Speaker 1: Two more days left of NHL action before the NHL
takes a break for the Olympics. Guys, Welcome to Puck Time,
Wager Talk TV, myself, Andrew McGinnis, Carmea and Bianco, Brian
Leonard and Don Buster jam pack show for you guys today.
It is a Wednesday, but there are a handful of
games for us to get into. Look forward to breaking
it down, look forward to having a big, big day.
One in one day yesterday, NHL one in one day yesterday.
College basketball should have been a great night. Pittsburgh Penguins.
They're leading with five minutes to go, they lose in overtime.
Speaker 2: We'll move on.
Speaker 1: Feel pretty good about the reading that one Columbus. They
got the job done, easy winner. And I think it
was a pretty good day for all of us yesterday
on Puck Time, Carl, I'll bring you in man, good
to see you.
Speaker 3: Good morning morning man. Two days left until the Olympic break.
Some of these tea teams are already on Olympic breaks. Andrew,
it seems like, yeah, I'm looking forward to man. We
have guys, we have an action packed show today. We'll
be doing some during the Olympic break. I believe as
well too. Will be talking some hockey, But Andrew and
I are going to break down Montreal and Winnipeg, essentially
a coin flip between these two Canadian teams. Don Buster
coming in to do Chicago and Columbus. Brian Leonard, the Man,
the legend, the myth, is going to do the Vegas
Golden Knights, a team he knows more about than anybody else,
as they take on the Vancouver Canucks. And then you
and I are going to finish it off with the
Alberta the Alberta Derby Edmonton and Calgary. The Oilers off
a five to two loss yesterday to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
What are you guys doing? That game lands on seven, Andrew,
Every book had it at a seven and it's where
it landed. Then you're going to do the same game parlay, Dude,
you're five and oh I am. I've been keeping receipts
five and oh with the individual player on these same
game parlays. I keep the receipts, Andrew, so I can
show them the next time out a pod play. We'll
see if we can make it two pod play winners
in a row. Yeah, it was a hold your nose
on the Philadelphia Flyers yesterday, but they got it done.
Speaker 2: Great call in that game.
Speaker 3: But before that, dude, five percent plays. You have one
up for tonight, locked and loaded, three and one last
month with five percent plays. Give us a little limpull, Hey.
Speaker 1: Carl, we got off to a tough start with the
five percent plays of the year, but we're really picking
it up three and one in January with the five
percent plays. This is the play that stood out to
me right away, and this is one that people are
gonna love because you know what, I labeled this the
over of the night, and you know, people love betting totals.
People love betting overs. Nobody likes watching and cheering on
an under. Well, if you guys joined me today on
this five percent play, you're getting the best over game
I think of the entire board. So you guys can
pick and choose which one you think that is. But
this is the best bet over totals game of the night.
So looking forward to it, Hopefully we can go into
the break with a bang, and yeah, it's not going
to be just this one place. So I really recommend
people to go out there and get that day pass
if you're interested and as well, came. I had one
guy today and maybe he doesn't know about the Olympic break,
but somebody bought a seven day NHL pass from me.
There's only two days left for a couple of weeks.
But if you guys are on any type of deals
like that, hopefully most of you guys know this. But
any day there isn't actually any NHL games, you're going
to just be extended. So the NHL passes go for
just days that there actually will be hockey.
Speaker 2: So if you want to buy a.
Speaker 1: Thirty day, seven day, whatever it might be, you're going
to be extended for for all those days of course
that there actually is NHL action.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everything carries over essentially every handicapper or any handicapper
that does NHL. Our system puts it on a pause
from the sixth until the twenty fourth, so that automatically
extends your package, and it pauses your package and it
re begins or begins again on the twenty fifth of
February when the Olympic break is over, and that Dash
for the Cash begins in the NHL. Speaking of Dash
for the Cash, Andrew, let's talk about a couple of
Canadian teams here, Montreal Canadians and Winnipeg Jets minus one
ten both ways. Total sits here at six. I'm a
little sour about the Winnipeg Jets, and not the Winnipeg
Jets in general, but the fact that I believe the
Pod play with them at plus money in Dallas should
have gotten there, should be at a higher total right now.
I think they were jypped in ot on what was
clearly too many men on the ice for the Dallas Stars.
But with that said, you take the good and the
bad with officiating in the NHL and bounces and puck luck,
and that's one that went against us. How are you
breaking this one down, Andrew?
Speaker 1: I think in this game here, Karen, we got we
got to look at some save props potentially, and I
believe we might be getting Montambeau in between the pipes here,
so we'll see. Dobish has now played a couple straight
games in a row for the Canadians. You and I
looked at the board earlier. We're looking at him being
projected to start. We'll find out with the morning skate,
but he hasn't played in quite some time. And you know,
looking at this spot here, I think that it's probably
gonna be the one that he'll get in before the break.
They don't want him going too long without playing a game.
Winnipeg does not shoot the puck very much. They are
quite low as far as shots on goal per game.
So this isn't exactly me taking a dig at Montambeau
even though he hasn't played that great. It's more so
taken a dig that the Winnipeg Jets don't create that
many chances. So I think I'm looking towards the goalie
saves under for Samuel Montambeau if I can. And on
the other side of it, if I was look at
another goalie save prop, it would probably be the opposite,
looking at shots on goal props or goal save props
for Hellibuck because it's just too it's two different teams
right now. It's a high dangerous team versus a low
event team, and the Winnipeg Jets they're kind of going
back to their old form where they just simply don't
create that many chances based on you know, some of
my metrics here. They're a top heavy attack, you know,
Suzuki Slavkovski, Kawfield and those guys. They're going to be
testing hellabuck all day long. There's certain teams I think,
Karmen that we're going to look towards overs for when
it comes to the last game before the break, and
there's maybe some teams we might look for unders when
it comes to the last game before the break. Six
and a half year Winnipeg Montreal, I kind of lean
towards the under in this one.
