three and seven. In fact, the 358 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,799 Kings right now are on a three and twelve run 359 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,160 at home. They've been really bad at home all year. 360 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:24,559 They're ten and twenty five at home this season. This 361 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,000 is a situation where I think there's some value here 362 00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:30,680 on the underdog. I prefer Saint Louis here, and I 363 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,720 think the price is pretty advantageous. They played the Kings 364 00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:37,319 twice this year, and I believe both games they lost 365 00:18:37,319 --> 00:18:40,319 in overtime, so they play them very tough. They were 366 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,920 right there for both those games. Now they were both 367 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,000 I believe in Saint Louis. So this one's on the road. 368 00:18:45,039 --> 00:18:47,079 But if you take a look at the Kings, the 369 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,839 Kings have been much better on the road than they've 370 00:18:48,839 --> 00:18:51,359 been at home. This is the one game I do 371 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,839 have some interest in. I may give it out to clients. 372 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,079 I do like Saint Louis in this contest. 373 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,079 Speaker 1: I think when you look at this game, like, well, 374 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,960 let me, I gotta go back to you with this, Brian, 375 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,559 how much do you think the price has to do 376 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,720 with the rest advantage? One team playing Saturday and one 377 00:19:08,759 --> 00:19:12,759 team playing on Monday. Does that factor in that much? 378 00:19:12,799 --> 00:19:14,359 I mean, this time you're in the NHL, it has 379 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,000 to right you would. 380 00:19:15,759 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 3: Think so a little bit. And I understand that. But 381 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,640 right now, when you're in the playoff hunt and you 382 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,359 can't take any days off, you're going to get you 383 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,440 would expect to get better efforts every time out, as 384 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,279 opposed to a team that's either locked it up or 385 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,880 is in really good shape, you know, like okay Onheim, 386 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,559 it's the next game on the schedule. They're pretty set 387 00:19:38,599 --> 00:19:41,039 when it comes to the playoffs. But San Jose is 388 00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:44,519 a team that needs to win. And as I said before, 389 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,039 just because you need to win doesn't mean you win. 390 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:52,039 So the rest of the rest situation means more in 391 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,440 games in which teams do not have to win every 392 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,559 game and that's the situation that we find Saint Louis 393 00:19:57,599 --> 00:19:59,640 and San Jose in at this point. 394 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,599 Speaker 1: Well, we got a comment talking about LA at home, 395 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,559 and I'll tell you what I was looking at it 396 00:20:05,559 --> 00:20:08,960 before the show. You just always find it really comical 397 00:20:09,039 --> 00:20:10,880 when a team is better on the road than they 398 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,200 are at home. And that's the case here this LA 399 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:19,920 Kings team on home ice minus twenty four goal differential, 400 00:20:21,079 --> 00:20:25,279 on the road a plus one goal differential. They have 401 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,119 given up one hundred and ten goals against at home 402 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,960 this season. They've scored just eighty six at home this season. 403 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,039 Hockey is literally designed to have home ice advantage for 404 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,680 teams because you get the last change. And I talk 405 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,200 so much about that when it comes to the playoffs, 406 00:20:45,759 --> 00:20:47,960 and I know, Brian, you've talked about it before. How 407 00:20:48,039 --> 00:20:51,039 in the playoffs we can get value on the road 408 00:20:51,079 --> 00:20:55,319 team because of that. And the funny thing is, I 409 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,119 feel like that goes into it as well. The books 410 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,640 are giving us value on the road team. And the 411 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,799 home team has been a bad home team all year. 412 00:21:04,799 --> 00:21:07,680 It's like, hey, guys, we're gonna give them a home price, 413 00:21:07,839 --> 00:21:11,720 but they have