Speaker 1: It is March madness, but there's also some madness on
the ice, and we have to continue breaking down some
hockey games for you guys as well.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Puck Time Wager Talk TV.
Speaker 1: We've got a great show for you guys today in
a jam pack slate in the NHL, myself, Andrew McGinnis,
Carmel and Bianco, Brian Leonard and Don Buster.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: Oh man, it feels like Christmas morning. And you know what,
if you can't get up for days like this in
the sports world, you're really a sports fan.
Speaker 2: Yes, this is a hockey show.
Speaker 1: But I'm always excited for days like this in the
world of sports.
Speaker 2: Yesterday two and one day.
Speaker 1: For me, would have liked to get that three and
zero sweep, but with how many goals got called back
for Saint Louis and air for the Calby Flames, probably
felt like the Blues didn't really deserve it. Joel Hoefer
continues to play very very well for them. We did
cash the five percent ticket. Carolina team total over three
and a half goals that went to overtime and we
did not care who won that game. The beauty of
the team totals and karm A rare prop bet for me.
That ended up being a client play and I found
it while handicapping with you on the show live yesterday,
And that was Logan Thompson saves over yesterday. Looking at
him pretty much, you know, doing everything he can to
keep that senator's team, you know, scoreless, and he did
a great job of it. Logan Thompson continues to be
great and we had him over twenty four and a
half saves.
Speaker 2: That was an easy winner. So we move on to today.
Speaker 1: It's a busier slate, but I appreciate all the guys
that hopped on board yesterday with the five percent play.
Speaker 2: Karm Good morning, man, how are you doing.
Speaker 1: I know you're not a huge basketball guy, but are
you in that same spirit as me today?
Speaker 3: Of course I am. Man. When I'm with my I'm
gonna deal with my buddies watching a little bit of hockey,
a lot of basketball, and my buddies love March Madness,
so I'll be watching some of it as well too.
It could have been in Buffalo right now, sitting in
a box and watching Michigan play Michigan and Michigan State
play in Buffalo, I believe, so that would have been
a fantastic experience. But I chose to do a puck
time with Don Buster and Brian Leonard and you, so
you maybe I should see a doctor or a psychiatrist
about that one. Congratulations on the five percent when you
came into the green room and the three the three
Old Men completely ignored you. We just wanted to give
you the cold shoulder. But yeah, some really good games yesterday.
Saint Louis didn't get it done. They lose in a shootout, unfortunately,
losing to Calgary. But a lot of the other games
went as I thought they would. Pittsburgh almost got it
done as a plus money. Dallas Stars got there as
plus money. Those were two live dogs that I liked
on the show. Obviously, the pod play the highest one
of the second highest scoring game of the night, and
it involved the New York Rangers, and we had it
as the pod play. That was a winner. We liked
the under in the Washington game under six and a half.
That was an easy winner as well too, at four
to one. So I think it was a pretty good
day overall. And then I was bored, so I stayed
up and watched the Anaheim and Philadelphia game, and that
was a pretty good game Andrew as well too. But
the thing I was most excited about, and I know
this is a hockey show and we've talked about basketball,
is my play yesterday in Champions League one. But not
only that, I put something yesterday together that I'm going
to be doing during the World Cup, which is live
betting and live betting on the soccer games during the
World Cup. And I will have a for anyone who
has my World Cup Soccer package. I'm gonna have a
discoord channel that only you guys can get, like the
live betting the plays and oh yes, I am patting
myself on the back thirteen and o live betting plays
yesterday and Champions they I'm going to be doing the
exact same thing during the World Cup. So if you
pick up that World Cup package, you'll get an email
eventually just before the World Cup from Melissa or Missy
with the details of how to get into that channel.
That'll be close to just I just want the people
who are my clients and I'll give out a few
gems on social media. But as far as live betting goes,
it is quick, Andrew, So you got to get those
plays in as soon as you can. There's no shelf
life on social media for it. With that said, guys,
we got an action pack. Andrew and I are going
to talk about Montreal and Detroit. Buster is going to
break down Seattle in Nashville, Brian's going to do the
Buffalo Sabers and the San Jose Sharks, and then Andrew,
we're going to finish it off with Utah in Vegas
in a big game at Team Mobile Arena, and then
a same game parlay for you, a pod for me
as we look to increase that money and keep it going.
