Speaker 1: Thirteen games in the NHL. It is Tuesday, December twenty third,
the last show before Christmas.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 1: Welcome to puck Time on wager Talk TV. Andrew McGinnis,
Carmea and Bianco, Buster, don Buster and I almost forgot
Buster's last name, and Brian Leonard. Welcome to the show. Guys,
got a handful of games to get to. We've got
a lot of stuff on the show. Karm is fresh
off a big underdog winner with the play of the day.
He continues to build that bankroll. And I'm happy and
in the holiday spirit because we hit a six to
one same game parlay yesterday and that was awesome as well. Karm.
You know, the funny thing is is that someone commented
during the show saying, oh, Christian Devorak, he's actually healthy.
He's gonna play tonight. And I almost changed it, but
I never ended up changing. And of course he scored
a goal, but I had Meetchkob to get a point,
and all the winners count the same. It's an empty
net goal. And I'm watching the game with my friends.
I'm watching the Niners game on one TV the Flyers
game on the other, and they're like, dude, you already
hit your money line. Why do you care about this?
I'm like, I need I need a Meetchkov point. I
need one point from Meachkov.
Speaker 2: So six to one. You gotta love it.
Speaker 1: So looking forward to a good day today here karm
congrats on that plus one sixty winner.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, one in one night for me overall
in the NHL. But on yesterday's show, guys say it
went well. The Tampa Bay game went well. I like
the flyers on yesterday show, and I thought the two
dogs were live, both Columbus and UH and the Seattle Kraken,
and they both got the the wins in that one.
I wish there was a little more goal scored in
that and I'm game, but we'll take We'll take a
profitable one in one night. And then the last the
pod play gets there, we're almost at seven K. We're
like four bucks short of seven K. And if you
guys follow me on on the act, I posted some pitchers.
I was up early this morning, drove to the Richmond
Hill Food Bank and between all the groceries and then
a cash donation, we dropped off one thousand dollars and
that came out of the pod, this pod segment that
I'm trying to teach you guys that single game betting
is the way to build a bank roll. So they
were very appreciative. It's going to go up on their website.
I tweeted it out if you guys can retweet it.
I would love that even more. Doing something a little
small at this time of the year for those less fortunate,
I think is always a good thing. We got a
great show for you guys, planned four games. Andrew and
I are going to talk about the Buffalo Sabers and
Auto Centers, two teams I think are playing extremely well
right now and this is going to be a tough
one for us, the New York Rangers and Washington Capitals.
Don Buster tunes in from down South to cover that one.
Andrew and I will do Florida and Carolina. Is it
going to be a quick revenge spot for these two
teams that played last week in Florida with the with
the Canes blowing a three nothing third period lead. And
then of course mister Bailey's Brian Leonard coming in to
do Dallas and Detroit, or as he said, the game
nobody else wants to break down. I'm looking forward to
it saying game parlay for you, pod for me, this
one's a small I'll let you guys guess later on
plus money game. That's hopefully we can keep this streak going.
But with that said, Andrew, the Ottawa Senators plus one
fifty nine the Buffalo. Sorry, yeah, the Autawa Senators one
fifty nine Buffalo plus one thirty one. Six and a
Half's a total here, six in a row for the
Buffalo Sabers. You know, I never want to get into
Andrew in front of a team that is on a
win streak, as Teddy Covers would say, catching that folly knife.
But if you guys have heard me the last week,
ten days I've talked about Ottawa, I think is a
bay On team. They're playing extremely well right now. This
is a real tough one between these two, Andrew and
one in which I don't think either one of them
is going to give up a lot of ground on.
It's why. Although I think the price is probably about
ten to fifteen cents too high in this one, I
think the total is a little high in this one.
I'm leaning under in this one, I think six and
a half might be tough to get there. The Sabers
are playing much better defensively, they really really are. Their
goaltending seems to be coming together. They're getting big saves
when they need them, and depending on who the Ottawa
goalie is, Ollmark had a very good game last time
outs against the Boston Bruins. Six and a half seems
a little high for me, Andrew, I'm gonna lean under here,
what are your thoughts?
Speaker 2: I could see it, Karen.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's also a bold move
because it's the Buffalo Sabers and the Ottawa Senators.
Speaker 2: So good luck with that, because you know these teams.
Speaker 1: We have seen some shots on goal declines declining from
the Ottawa Senators. Their offense has been a little more selective,
which is true. You have two red hot teams, and Karen,
one thing I'm wondering is how we approach some of
these games when it comes to teams in the same
division today versus teams that potentially don't have much of
a rivalry. And I'm not saying this is much of
a rivalry, but overall, I am saying that these two
teams are in the same division, so maybe this game
will mean a bit more to them than maybe some
of the other teams that are playing each other that
don't exactly have you know, a rivalry taking place. Looking
at the odds in this one, though, I am a
little bit interested in taking Buffalo. The more I've looked
at it, the more I've been interested. I can't believe
I'm saying it, Karen, because I've been talking about how
the Ottawa Senators have been an undervalue team, a team
that you know, people aren't putting enough credit on. And
I think that you know, as far as Canadian teams
are concerned, nobody looks at Ottawa the same as they
look at the oilers or the leafs of the Habs.
Speaker 2: This team's look pretty good. And I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: Though they've been reliant on Lenis Allmark, they have been
reliant on their top goaltender quite a bit and overall,
looking at his save percentage, especially recently, it's been good,
but they've also been seeing some shaky numbers now with
the lack of shots over the last couple of games.