been awful at home. And I think 414 00:21:11,799 --> 00:21:15,480 Joel Hofer is confirmed. Joel Hofer has been unbelievable. I'll 415 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,240 pull up my numbers here, where is it. Let's take 416 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,039 a look at this. This is just unbelievable. Last three 417 00:21:22,079 --> 00:21:24,960 starts zero point nine to three to two. C percentage 418 00:21:25,519 --> 00:21:29,880 goals against per game one point six to seven. I mean, 419 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,519 you just can't argue this right now. And if I 420 00:21:32,559 --> 00:21:35,200 want to keep on the undertrain, that's probably the way 421 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,119 I would go. But the LA Kings give up so 422 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,440 many goals at home, we might as well just take 423 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,640 Saint Louis here, Brian. 424 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 2: So I'm on the same page as you are. 425 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's strange. You've got LA's in the second 426 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:51,839 of seven straight home games and they're not playing elite teams. 427 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,039 They play Saint Louis, they played Nashville, they played Toronto, 428 00:21:55,519 --> 00:22:00,000 Nashville again, Vancouver and the Ematon Oilers, who besides miss 429 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,079 one of their best players, have started to play pretty 430 00:22:02,079 --> 00:22:05,640 good hockey. But you would think that LA is in 431 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,319 great shape right now when it comes to the playoff positioning. 432 00:22:08,519 --> 00:22:11,000 And then they got to play Seattle, Vancouver and Calgary 433 00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:14,119 on the road, so the schedule points to LA having 434 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,559 a really easy time. But they've been so bad at home, 435 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,359 like the Rangers. Do you really want to lay them 436 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,240 as a favorite? I don't. I don't at this point. 437 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,319 I just don't trust the Kings at home, and in 438 00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:29,079 this situation with Saint Louis has at least shown a 439 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,079 lot of heart lately, and yeah, I prefer to Saint 440 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:32,880 Louis Sie. 441 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:34,319 Speaker 2: All right, Brian. 442 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: Obviously, the NHL season winding down, but the playoffs are long. 443 00:22:39,799 --> 00:22:43,079 When it comes to playoff hockey, of course, we got 444 00:22:43,079 --> 00:22:43,759 a great deal. 445 00:22:43,599 --> 00:22:44,559 Speaker 2: Going on right now. 446 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:49,279 Speaker 1: One ninety nine NHL Stanley Cup playoffs, rest of the 447 00:22:49,319 --> 00:22:53,920 regular season for free, no extra cost. The sooner you 448 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,440 buy it, the sooner you'll get more plays of the 449 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,880 regular season. But we all know this package is most 450 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,279 just for the playoffs. So, guys, Brian has been phenomenal, 451 00:23:04,319 --> 00:23:07,160 not just for this year but for years in the NHL. 452 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,799 I'm feeling pretty good as well on the way into 453 00:23:09,839 --> 00:23:12,799 the playoffs. Ten wins in a row in hockey for 454 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,079 me seeing the board pretty well one at ninety nine. 455 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,599 So you got five percent plays for thirty five bucks. 456 00:23:18,599 --> 00:23:21,160 You got series picks, you got future picks, you got 457 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,960 side totals, prop bets or whatever I would say Brian, 458 00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:28,400 this is a pretty good deal considering the playoffs these 459 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,000 days go all the way up until June. 460 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 2: It feels like, yeah, the playoffs. 461 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 3: I was just talking on the on the other show 462 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,400 of the Baseball Show, and we were talking about playoffs 463 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:43,400 in Tokyo. Brandon was asking me about it because he 464 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,400 doesn't handicap hockey, yeah, or really the NBA, and he says, 465 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,759 what do I What do I feel about the playoffs? 