Speaker 1: Kings versus Blue Jackets, Bruins versus Rangers, Islanders versus Flyers,
and no, you are not on the wrong show. This
is puck Time. Welcome everyone. I had to make an
emergency here Andrew calm throughout his back, poor guy, you
throughout his back shoveling snow. So I am jumping in
here at the very last second. Thank you everybody for
joining us. Hope everyone is safe out there. We're gonna
break down some games, and of course we're gonna do
some same game parlays. So I am Andy from wager Talk.
Surely you guys know who I am, but being joined
as always by Andrew McGinnis. What's up, Rich, what's up Titans?
What's up Nebraska? What's up Slug? What's up Pocket? Thanks
guys for joining us live Andrew, you and I are
in complete opposite scenarios with the weather. Everything missed you
and I think it got sent to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone's posting these pictures right now. And it's funny
because when you're younger, you're like praying for you know,
a lot of snow, and you know not to have
to do anything. But I was kind of excited to
look out my window and be like, well, it looks
the same as it did yesterday. It looks pretty much
the exact same, although the roads don't seem that great.
But I don't really plan on driving too much right now,
so we'll stay warm and we'll try and.
Speaker 3: Keep it going andy. But how was your weekend? Man,
Good to see you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, we're all safe. We got way more
They said four inches eight inches at most, and we
got a foot so they overshot it. But like I
was telling you, what's the difference between eight and twelve
inches of yeah snow, like screw way exact way that much. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
we're kind. It's very cold. But I will tell you this,
I am a lunatic. There's two things that I love doing,
and I just stacking firewood and shoveling snow. I just love.
I am weirdly in hog Heaven. When I'm done with
shows today, I'm going outside just shovel snow, just just
for the heck of it, because I love it. So.
But let's break down some games here, Andrew. We'll start
with the Kings in the Blue Jock. Not a huge
slate today, but we do have some games on here. Money,
I had to tell you. I was listening to this
random podcast and they did this segment what's the most like,
like what's the most meaningless sports franchise, Like what's the
most irrelevant? And they settled on the Blue Jackets, and
I was like, it's a pretty good case. But we
got Columbus here. It's it's kind of a straight pick
them here. You got the odds here minus won eighteen
kings minus one or two over under a very vanilla six.
What do you make of this game?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny because I've heard they actually have a
pretty good fan base the Blue Jackets, like when the
team's playing all right, But yeah, I saw that segment
like it was and then it caught on to multiple
podcasts just taking shots out of nowhere the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Speaker 3: They're just like, hey, we're catching some strays. I don't
know what we did to deserve this, but yeah, no,
look at this game.
Speaker 2: I think that this is a different color mbu's Blue
Jackets team right now that we're seeing that we saw
in the early parts of the season. You know, Andy,
we hear about, you know, the coaches bump that we've
seen at general manager's bump. We've seen, you know, maybe
a new signing bump, and this has been the biggest
epitome of a coach's bump. Like just looking at this
Columbus Blue Jackets team since they picked up Rick Bonus
and Dean Evson, he was kind of shocked that he
got let go. He didn't really feel like it was
the coaching stuff and he was a little bit surprised
by it. But I mean, this team overall, they go
ahead and beat the Mammoth, they beat the Flames, they
beat the Canucks, the Penguins, the Stars, the Lightning. I mean,
this team is putting up numbers against everybody that they face.
And did my every game on the Board video on
Friday for the Saturday Slate, thought it was kind of
a tricky number, kind of a weird, fishy line for Columbus.
They were such short, short dogs there and they end
up getting the job done. But I'm shocked they put
up eight against the Tampa Bay Lightning, And so overall,
when I look at this game right now, the biggest
thing that sticks out to me is the offensive production.
Like I understand that LA in the last two games
they put up nine goals combined, but I don't trust
their offensive production on a day in, day out basis
the same way I trust Columbus's offensive production, and that
to me makes it the biggest thing. Darcy Kemper has
kind of cooled down a little bit in goal for
the La Kings. I'm gonna ride the hot hint. I'm
gonna take the team that's playing extremely well right now.
I'm gonna teat the Columbus Blue Jackets. And who knows
how long this coaches bump is gonna last for, but
for whatever reason, this team is just playing much much
better right now. And you know, it's one of those
things where it's a high octane offense facing a team
that just has levels of inconsistencies with their offense, and
I simply trust the Columbus Blue Jackets a lot more.