This Autawa Senator's team playing well but also relying on
a heavy shooting percentage. Meanwhile, Josh Norris, Zach Benson, Jason Zucker,
Tage Thompson. All of these guys are playing extremely well
in the last five games for Buffalo. I'm kind of
leaning towards the underdog in this one. I feel like
it's a pretty good number here, Karen, and I feel like,
you know, it's kind of my Christmas gift to you
to back your team to hopefully get the job done.
Speaker 2: Yea, if I can get it right here.
Speaker 1: But I just think that, look, we're seeing an Ottawa
team that's really playing some good hockey. But if we
take away, if we put on our recency bias hats
and just look at the metrics, look at the stats,
last five games, last ten games, these teams are pretty
close right now. And I will respect the Buffalo Sabers,
so I do lean towards that side.
Speaker 2: And you know, this is.
Speaker 1: Actually a pretty good goaltending spot as well, because I
actually think that most teams have not been able to
deal well with managing multiple goaltenders. But based on what
I've looked at this team, because there's a lot of
stats that have come out that have talked about how
players and goalies overall have been performing a lot better
this season the more rest that they've had. So with
the three goalie system and the multiple goalie system. They've
had a lot of these goalies that have been super rested.
I think the Buffalo can get to the promised Land.
But I do kind of agree with you're under there.
It's just for me, this could easily be a typical.
It's very hard for me with Buffalo and Autawater taken
under because it could be it could be two to
one and the end of the second period, the game
could end with nine goals. So a little bit of
a tough one. But I'm going to actually lean towards
the underdog.
Speaker 3: Here, all right. I'm definitely with you. I'm not playing
the Savers, but a love of the fact that you're
cheering for the Savers. Andrew, you know, all Mark is
confirmed for Boston, which I like as far as the undergoes,
and it looks like it for Ottawa. Yeah, And it
looks like it's going to be Alex lyon for the Savers.
And if you look at him prior to he got
a day off, thankfully, got a day off against the
New Jersey Devils in that three to one win in
New Jersey, but you look at the games even prior
to that, he was on a five game win streak,
so he's responsible for the first five of that streak,
starting in Edmonton where they beat the others four to three.
Then they beat Vancouver three to two, they beat Seattle
three to one, three road games in which he goes
a perfect three, you know in those games. Returns home,
they beat the Philadelphia Flyers, he's in goal. They play
the New York Islanders, he's in goal, and you look
at it, two three, one, two and three. Eight percentage
is definitely going high. He's playing extremely well, and I
think he's trying to make a case. He's trying to
make a case to be one of the two goalies
the Buffalo Sabers are going to keep prior to the
trade deadline because I think for my man TJ. Salvador,
here go Uko, Pecca lucan In if they can get
someone to offload that contract or take a big part
of it, he's the goalie who's likely on his way
out and they keep. Obviously, Colton Ellis is going to
be one of their goalies of the future. They still
have a goalie down in the minors and an Alex
Lyon who's I don't want to call him serviceable. Andrew,
because we saw when Brabroski was injured for Florida, Alex
Lion was in there and he was picking up wins
for them. So, but that said, let's hope for a
Sabers victory tonight. I'll take three to two Sabers, but
I probably would be good with three to two either way.
Anything that keeps it under the total. I prefer Sabers victory,
of course, and that one. Andrew, before we bring Don Bustering,
you have a five percent play up tell us, buddy,
because I absolutely love this play.
Speaker 1: Yeah, five percent play on five dollars Tuesday. So five
dollars Tuesday. You've got all kinds of great plays available
at the website. I have a five dollars Tuesday play
as well. But of course, this big one, we know
how it goes. Carm the big ones, they stay regular price,
they stay regular price. But I have a promo code
for everybody, and here's what it is. It's save half
fifty percent off my five percent play.
Speaker 2: I'll give it to you guys right now.
Speaker 1: I understand it's not going to be five bucks, but
you guys can use that promo code save half to
get fifty.
Speaker 2: Percent off my five percent play.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you, Carm, people love the cheer on overs, right,
people love the cheer on goals. There's thirteen games today.
I found a game that I think is going to
have a ton of goals. So this is my NHL
five percent goal Fest play and you can use that
promo code save half for fifty percent off my five
percent play.
Speaker 2: Looking forward to it.
Speaker 1: It's five dollars Tuesday as well, so I do a
five dollars play and I'm sure you do as well.
Speaker 2: But yeah, Karm, looking forward to it. I appreciate the mention.
Speaker 1: And hey, if you guys want to follow a game
with me that should have a ton of scoring, this
is the game for it.
Speaker 3: Awesome. I love it. Speaking of having goals, I think
when he goes out and watches a football game at
a bar. I think it was called the Banana Bar.
I'm not really sure what it's called. This man here,
don Buster, has a goal of not throwing a chair
through one of the TV monitors. Let's bring him in,
don Buster, Let's bring him what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: I had to get that up on the screen, that Carl.
I had to get that up on the screen. I
had to just get that up on the screen there
for a second. Guys, that's save half for fifty percent
off the five percent play. I know it's a busy
day at the website and you guys are all going
to grab five dollars plays, but this is a good
day for a five percent and thirteen games, all right?
Speaker 2: Not for that?
Speaker 1: Let's bring him in. What's up, buster? How are you?
Speaker 4: Thanks Andrew, appreciate it. Thanks Carmine for the mention of
one of the worst I've had in a long time.
Speaker 3: You can blame your good buddy Rob for telling me
that story. One of the one of the most disgusting
bad beats that you have ever taken in a football game.
Speaker 4: So yes, I remember three years ago that next day
I did the Monday Punk Time show with you guys,
and you had a picture of the bar that we
went to, the Banana Bar in uh good Busarias, Mexico.