466 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:54,759 The playoffs are great in hockey and NBA. Number one 467 00:23:54,759 --> 00:23:56,599 in the NBA, you know who's going to play, but 468 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,720 number two, all the teams for the most part, every 469 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,799 teams makes the playoffs. And hockey is it's got a shot, 470 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,759 and we see it all the time. We see one 471 00:24:05,799 --> 00:24:07,960 of the teams that is an eighth cig knocking off 472 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,680 on one seed once in a while. You don't see 473 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,000 that very much in the NBA NBA. I like it 474 00:24:13,039 --> 00:24:16,000 because everybody plays when they're supposed to play hockey. You've 475 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,079 got live dogs in hockey all the time. And if 476 00:24:19,079 --> 00:24:21,880 you watch the games and you know how the game 477 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,960 played out, in fact, you take a look at we 478 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,720 use a lot the expected goals, the high danger chances, 479 00:24:27,759 --> 00:24:30,279 things like that. Just a team doesn't. Just because the 480 00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:32,599 team wins does not mean they were the better team 481 00:24:32,599 --> 00:24:34,960 in that game. And so that gives a lot of 482 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,480 people who only play the hockey playoffs because they's it's 483 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,559 what's on and they don't really follow hockey during the 484 00:24:41,559 --> 00:24:44,440 regular season. They will just see, well, who won last game. Oh, 485 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,000 they're the better team. Look at the record, they're the 486 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,279 better team. Hockey is one team. Every night you're gonna 487 00:24:50,279 --> 00:24:53,160 find a team that is a big underdog that can 488 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,440 upset somebody. And that's why I love the playoffs. 489 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,759 Speaker 1: It's just so nice to follow from a game to 490 00:24:58,839 --> 00:25:02,359 game basis. As you mentioned, you can learn something from 491 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,400 one game to the next and whether you want to 492 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,559 back the same team again or go against them. 493 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 2: One ninety nine. 494 00:25:07,759 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 1: Guys, WT dot buzz backslash bl or w buzz backslash 495 00:25:12,279 --> 00:25:16,279 a m looking forward to a great great run in 496 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,319 the NHL. Okay, one more game to get to here, Brian. 497 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,559 Then we can enjoy our afternoons, watch some baseball. 498 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:24,279 Speaker 2: You know what I like. 499 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: Wednesdays are probably my quietest day, just all the work 500 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,799 that I do, and if you get prepped up for 501 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,160 MLB in time, you can enjoy the games and then 502 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,880 I start prepping for NHL the next day, so it's 503 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,240 kind of nice to have some day baseball. So we 504 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,319 got to finish up the last game on the board 505 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,680 here and are you ready to talk once again about 506 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,960 the San Jose Sharks, because this team, they're not going away. 507 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,720 They're gonna end their season on a fun note. And 508 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,799 some of the work that I do with the Hockey News, 509 00:25:56,839 --> 00:25:59,160 we did a video and I just could not believe 510 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,880 this talking about maclin Celebrainy reaching the one hundred point 511 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:08,319 mark in his second season. I believe the next closest player, Brian, 512 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:14,400 on his team, he has fifty five points. That is 513 00:26:14,559 --> 00:26:16,400 incredible what this young man is doing. 514 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, we thought when Badard came out to Badard was 515 00:26:19,839 --> 00:26:21,319 going to be the team to be the guy that 516 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,240 would do it, and he's gone off to the slow set. 517 00:26:23,279 --> 00:26:29,240 Now he's not a lousy team, but San Jose. San 518 00:26:29,279 --> 00:26:31,440 Jose has been a lousy team, so he's been able 519 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,640 to pump him up. Yeah, you're getting them a slight underdog. 520 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,920 It's I've seen close to pick them in some places. 521 00:26:38,519 --> 00:26:40,759 And San Jose getting that win last time out that 522 00:26:40,839 --> 00:26:43,279 helped because they've lost some games that they really needed 523 00:26:43,319 --> 00:26:47,799 as of late. But very similar to the Kings. San 524 00:26:47,839 --> 00:26:52,359 Jose's in the middle of what three sixth straight home games. 