Speaker 2: What about you, Yeah, you.
Speaker 3: Know, for fear of the fact that you're a Montreal
Canadians fan and we have Don Buster coming up, we're
a Montreal Canadians fan. I want to thank you guys. Well,
I don't want you guys to think I'm jumping on
your bandwagon, but I like the Montreal Canadians. That minus
one ten, I'm a little surprised. I thought I could
get them at some short plus money and who knows,
maybe some Winnipeg money comes in if Montembeau is named.
I was confirmed as the starter, figuring that he's not
the number one goalie right now for that team. But
it's one of those ones where first came back off.
Speaker 4: A road trip.
Speaker 3: You see some of these Western Conference teams or vice versa.
The the Eastern Conference teams struggle, and you know, Winnipeg
went on that went on that road trip, come back.
Now they take on the Montreal Canadians and the Canadians
are going to skate. The Canadians are going to be fast,
and if Winnipeg don't have the legs in this one,
the Montreal Canadians are going to take advantage of them.
This is just one of those ones where Winnipeg just
seems to be sputtering along, win a couple, lose a couple,
win one, lose one. They're just sort of zigzagging back
and forth, and the Canadians put forth an effort each
and every time.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: With that said, minus one ten, I'm gonna wait around
a little bit because I think mont and bo is
gonna get confirmed as the goalie, and I think that's
going to bring the price down on Montreal and up
on Winnipeg. And if I can get even money on this,
then I'm in. I'm all about and we'll talk about
with Brian a little later on. I'm all about saving
a little bit of big in order to get my
play in. If I think I get the right price,
then I'm in on it. So with that said, Andrew,
don't think too much into this one. I am not
a Mentreil fan. I'm a fan of money and my
money will be on the Canadians if I get them
at even money today.
Speaker 1: There's always room for you on the bandwagon, Karen's always room.
But then again, you're Buffalo savers. With how they're playing,
it's probably a good time you stick with them. With
how they're playing. I mean, the Atlantic Division overall is
looking so great. We talked yesterday with Brian Leonard about
how we expect certain teams to look going into the break.
Will this team play better defensively? Will this team play
better offensively? We'll find out. For me, I'm looking for
the under here, just mostly based on Winnipeg not playing
exciting hockey lately, but very curious to see what ends
up happening here. Chuck Pod says, I'm seeing lots of
books going to six on this game. Great point by him,
So if you guys do want to get a six
and a half, make sure you jump on it asap.
But Tech Carm, You're always welcome, man, You're always welcome
to hop on the habs with you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this one just hasn't really moved much, and I
think goaltending probably has a lot to do with it. It
opened at like one eleven one eleven minus one eleven
minus one oh nine, and we're at minus ten both
ways on our consensus line on the wager Talk free
play or sorry, free odds line. And if you go
to if you haven't already done so, go to Odds
Logic and at least try seven days of their service
for free, because I'm telling you you can see those live,
live moves as they happen in real time. There's a
slight delay on our live lines on the wager Talk site,
so Odd's Logic you're getting real time moves as far
as that one goes. But with that said, let's get
this whole Montreal flavor out of there and bring in
none other than the guy who just loves to play
with the rods and cones in my eyeballs, none other
than Don Buster. Buster.
Speaker 4: What is going on then?
Speaker 2: What's Buster.
Speaker 4: Guys?
Speaker 5: How you guys doing today?
Speaker 3: Good man? How you doing? Buster? Are you ready for
the super Bowl?
Speaker 5: I am got it ready for a super Bowl. I'm
meeting a couple of buddies. We're going to this Irish
bar down here that will have the game on in English,
So that's good. It's kind of like I call a
gringo hangout. I don't go there often, but it is
is a nice place to watch sports since I have
my own kind of set up here. But yeah, things
are going well, Andrew. I see you have a five
percent play up. I just want to wish you luck
in case I forget to do so, uh a little
later as I'm breaking down my game, and thank you.
Just good luck. And Hey, like the new haircut going there.
Looks like you got a little off the side or something.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure appreciate.
Speaker 3: I got some some breaking news on my phone. I
should mention to you a message from our good friend
Robert Brailey, who says he'll be watching the game at
the Banana Bar. He says, you might have heard about it.
Have you heard of the Banana Bar?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yes, he actually text me uh late last night
and I know I know, so that means he's back
at BUSS And yes, I will not even go to
that coast. Actually, I've almost banned Theacific coast of Mexico
Andrew because of that.
Speaker 4: Listen, Andrew.
Speaker 3: If you haven't heard the story, Rob will tell you
one day Buster suffered and listen, we nobody at wants
to lose. But Buster suffered one of his worst bad
beats ever in this banana bar. And let me tell you,
he turned that banana bar into a banana split bar.
He pretty much broke tables, chairs, crushed a couple of TVs,
and then made his way out of there.
Speaker 5: It wasn't that fast. Let's just say that.
Speaker 3: Buster, two teams that won't ask you to leave are
the Chicago Blackhawks and the Columbus Blue Jackets. This is
actually a pretty good game for you to choose tonight.
I'm anxious to hear what your thoughts are in this.
Columbus minus one forty eight Chicago plus one two total
sits here at six. How are you breaking this one down?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Carl, These clubs just played last Friday and Columbus
ended up winning four to two. It was actually a
really close game. Columbus end up getting an empty netterer
to win for two is three to two after the
second period, So if you had an over there, you
kind of got hurt on that one. You end up
pushing though. Columbus have been playing unbelievable hockey. They win
again last night. You know, beating the shutting out New Jersey.