With that said, Dan Alexander always gives me a hard time, Andrew,
you can come on screen. Dan always gives me a
hard time about my graphics Because I use Chat GPT
for my graphics. I think they look good. Dan's kind
of old school, so he always nitpicks on the graphics.
So I decided to dedicate the first graphic and today's
first game to Dan Alexander. So with that said, Andrew,
let's break down the Montreal Canadians and the Detroit Red Wings.
The Canadians minus one eleven at least, I was the
price last night Detroit minus one on nine total sits
here at six, huge game as far as the Atlantic
goes and playoff implications go. Is this another three point
game or is this a is this one gets settled
in sietes? Give me your take on this one, Andrew, Yeah.
Speaker 1: The funny thing is for the Montreal Canadians is you
you lose the games over the weekend against the San
Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks karm but then approaching
this week, they get the job done against the Boston Bruins,
albeit it's an overtime. Now you get another chance to
play a divisional opponent, being the Detroit Red Wings. You
took care of the Ottawa Senators last week. So the
funny thing is, although it would have been nice for
them to have gotten one of those wins against one
of the Western Conference opponents, if you're gonna save the
wins against anybody, save the wins for the divisional matchups.
And I think this is the spot where you look
at it and you have to consider the lack of
depth here with this Detroit Red Wings team. You hate
to say it, but there's not one worse time for
these players Andrew Kopp and Dylan Larkin to have both
gotten injured karm and it just makes a massive, massive difference.
I mean when you look up the middle right now,
with JT. Komfor and Emmett Finny being the top two
forward centerman for this team, it's a very very big difference.
You know, people don't realize what Dylan Larkin brings to
a lineup because Dylan Larkin might not be the.
Speaker 2: Most flashy player there is out there, and.
Speaker 1: When you look at how he plays, he is a
guy that is reliable. He takes care of business on
both ends of the ice, and I think they're gonna
miss his defensive play when it comes to this one.
So looking at this game, I kind of like Montreal,
but I think we could get some goals as well.
So you know, looking at that last game when it
was Boston versus Montreal, I talked with Buster on Tuesday
about the team total under for the Bruins, about the
full game under, and with this one, I kind of
look for maybe some more goals because you know, a
point that a point that Brian actually made on the
show a while ago. I can't actually remember which player
he was talking about. It might have been Kachuck. I
can't remember which player exactly, but when you lose key players,
a key forward on certain teams, whether it be Jack Eichel,
or whether it be Dylan Larkin, or whether it be
Nick Suzuki.
Speaker 2: You know these forwards, karm.
Speaker 1: As much as they have importance when it comes to scoring,
they also have importance when it comes to their defensive responsibility.
So because of Larkin not being there, some people might
think that you are losing offense, but you're also losing defense,
which can make things a little bit difficult for them
as well. So I like the goals here in this one.
Montreal's offense is absolutely humming their creating chances right now,
and looking at Detroit right now, their expected goals against
have only gotten worse over the last couple of games.
So I think this should be a game with some goals.
But the only thing that worries me, karm is that
there is that factor of will we see another overtime
between two divisional opponents? Will this game be two to
six minutes to go in the game, and they say,
let's go get one point each, And that's always a
worry when it comes to these type of games.
Speaker 3: I get it, Andrew, I can't get there. I can't
get to the window with the goals in this game.
And you know, I like overs. When I see an
under that I think sticks out, this is this is
one of them. The Montreal goalie is not confirmed at
the moment moment, but with the Detroit goalie is and
we know it's going to be we know it's going
to be John Gibson. You look at Gibson's last fifteen starts,
let's just go back fifteen starts. Twelve of those fifteen starts,
the final score has had six or fewer goals in them.
This sole sits here at six right now. I think
a couple of them landed on six. So he's an
under goalie. He's having a phenomenal year right now. And
I kept saying over the years, over the last few years,
the Edmonton Outers make a deal to get Gibson. Now
I get I think Gibson had a no trade clause
maybe or maybe just didn't want to come to Canada,
didn't want to play for them. But the guy is
twenty five and fifteen with four shutouts, two fifty six
goals against, average nine oh six save percentage, which is
the nine o six say percentage, probably ranks him top
five top six, I have to believe as far as
a save percentage goes, I don't know. I don't see
the goals in this one, especially because to your point
of Detroit being a little light right now with the injuries,
you know, the Dylan Larkin one. I just don't see
the goals in this game. I think it's a tighter
game between these two. I'm going to go out on
a It's not an AMPTI half thing. I'm going to
go out with a three to one Detroit victory tonight,
the third goal coming on an empty netter. How do
you like them?