And you know, looking at some of these advanced metrics
that I like to use, especially in goal, it seems
like we're really starting to see some regression for Darcy
Kemper and for the entire goaltending core of the LA
King So, you know, it's always a bad thing when
a team was barely winning, as it is when their
goaltender was playing extremely well, and then now you got
the goalie having a little bit of regression. It's it's
not much of a good sign. So Andy, one thing
you always said with props is like, hey, look, you
want to get in early, you don't want to get
in late. But at the end of the day, like
you know, the street can be broken, but at the
end of the day, I'm not I'm not I'm not
afraid to keep keep on going with it. This team
fired their coach, and since they fired their coach, they
have looked like a whole new team.
Speaker 3: It's been fantastic to watch.
Speaker 1: It's it's either it's either one way or the other
in hockey. Like like in hockey, they fire the coach,
they either just take off like a like bandits and
it's like a whole new team and it's like wait
what it's the same personnel, what happened? Or they just
completely completely just fall apart and there's no there's no momentum,
there's no energy. So yeah, the firing of the coach
in hockey to me is just like it It gets
the most violent reaction one way or the other than
any other sport. I'll give you a prop. Marchenko over
two and a half shots on goal. This is fourteen
and six to the over. He's getting a lot of
shot attempts, and the Kings give up twenty plus to
forwards and centers. They're much better against defenders, but get
those forwards and centers against against the Kings. So we
have Bruins in Rangers. This should be a pretty pretty
good game here. Bruins, I mean, my gosh, they just
they keep plugging away here minus one twenty two. I'm
pretty surprised at the price here. I mean, this is
a Rangers team. I mean, let's face it, they've they've
been ice cold recently. Here is this just I don't
know a why isn't this minus one fifty.
Speaker 2: I'm scared to talk about the Boston Bruins because they
just beat my Monshaw Camadians over the weekend.
Speaker 3: I'm not happy about it.
Speaker 2: My haves led the entire game and then the Bruins
get one goal. Immediately after that they get a power
play and they win. But you're right, Andy, it's a
weird price. It's a weird number here, you know, minus
one fifteen. Slight slight movement towards this Bruins team throughout
the day, but not too much so far, people still
seem to have faith in this New York Rangers team.
And Andy, I'm not sure if you saw this, but
I find it pretty funny. So, like about seven or
eight years ago, the general manager of the New York
Rangers sent out a letter to the fans talking about
how they're gonna do some retooling and a rebuild. And
they made one Conference Finals appearance since then, and then
just like a month ago, they wrote like this really
nice letter again to the fans saying like, hey, looks
like we're gonna have to do it again.
Speaker 3: And I was just laughing about it.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm like, really, what is this team done
to deserve like their manager and owner even putting out
these letters. It just didn't really make any sense to me.
You know, it'd be one thing if like the Florida Panthers,
they just won two Cups and then they you know,
cooled off a bit and they're like, hey, guys, you know,
hope you enjoyed the success. We're gonna we're gonna cool
it off now, but you know they're gonna write a
letter to the fans.
Speaker 3: I just thought that was hilarious. From from the owner
Chris Drewy.
Speaker 2: But you know, I've been talking a lot about this
where you look at the road home splits Andy with
this Rangers team, and you just can't really make it up.
Like I'm looking at stat mus right now, the road
home splits at home. Gold differential is minus thirty three
minus thirty three for this New York Rangers team at
home or excuse me, on the road plus eight. So like,
this team hates their fans, they hate they hate playing
at Madison Square Garden. I don't know what it is
with them here, but overall, I'm looking towards the under
in this one, and we saw it open five and
a half, we've seed six. Is now, I like a
low scoring battle here. You know, this Bruins team, they've
got Geeky, they've got Pastornak, some other guys that have
been stepping up. But I just think at the very
least this Rangers team, even in some games at home
they've struggled. They've been getting some better defensive efforts, and
at this point, Andy, if they're playing at home, they
better hope to win a one nothing game, because you know,
they just have been struggling so much. I think the
real emphasis for them and the key is going to
be defensive hockey. It's not been great for them so far,
but I understand the Bruins are rolling, but I do
lean towards the total in this one. Here, any prop
for you, anything that stood out to you, any guys
that are on streaks here, I'll tell you what. I've
really gotten into the the goalie save market. And I
haven't been betting as props as much as I used to,
but on the show, I'm throwing a couple out each
day for streaks and same game parlays, and I've been
kind of marketing marking the goalie saved ones and Swayman
is a good one to look for for the Boston Bruins.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've done some. I've done some saves. I'm looking
at the goalie of the teams that just don't allow
a lot of shots and the goalie he's at the
top that allow a ton or just take the goalie
playing Colorado for his saves because they just fire a
ton there. Yeah you know, Okay, Yeah, I do have
a I do have a prop where it's this falls
in the category of you're going to be like, why,
of course we should have played that one poster not
to have an assist a minus one twenty five. He
has six assists the last four games and the last
time he played the Rangers. Did you know how any
assists he had?