They played a great defensive game. Can't see that happening
again tonight, but we'll get to that. Won six straight
games now and ten of their last eleven. And I
remember about maybe a month ago where Andrew was asking
me a question about that Eastern Conference and I said
everyone had a chance, and I believe Columbus was right
near the bottom. I did get a little bit of
slack when I said even Columbus, I liked how they
were playing. And look at this a little while later.
Now they're winning ten and eleven. So I tell you
it's gonna be a great month, that last month for
the watching hockey for actually both conferences. There's gonna be
a lot of playoff spots up for grabumb Is. Definitely,
he's the last game for both teams before the Olympic break.
They definitely would like to go in win in seven
straight games. And Uh, but the Blackhawks, they finally broke
a five game losing streak. UH put women in sixty
three against San Jose. Uh. They seem they've got everybody
back from injury. Now they had a bunch of injuries
and now everybody seems me back, and they still they
still struggle to win. They still struggle to win. They
have decent goaltending, but they struggle to win. But what
I find really strange fishy Me and Andrew who have used
fishy a lot. A lot of people in the chat
don't like the word fishy, but believe you've been doing
this a long time. When I see a fishy line,
to me, this is a fishy line for sure. The
line in Chicago last Friday, columb ended at Columbus minus
one seventy and now it's one wherever there's the you know,
they're a little bit all over the market there. I
know they played last night, but really that just seems
to know you would luck go okay, well I'm going
to take Columbus or one ten and eleven bang. But
I just there's just again, when it's fishy like that,
I'd like to keep away. And maybe because of that
defensive effort that Columbus had to put in last night,
now twenty four hours later that they got to play.
So yeah, for I definitely don't want to take Columbus
at all, only because of the fishy line too. That's
just to me, and I'm definitely not going to trust Chicago.
I know they won their last game, but they have
a hard time winnings, so I've got to pass the
side here. I have already made a small play for
my clients on the over six at minus one fifteen.
Now there's still a few six and a half's under
twenty five. So if you do like it under, I'd
be grabbing that now. At least there was about a
half hour before I looked. I just believe the Blackhaster
are going to score some goals tonight here. Just gotta
believe that. And also when these teams are like right now,
Chicago they're five one on one last seven to the over.
Columbus are four to three and one to the over
with the and that's what that shut out last night.
And when these teams get together they are five one
and two to the over the last eight and just
a little uh, just want to let you know the
last game the total was six, So six is is
the total? Now you can get six available, and I look,
you know what, guys, I see a lot of these
maybe the last two games. I know you talked about
it a little bit there, Andrew. I think these last
two games might like the last two days, sorry, not
last two games. The last two days you might see
a lot more overs than unders, because I don't know
how much defense these guys want to play before their
takeoff on their vacations.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's the big thing is how they're
going to come out, right, Carl, Like, how these teams
are going to come out in the last game or two.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And the thing is, I think Columbus is in
that spotbuster where they can't take it. They cannot take
a night off. They have to try and grab every
win hossible because in the Eastern Conference, as you mentioned,
you know, I mean they're at the bottom now, they're
they put themselves into a spot where they can get
up or you know, with a good second half push
or good final push in the last twenty games or so.
I look at the goaltending, you I mean, like, I
just think while the line does does seem a little off,
I just think the better team is Columbus. The better
team playing right now is Columbus.
Speaker 4: The goal.
Speaker 3: If the goaltending is Spencer Knight and Jack Greaves, then
I think the goaltending advantage lies with Columbus and Jack Greaves.
Jack Greaves, if you look at his splits Buster home
and away pretty much even on the road, he's seven
and seven six and to nine ten save percentage to
sixty six goals against average. At home he's ten and
six with five OT losses I believe, and two seventy
two goals against average, nine h seven save percentage. But
he's won his last five games as well too, is
that's something to look into. With a nine thirteen save
percentage and those wins have come against you know, a
few of those teams are are pretty good. Okay, he
did win at Saint Louis, but beating a very good
Tampa Bay team, shutting out to the Dallas Stars, a
little bit of relief. Against the Ottawa Senators he didn't start.
He didn't start that game, and then wins against Calgary
in Utah. So he's playing well. I think the goaltending
advantage lies with them. I don't think they can take
the night off. Does the goalie stuff come into it
for you and Buster?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, definitely. I've looked at the at the goaltender stuff.
But like I said, I just you know, when it's
one seventy in Chicago, now it's one fifty in Columbus
and how and the way they've been playing. You know, Yeah,
the goaltenders do come into it for me. But I
still don't think they're going to play much defense tonight
because of uh And then Chicago did put up a
six spot last game against San Jose, so they'll they'll
want to play a little bit more offensive, and the
lineup six I like, I say, that's why I do
like it over. Yeah, there's no doubt. Like you have mentioned,
Greaves is playing a lot. It's playing pretty good hockey.
I actually liked the goaltender myself. I had mentioned that
about a month ago. So but just I guess, well,
when I look at that at this right away, when
I saw it was six over fifteen, I'm like, yeah,
that's gonna bean over tonight, just last game for each team.
You know.
Speaker 4: Just sometimes the way.
Speaker 3: You look at things, I intend to agree with you
Buster in the sense of I think it was six
and a half, I would stay off the game at six.
There's a lot there's a lot more ways to get
to six to at least secure a push than there
are to get to seven sometimes where you need to win.
Case in point, you know that leaves total at seven
yesterday four to three seems to be one of those
games five to two because you get a goalie poll.
If a team is up four to two, you get
a goalie pull in the empty netter to get there.
So there's a lot of ways to at least guarantee
yourself a push, I would think, or be closer to
a push than there is with this with the hook
where you're gonna need a little bit of help each
and every time. Buster, What do you got to promote?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, as you know Carmine and Andrew, they have
a whole bunch of great deals over at the site.
We've got a ten days. The one that I like
is the ten day all access for only sixty nine dollars.