So anyways, yeah, it was it was a rough day,
rough day, that's for sure. But oh, Andrew, good luck
on your five percent tonight. All the best for that.
And one other thing, Carmine, love that, haven't I've don't
think I've ever seen a hat like that.
Speaker 3: Black black Sheep. I went to h I went to
one of my friends had held the poker tournament last night,
and he had a display case with all the hats.
So now I know where the Press gets his hats from.
So this is the best part of it. I on
my way out, I was by the display, goes, hey,
pick one out. I go, I'll take the black sheep one,
and he goes, don't worry, he goes, I'll just say
you took it. And then I'll go to Press, because
Prez was at the tournament. Goes, and I'll tell him
that he owes me forty five dollars for the hat,
and Press paid for the hat. So there you go.
Speaker 4: Well you should you should write that date whatever date
that was, was that yesterday?
Speaker 3: Write that down, yes, write yes?
Speaker 2: Did he build that to wager talk or did he
pay for it?
Speaker 3: Oh god, yeah, who knows? But what that listen that
I heard.
Speaker 1: Of a bald guy having a bad hair day or
somebody's having a bad head day at.
Speaker 3: Carl I shaved, I shaved, Buster you are this is
quite possibly and I love you for picking this game.
This is quite possibly one of the toughest games on
the board and I didn't want to break it down
with Andrews, so I'm kind of glad that you picked it.
The New York Rangers at Washing Washington Capitals. One seventy
one on the Caps at home plus one forty on
the Rangers. Five and a half is the total. How
you breaking this one down?
Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks, Carmine. We have a couple of teams here
that actually haven't played their best hockey of late. And
then again in saying that the Rangers have been really
a disappointment all year. One good thing about the Rangers,
they do play well on the road. They've actually gone
ten and five in their last fifteen on the road,
so that that's pretty good. Washington, well, they've been really
really struggling. They've only won once in their last six games.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 4: Both teams are playing that third game in four nights,
so there's not really much there with that. But in
regards to special teams, and I was a little bit
shocked when I went through the teams like I always
do every night when I'm handicapped, and I'd like to
check to see if how many teams have improved the
ranking or drop down whatever we may have. The Rangers
have a better power play and a better penalty kill
than Washington, which had me surprised a bit, especially with
that Washington power play that basically has been really bad
this year. Now, the Rangers also have a little end
season revenge in this game. For one, nothing lost, mind you,
that was the first week of the NHL season. As
you said, Carmine, Washington's a one seventy favorite that just
seems to be way too high for a team that
like Washington that's basically on the skids right now. So
we're gonna take a shot here year with the Rangers
at a really nice price and what we believe is
a live dog here. Now we know it's gonna be
a close game. People. That got everybody out there who
likes to bet draws, it wouldn't surprise me. But I
mean even so at this price, I mean it's to
me for the Rangers. It's kind of too good to
pass on to make a small little play on the Rangers,
that's for sure. So now, of course I'll break down
the total for everybody wants to look at. That total
totals five and a half. Actually, the last eight games
these guys are four and fourth. That five and a
half as I mentioned earlier the only game this year
was one nothing, so we have that. And you know
when you look at these guys, when you see you're
going through your games at night and you see Washington
Rangers boom under, you just automatically kind of think that.
But this is and you might want to look at that.
I don't know. You could look at the home teams
as they're an advantage before the for Christmas, or the
way teams whether they have an advantage. There's a lot
of different ways to look at that. But because of
the spot and because of the three games of four
nights and being before Christmas, I don't really want to
bet a five and a half under. I kind of
never want to bet a five and a half under
anyways in the NHL, just the way they can empty
the net and go from three to one to five
two in a hurry. Right now, just Washington r four
and six to the under the last ten. The Rangers
are three and seven to the under the last ten.
Can't blame anybody that wants to bet this game under,
but the situation tells me be cautious if you're betting under.
We like the Rangers as a live dog tonight, guys.
Speaker 3: Buster. It's one of the few times in my life
where I have to say this to you. I agree
with you. Wow, I agree with you. I don't no,
no you.
Speaker 4: Finally I'm I'm writing that date down too.
Speaker 3: I've got it down. Write it down. Was the press
hot one Listen, you know, I get it. Washington at home.
I thought Washington had been playing extremely well. Then they
threw in a bit of a lemon. But uh, like
Logan Logan Thompson has been absolutely phenomenal this season, but
two of his last three games have not gone well
for him. You know, I think four last time out, uh,
and that was on the heels of shutting out the
Toronto Maple Leafs, who everyone is beating the Leafs. It's
kind of like the Harlem Gold Trowlers and the Washington Generals,
where the Globetrotters just win games. But the game prior
to that, he allowed five goals as well too, So
nine goals across two starts with a shutout mixed in
between against uh, the Toronto Maple Leiefs. I don't know
if if anything's affecting him, hopefully not, because uh, I
like him as a goalie. Liked him, loved him when
he was in in Vegas. But uh, I have to
agree a plus one four man. The book is dangling
a carrot and I may fall for it, but uh
every once in a while, I have to mix in
a carrot with the meat, you know what I mean.
But uh, I took any thoughts on this game, and.
Speaker 1: Karm I was just dealing with the promo code issue.
But it's all, it's all. It's all good. People don't
want me talking promo stuff too much. But you know what,
I'm a little bit frustrated as far as that one's
concerned their buster, because I don't know. I don't like
it when a team lets me down, and the Capital's
let me down the other day. They let me down,
and we've got the guys in the chat talking about it, like,
screw this team. It's going to lose back to back
games against the same team.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't have respect for that.
Speaker 1: I I I thought the Capitals were going to be
a good bet the other day, so I'm not really sure.