Speaker 3: I don't six? What in one that beat down that
was the beatdown game. I completely forgot about that, honestly,
So I just like, you know the.
Speaker 1: Rate, Like you said, the Rangers are giving up a
ton of goals, especially at home, and I feel like
he's going to have an assist. We're going to be
like that was the easiest prop on the board, right, Well,
of course Posto was going to have an assist in
this in this game. He had six against them last time,
so uh yeah, that's the one that I that that
I kind of settled on. So, uh what, what's been
your strategy some of these goalie saves.
Speaker 2: Yeah, similar to what you said, Like I used to
pretty much only bet overs with it, but now I'm
looking at unders as well for some of these teams
that just like Brandon Bussy, the goalie for the Carolina Hurricanes,
and some of these top notch defensive teams, you can
look towards the unders because they're just not giving up
that many shots. But yeah, the same thing. I mean,
I looked at it yesterday and I'm actually not sure
what ended up happening with it, but I looked at
taking Joseph wooll over because he was playing against the
Avalanche and the Avalanche had lost three to the last four,
which is shocking to say, or maybe it was even
four to the last five. But yeah, there's sometimes gonna
be just these high octane offenses.
Speaker 3: You know that teams are gonna get overwhelmed.
Speaker 2: With the crappy thing is, though, if you take a
save prop to the over and then the score ends
up being something like five to four, you're pretty cooked,
like you're also you're kind of betting also on the under,
like it can hit. But I feel like you're for
the most part looking towards that as a whole. And
you know, one thing that you said there with your
your passion ac prop, I really like it because I
feel like people don't have him as a playmaker. Everybody
thinks of him with the shot props or the goal props.
That people are underestimating his playmaking ability. And I feel
like across all sports, you can kind of look at,
you know, certain guys in certain positions, like it's I
know this might be an exaggeration, but it's even like
when you and I on the NFL Prop Show would
look at a running backs receiving yards like it's kind
of like looking at what someone's known for and doing
it a different way. Like I like that with Passion
Act because nobody's really like saying, Okay, he's gonna have
an awesome assist today.
Speaker 3: People want that guy to score goals.
Speaker 1: Right, did you see the secondary assist from WHOA amazing
the way he's actually the guy and then the other
guy passed it for the goal. Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 3: Nobody cares about the assists.
Speaker 1: Nobody cares out that one though. Uh well, we're gonna
do our same game parlay of course coming up. I'm
actually gonna do a same game parlay in this one.
So but i'm i'm I'm, I'm on the side of
I'm on the side of Raven here can't do the ragers.
They still absolute trash. So yeah, uh purlosa is Yeah,
save props have been really good this year, so hidden market,
hid market. There's been a couple of guys that have
been good in the block shots market as well. Yeah,
just riding some of those, those those I probably will
be playing in playoffs. Guys sell out a lot more
to block. You're a lot more motivated to block a
shot in the playoffs than you are on a Monday
in the regular season. We'll just say that like you're
willing to lay out your body a little bit more.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 1: Oh, we move on, Yeah, absolutely, we move on to
Let's see, do we talk Islanders Flyers? We think talk
Islanders Flyers?
Speaker 3: Islanders?
Speaker 1: We got the Flyers. Yeah, Islanders they've won. There we go.
Flyers have won two out of their last three after
losing six straight. Islanders. Holy cow, they get their breaks
beaten off the last two games combined score of nine
to one. The Islanders turn it around. Here are the
Flyers starting to pick up a little momentum.
Speaker 2: I mean, I can feel bad for the Islanders for
that last game, but the Sabers are the tottest team
in hockey. I don't know what's going on here. Carmine
talked like they were actually going to be a good
team eventually, and then they won ten games in a row,
and all of a sudden, they're actually a pretty good team.