You get all the five percent releases. Yeah, that's that's
a great deal I'm gonna have. I won't have as
much as Andrew, but I will be having some Olympic
hockey up and with college basketball. Won our college basketball
four percent our last night for customer appreciation Day, and yeah,
really looking forward to getting into the college basketball that
much more. Been doing all right right now. And what
people don't know they see O Buster NHL that's kind
of CFL but you know what, in college basketballball I
was one of my favorite sports. And Brian will be
coming on here pretty soon and he'll me and him
been to a bunch of spots when I go to Vegas,
and I've actually been to four final fours and been
to all kinds of sites. So college basketball, I do
miss that being in Mexico because I'd go on a
little bit of road trips all over, like Morgantown, West Virginia,
stuff like that. But yeah, so anyways, head on or
site and grab out. That's a great deal. Ten days
of all access for sixty nine dollars.
Speaker 3: Andrew. A little known fact, Buster was actually with James
Nasmith when they invented the game of basketball. He was
one of his students. So they put the ball into
the little wicker basket and then use the little broom
to knock the ball out again and stuff. But Buster, listen, man,
you're definitely enjoying the best weather looking forward to the
Super Bowl as as you are in the Olympics. Of course,
that cheer on our teams. But listen, man, have a
fantastic time. Thanks for the breakdown on the scoggled Columbus game.
And I wish you the best of luck tonight and
through the weekend as well too.
Speaker 2: See a bus there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, best luck guys, and I'll see you tomorrow.
Speaker 2: All right, Carl, I'll tell you what duel might not realize.
James N. Smith. Where's he from? Where's he from? Let's
not forget about it. Canadian.
Speaker 3: Oh, I thought you're gonna stay from the east coast
Ninevat or wherever you live in Narnia. Narnia's farther north
and extremely cold. I would love for people to go
up to Ninevat and explore and see how cold it
is there. Man, h.
Speaker 4: You could.
Speaker 3: That's one of those ones where you grab a glass
of water, you toss it up in the air and
it just disintegrates, crystallizes or whatever. Speaking of crystallizing, this
man here is a legend. Let's bring him in.
Speaker 1: It's always a great when brings brying in, that's for sure.
If someone knows how to do away, it's it's definitely Carmine.
Speaker 6: I'm just not talking about coffee anymore. Yeah, yeah, you're
great at those introductions. And I gotta say, Andrew, regardless
of the haircut, we've already got promotion of that. I
love the glasses. Man, You look so much more intelligent
when you wear glasses. I find the same thing for myself.
If I see a cute girl and she's got glasses on,
a go, she looks better.
Speaker 4: So uh yeah, congratulations.
Speaker 3: And go to the You hang out at the library
a lot, don't you.
Speaker 4: Bro.
Speaker 1: It is true though, like I swear, even if a
girl doesn't have the brains, it might as well pop
some glasses on.
Speaker 2: It's more attractive, it is.
Speaker 6: I remember just a couple of years ago the younger
cats wearing glasses without the lenses.
Speaker 4: I can you remember that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I thought it was funny, but I could say it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, I never wore glasses growing up. And then I
had good see the eye doctor, and I had to
get the most minor minor, like there's there's still mostly
just the blue light. But it's like when you are
looking at three monitors every day watching games on your phone,
a disgusting amount. You guys would be discussed if you
saw my phone hours every day.
Speaker 2: Like, people would be disgusted by.
Speaker 1: So my eye started to pay me, and I'm like,
all right, if you don't take care of this now,
it's gonna be a problem when you're older. So the
biggest thing why I wear these, honestly, Brian, is if
I'm watching like my TV and I have the lights out,
Like if it's dark in your room and you have
a bright TV, it.
Speaker 2: Really is bad for your eyes. So it helps me
out a lot.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I used my phone on eyeing and bad and
the screen and all. It's I feel terrible for these
younger kids. You can imagine how bad eyes are now.
Just imagine there's just gonna come on their thirty jeez.
Speaker 2: Big time.
Speaker 3: Listen, man, I grew up in at a time, Andrew
like braces at the age of ten, glasses at the
age of like eleven, I was like a chick magnet.
Speaker 4: I didn't have the hair back. Now they're gone at
the end.
Speaker 3: And this is a true story.
Speaker 4: This is a true story.
Speaker 3: I'm about to tell you, you know how Brian might
remember it, But Andrew, you're too young to remember these
kind of things, or to haven't told you where our
parents would tell us, don't cross your eyes because they'll
get stuck.
Speaker 4: They'll stuck way.
Speaker 3: It was a thing that they used to say, do
you know yeah, do you know that this with my
eye here going to school and we were talking about
it and I crossed my eyes and I damaged the
nerve and I got stuck. And I was in the
hospital for a couple of months and they had a
patch on it, and I kept wanting to scratch it,
and they put me in an upper body cast back
then as a kid, so I could not grab my
eye because they said, any you can damage it even more. Dude,
graces glasses and a body cast. It doesn't get any
worse than that. That's a for some insurance company, Geico
or whoever.
Speaker 2: All right, Brian, we're curious your thoughts here on Vegas.
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: I was three and one January with five percent plays.
The one that screwed me was Vegas over three and
a half on Saturday. It was the second game back
after the road trip, so I thought that was going
to be the one they're going to be dialed in for.
Seattle swallowed them up. They played well defensively. I haven't
been able to say this for a long time, but
one thing I'm knowing noticing as of late with this
Vegas team a bit top heavy. You know, they've got
their superstars and that's about it. For them. The thing
I've always known about the Vegas Goali Knights is that
they've had a big supporting cast, you know, good secondary scoring.
Who better to come to town than the Vancouver Canucks.
But how do you approach this game?
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's great points there. In fact, they brought up
their fourth string center Tonight is going to be playing
in his first career game. So yeah, they by watching
the Nights the last you know, last month or so.