Speaker 2: Like I kind of lean towards the under.
Speaker 1: Just because I feel like we might see kind of
a scrappy defensive game from the Caps.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: But you're a bold man for making a play in
this game. Brother, I don't have much in this one,
so yeah, that's it's uh. I was pissed at the Capitols.
I got mad at them the other night man because
I thought they were gonna really bounce back. And when
are we gonna see regression from the Red Wings?
Speaker 2: Guys?
Speaker 1: So there's this Red Wings team gonna stay good all
year or what?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you know what, Andrew, you gotta you gotta
just throw that stuff away with you're just throw it away.
It's it's in the past. Throw it away. It's the future,
and forget about what happened on Sunday because the Capitol's
pissed you off.
Speaker 2: Go for yeah, brother, go for it.
Speaker 3: Oh no, no team is going eighty two. And oh
in the NHL, there's gonna be bumps along the road.
There's gonna be ones where if you're a parlay player
and then you add in we all guys, everyone has
been there, all right, or you add that team at
the end, you're like, oh, minus two forty, they're gonna win.
Let me bump this up from like this parlay from
you know, plus three hundred to plus four twenty and
then that's the game that loses, the last one you
put on. It is. It is why Draftking, all these books,
all these global books make money. They hate the straight betters,
they do not. They love, absolutely love the parly betters.
Buster it is. It is five dollars customer appreciation Day
at wager Talk. You know, I got a bit of
a surprise for you, like I always do, Buster, So
my good friend Andrew is going to allow you to
promo what you have up on a five dollars customer
appreciation day.
Speaker 4: Okay, thanks Starmine, appreciate that. Thank you Andrew. At the
site today, we do have our four percent. We have
some of those too. He's lots of lots of those guys.
We have a I'll just keep going, if that's.
Speaker 3: All right, keep going, keep going.
Speaker 4: We have a four percent best bet in the NHL.
You can grab that for five dollars. Also, we have
our five percent college football play loaded and this game's
on Boxing Day and we are number one at wager
Talk in five percent college football plays with profit, so
you'll want to grab that play. We're having a good
year in college football with the five percenters. I've had
a struggle in the Bowl games right at first, but
we've been haven't had our best games coming out, which
they're starting to do now, So you can grab that
over at the site. And also, guys, as you know,
there's all kinds of great deals at the site, but
there's a couple of them that expire at midnight. And
the one you can get a three day all access
and you get a day free that's up by the
site for sixty nine dollars, or you can get ten
days for ninety nine dollars. Remember they include all five
percent releases and all our releases, so those two ones
expire right away. And again thanks for making me uh
laugh there through my stuff, Carmine and Andrew and uh,
Merry Christmas. And as since you're showing the avocados, but.
Speaker 3: I had a boy buster Listen. If I don't talk
to you before the holidays, Uh, Merry Christmas. I'm not
gonna say happy Holidays. It's merry Christmas. Anyone does not
like Merry Christmas and they want happy Holidays, go somewhere else.
I am going to say what I wanted to say,
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to uh you and your
better half have a great time down there. I woke
up the snow, you woke up to Sandy Beach, so
it's pretty nice here today.
Speaker 1: And he becomes Don Cherry on the showy gee.
Speaker 3: Whatever, alright, man, good luck, take.
Speaker 5: Care of the guys.
Speaker 2: Oh Man, car respect to you for that graphic. That
was That was pretty good. That was pretty good.
Speaker 1: I like, oh it all smooth, nothing too bad, nothing
too crazy, but just it worked.
Speaker 2: It was great draft.
Speaker 1: You're doing breakdown for Buster as well. It's a bold
game to break down. You know that Capital's team. They
bothered me. But and guys, make sure you grab Busters
five percent college play as well. I know it's a
hockey show. Make sure you grab his football stuff as well. Karm,
you're rolling in NFL. You've had phenomenal years in college
football and NFL over the last handful of years.
Speaker 2: I cashed another four percent player prop.
Speaker 1: And you know, I wish people would realize the money
would spend the same whether you bet a side or
a total. Some people like the props, some people don't.
But cash another play yesterday George Kittle over sixty eight
and a half yards. He had one hundred and fifteen
by the third quarter. That was awesome. What else do
you have going karm across multiple sports over the next
few days.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have some five dollars plays for college football
and the NFL. College football has been great fifteen the
last thirty days, fifteen and two, Yes, fifteen and two,
which is number one at wager Talk with college plays,
and six and one in college bowls and the playoffs
as well too. So we're going to try and keep
that rolling with a big weekend. And there's a few
college bowl games going this week, so I'll have those
up after the show. A three pack of NHL plays
up tonight, and of course a standalone five dollars play
as well too, So four plays in the NHL. If
you use that code that we mentioned yesterday, puck Time twenty,
you can get twenty dollars off a seven day NHL
all access package as well. Andrew this game here is
this a quick revenge spot for the Carolina Hurricanes. Minus
one fifty four in this one, plus one twenty seven
on Florida. Want to make note of that time total
sits here at six. Here's the problem, and Drew with
this one. I get the quick revenge spots, and we
always talk about it. Carolina had that lead, they had
that game sewn up. And part of why I like Carolina,
I thought they needed to get over that mental hurdle
of beating Florida because this is a team that they're
likely going to meet on their run to trying to
get into the Stanley Cup. They're going to meet them.
They got knocked out in the Eastern Conference finals last year.
They failed. And now I just think that plus money
on Florida coming in here, even missing Barkov, even missing
Matthew to chuck that Florida plus one twenty seven, they're
in their heads. They're somehow in their heads. I think Colorado,
sorry Carolina needs another big game and has to beat
them this time. But it is tough when you have
them for fifty four minutes and you have them down
three goals and you lose the game. That has got
to that that's got to be something that affects your
your psyche. But I'm gonna take Florida plus one twenty
seven here. I'm not looking for any rapid revenge.