I don't think anybody really saw that coming, you know,
this This this flags as kind of a snoozefest to me,
like at least it would have back in the day
looking at some of these It all the metrics that
I look at low event grinded out both teams overall
struggling to create high dangerous chances right now, defensive structure
right now, Sorocan's got elite form in his last handful
of games. Every everything in this game points towards an
under for me, and once again a five and a
half opener now seeing it as a six here with
this one. But one thing about this Philadelphia team at home,
they have some of the best centermen in the league
as far as defensive hockey, and there's a real reason
why they play more lower scoring games at home and
for people to forget at home. If you're at home,
you get the last change, You get to dictate all
the matchups that you choose, and that makes such a
world of a difference getting the matchups of your choice.
So if this game was on the road, maybe I
wouldn't even like the under, But the fact that it's
at home for the Flyers, I do lean that way,
And especially because the New York Islanders got their asses
kicked the way they did, you kind of look towards that.
The only thing that worries me. It's that quote unquote
system play Andy, that pretty much every single hockey handicapper
has been looking at, which is, you know, betting the
first period over or betting on the team coming off
a shutout. It's just that sense of urgency, that embarrassment feeling.
We've just seen these teams coming off games in which
they were shut out have a ton of success. We
saw it with Pittsburgh the other day, so that could
be something worth looking at for us here. But at
the end of the day, they've not been looking great
as of late. I mean, losing to the Flames, don't
really respect that, losing to the crack and I don't
respect that. Against the Sabers, I'll give them a little
bit of respect for that, but overall I do lean
towards the under. But I'm a little bit nervous with
that system as far as the first period over. If
I was playing it, I would probably just play first
period money line on that Islanders side, but overall I
probably will look towards the under. Just that when something
has been so profitable, Andy, you almost like don't want
to go away from it, so like either taking the
side that just got shut out or taking the first
period over that just got shut out. But what's your
take on that. I mean, like we always say, there's
eighty two games these guys play. I know that for
a fact, there's definitely some games that mean more to others.
And nobody likes to be embarrassed. So maybe after losing
five nothing, you care a bit more the next game.
Speaker 1: It's always tough, yeah, I mean it's it's always tough
to thread the needle between oh, these guys are slumping
or wait a minute, these guys are professional athletes playing
for contract and you know that in pride. I don't
know if I have the right answer. I think it's
a lot of there's a lot of eye tests with that,
like like how how are they losing? Like are they
is there no effort whatsoever? Or is it just like
they caught a couple of hot teams as a coach
lost the locker room. There's a lot of just kind
of watching it and saying, oh, these guys are not motivated.
So it's it's kind of like the the when the
team when when the owner does a letter to the
fans and you're like, well, what exactly does this mean?
I don't know, Andrew. I'm trying to think of the
last really good letter to the fans that was like.
Speaker 3: Helps anything, but that actually didn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that helped anything? Remember the one Dan Gilbert said
after Lebron left like one of the most disastrous, like
dumb looking things ever. So I don't know letter of
the fans. You would have try and keep in contact
with the fans, but I feel like it's a swing
in the miss I don't know. I think you got
to watch the I think you got to watch the
body language of the team and figure out if they're
if the body language is telling me they're gonna slump. So, yeah,
what do you have up for everyone today on Monday?
Speaker 2: Just one best bet in the NHL. We'll see if
anything gets that. It's still waiting for a little bit
of goaltender information. But uh, look there there's always those
times where you're like, I wish I released just one
more play or you know that one hit and you
know I could have done more. But the end of
the day, low volume has always been what's best for me.
Whenever you know, I regret not releasing a play that
would have won. It's better than me releasing three or
four that had the potential of slipping. And we had
a five percent on Friday in the NHL, we had
a five percent on Sunday in the NFL, and then
it was a one in one day in the NHL
on Saturday. So we're cruising with low volume but feeling
pretty good.
Speaker 3: Right now.
Speaker 2: It's an eight and three run in the NHL, so
not too bad, but very separated. So one four percent
best bet. We'll see if anything else gets added, but yeah,
looking forward to keeping things going andy.
Speaker 3: What about yourself?