525 00:26:52,599 --> 00:26:55,039 They win the first one, they play Anahon tonight, and 526 00:26:55,079 --> 00:26:58,759 they host Toronto tomorrow, and they play Nashville, Chicago and 527 00:26:58,799 --> 00:27:02,359 the Naton Oilers. So they've been better at home than 528 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,359 they've been on the road. But Anaheim has been much 529 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,160 better at home than they've been on the road. And 530 00:27:08,839 --> 00:27:10,599 I was talking to a guy the other day, I 531 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,079 was out and he's a basketball handicap wh doesn't really 532 00:27:13,079 --> 00:27:15,480 follow hockey very well. And I told him, I said, 533 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:16,920 what you need to do when you gets to the 534 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,519 hockey playoffs is get rid of all the overtime information. 535 00:27:21,079 --> 00:27:24,319 But three on threes, the shootouts. Look at the Anaheim 536 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:30,319 Ducks and shootouts eight no, look at San Jose in shootouts, 537 00:27:30,519 --> 00:27:33,839 two in one, shooting one on the season. So you 538 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,200 take away those six wins just from the shootouts, and 539 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:42,160 anaheimses looses. You know, twelve points puts him at seventy 540 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,279 five right now, and we're looking at San Jose. He's 541 00:27:44,279 --> 00:27:47,079 got seventy five. So why is San Jose the home 542 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,640 underdog here? If I'm playing I'm taking the home underdog 543 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,680 here in San Jose. Anaheim, as I pointed out, they're 544 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,880 at their at eighty seven points, they probably won't catch 545 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,519 Minnesota at ninety four. They are a couple ahead Edmonton, 546 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,279 so and you seven puts them in a good position. 547 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,799 And do games don't mean as much for Anaheim as 548 00:28:07,839 --> 00:28:11,680 they do for San Jose. And Anaheim's got a pretty 549 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,720 easy schedule going forward, so I happen to like the 550 00:28:15,319 --> 00:28:16,799 home the home team in this game. 551 00:28:19,039 --> 00:28:22,279 Speaker 1: It's interesting because for me, I look at that game 552 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,160 and I do think that Anaheim's going to be pissed 553 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,480 off with that game that they lost against Toronto. As 554 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,039 you know, I'm not a huge quotes skuy, but I 555 00:28:31,039 --> 00:28:32,920 will mention them every now and then when it means 556 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,759 something to me. And Leo Carlson forward for the Ducks, 557 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,599 he didn't even mean to come across cocky, I don't think, 558 00:28:39,599 --> 00:28:41,039 but he pretty much said like, hey, I think we 559 00:28:41,079 --> 00:28:43,920 should have beat this Leafs team by three goals and 560 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,200 they lost in overtime, and he said they should have 561 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,119 beat them by three goals, So they're a little bit frustrated. 562 00:28:50,839 --> 00:28:53,200 Goatch did get injured for them, so that could be 563 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,359 a little bit of a problem. The number is a 564 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,839 little bit interesting for me, And you know, the number 565 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,599 seems a little bit weird, the least the way I'm 566 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,319 looking at if if you look at it standings wise 567 00:29:04,519 --> 00:29:06,400 and then you ask yourself why we're getting a pick 568 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,920 them here. It's like, hey, this seems a bit weird 569 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,160 to me, probably enough to keep me off. But if 570 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,279 I were to play this one, I hit one yesterday 571 00:29:15,319 --> 00:29:17,200 on the show, Brian, I'll try and hit one again today. 572 00:29:17,359 --> 00:29:20,279 I like the first period over when pissed off. When 573 00:29:20,599 --> 00:29:24,480 teams are pissed off, I look for goals early unless 574 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,960 they give up, you know, seven or eight goals something ridiculous. 575 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,880 Maybe I'll look for an under But I think Anaheim's 576 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,240 version of being angry is coming out hot, and I 577 00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:35,519 would not be shocked between these two teams to see 578 00:29:35,559 --> 00:29:36,279 goals early on. 579 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,839 Speaker 3: Well, I did have Toronto. I guess Anaheim in their 580 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,519 last game is I think at one sixty five underdog, 581 00:29:42,599 --> 00:29:44,519 so I was very happy with the way they turned out. 582 00:29:45,039 --> 00:29:48,599 I will say that Anaheim in this month, they've won 583 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,839 four out of five on the road, so they are 584 