Speaker 1: Would you say, Karen that, obviously we have different opinions
on the on the total, it's not a strong take
for me, But would you say that under and Detroit
correlates well? Like if I told you the score was
five three tonight, it probably doesn't work well for Detroit, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it does. But by the same token,
I think Montreal could play the perfect road game. You
could see Jacob Fowler going gold tonight and they played
the perfect game and win three to two, like one
of your two two's and it gets to overtime or
one of them three too that there's no empty adder
that pushes the total and gets there. Montreal, as fast
and as speedy as they are on the ice, can
get into some games in which they roll out that
second and third line, a fourth line that gets out
there and just MUCKs it up and shuts things down.
And when you have a team like Detroit missing some scoring,
and you can shut down some of the guys who
do score, just like Patrick Kane, Patrick kine Man, what
a game that he had the other night with a
couple of goals. I missed the empty netter for the
for the Hattie. But with that said, I think either
one of them can couldn't correlate to it, so they.
Speaker 2: It's a good point.
Speaker 1: But the bottom six for the Habs, because that's one
thing the Habs don't have right now, is still bottom
six scoring. Like when Phil Deno goes over the boards,
me and Buster aren't looking for goals from that guy.
He got traded simply to be a defensive forward. Let's
be honest. That guy has like two goals this year.
He's not an offensive guy. So it's a good point
by you when when the bottom six goes over the boards,
you're not getting that much scoring, right And that's I
think that's a big thing for the Habs. If Nixuzugi
or Cole Kawfield doesn't score, can they win games?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Well, here's the thing. I mean, I think they
still can win games. It's where the under comes in.
You're not gonna win a lot of high scoring games
if those guys are held completely off the score sheet.
But with that said, if the game tonight, ghost overtime,
before Ghosts overtime, just live bet Cole Coffield to score
in overtime. The guy is just he's got like the
puck on a string.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 3: I don't know if he made a deal with the devil,
but the guy just scores in ot When I see
a Montreal a game that I didn't watch the game,
but I see Montreal one three to two or four
to three in overtime, I'm like, all right, let me
click on it and see if it was Cold Coffield
because I'm pretty sure it is. And it just it
seems to be him.
Speaker 2: Andrew, So every time, every yeah, kudos to him.
Speaker 3: All right, another game of importance, the Preds and the Sands.
We're going from the East to the West and breaking
it down as a guy from the South don Buster,
where is he? He's getting ready for March Madness. Man, Look,
I've never seen a guy happier for March Madness than him.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, I would probably be a lot happier
if it was with my buddy Rob and that in
Buffalo tonight. But you know, things, that's pretty nice here
in Mexico weatherwise, so you know you got to have
a little give and take.
Speaker 1: Hey, glass half flat, glass half fade. That's that's the
way we like to look at.
Speaker 3: It, sir us. I feel sorry for you as I
was scraping the ice off of my car this morning
to go and get a coffee. I feel really bad
that I know you're experiencing that. I always hated that
hot weather, hated.
Speaker 4: That scraping, hated that scraping. Yeah, showing's bad too. So
just but just a quick comment. Uh, yeah, I'm being
a Montreal fan. I'm a little a little afraid of tonight. Uh.
Detroit hasn't played since Monday, and I know they've split.
This is a rubber game. Montreal did win in Detroit
and Detroit one in Uh in Montreal. But yeah, people
that played those draws, it might be a good draw tonight,
that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got a good game picked out for us here,
Buster and this game. I actually think it's kind of
interest because you know, these are two teams.
Speaker 2: That nobody really talks about too much.
Speaker 1: But shockingly enough, they're playing in some pretty interesting games
right now.
Speaker 2: In Seattle.
Speaker 1: We were talking about them on the show yesterday about
make our miss playoffs and this is a big game
for the Kraken, Uh.
Speaker 2: For them, they need a game like that.
Speaker 1: They need to hit some underdogs, uh in order to
make the playoffs here because there's teams behind them that
are trying to catch up. How do you see this
game going? And also, what the hell is the deal
with Nashville somehow playing exciting hockey? Are they just trying
to you know, encourage their fans to come and you know,
sit in the seats for the last couple of games
or what?
Speaker 4: Well, Andrew, we will talk a bit about that with
my plays today. Yeah, but you're right, see Seattle has
that last playoff spot, if I believe. But everybody's breathing
down their throat, including this Nashville club. This should be
a really good game tonight with both Like I said,
both of these teams are fighting for the playoffs now.