Speaker 1: I get it, you know what I mean, because it's like, Okay, look,
they had their chance to get the win, and it's
almost like now, it's like that angle that Prez talks about,
where like sometimes if a team gets a win, but
they might not feel great about that win, they're going
to stay locked in. But the way I look at it, Karma,
is like, I understand what you're saying.
Speaker 2: The revenge doesn't always work.
Speaker 1: But it's not like we have a rapid revenge spot
between the Blackhawks and the Flyers. Here we got a
rapid revenge spot that involves the Carolina Hurricanes, one of
the best teams in the whole league. But we have
seen Florida find their offense lately, Like Florida's offense look
pretty good as of late. We got one team that's
like top ten or eleven I believe expected goals, one
team that's you know, top fifteen, and but their defensive
numbers have started to slip. I'm gonna go over one
and a half goals minus won twenty five here, Karm,
we didn't see much action in that last meeting until
later on in the game. I think this game just
comes out hot, whether or not it's Carolina, whether it's Florida.
Speaker 2: I think this game.
Speaker 1: Comes out hot with a ton of chances, and would
you be shocked to see a lot of penalties in
this game. You know, teams that play each other in
a short period of time, there could be that frustration,
that anger. That's kind of why I'm looking towards the
Grand Salami because a lot of rivalry games today, and
rivalries usually lead the penalties. Penalties lead the power plays,
and power plays hopefully can take us to goals and overs.
So first period over one and a half, I'm seeing
minus one twenty five. There is a will and there's
a way we could both be happy here, carm But
I do think the over one and a half minus
one twenty five is a good spot here in Carolina
does typically play better offensively at home. Florida has been
finding their offense. You mentioned without a few guys still,
but you know what, Lindell playing well, Marshawn playing well,
Ryan Hart playing well, and a lot of guys that
want to prove themselves and get going. You know, this
is the thing about how how competitive the Atlantic Division is, Like,
you know, if Ottawa keep's playing well, Montreal playing well, Detroit, Boston,
Tampa Bay, like, Florida's got to get going before Kachuck
and Barkov are back, especially Kachuck right, You don't want
to bury your team in two dig a big of
a hole that you're not going to be able to
come back from it. Because I know Florida is elite,
but it's not going to be easy. So every win
does matter for them. I think this day gains matters
to both teams over one and a half first period
for me. And you know what I noticed, Karen, is
that I almost don't want to take over one and
a half's first period if you have like anything less
than like minus one twenty. Like there's a couple games
today where it's like minus one ten minus one fifteen
that scares me away. Like this minus one twenty five,
I don't mind that.
Speaker 3: Sure, they're trying to fish you in again. I got
the fishermen's hat on, I should the lures hanging from
the side bar, But I get it. I do understand it.
When you click on one, you think, okay, this should
be about like minus one thirty minus one thirty five,
and you say minus one fifteen, you're like, what am
I missing? Yeah, and there's something missing, but I get it.
And that was that was the sabers, and excuse me,
that was the Sabers in New Jersey the other day.
I had one and a half in the first period.
I remember clicking on and it was one fifteen. I'm like, wow,
probably ten cents shorter than I thought it would be.
That might have been a signal, but I'd let the
data drive me in in No. One. This is just
one of those ones where Andrew where when you know
you look at listen, I'm not discounting. Carolina is a
phenomenal team and they're doing what they're supposed to be doing,
which is winning games and leading the East. It's with
you know, with Florida, you would think to me, Florida
is a system team. You can plug and play players
in that system and they play well. They can score. Yeah,
they're missing they're missing Barkov. Yeah they're missing Matthew to Chuck,
but there's other guys on that team who are scoring
and contributing and that's why they're winning games. I hate
to always make it sound like I am beating down
on but it's the easiest frame of reference for me.
The Toronto maple leiefs. If you took Matthews and Nilander
out of the lineup, that is an AHL team. More
or less because there is nobody else on that team
that can contribute. This is the difference between a team
like Florida and a team like Toronto is that you
can miss some of your guys, or some of your
guys may not have having good seasons, but other guys
are picking it up. And that's the thing with Florida.
They have guys on that team, and this is why
they're three time Stanley Cup finalists, two time winners, because
they have guys on that team, and they've built a
team where you can get past the fact that maybe
one or two guys aren't contributing with the way you
want to. They're a system team and it's working fine.
And this is coming from the guy who tried to
get pal Maurice fired about eighteen times over the course
of two years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, as Stanley Cup rings are ringing, man.
Speaker 3: Speaking of trying to get guys fired, I would never
try and get this guy fired. This is and plus
I don't have that authority at wager Talk. I'm just
trying to keep my own job. Let's bring him in
the shot of Bailey's that we have every morning, Brian Leonard.
He's always a joy to see what's he brings that
wonderful hair to the shows. Guys, what's going on? Brian?
Speaker 5: I'm glad that you already talked about that hat, because
that's the first thing I saw, and I said, that
looks like one of those stupid hats that Pres wears
on the show. I don't understand the references. I know,
the black sheet thing or whatever, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm the when you got hair, like Brian, you don't
have to wear hats though, right, That's the thing.
Speaker 5: I got a lot of hats, but I don't like
to wear them because you know, they say if you
wear a hat, you lose your hair. And I'm sure
Carmine was born with a hat on.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's it. It came out sideways like that.
Speaker 2: But here, Brian, what do you think? How are you?