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,880 probably better on the road than they had before. But 585 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,599 they did lose to Edmonton, a team that's in playoff 586 00:29:57,599 --> 00:29:59,680 connection right now, and they beat you know, Vancouver and 587 00:29:59,759 --> 00:30:03,480 cal So. But you know, when they were at home 588 00:30:03,559 --> 00:30:06,079 last time before they played Toronto, they were able to 589 00:30:06,119 --> 00:30:10,119 knock off Buffalo and Buffalo hasn't been the same team since, 590 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,559 so we'll have to see. But I I like this 591 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:18,039 Enhan team, but I just think with their schedule coming up, 592 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,279 that there's game more games that are more important to them. 593 00:30:21,319 --> 00:30:24,400 And as I say, they got Saint Louis, Calgary, Nashville 594 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,440 and San Jose at home, and Vancouver coming up or 595 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,039 after this game, those are the key games for them. 596 00:30:30,079 --> 00:30:32,440 If they went at home, they're in great shape. If 597 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,279 they split it home, they're in great shape. So San 598 00:30:35,319 --> 00:30:38,480 Jose is the team that needs this victory, and they're 599 00:30:38,559 --> 00:30:40,920 very much like Saint Louis. If they don't get this victory, 600 00:30:41,279 --> 00:30:44,000 season may be over for San Jose. Now, as I said, 601 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,880 just because you're in a must win situation doesn't mean 602 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,319 you're gonna win. Chances are if you're a must win situation, 603 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,079 he must not be very good. But there's a lot 604 00:30:53,079 --> 00:30:55,599 of teams out West that are just not very good right. 605 00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:00,119 Speaker 1: Now, and I'm very interested to see how they the 606 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,440 wild card teams do in the playoffs for the West, 607 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,440 because the wild card teams for the East, Boston Columbus, 608 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,240 whoever it is, they could do good, do well against 609 00:31:09,319 --> 00:31:14,279 Buffalo or Tampa or Caroline or hey, even my Montreal Canadians. Man, man, 610 00:31:14,319 --> 00:31:16,920 how about those halbs six in a row for the 611 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,519 Canadians eight and three their last eleven. I had to 612 00:31:19,519 --> 00:31:22,400 bring that up thirty one minutes in. Brian didn't bring 613 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:28,319 them up quite yet. But yeah, first period over for me. Maybe, maybe, 614 00:31:28,359 --> 00:31:31,279 just maybe I would be on the other side, but 615 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,039 I think the number is a little bit weird for me, 616 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,079 so it would keep me off. TJ says, good to 617 00:31:36,119 --> 00:31:38,720 know Wednesday is your light day after buying your all. 618 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 2: Access three day. I know you were with. 619 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,799 Speaker 1: Me the last two days, TJ, and it's my light 620 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,119 day as far as shows are concerned. 621 00:31:46,119 --> 00:31:49,279 Speaker 2: I'll be very clear when I say that Tuesday I 622 00:31:49,319 --> 00:31:50,279 had a show. 623 00:31:50,119 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: At nine am, at ten am, at eleven am, at 624 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,000 one pm, and. 625 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:55,799 Speaker 2: At two o'clock. 626 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: So it's just a lot lighter of a workload day 627 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,640 for me for shows is concerned, which probably is better 628 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,079 because it means more time for handicapping. Brian when we 629 00:32:06,119 --> 00:32:09,400 really think about it like that. So with that being said, 630 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,759 I am continuing to look at numbers. I'm a waiting 631 00:32:12,799 --> 00:32:16,759 goaltender confirmation. I am unsure if we are going for 632 00:32:16,799 --> 00:32:21,160 a winner number eleven tonight or not. I am involved 633 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,599 in baseball play. But Brian, look, we've talked a lot 634 00:32:24,599 --> 00:32:27,720 about this, and we're talking a lot about specials. And hey, 635 00:32:27,759 --> 00:32:30,039 if you guys watch the show and you don't buy 636 00:32:30,039 --> 00:32:33,240 the picks, you're not interested in all access packages. All 637 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,079 we ask of you is you hit the like button 638 00:32:35,119 --> 00:32:37,079 and you show some love and show some appreciation. 639 00:32:37,279 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 2: But if you are interested, I. 640 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: Won't speak for you, Brian, but I think the best 641 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,640 thing for people to do, especially this time of year, 642 00:32:45,519 --> 00:32:47,759 is to take advantage of this deal right here. Triple 643 00:32:47,759 --> 00:32:51,720 play All Access Baseball Pass, three days, forty nine dollars. 