The thing is, though, guys, both these clubs kind of
come limping into this game. Seattle are two and five
over their last seven games and Nashville are three and
six are the last nine. Mind of these clubs just
played on March tenth. It was a Nashville four to
two victory. These teams now have two games this year,
with the Seattle winning the other one for one. So
I believe this might be the rubber. I don't think
they play again, but don't quote me on that. This
is gonna be Seattle's first game of a six game
a long six game road trip, and Nashville they come
home from a five game road trip and they play
their first game after that. Those two situations usually tell
us Seattle might be the play because of the bad
spot net for Nashville and Seattle. They you know, when
you are going on a long road trip, We've talked
about this for years. You want to play that game,
that first game. Well, but I mean this is to me,
this is a really close game. Nashville. I believe I
think you have up there one thirty five or so
in Seattle to grab that small price in Seattle. I
don't think I want to do that, even though the
situation is good for Seattle. So there's a ton on
the line here. I'm not sure I want to put
my money on either side just because of the situation,
so I will pass aside. I think it's gonna be
a great game. And just like I said about the
Montreal game, you might people are betting those draws. This
could be a good draw game too. Hopefully the draw
will be at three to three because I like the
over here. Now, I see you got six up there,
but you could still get Last night I gave out
the over five and a half over thirty and that's
still available like fifteen minutes before I came on the
show at DK and FD and a lot of spots
and a lot of spots have six under fifteen. I'm
good with this at six as well. But I do
like the over here. And you think, buster, these two
teams are dead unders. Yeah, well Andrew mentioned it not lately,
not lately at all. You look at the game like this,
you say, oh, under no problem. Seattle have played six
straight overs when they play in Nashville, they've gone over
three or the last four games and Nashville of late
have been four and two to the over the last six.
But here's a kicker for me at home. At this
number of five and a half, Nashville have gone over
nine straight times. If you want to say the line six,
they're seven and two, seven overs and then two pushes.
So again, you look at this, you think it might
be a tight playoff game. Sure enough, this could be
two to one, but I just don't see it because
of the situation. That's what makes me, you know, because
of the situation, I don't see this at all. And
one more thing I'd like to mention that might help
us over and it also kind of puts me off.
Why I'm not going to take Seattle, which they are
in the better situation. Seattle has a thirty first ranked
PK in the NHL. I'll look for Nashville and get
a couple of goals in here. Hopefully Sale does the same.
We'll take the over five and a half.
Speaker 2: Guys, Hello, oh we got to bring back home. He
wasn't in with us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, geez, yeah, it is. This is you know, like
and you we have to discuss these games because I know,
like some people will be like, there's other games. Why
discuss Seattle Nashville? But the Seattle Nashville is a good
game to discuss because this is essentially this is a
four point game, two points back. Nashville victory puts some
tied with Seattle for that final playoff spot. I'm just
not sold on Seattle. I know they can turn around.
They had a couple of wins, Andrew, but those wins
came against the Florida team that had packed it up,
a Vancouver team that's long since packed it up. I
think it was one of the reasons why I took
Tampa Bay the other night in regulation. I thought they're
gonna beat him by at least a couple of goals.
Even more, I probably should have taken the puck line
on that one, and they win that game pretty easily
six to two once they got going. But I definitely
see the goals in this one Nashville scoring buster. So
I get it from what you're saying. Went into Edmonton,
they played really well. This team hasn't given up. They
could have given up a couple of weeks ago, but
they haven't. And that West just seems to be like
the tortoise and the hair kind of thing. The teams
at the top just keep on soaring and winning, and
the teams in those sixth, seventh, and eight spots are
just crawling to the finish line. So, uh, if you
had to take one of these teams buster to make
the playoffs, if one of these two teams was going
to make the playoffs, because there are other teams that
can knock these two outs, right, which one would like?
Speaker 4: LA I would take Nashville, Definitely, I would take Nashville.
I I just I really like Soros sorrows, and I
think when everything is said and done, he might say
he might win a bunch of games down this, not
a bunch two or three down the stretch. He might
he might pull out out those wins. But yeah, definitely,
this is just a bad spot for Nashville today. You know,
I know they do have a day they got a
day off, but five games on the road is tough,
and they haven't been playing. Both teams haven't been playing
that well. So this might help Nashville if they get going.