Speaker 1: Are you approaching it any differently? The last game, the
last games before a couple of day break. Like I know,
we keep on acting like it's some big break, but
with how condensed this schedule has been, it really is
like a little bit of a break here over the
next few days.
Speaker 3: It definitely is.
Speaker 5: I do want to touch on that, but I do
want to point out when he moved a sideways. It
reminded me if you've ever seen the Wire, great show,
one of the greatest. They're one of the greatest shows
I've ever seen. It is a white guy and he's
a count. He's in a poorer neighborhood, and they all
got their hats all over the place. And he called
the guy over to him and he says, I, I
don't how'd you get a hat like that?
Speaker 3: It was what he means.
Speaker 5: He goes, all mine goes straight forward. He goes, no, man,
you could and it'd be sarcastic. And the guy goes, no, man,
you can over wherever you want to go. Oh my god,
I can't believe that. Oh oh, thank you, thank you.
I just thought it was funny as hell being an
older guy with with people with their hats. But yeah,
I have been able to watch the entire show, and
I agree with just about everything you guys have been saying. Uh,
you have to treat today differently. And I know you
you said your big five percent was on again. You're
going to see a lot of scoring, and I think
we do see a lot of scoring today. If you
do like to play the Grand SLAMI it's the way
to do it. And I'll kind of talk about that
when I get into my write up on this game,
the Dallas and Detroite game. But yeah, it's you have
to treat these things differently. This is a total different game.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 5: Back back when I did a lot more NBA, I
would always play the veteran teams that were used to
going to the playoffs, that had leaders on this day,
and I would fade the younger teams who were just
playing well and they're in pretty good shack. And it
worked all the time. So keep that in mind when
it's on today's hockey court as well.
Speaker 1: These guys are going on vacations. They're going away for
a couple of days, going to see families. Like these
guys can hop on a flight and go anywhere in
the next you know, seventy two hours, right, So some
teams are more inpressed than others.
Speaker 3: Some of these teams have been on vacation most of
the season. Those are the ones near the bottom of
the standings. But with that said, I know our office
in Detroit is anxiously awaiting Brian's breakdown on the Dallas
Stars and the Detroit Red Wings. The Stars minus one
thirty the Red Wings plus one oh seven total sits
here at I believe it's six. Brian, how are you
breaking this one down?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I don't do a lot of totals, but this one
jumped out at me.
Speaker 3: I have no idea where that came from.
Speaker 1: That I like it.
Speaker 3: Let's try this one again.
Speaker 5: Make some of those up and send them my way.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: There are six teams in the league right now that
have forty four points for better Carolina, Detroit, Colorado, Dallas, Minnesota,
and Anaheim. Only one of those teams have I outscored
on the season, and that's the Detroit Red Wings. Only
two of those teams have played more games at home
than on the road, Minnesota and Detroit. Detroit's played seventeen
games as of late, with fifteen of those involving travel.
They head back to back home games last week and
I played the second of a back to back tonight.
Dallas has played twenty two games as of late, never
having had more than two straight home games. Needless to say,
both of these teams, along with most of the league,
has to be exhausted and to get to this break.
We talked about it. With the Olympics and everything coming up,
it's been crazy. It's been crazy. If you take a
look at today's card, there's only two games which we're
seeing at fives and a halfs. Everything else is six,
six and a halfs. I think this is a game
we're gonna see a lot of scoring in Detroit has
scored has scored four more goals in seven of eleven
games this month. Dallas has scored more goals in seven
of the last nine games, including four straight, and with
both teams looking forward to a well needed three day
break with the family, I can easily see this game
going over the total. As we've talked about this in
the past, it works the same in other sports as
it doesn't hockey. If you get tired, it's not going
to happen on office, not gon show on offense. It's
going show on defense, and there's gonna be guys that
just aren't going to get back. We've seen a lot
of it this week. If you watch a lot of
the games, a lot of teams are just tired and
they're not getting back. So we're seeing a lot of
two on one, three on one breaks, and that means goals.
And that's what I see in this one. I like
to ask Dallas and Detroit over the total. I wanted
to somewhat look at Dallas too, but the line keeps
me away from it. So I like the total better
than the side in this game.
Speaker 3: All right, you know me, Brian? And that's a great breakdown.
I'm on plus money this today for some reason. On
some of these spots, I just want Detroit to win. Listen,
what better Eastern Conference final would it be? Then? The
Detroit Red Wings and the Buffalo Sabers. Like Johnny Detroit
to come back. He came to watch a game with
his beautiful wife Paula and their true red Wing fangs.
Man for red Wind red Wing fans. It was great
watching the game with them and having dinner. But let's
go red Wings, as they say, because I know we
have some red Wing fans in our chat. Nebraska knows one.
He's a Red Wings fan and season ticket holder. I believe, Brian.
What do you got going on on five dollars customer
appreciation Day?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've got four plays up today, I've got a
bowl game. A lot of these are just going to
long to long service clients and that kind of thing.
Sixty seven percent in the balls, We've got a ball
play up, got two hockey plays up, including a side.
My top side today is only five bucks. So we've
been doing very well and obviously over ninety percent or
excuse me, over ninety unit since September eighth, I believe
it was September ninth, something like that, So we've been
on a really nice round. Every time I get right
to that hundred range, I end up with a loser.
Speaker 3: We had.
Speaker 5: We did have the La Kings last night, and that
dropped us below what I thought was going to be
one hundred. But we'll get it back today.
Speaker 3: And I do like that.