Speaker 4: Every time I watch it.
Speaker 6: We watch every game and they always have a new player,
my wife Tonic.
Speaker 4: But where do we get this guy from? Do they are?
Speaker 6: They're a very top heavy team and that's been hurting them.
And if you take a look at you mentioned losing
the toilet in that one, or the team total. If
you look at Vegas the last few games, the if
you look at the deserved to win meter and they
expected goals, they're still playing pretty well offensively. It's just
that they're just not getting it done defensively. Well, this
is a game. I think they'll be a little bit
defensive oriented in this one. You know, the Knights that
dominated the series, especially as of late. They won the
last four meetings by scores of four to one, three
to two, three to one, and three to one. I've
been very consistently slowing down the offense here for Vancouver,
which has their own problems anyway, but these are all
been defensive battles. They've won eighteen to twenty five all
time meetings against the Canucks Vancouver this season, six thirty
one and five when they score three goals or less.
So the last five games overall for Vancouver, they've scored
ten goals total, two exactly in each of those games.
So Vegas is going to shut down the Vancouver Canucks
offense tonight. I have no doubt about that. And even
though they've had problems with their goalies and none of
them are actually playing very well right now, with these
last two games, they've come out and said today that yes,
obviously in the past, the coach came out and said
they've been looking forward to the Olympics and all I
think seven players are supposed to go from the night.
So they've been preoctopayed a little bit. But they've lost
five games in a row here. You know, Vegas has
been mediocre at best and five and five play, they
were like fifth on the power play, eleventh on the
Pounty kill and that's supposed to twenty third and thirty second,
respectively for the Canucks. So Vegas have lost five straight,
as I mentioned, seven of eight overall. They've had the
last two days off before hosting this club, and they
host Los Angeles tomorrow. And as for Van Kouber, this
is their final game before the break. This is the
team was right now the worst record in the league,
the worst amount of points. So I don't see Vancouver
winning this game now. The host is a prohibitive favorite
here for a good reason, especially how bad Vegas has
been in overtime of shootouts. If you go to take
a look at Vegas, you've got to play them in regulation.
I'm not a regulation guy.
Speaker 4: I know you are.
Speaker 6: You guys are in pres is. I don't play a
lot of regulation, but that would be something I would
look at here. But I also want to fade the
Vancouver office. Like I said, Vegas has done very well
against them and really slowed them down to Vancouver's offenses
in and rut right now. So the way I'm looking
at it is two ways to play either Vegas and
regulation or the Vancouver team total under I like both
of them, but we're getting a little bit less juice
here if we're playing the under two and a half
at minus one thirty eight. So that's the way I'm
going to go on this for the video today, Vancouver
team total under the two and a half.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bryan, I tend to agree with you. Obviously. You
look at this line and people will say, you know,
why are we talking about games where teams like a
minus two seven or minus two eighty and other teams
plus two twenty. But you can pretty much preview any
Vancouver game for the rest of the regular season. I
think they're gonna be like other than games at home
on the road, I think they're gonna be plus two
hundred and higher for the rest of the season. They're
definitely gonna be a seller at the trade deadline. I
think today is the last day of the of the
trade freeze. I believe maybe Andrew can correct us or not,
so any trades can still happen today. But Vancouver's gonna
say yea eastern three pm eastern. So Vancouver's going to
sell off some pieces. This is a team that is
going to have to start a rebuild, and what better
rebuild than to be the last place team and hopefully
pick up a guy like McKenna first pick in the draft,
and you just start to rebuild. We've seen some of
the teams Chicago looking a lot bit better in kinnor
regards like second or whatever. You're in Maclin, Celebrini with
San Jose. There's some some very good kids coming out
of that NHL draft. In a Vancouver can stockpile, even
a few number one picks, they've got a chance, but
they're gonna be plus two hundred moving forward. It's kind
of like a couple of years back Andrew with the
Buffalo Sabers, where they were like plus three hundreds in
the last like ten to fifteen games of the season
because they were just a miserable team.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So with that said, any thoughts on bry the second half.
I just wanted to sticking with Vegas because I talked
to Andrew about this just before the show. Obviously, as
hard as it sounds, this is an important game for
the Vegas Golden Knights. They play La tomorrow and then
they go into that break. But they've got some tough
games coming out and it's even though they're in first
place in the Pacific, they're not guaranteed a spot in
the NHL Playoffs as of yet because the West is
becoming competitive coming out of the break. They play the Kings, uh,
and then they hit the East coast Washington, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Detroit,
come back to play Minnesota, Edmonton in Dallas. Uh. That's
that's a pretty strong schedule coming out of the post
Olympic break. And you said, I think they have seven
guys going to the Olympics.
Speaker 6: Guys going to one of the guys got hurt last night,
but he's he's not been ruled out for the Olympics yet,
but he's uh, he's not one of their main players.
But yeah, you're you're right. They've got the tough schedule
coming out. They need to get it together. I would
have liked, you know, that's that's the good thing. It
seems to be every team I've ever rooted for in
my life is a lousy team. The Browns, the Indians
to get in and all, uh you know, yeah, yeah,
so usually that's a good time, you know, when they
come out and they come out. But yeah, it's it's
a situation for Vegas. They know they need to win.
And like you said about Vancouver, Vancouver is a team
right now. They just we've all been there. If you've
been on teams and just can't wait to get to
the break, we've all played sports before. So yeah, it's
a great situation there, and I don't I don't want
to lay that number for Vegas because if it goes
to overtime, who has confidence in Vegas goming overtime.
Speaker 4: Second half of the season is going to be big
for Vegas. They want to set themselves up.