But yeah, it's just just a tough spot and it's
a tough play on the side, There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't see the odds out for this yet,
But I've been looking at the goalie props a lot
more and I still believe the over could hit with this.
But if I get a decent number, I'm tempted to
take a look at sorrows over on saves because I
do think there's going to be a high volume directed
at him today and he like sometimes I wonder, Buster,
how much more high scoring those games could even be
if if he was even an average goalie.
Speaker 2: You know, put Tristan Jari on the Predators.
Speaker 1: They're letting up seven goals, you know, like their defense
has not been good.
Speaker 2: Sometimes we forget how much we remember Peccarine.
Speaker 1: There was Peccarine, and then the Predators feel like they
always rely on their goaltenders.
Speaker 4: Ye, that's true, and you're right Andrew that last game,
I believe there's like that Nationale one. I think there's
like seventy two shots on goal in that game, which
that's almost unheard of between these two clubs.
Speaker 3: Crazy, Buster, I know you are absolutely jacked, ready to
go for the March madness, but you're also completely focused
on NHL as well too. What do you got to
promote today?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Carmine, thirty five minutes to lift off here. I'll
have about three screens going. My wife already knows that
I will be in the house for basically Thursday, Friday,
Saturday and Sunday Saturday night. I might get out late.
So what we have is of course the March Madness package.
Great deal that the Powers to Be have at wager
Talk every game of the March Madness, the Big Dance,
n It, the College Crown that's being outplayed in Vegas
and April. All those games, including any five percent plays
only one hundred and forty nine dollars. And you might
want to go over and grab our package today. As
tomorrow and the game starts early, we have a five
percent play and the Big Dance for tomorrow. It's an
early start. You should go over grab that package. What
a great deal one fortne for the March Madness. I
also still have that NHL MLB package get all the
NHL right to the end of the year, every MLLB game,
and that's on the site, but it's only there till Wednesday,
So yeah, looking forward to it. I know brother Brian
who's coming on here this year. I didn't make it
to Vegas. I usually go for Thanksgiving and me and
Brian we go out and watch basketball all the time
because there's all these little tournaments either at the Orleans
or I think we went out to Henderson the one time.
So yeah, I really really looking for the college basketball.
And of course one of my TVs will have the
Montreal Detroit game on later tonight.
Speaker 3: All right, to Buster, I wish you the best of luck.
Your wife can also your home for four days, or
your wife can also grab your package if she wants.
Just stay out of the just stay out of it.
Whatever you do, just stay out of the Banana bar,
because yeah, we don't. You don't want another scene like
what happened a few years ago where it was like
a hurricane. Buster tore through it and it took at
least a month to recover in that place, replacing TVs, tables, chairs,
pretty much everything Andrew. How one guy could completely destroy
a bar is beyond me. But listen, I wish you
the best of luck on your five percent play and
head over to wager Talk and you can find all
of Don's stuff on his page user Best of luck, brother.
Speaker 4: Yeah, best luck to you guys.
Speaker 1: Enjoy March badness, everyone, Hey, take a shot every time
a handicap or tell someone to grab their package.
Speaker 2: It's all right, it's all good to do, but we
wouldn't make it through.
Speaker 3: We wouldn't make it through the show. And Press is on,
it's like grab poa.
Speaker 1: I feel like we never have to worry about hr
stuff because well, nothing we ever say will compare to
anything Press as ever said. And I know he's an owner,
but he still does shows, so we can make a
joke every now and then.
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to it today.
Speaker 1: Actually, it's kind of funny because obviously it's March Madness
in the States, but it's March Madness hockey version for
university hockey in Canada. So where I live, they're actually
hosting the National Hockey College Tournament and I'm actually covering
the teams for the local stuff here and they have
odds up for it. So this is how you know
we're evolving here even in Canada, because there's odds up,
and similar to what they're doing with college basketball where
they have like a four teams versus the field, they
actually did that for some of the local teams here
where I live as well, So it's been a big
difference for people, you know, betting on college sports in
the States and now they can do it here as well.
And you hate to say it, but sometimes it does
help put butts in seats if you get people an
opportunity to get some to get some action down. And
speaking of which, karm, you and I are seeing the
board well in NHL, and that deal is still available.
The hat Trick special is available, and the Bogo special
is still available. So if you guys want to get
every single play that I release and CAR releases in
the NHL for three days, get it in one package.