Speaker 5: And also I've got a college basketball play, another big
four percent winner wired to wire yesterday college basketball. But
the only game selling to clients is our five dollars place,
So keep in mind tomorrow. I believe they're just one
game or something. When we do have the weekend here,
if you do decide, because Buster did a nice promo
on some of the longer things that are expiring tonight,
keep in mind if there's not any games or we pass,
that doesn't count in your long term if you buy
three days or five days or ten days, that kind
of thing. So there's going to be a lot of
passing from a lot of the guys. Yep, A lot
of passing from a lot of the guys for the
next few days. So you don't need to worry about that.
Get the longer, the longer package, and it'll be better
for you.
Speaker 2: And a great deal there with that one.
Speaker 1: Save twenty five percent off anything, guys, with that promo
code x Miss twenty five that starts tomorrow on Christmas Eve,
x Miss twenty five any package, seven day, thirty day,
full season, soccer, hockey, basketball, football, whatever it is you're
interested in, x Miss twenty five twenty five. Although Xmas,
I never was a fan of that Xmas. But you
know what, we got to be a little bit shorter,
I guess with the promo codes here, guys, but never
really was a fan of x mess there Karma. I
always prefer let's spell it out. Let's not be lazy.
We all have keyboards. We'll spell it out. Christmas. And
by the way, here Brian caren me make the jokes.
But I got this bottle as a gift. I want
to go downstairs and bring this up here. Salted caramel,
not bad, not bad.
Speaker 5: I always thought Xmas was a woman who was single
and is now married. So unless she used to be
missed now she's missus, yes, x missus.
Speaker 1: A lot of those walking around in Vegas. Eh, a
lot of ex miss walking around.
Speaker 3: I'm just all I'm doing is drinking holiday flavored teas
over here, and you guys are having Bailey's. I don't
get it. But it's a twelve noon somewhere with that?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 3: Would I say, Brian if I don't talk to you,
if you have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
I'm sure I will before the New Year's because there
some NHL discussions still to go. But this man, have
a great time, say hi to Marco and the boys,
and we'll see you on the next Pucktime show.
Speaker 5: Guys, it has been a pleasure, and everybody have a
happy holiday, and let's get some winners.
Speaker 2: Today, all right, Brian, take care. Hope you're right about
those goals as well. I'll write about those goals. Let's
have a great night. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Happy holidays, Brian Leonard.
Speaker 1: Guys, make sure you find Brian of course every single
week with us here on Puck Time, Wager Talk dot Com, WTUS,
Backslash b L and again, guys, that promo code is
working now. It is working, so make sure you use
that promo save half for fifty percent off my five
percent big bet.
Speaker 2: I do have a five dollars play.
Speaker 1: Carmine has a five dollars play, but you, guys, if
you want the five percent play, it's regular price. You
have to use the promo code save half to take
fifty percent off this big bet going tonight, and Carma,
I was wondering if I would describe what the play
is going to be in the promo, and I was like, ah,
screw it. So I was like, this is my NHL goalfest.
If you like action, if you like goals, this is
the game for you. So hopefully we see a lot
of goals in that one.
Speaker 3: I do it every once in a blue moon with
one of my soccer five percent plays, where I call
it the golazzo. If you're a soccer fan, you know
the Spanish, if you watch any games from Spain, South
America or Mexico, it's golazzo. Anyways, with that said, Angel,
you had a big golazzo yesterday, a big same game
parlay winner. Give us another one.
Speaker 1: Carm I was trying to decide between a couple different
games to use for my same game parlay because there's
so many there were so many different games to use.
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, Carl, I got you.
Speaker 3: I'm just like, whatever, let's try that again. How's about
a same game parly winner.
Speaker 1: I'm just loading it up right now on my screen.
But to me, when I look at these, I've got
to say, I've started to kind of look at overall.
I look at head to head matchups, look at how
players are doing, but you need to look at games
that you think are just gonna be absolutely filled with goals.
Because even if a certain person has a good matchup
and we see guys that you know stack ups super well,
it doesn't really matter unless that game overall is gonna.
Speaker 2: Have a ton of goals.
Speaker 1: Right, And yesterday we cashed that with what was it
plus six twenty five? I think it was plus six
twenty five with the Philadelphia Flyers puck line Zegris point,
Metchkov point, and Meetchkov over on his.
Speaker 2: Shots on goals. So here's what it is for today.
Speaker 1: Here, guys, we've got just two games that we selected
here and the price is plus four fifteen. We'll see
if I can bring it up on this screen. We've
got cal mccarr to get a point and brock Nelson
to get a point in the Mammoth and the Avalanche game.
And the next one we have is Dallas Stars Detroit
Red Wings, ranton In, Hyskinin, and Wyatt Johnston to I'll
get a point. That works out to plus one point fifty.
That takes us to plus four fifteen. Caren, those are
two games that I think, overall we're gonna have some
goals in. So I decided to just say, hey, look,
you know what, We're not gonna go crazy with this.
We're gonna just pick two games that I like to
get some guys in. And this is a good one here.
So here it is for anybody out there. Cal mccar point,
brock Nelson point, Rantonin, Heyskinin, and Johnston. Yes, you can
tell I'm not really a fan of the Red Wings
because I didn't even include a Red Wing player in
that one. But it works out to plus four fifteen.
Let's cash you guys plus six twenty winner yesterday. I
think this is a good as well, plus four fifteen.
And I know it's a lot of picks for plus
four fifteen. But when you look at Rantonin, Heyskinen and Johnston,
you're not really going to get great odds when it
comes to those guys. But I do think it'll be
a great day. I like that over bet that Brian
gave out. I think that game is going to have
some goals.
Speaker 2: I do, all right.
Speaker 3: I wish you the best of luck. Nothing would be
better than finishing off the pre Christmas Puck Time shows
with back to back same game parlay and pod winners.