Speaker 1: One four NBA best bet. That's been a sport. It's
been really good to us. Eight and three run. But
again we always say this like don't just get one play,
like take advantage of these specials. And they're still running
the seven days for the price of three, which is
a complete no brainer. If you guys haven't followed my sports,
I do a lot of different sports. So over the
next seven days, there's going to be a five percent
UFC best bet as included. You're gonna get my NBA props,
you're gonna get any any NHL, you're gonna get any
golf plays that I have, any tennis plays, really good
run in the Australian Open, ten and four for plus
twelve units in that sport. So for me, if you
haven't tried me out, seven days for the price of
three is just an absolute no brainer. You get to
read all the analysis, get to see what comes with
the plays and what sports. We can take advantage of
five straight cricket winners, Andrew, and that's kind of a
nice hidden underground thing that we've been cashing on big.
So a lot of good things going on over at
wager Talk, But don't just don't buy one play.
Speaker 2: I saw that comment from Seth and wager Talk today
when I was watching, and you were like, oh, I'm
so sorry a winner had to take twenty four hours
to cash for you with the Cricket League, and you're like,
it's really too bad to hit a winner that took
so long.
Speaker 1: We get, yeah, we get complaints because like the plays
are like over, you know they're over in Bangladesh, in
Australia and everything, so it's like, yeah, you get a
play and you know it doesn't start that minute, it
starts at like three m next day. And yes, we've
actually gotten some complaints on winning plays because it took
place twenty hours after they had expected it too. So
one of the things that I will never understand about
this business is complaining about wins, which happens more often
than you guys would think. Crazy enough, So all right,
let's go to Let's do the same game parlay. Do
you have one for today?
Speaker 3: It's just loading. If you have one, Andy, you can
go first. If you'd like, sure, I'll go.
Speaker 1: I'll go to the Bruins and the Rangers. I will
take the Bruins minus one and a half. Give me
that puck line, and I'll parlay that with Geeky to
have a point and I get plus three hundred. Rangers
in their last seven losses, six have been by two
or more, including their last three home games, and Geeky's
playing really well five points in the last three games,
so nice little three to one. I'm trying to keep
my same game parlay legs to two these days. So
just give me the Bruins puck line and geek you'd
have a point, get you three to one.
Speaker 2: I've been pretty much just doing yeah, the point combos,
like just two players in the same line.
Speaker 3: I bolted to get a point.
Speaker 2: I talked to you about it like years ago that
that's just what I had success with, and when I've
gone away from.
Speaker 3: It, it's been a little bit tough.
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you there's nothing more frustrating my same
game parlay segment on the show. I've realized that, and
I hope you hit your puck line because I lean
that way too. And with how disastrous the Rangers have
been at home, screw them. But like, there's nothing worse
than like I'll try and get a little silly on
the show and I'm like, all right, we're gonna do
a couple legs and then I'm gonna toss on the side.
And now it's I think two or three in a
row in which I have hit the props, but then
the side was wrong. So then I'm like, all right,
I got to just ditch the side here and just
worry about the props. But I want to tell people,
and I'm sure you agree with me on this, Andy
again for everybody here with this with this segment, because
there's some times where I'm gonna just run through who's
hot who's not. That's usually for the bigger slates today
I don't really have a list for you guys with that,
but play them into visually if I'm giving you a
same game parlay with some good odds on it. You know,
the one we had on Friday, I believe we went
three for four or something like that, but we had
a goal scoring prop on that that was plus two hundred,
you know, so you guys could easily see that goal
scorer and and take that as it is, and you know,
you could have catched a plus two hundred there, and
you catch this shots on goal prop as it is.
So anyway, I thought I would bring that up just
because I know people are gonna say, like, oh you
you you missed your your four for four, like I
can't believe you didn't hit that, But you know, to me,
it's it's more so about just the individual individual props.
Speaker 3: All right. So I've got once in the exact same
game as you. Andy. We didn't plan on this, but.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, it's kind of funny because it's the game
that I mentioned the over on or the under on.
Speaker 3: But now we.
Speaker 2: I here it is. We'll bring it up right now,
all right. So we've got Ruins. Rangers are Temmy paneren
to get one point, point, lind Holm to get one point,
and Charlie McAvoy to get one point shut out to
AI because somehow McAvoy plays on the Rangers right now
with that, but linn Holm has a point in five
straight games against the Rangers. McAvoy has a point in
four straight against the Rangers.
Speaker 3: Uh. And we have seen overall Panarin's numbers and.
Speaker 2: His utilization just increase so much since that letter was
put out, Like the letters put out, Hey, we we're
gonna tank, We're not gonna do very well. And then
they they literally said in the letter Andy, we're probably
not gonna sign our Timmy Panaaren back so he's gonna
be moved with the trade deadline. And then this guy's
got like a goal in like four of his last
five and he's doing well.