Don't buy just one play, get that one package. WT
dopas backslash c B for Carma and Bianco or AM
for Andrew McGinnis, and you guys can get all the
plays we release in Hockey CAR. We always joke around,
man sometimes if you go four and one but you
lose the big play, should you be happy? Of course,
if you went four and one, are the clients happy, Well,
they probably put more on the big play.
Speaker 2: We encourage people.
Speaker 1: To be involved with all of our plays, not just
the big one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I think it's good. I got a lot
of people that purchased like long term packages, you know,
everything from thirty days to ninety days to to you know,
the full year packages. And you know when I talk
to them, you know, I make sure they you know,
they're able to DM me on Twitter and we talk
about plays, even ones I don't have. They can bounce
other stuff off of me that I may you know,
I may have an opinion on, but I always say
it's I will I will rate myself at the end
of the season and not over like a couple of days,
because if I did, I'm the best when I go
thirteen one in one, but then I'm the worst when
I go like one in six on the weekend, and
then this whole week I've lost one plate out of
like I think eight. So it's just it's ebbs and flows.
I will wait until the end of the season for
each sport and rate myself there. It's it's similar to
like college football. Before we bring in Brian, I didn't
know how well I was doing college football. I knew
I was having a good season college football. I think
I finished second as far as call the college football
playoffs and the bowl games, and I think I finished
fourth on the season, fourth or fifth in college football.
And we have some phenomenal college football Betters at wager
Talk and Coppers. Speaking of which, what a perfect segue.
Let's bring in Brian Leonard.
Speaker 2: What a segue.
Speaker 1: I want to Happy March, Brian, Happy March nineteenth.
Speaker 5: Great, great to see you guys. It's funny you made
the comment about grabbing my package. As soon as he
said that, I'm grinning, you know, I said, oh my God,
got my package.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But it's this is the This has been probably the
longest non NHL information in the last ten minutes. So
I'm gonna get right to my game. We'll do We'll
do any bragging or our promotions after that. But I
chose this game because the whole theme of the show
all week really has been the surprise this NHL season
has been. And here we got the Buffalo Sabers and
San Jose Sharks, two teams having really good seasons, and
Buffalo will used the other day they played they played
the Golden Golden Knights out here in Vegas. We talked
about that game about how well they've been playing. You know,
they look to continue their dominance on the road tonight.
Just an incredible run. We talked about that the other day.
I think it was what seventeen to two and one.
I was like eighteen to two and one if I'm
correct on that off the top of my head. But
it's just a team that's been playing terrific. Hotey on
the road. Ax Lion is in goal tonight now. He's
won nine straight road games, just too off the NHL record.
So even though they just beat Vegas, I think these
games continue to be something that Buffalo wants to do.
They want to set the record because of that, So
I think they're going to be coming to play tonight.
Obviously they've been playing very well, but these clubs just
spent nine days ago in Buffalo. The Sabers won the
game six to three. It would not surprise me to
see another high scoring affair here. Even in that Buffalo
game where they beat Vegas to nothing, there was a
lot of open ice in that game. The goalies did
a really nice job in that game. So I expect
this to be a wide open game. If you like
to play the total, I'd like to play the over
six and a half. I think that's pretty good bet
as well, But we'll stick to the side on this breakdown.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 5: You take a look at what Buffalo's done They've had
vavorable schedules of late, playing just five games in the
last eleven days. They've had no back to back situations,
but it does come to an end. On Saturday and
Sunday they take on the Kings and the Ducks on
the road, So this is a game they need to have.
I like them in this situation. This is the first
game back home from a two or three road trip
for the Sharks. They play here as well on Saturday,
and then they gotta go back on the road for
three more games. They're currently sitting in tenth place in
the Western Conference, but just a single point out of
eighth place, and I believe they played one less game
in that regard, so they're right there on the edge
of the playoffs schedule playoff series here, and that's another
thing that would be a huge deal in San Jose.
I love the future of this team. I love the
future of both these teams, but this would be something
else that they can make the playoffs this year. But
while Buffalo is in really great shape right now for
the postseason, this young Sharks team may be feeling a
bit of pressure here and that's not something they've done
in this program for a few years now. Buffalo has
been playing the best hockey in the league for a
long time, and I just don't want to jump off
with that train right now. They've been playing so well
and now that they have that record, had well, maybe
they'll continue to give a hundred percent effort every time
they're out there because they've been very consistent. Love what
the Sharks have done on the season, but I don't
think this is a good spot for them tonight, first
game back home. I'd like the stabs and it's a
reasonable line.