Andrew and I think because Andrew's our producer. Right now, Andrew,
before I do the pod, if you want to come
on full screen so people can see whether you're going
to agree or disagree to this. I'm not sure what
your plans are with the family and stuff. But how
about a Friday, even though there's no games, a Friday
Puck Time where we break down three games for Saturday
and I'll still do the six and sixty. Are you
up for it?
Speaker 2: What day is Friday? It's the day Thursday, twenty? What's
the date?
Speaker 1: What's the that's the twenty seventh, all right, that's twenty.
Speaker 2: That's Boxing Day.
Speaker 3: No, it's Boxing Day.
Speaker 1: I don't think I can do that. I don't know
if I can.
Speaker 2: Okay, I will still let you know. I'll let you know.
I'll let you know.
Speaker 3: I will still record the six and sixty and we
will have it up on you on wager Talk TV
and up on on the YouTube channel, and of course
I will tweet it out as well too on the
X So don't worry about it.
Speaker 2: I might be actually.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, you're absolutely killing me. We can always after I
will go alive.
Speaker 2: Yes, the day after Thursday.
Speaker 3: How much of that salted caramel Bailey's do you have
left there? Because apparently what's your date?
Speaker 1: What's the date? I don't care about the day. It's
the date that all that matters to me. That's what
matters is what date it is? All right, cat us
a plus money winner brother.
Speaker 3: All right, here is your pod for today. Let me
just get the timing on this right. I am taking
the Chicago Blackhawks plus one oh five to win today.
Flyers won yesterday. They're winning three on the season. In
the second of a back to back. With Widar starting yesterday,
it's going to be arsening goal zero to four his
last four starts, eight sixty four save percentage, as not good. Uh,
and a three forty one goals against average also not
very good. I get at Chicago's missing Barrard and then
somebody else took a puck to the face he's not playing,
and I think it's a bizarre to a puck to
face he's not playing. But it was probably their best
game offensively last time out when they played Ottawa, where
they scored four goals returning home. I'm looking for them
to get the win here at plus money against a
Philadelphia team They got the win yesterday but doesn't do
well in back to backs, and the goaltending advantage definitely
in Chicago's favor here. That is your pod play Chicago
plus one oh five.
Speaker 1: My guy is underdog hunting. Why are you going hunting
so much? Man, it's the holiday season. Don't be uh,
don't be killing these dogs, man, don't be uh.
Speaker 2: I get it, I get it.
Speaker 1: You're looking for this plus money tickets the bankroll builder.
You just donated a thousand bucks to charity, and now
you're gonna do it again, building this bank roll up
more and more and more.
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: Guys like this has been the epitome of bankroll management
plus moneys, Uh, favorites, you've even you've had some totals.
Speaker 2: I believe you've had some first period plays in there.
Speaker 1: One play a day goes to show that you don't
have to have a ton of plays every day to
make money in the betting world.
Speaker 3: The you know, Uh, and that's it. Uh, that's the
whole idea of the pod play is to show single
game bets it can work. Uh, you know, five thousand
dollars bankroll flat two hundred dollar bets and we're at
like seven k. So we're up like for and of
the bank roll increase already on the season. We're not
even halfway through. The idea was the first donation would
go around Christmas time to the food bank. Let me
tell you when we pulled up this morning, it was
it was kind of disheartening, Andrew, the place opens up
at nine. I got there just before nine. The lineup
of people waiting to get in to get food. You know,
we drove to the receiving area and dropped off food.
They were so appreciative. They came out, they loaded the
couple carriages of food. They want to take a picture
for their website. I did a donation on top of
that as well too, if the pod can keep going
the same way it's going, and I'm hopeful that it
will be the second donation because a lot of our
viewers are in the US as well too, is going
to go to one of the charities in Vegas. I
think it's I think the last one I did was
Wounded Warriors. You know tons of veterans. You just try
and take care of them how best you can. And
so that is the idea for me. It's kind of
a pay it forward kind of thing. So we all
do a small little part. That's all you can. You
can do. That's it for me, guys. One five dollars
play up for tonight one NHL three pack. We appreciate
you guys tuning in each and every day. I'm going
to send it over to Andrew to recap what he's
got going on, give it his promo. Please pick up
that five percent to Andrew has tonight and to all
of you guys in chat right now live and watching
later on. Have a fantastic next few days rest of
the year, Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. If
we don't see you before.
Speaker 1: Then, calm Merry Christmas. To you brother, I hope you
have a great time as well. I hope you enjoy
watching the World Juniors on Boxing Day.
Speaker 2: That's always a really fun time, and.
Speaker 1: I think that it's a really good time as well
for all of us to just be grateful, you know,
spend time with our loved ones, have a great time,
and hopefully enjoy some home cooked meals as well. But yeah,
just a five dollars play for me, and then the
five percent play as well, and of course we have
that promo code save half. A lot of you guys
have already jumped in if you're interested in my goalfest play.
Who doesn't love cheering on goals? Join me, guys from
my favorite overplay of the day. And of course we
got a big play going on Christmas Day in the
NFL because the player props continue to stay hot. We're
up around twenty three units number one at the website
out of like over thirty people in NFL player props,
so we're looking to keep it rolling, guys. Let's have
a great, great week, guys. We've got a couple of
days off here on puck time. I think since it's
the morning show, I'll be able to make it work
with carm on Boxing Day.
Speaker 2: If not, we'll get some recorded videos to you guys.
Speaker 1: Wishing you all a merry Christmas, happy holidays, all the
best and make sure you guys stay safe out there
as well. See you guys next time, same time, same
Speaker 2: Place, right here on puck time.