Speaker 1: So audition time, babe, Like yeah, audition time.
Speaker 2: He's literally trying out for another team right now while
he's playing for the Rangers, is what it seems like?
Speaker 1: What absolutely contract year? Why not you have to So I.
Speaker 3: Gotta ask you what wait to think about UFC on
the weekend.
Speaker 2: I know it's a hockey show, but h M, I
know Karen doesn't watch UFC, so I don't get to
talk about it with him. I'll tell you this, like
I am such a fan and I still do sprinkle
bets down on it. But it's always around the comine,
and it started a bit earlier because of paramount, but
I always started to get a little bit tired when
the comine's about to start, and then after the main event,
I'm like wide awake, like my heart is beating, like
my blood's pumping, like I can't go to sleep.
Speaker 3: After that it was electrifying.
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna be very low volume moving forward.
We hit our five percent play and then lost the others.
There's gonna be a lot of volatility with There's a
lot of things happening. There were two fights in particular
where the narrative of what does the UFC want to
have happen, it happened. And what happened was two people
that I thought clearly lost their fights. They ended up
getting the Julu Winds, and that was a Natalia Silva
and Sean O'Malley. Now I had a bet on Italia Silva,
so I was very happy. I live bet song you Dong.
I thought he clearly beat O'Malley, and but it was
the narrative, what does UFC want. They want Sean O'Malley,
they want Italia Solva, they don't want Song you Dong
moving up the rankings, and they don't want Rose Who's
been there, done that. So uh, I'm gonna be saying
there's a lot more value on the undercard than the
main card. Patty Pimblet not trying to wrestle and grapple
at all. Yeah, it was was strange. Derreck lewis claiming
he's in the best shape of his life and then
he showed up in the worst shape I've ever seen
him in.
Speaker 3: And laying down the ground.
Speaker 1: Just yeah, fell apart. So I think there's gonna be
some real volatility at the top of these cards. So
betting wise, where will I be putting my money. It'll
be on the undercards and there there will there will
be good, good spots this weekend. I just did my article,
so I'm pretty pretty happy.
Speaker 2: So exully, Yeah, make sure you guys are reading those articles.
And Andy does a video as well, breaking down every
single fight, So great stuff there. And uh, I'm going
back in the mix with with UFC picks. But uh,
like you said, like I am not going to be
doing a ton at all. You know, back when I
was doing UFC picks, like it was, it was one
to three max. And now you might see me like
it'd be a big weekend for me to have you know,
two and unless unless the card just overwhelms me.
Speaker 3: What I just love so much.
Speaker 2: But I mean to your point, like it all cash
is the same, Like if you have a pre limb
fight as your four percent best bet, or you have
the main event. The only difference is is that the
general public is going to be like, what's that bet?
I need a bet for the main event. But yeah,
the Patty pulltmitt one. First of all, I gotta say this,
what an entertaining that guy that is, Like he is
that intro. I got tired just watching him dance around
in the octagon before the fight started. But yeah, I
was surprised he didn't shoot some more there. But I
gotta say, gay chee, he's tuck to his game plan
for the most part. Like he was very very you know, pressured,
like he pressured him NonStop up against the fence. And
I think do you think that Patty almost had like
too much respect for him like he wasn't himself enough
because of who he was fighting.
Speaker 1: Nah, he just get he didn't. He took the path
of most resistance and trying to get in a striking
match with a striker. And his face is now his
face is now taken damage that just won't fully recover.
That was a five round, you know. I mean his
face at the end, it's forever changed. It may not
look it, but the damage to the tissue into some
of the bone structure, it's just been weakened. It's just
gonna be weakened for the rest of his crew. I
thought it was silly. That was stupid.
Speaker 2: So the scal he doesn't get knocked out though at
least at least he proved that he doesn't get knocked out.
It would have been better for him to get knocked out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wonderful, just took five rounds of an asshole. So.
Uh someone said something about Geeky being a little bit
uh cold recently. Yeah, he started off the year like Gangbusters,
you know, went through a little bit of slump. But
I see him kind of hit and has stride two
points in his last two points in his last game,
two points game for that one before that. So he's
got a point in four out of last five, so
maybe he's hitting his hit his stride there a little bit.