644 00:32:52,119 --> 00:32:55,559 Every single baseball play that we put out, they're going 645 00:32:55,599 --> 00:32:57,799 to get into one package. Nothing worse than you have 646 00:32:57,839 --> 00:33:01,079 a best bet up as well as two two plays. 647 00:33:01,559 --> 00:33:03,480 You go two and one, but you lose the big one. 648 00:33:03,519 --> 00:33:05,839 Everyone thinks you had a bad day. You want people 649 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,440 getting every single play you release, Yeah. 650 00:33:08,279 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 3: You definitely do. I've got two plays up in baseball 651 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,680 already may add more as the day goes on. This 652 00:33:14,759 --> 00:33:17,079 is this is a great deal. Three days for forty 653 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,279 nine dollars. I'm number one in the history of wager 654 00:33:19,359 --> 00:33:23,160 talking in MLB that profit as well as NHL and 655 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,160 that profit. I've been pretty consistent overall. But to be 656 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,279 honest with you, it seemed last few years, it seems 657 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,799 I over prepare for the baseball season and it takes 658 00:33:34,839 --> 00:33:37,279 me like a week or two to get going. I've 659 00:33:37,279 --> 00:33:39,759 gotten off to a slow start so far. I split yesterday, 660 00:33:40,279 --> 00:33:42,559 so but I really like the card. I'm not gonna 661 00:33:42,599 --> 00:33:44,160 throw away all the work I've done for the last 662 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,039 three months in baseball. But it's a good time to 663 00:33:47,119 --> 00:33:49,920 join in. If you join in for myself exactly, you 664 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,359 know nothing but nothing but the best of from this way. 665 00:33:53,799 --> 00:33:58,400 You missed, you missed out on some losers, but the 666 00:33:58,559 --> 00:34:01,119 history shows that I'll get you the money as the 667 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:01,799 season goes on. 668 00:34:02,559 --> 00:34:05,039 Speaker 1: Hey, that was probably the best time to jump in 669 00:34:05,119 --> 00:34:08,360 right now. Then you're just sharpening things up, that's for sure. 670 00:34:09,119 --> 00:34:12,920 Yesterday we did miss on the I'll tell you what. 671 00:34:13,039 --> 00:34:14,840 This is the reason why I love the first fives, Brian, 672 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,760 is because I talked about first five or full game 673 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,679 under with the raise game and first five did well. 674 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,039 Mclenahan played well in his first start back, and of 675 00:34:23,039 --> 00:34:25,360 course the game just goes off in the second half 676 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:25,800 of the game. 677 00:34:26,639 --> 00:34:28,800 Speaker 2: Had a free play with the Orioles game over. 678 00:34:29,159 --> 00:34:31,599 Speaker 1: But it was the first time of the year where 679 00:34:31,599 --> 00:34:34,480 I bet on my favorite team, and I don't do 680 00:34:34,599 --> 00:34:36,920 it often, but they're a pretty good team, the Blue Jays. 681 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,719 And I also broke a rule that I'm sure you 682 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,519 agree with me on this taking a run line for 683 00:34:42,559 --> 00:34:45,719 a team at home, and I did that and I 684 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,440 was so happy to see them put a few runs 685 00:34:47,519 --> 00:34:50,519 up in the seventh inning. So we hit on Monday, 686 00:34:50,519 --> 00:34:53,000 we hit on Tuesday, and we're hoping you back in 687 00:34:53,039 --> 00:34:56,440 action today. Two plays baseball so far. I'll let you 688 00:34:56,519 --> 00:34:59,239 guys know on Twitter if we get involved with any more. 689 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,960 No same game parlay for me today, no player props, 690 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,280 but I will mention this yesterday plus one forty five 691 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,239 Jason robertson power play points. So we hit a plus 692 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,599 four thirty parlay on Monday and on Tuesday a plus 693 00:35:12,599 --> 00:35:14,599 one forty five. I'm sure people will be complaining in 694 00:35:14,639 --> 00:35:17,559 Brian that it wasn't a plus four hundred yesterday, but 695 00:35:17,639 --> 00:35:20,239 you know that's exactly how it goes. That will do 696 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,159 it for puck time. We'll have Carmine back in action tomorrow. 697 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,440 He's kind of like trey Ya Savage. He was feeling 698 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,559 a little bit sore, so we had to get you know, 699 00:35:27,599 --> 00:35:30,920 get warmed up, go get some physio therapy going. He'll 700 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,039 be back in the lineup, back in the starters role, 701 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,719 hopefully asap. Thanks to Brian for being here, Thanks to 702 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,920 all of you guys for watching. We'll see you next time.