Speaker 6: So I think we'll get a better, better look at
them in the second half and they'll play better because,
as I mentioned, if you take a look at the
expected goal situation, they've been very good and they just
gotta get the five on five. The five on five
just does not work. And we'll see how it goes
to the second half of the season. So these are two
very important games to go into the break.
Speaker 3: All right, Brian and Andrew. Brian, I know I did
to ask you this before the show. Do you have
any thoughts on this next game Edmonton and Calgary? Because
if so, I'd like you and Andrew to talk about it.
But I'll go to Andrew first on this one. Andrew,
the Oiters off a five to two loss to the
Toronto may Beliefs minus one thirty three Calgary plus one
thirteen six and a half is the total the Alberta Derby.
These teams do not like each other. They would love
nothing better than to an open game. Score some goals,
throw some bodies around.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 3: Cadri going into the break is going to want to
put on a performance of his own as well too,
maybe from a toughness point of view for a team
who might might be a buyer at the trade deadline
after the break. What are your thoughts on this game? Andrew?
Speaker 1: First of all, my thoughts are I don't know your
soccer lingo here, karm. It's the Battle of Alberta, not
the Alberta Derby.
Speaker 2: This isn't this isn't England here.
Speaker 3: We're not in the Manchester Derby. I get it. Derby
this weekend is the North London Derby between Arsenal and Tottenham.
Speaker 4: But we'll get to that.
Speaker 2: It's not the Premier League.
Speaker 1: It's the NHL, the National Hockey League here. Come on, look,
it's hard to argue the over in this game here. Look,
you can't say I don't talk about unders. I gave
out the Jets in Montreal game under. We do talk
about some unders, but right now, my favorite thing about
what's going on with the Oilers guys is, look what
happened with Stuart Skinner. Stuart Skinner goes to the Pittsburgh
Penguins and oh my god, what does it look like?
Speaker 2: He's actually a good goalie.
Speaker 1: And everybody that said he sucked can just you know,
fill in the blank, because it was the Edmonton Oilers
defense all along.
Speaker 2: Because now you.
Speaker 1: Bring Tristan Jarry over there to Edmonton and he doesn't
look very good. Connor Ingram doesn't look very good. And
despite Calgary not playing in the most highest scoring games,
they are having a strong shooting percentage right now. And
I think that for some of these bad teams, they
might say, hey, let's roll the pucks out, let's go
with a bang and with the physicality, with the power
plays from these teams with Leon or O'Connor both of
them not scoring a point, and I think there is
something to be said about wanting to go to the
Olympics on a good note. Ni Suzuki for the Montreal
Canadian said, it's no secret I want to play good hockey.
The past couple of games, even though I already know
him on the team. You want to go into the
Olympics feeling pretty good about yourself. Well, Connor McDavid and
Leon Dryslitle. They lost seven to three against Mini and
then what five to two against Toronto. They're gonna be
motivated and Calgary's gonna say, oh my god, Brian, Carmen
Andrew can score on the Oilers right.
Speaker 2: Now, everybody can.
Speaker 1: Let's take the over six and a half here, because
right now this team is so bad defensively, they're gonna
give up goals against an East Coast team. But I
do respect their offense enough to think they're going to
bounce back. So this, to me is going to be
an over six and a half and hopefully it's not
like last night's game and we actually get a goal
or two in the first period. Can't believe that game,
guys finished with seven goals and there wasn't one single
goal in the first period. Now, I'll bring you guys
back into this. You know, I know that Brian, you
don't bet as many totals but I do. And we'll
have to talk to your pal Ralph built this because
how many totals would you say, with six and a
half as the number, land on seven five two four, three, six, one, whatever,
Because if you look yesterday, a lot of people will
tell you, hey, it's not worth it delay you know,
minus one forty over six and a half. But then
if you head over seven, you get the push, and
of course if you want the under, you're gonna take
under seven.
Speaker 2: But I'm very very curious.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like back in the day, Like when
I first started doing this, five and a half was
the most common total and then it became six. So
were you willing to lay that chalk on over five
and a half or lay the six because what was happening?
We all know three two score line empty that goal
for to get you over the total. So it's very
very interesting. I mean, guys, this to me is always
something worth talking about because when you see a seven,
there are you willing to lay the juice? Because there's
a lot of people that were probably able to be winners,
but they also would have lost chalk if they had
the over six and a half. What would you guys
do as far as that's concerned.
Speaker 6: I haven't opinioned on the game, but like you said,
I don't do a lot of totals, so it would
have to be in numbers. I'd have to compare to
the numbers and figure out what they are. But yeah,
that's the way I'm looking at this game. The only
way I could see is the over and and you're
getting you know, right now it's leaning six and a
half under fifteen basically. But you take a look at
you know, we've already said these are the last two,
their last game before the break. Edmonton especially has got
some real key players about to leave. So if you
take a look at Edmonton lately, they've been high scoring games.
They had seven against you know, in the Toronto game yesterday.
If you take a look at the prior games before that,
ten seven, eleven, eleven, eight. So right now Edmonton is
really in playing a lot of high scoring games. And
Calgary is a team that, yeah they're more of a
lower scoring team. But it's the last game before the break,
and I think that helps them a little bit here.
In the last few games for a Calgary, they haven't
scored a lot, so they need to get that offense
going a little bit. I expect this to be a
higher scoring game. I know in the past you've played
Edmonton team totals over and had success. You can get
plus money on the Edmonton Edmonton Orlers to score seven
goals or excuse me, score four goals here.
Speaker 4: That's not a bad way to look at this one either.
So yeah, it's over for me in this one.