Speaker 2: So one thing I'll say, and before we had out,
is just you know, we've got that that that shot
clock right now that is ticking before the Olympic break
for some of these teams. So you guys are gonna
want to you guys want to gonna want to pick
a team to back or pick a team to fade
and and and try and follow some of these. And
also there's gonna be certain teams that have players that
are completely rested. Like when we were talked about Columbus
Blue Jackets, I don't think they have any Olympians on
that team.
Speaker 3: Maybe one.
Speaker 2: So you look at across some of these teams that
don't have many Olympians. Like, as a Canadians fan, I'm
happy that Hudson and Coffield didn't make the Olympics. I'm
shocked that the Americans didn't take the two highest goal
scorers that are American this year. That didn't really make
much sense to me. But I'm happy that Coffield is rested.
So that's important, guys, because it's it's not the All
Star break this year, but it's the Olympic break, so
be careful with your wagers kind of leading up to it,
as we say that, some guys might lose focus, but
also some teams are going to continue to roll. So
looking forward to the next week and a half, Andy
and I will be doing some Olympic picks, and I
wanted to actually announce that I'm going to be brought
on with the Hockeynews dot com as their lead host
with the Olympics.
Speaker 3: For digital guys. Very very excited.
Speaker 2: I'm going to be reporting with guys that are live
in Italy during the games, so you guys can feel
them as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, looking forward, Congratulations, Thank you.
Speaker 1: Bury the lead on that one. Andrew lead the show
with that.
Speaker 2: I figured out to end the show with that.
Speaker 1: Oh man, Andrew, what are you buying? Sell teams leading
in the break? Any thoughts.
Speaker 2: I'm looking to sell Nashville probably. I mean they had
a little bit of a spurt. They started to play
a lot better, score some goals, but I still don't
really trust.
Speaker 3: Them very much. Teams.
Speaker 2: I think Anaheim gets back on track. I think they
start playing a little bit better. Don't really think they
have the best luck tonight against the Oilers, but they
went through a little bit of a rut. It's it's amazing,
Like the hockey world is just the same as every
other sports world. Like a team loses three in a row, Oh,
they wear a bunch of frauds. They're a bunch of frauds. Like,
and then they win one game again. All they're back.
They're backing good again. So I think Anaheim Is is
still a pretty good team.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, let's see here. Let's see if I
got anything else here. I'll give you there's an early here.
I'll give you guys, some NBA plays and a golf
play for today, Pascal Siaka. This game is in a
couple hours. Pascal siakam over three and a half assists
for the Pacers. They keep they keep this number at
three and a half. It's a little juicy. It's like
minus one fifty. But he's like up to like nine assists,
nine potential assists per game. He's gone over in like
six straight and tgl is tonight, Boston Common Golf is
minus one forty four over Bay Golf Club, Boston Coleman.
Boston Common has a big, big advantage Rory's playing tonight
and he's one of his teammates, Thorburne and Olison. This
was the very first season for Olison. You worry about
those guys, but he practiced a lot and really understood it.
The other team's got some they got some vulnerability with
Shane Lowry. So we actually hit our We did a
live watch for TGL last week injury last Yeah, we
hit a but we hit some free bets and uh
some live bets and uh TGL And that's available on
all of the books now this year. So it's a
really good one. I don't think many people are are
paying attention to.
Speaker 2: I heard they're starting the UH Women's PGA right for that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the women's will be probably next year. And if
you buy, I hope they give us lines on that one.
That will be I'll be very very excited to bet
that one.
Speaker 3: So cool.
Speaker 1: All right, anything.
Speaker 3: Else, that's it. That's it.
Speaker 2: Big Slate tomorrow, Big Slate tomorrow. I'm gonna have the
pre scout posted. It will do you guys can catch
that probably later on tonight. That'll be on the wager
Talk YouTube channel. We're gonna break down two games, then
go over some player props for tomorrow slate, so we'll
get ahead of that. I'm already starting to handicap tomorrow slate.
And as mentioned, four percent best bet really good run
right now in the NHL, low volume. Hit the five
percent Friday and I went one on one on Saturday.
So we're always keeping it real, keeping it transparent. But
nice to have a good run right now. And Andy,
those UFC articles, man, now you put time with them,
with them and the fact that you're putting it out
here on a Monday, you know the fights are on
the Weekend's that's the way to go, getting ahead of things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I right them every Sunday. Got to get the
best of the lines. There's already one fight. The line
has moved pretty aggressively, so getting those opening lines are
pretty big. So it should be a good week, good
week of betting again.