Speaker 3: UH Andrey tend to agree three point one seven nine
to oh three save percentage for UH. For Dustin wolf
against the Edmonton Oilers in his career, February has been
Dustin Wolfe's worst month of the NHL season. In his career,
he is won six and one eight seventy six say
percentage of three forty one goals against average, and that
is each number. Each one of those two numbers, say
percentage and goals against average are the worst amongst all
months of the NHL season. And I know there's obviously
things that come into it, but he's not a very
good February goalie. Usually Calgary isn't a very good February
team because by this point they've already been eliminated from
the playoffs, and I don't think we're too far from
from saying that one as well too. So with that said,
I'm looking for some goals tonight, Brian, I agree with
you on this one, so let's go. Let's go goals
and maybe McDavid, who I put a pizza slice on
him to get a hat trick yesterday and he got
me nothing. I got no pizza man, I ketchup sandwiches yesterday.
For me, it was horrible, absolutely horrible. Probably what do
you got to promote well?
Speaker 5: Then?
Speaker 4: Been doing very well in college football, college football.
Speaker 6: I lost college football game in a whole month, college
basketball eleven and.
Speaker 4: Four last fifteen to five and one.
Speaker 6: In the NHL, lost our play yesterday on Seattle. I've
got two plays up at college basketball right now. I'm
going to have hockey up later. Me put up an
NBA game. And you had mentioned the the trade deadline.
NBA is going through the same thing, so keep in
mind when you're betting these games for hockey and the
nh in the NBA players you expect to be there
may not be there. So little you know, I'm not
good luck on your five percent player. I'm not gonna
go with anything right before the trade deadline like this,
but I've.
Speaker 4: Got the two college basketball players up.
Speaker 6: I'll have hockey up later, and still working on the card,
and we want to see what colors are going to
be in in that forest tonight before commit to any
of them.
Speaker 3: I don't blame you, Brian, And that's why guys, you
pick up the one day All Access at the very least,
and you're gonna get all of his plays across all
sports today, and he's gonna have some plays up. But
I just can't listen. I'm a Raptors fan, but I
just can't follow NBA right now. The game has just
changed so much with like load management and stuff, and
like Kawhi Leonard, Okay, a man who's beloved here in Toronto.
Kawhi Leonard not making the All Star Game so Laflop
can make it out in La is beyond me. So
with that said, it's just I can't watch it when
it's like saying, sorry, Connor McDavid, you didn't make the
All Star Game because we needed to give it to
like Nick Suzuki of the Montreal Canadians. Yeah, sorry, Andrew,
I had to get a little shot in there.
Speaker 4: But Thsten, man, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: I'll say about basketball, like people say that, like there's
certain sports that the coach matters the most. Obviously, NFL
because it's a play by play thing, like a stoppage play,
stoppage play. I you know, most people know this that
have watched our show. Like basketball was my sport growing
up and playing the most actually as much as I
love hockey. And my old man like he's the reason
I played basketball growing up.
Speaker 2: He loves that. He coached me a lot.
Speaker 1: He likes watching college basketball much better than NBA because
of the ball movement, because of the plays, because of
the motion offenses, Like it's just not like that in
the NBA. Like I really ask myself whenever I watch
the NBA, what are the coaches doing? Like what are
the coaches really instructing these guys to do? Because it's
pretty much pass it around, pass it around, isolation ball.
Like I know, Brian, do you still use that website
shot Quality, because I.
Speaker 4: Mean they do a very good job.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, very very cool website.
Speaker 1: But I think it's like I understand maybe the coaches
are setting up certain guys to get the ball, but
it's like, man, I don't know, maybe I'm a curse.
Every time I tossed on the Canadian team the Raptors here,
I literally watched like ten turnovers in five seconds and
I just turned the ball.
Speaker 2: I can't watch it. There's too many turnovers.
Speaker 6: Yeah, everybody tells to get too transit out there. And
my Cleveland Cavaliers trade a twenty four year old for
a thirty four year old who has never won in
the playoffs in his life, despite having every all he's played,
He's had to have played. Harden's had to have played
with every great player in the NBA, and he's he
still doesn't have a championship. So Cleveland trades ten year
younger player to get him. Yeah, I don't understand it.
Speaker 3: That should be a gm Brian, listen, man, We look
forward to you being on tomorrow and hopefully we can
put together that deal for the early baseball. We'll talk
about it a little later on. Get that one going
along with the n rest of the NHL as well too.
Wishing you the best of luck today and thank you
for doing double duty as well too and covering this
Edmonton and Calgary game.
Speaker 6: It's always a pleasure and I owe it to everybody
because I've stunk this week on this show.
Speaker 4: So hopefully I get you a winner today.
Speaker 2: You will all good, All good by, Take care of men.
See it's more good luck Andrew.
Speaker 3: I can see why. Uh, well, you had to play basketball, dude.
You're like seven to two or whatever the hell it is.
You're you're tall for you guys who don't know, Like
the first time Andrew came uh and uh I came
to Toronto, I think it was and Uh he was
standing beside the press. It's like watching the Rock and
Kevin Hart or you look up here and then you
look down there and it's like, that's what it was.
You were the Rock and uh the press was Kevin Hart.
Speaker 2: That is the press.
Speaker 1: He could stand on his wallet then he'd be a
lot taller than me. So he's got that going.
Speaker 3: It's all big cooin No Andrew, dude, five and zero
player props your run right now, give us a same
game partly, but some player props as well too that
people in the chat can follow along play individually and
make some money.
Speaker 1: Definitely, Car Definitely, I got a couple props for the
parlay for today. But we'll just look at some head
to head props for today to look at here if
anybody's interested. I love the head to head stuff, so
we'll try and find something for you Cole Cyllinger, he's
plus one seventy head to head three straight in his matchup.
We've got pretty good one here with Jordan Eberley four
straight for him, minus one fifteen. Steven Stamcos minus one
forty one might seem like a little bit too chalky
for people, but for him, four straight games for him
against Minnesota, he's gotten at least one point. Dylan Gunther,
same thing for him, and I think Rupe Hints is
in for a good night as well.
Speaker 2: For looking at the goal scorers right now.
Speaker 1: Goal scorers last five games, Morgan Geeky four of his
last five games plus one seventy five. Capriza four of
his last five games plus one ten, Matt Dushane four
of his last five games plus two seventy and Yol
ericson eck Joel ericson X from Minnesota plus two hundred.
He's got a goal in four of his last five
games as well. So as far as the hot goal
scorers right now, they're playing pretty well. Yesterday we cashed
Manta point he scored the first goal, and we cashed
Sidney Crosby assists.
Speaker 2: Both of those were plus.
Speaker 1: One ten, but we did lose the Penguins on the
money line, so that was kind of a little bit
of a damper here. As far as the parlay for
today we bring it up. It's kind of a small image,
I guess here, but we got two mini parlays. We've
got Cale mccarr over two and a half shots on
goal and we've got our Terry Lecanon same thing for
him over two and a half shots on goal plus
two to four Minnesota and Nashville Matt Boldi over two
and a half shots on goal. You'll ericson eck one
point plus one fifty. Total parlay is plus six sixty.
You've got three guys for shots on goal. You guys know,
I have been kind of laying off those, but I
love the matchups here. San Jose gives up a ton
of shots on goal, and I think Nashville sets up
very well for guys like Matt Boldy to get some
shots on goal.
Speaker 2: Let's go out with.
Speaker 1: With one year plus six sixty and then tomorrow I'll
make sure to have sun ready for you guys as well.
In the last one. And Lorenzo, I've been called a
lot of things in my life. I don't mind this nickname,
not bad Mick props McGinnis. I'll take that. Not bad,
not bad.
Speaker 3: Now I feel like having some McDonald's after the show,
although it's not very healthy for you. But yeah, I'm
taking receipts Andrew, and we'll see how that that fares
fore tonight in the props market. But fantastic role five
and zero and of course before I get into the
same sorry into the pod, five percent play up for
you three and one last month with five percent NHL.
So you're going to head into the break with a winner,
and you guys can take advantage of it by heading
over to wager talking Andrew's page, which you'll mention shortly. Guys,
we have a ton of people watching. Let's get those
likes up. I will make you a deal if we
have this is for tomorrow's show. If we have on
today's show two hundred and fifty total likes, and that
includes afterwards when the video's posted, and about forty to
fifty comments on the video after it's posted, as well
to seven games tomorrow. Obviously there's no six and sixty
this weekend. I will do a magnificent seven, the magnificent
seven and give you a play on all seven games
tomorrow on the show. So all you got to do
is hit that like button and then comment in the
comment section once this video is posted. With that said,
let's get to the pod. A winner yesterday with the
Philadelphia Flyers. Yes, hold your nose on that one. Where
are we going today? I am going with the Minnesota
Wild Yes, I had to wear the hat because it's
cold in Minnesota, but you know what, it's not cold
on the ice. This team is seven to two and
one their last ten, four and one their last five away.
They've quietly made a run to the top of the
Western Conference, only five points back of the Colorado Avalanche
when no one thought that anyone would catch Colorado.
Speaker 4: And then you look at it.
Speaker 3: Yes, Nashville is winning some games, but at the end
of at the end of the day, Nashville is not
going to make the playoffs. I talk about gold differentials
being an important metric that you need to look at
teams moving up and down the standings. Minus twenty six
for Nashville overall in the season, plus twenty six for Minnesota.
Minnesota is the better team here. They're on the road,
but they're going to get to win. Minnesota minus one
twenty five.
Speaker 4: That is your pod.
Speaker 2: The play of the day.
Speaker 1: You know what, carm If you're going to cash tickets
on Philadelphia, that's how I know you're doing well with
the play of the day because that was a bold
move with Philadelphia and you get the job done. Keep
it rolling, keep it rolling. I like that play today
with Minnesota.
Speaker 3: So yeah, we'll try and keep it rolling. One in
one day for me yesterday a four percent winner in NHL.
Last night, thirteen and three run in the NHL, which
is great. Finally lost one. I mushed myself with a
field goal kicker who doesn't miss anything from inside forty yards.
I lose a soccer play, but that was a seven
or oer run seven in one. If I can win
seven out of every eight soccer plays I put out,
I'll be perfectly happy. I'm passing on soccer take because
there's not much going on. There's an EFL Cup game.
I just don't like the card. But I will have
a five percent play loaded up for Saturday in soccer,
and I absolutely love this play. You guys can maybe
pick up that three day all access or seven day
package or that ten day one Andrew has up there.
Look at that Andrew your fire with that graphic. There
absolutely love our office for putting that together. Seven days
all access for the price of ten days all access
for the price of seven. Pick that one up. Three
plays up in the NHL for me, two of them
are best bet plays onesday three percent play passing on
soccer as I mentioned, and hoping to head into this
Olympic break on a great run thirteen to three NHL.
Let's make it sixteen and three. After tonight, Andrew, tell
us what you have up at wager Talk and close
the show out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, guys, a great, great deal, you know, ten days
all access, you know for the price of seven, saving
big time carmines role in multiple sports. Having a great
past couple of days I cashed at four percent five
dollars play in college basketball. Back to back blowout winners
for me with college basketball. So we all have our
sports we talk about the most, but we're also involved
in other sports too, So don't forget about these all
access deals. That's where you're gonna get everything that we
are involved in. But five percent play goes tonight. I'll
leave you guys with this. If you like exciting games
and if you like betting, overs. This game is for you.
That's all I've got for you. A big game, very exciting.
Cannot wait to cash this ticket. We'll see you guys
tomorrow on puck time. Let's pack the live chat final
show before the break. Hopefully you guys show up. We'll
definitely be here and ready to bring you guys some winners.
Speaker 2: Have a great day. We'll see you guys tomorrow, same time,
same place,