Speaker 2: I got a question for you analytically, Brian.
Speaker 1: Do you think that when a team is playing against
teams that are having good goals get goaltending success like
Buffalo can be right now? Obviously they're playing well overall,
but analytics wise, when do you decide that this guy
is riding a hot hand, I'm going to continue to
go with it, or this team is giving up, you know,
having almost like overachieving in goal. And I compare a
lot of the way I approach goaltending stats with pitchers
in baseball at what like when I watched that Vegas
in Buffalo game, you and I were on different sides,
and that one with our breakdowns. And I was happy
with the way Vegas played against Buffalo. But there's a
certain time and place where you just say the goalies
are playing well, the goalies are playing well. When do
you differentiate when it's time to hop off or continue
riding these goalies?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think a lot of it has to do
with being able to watch the games, because just because
you get a good, say percentage of the game and
how many goals you've given up, in reality, Buffalo did
not score a real goal in that game. Hill was
late getting into the goal and it slipped in. That
was his fault. That was nothing Buffalo did there. And
then the other one was the empty net goal at
the end of the game. So even though if you
watch the game, it was clear to me that it
was an over over should have should have hitt in
that game, but it didn't. And you've got to be
able to play every game for what you learn going forward.
So and I talked about that before that game, how
well Hill was playing lately. And the thing is tonight,
we don't know who so early, I haven't heard anything
about who's going to be in goal for Vegas, but
that's something if you're going to bet that game. I
think you need to wait because Hill right now, because
he's playing so well, you want him in there. Schmid
hasn't played in what five games in a row. I
don't want Vegas if Schmid is in goal because and
fromrom a total standpoint also, So that's something I would
recommend it you waited for later on to bet that.
But yeah, in baseball, I don't I don't think it
means as much because you're only pitching one out of
every six days. You're playing different teams. Sometimes you're playing
in America League teams that's see you all the time.
Some teams you're playing Nation League teams you might see
once or every once in a while. So yeah, it's
a little bit.
Speaker 2: I met more so like X e R a versus
e R. It's kind of what I meant.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that kind of thing does make a difference.
And baseball seat is only six days away, the full
seats the full season starts on next Thursday. And I
talked about it there that Pictureless sends this thing out
now and you've got to join them on the excerpt
or Twitter or whatever. But they've got these charts. They
tell you not only what the results were in the game,
but how they graded it based on his stuff in
the game, his location in the game, and his velocity
in the game and how the ball did moved it all.
So it's sort of like when I handicap college football.
I always look at game scores. There's people out there
that have game scores, and that's a way to second,
you know, get your verification on how the final score
played out. So a lot to do. You know, this
is a hard job capping and making money for your
clients and making money for yourself, So got to take
advantage of everything out there, and you know there's something
you've got to take a look at. So it's just
not one number. You've got to go back and look
at smart things.
Speaker 3: Also, Bran, at the end of the day, I was
just looking at the updated prices on this one, and
you talked about the Sabers great run. Normally you would think,
like any other time a team like let's say Buffalo
coming off a win in Vegas, who are respected team
and they're supposed to be a very good home team
as well too, that this would be like a bound
spot win in Vegas and then go out to San Jose.
But the Sabers just haven't been playing like that. You
mentioned like they're they're running the road. They're ten to
oh to one their last eleven road games, and the
game they lost they had loot a goal with like
twenty five seconds left in Tampa Bay and then lose
the game in ot or they'd be a perfect twelve
and oh or eleven and oh on on the road.
It's phenomenal run for the Savers for a team that
at the beginning of the year just couldn't win a game,
especially on the road, to save their lives. But one
should be the right price here, even though this is
Santos eight team that looks like they might be running
out of some steam. Yeah, they.
Speaker 5: Have the going to and three on that road trip.
Granted you go San Jose on that road trip and
go two and three that it's not bad, but they
really that's not getting them any farther up than the standings.
So they needed to really have a winning one. And
this was like I said, this is a tough spot,
and you're right, and I mentioned that that buffalo coming
off of that and say, well maybe they'll have a
lot down here. But with him going for that record
and as close as these guys are, and any team
is close when you're winning, and this is a young
team that's winning. We saw that in the World Baseball Classic.
These young players I'll get together. Even the veterans that
forty year old guys in Major League Baseball just couldn't
get over how exciting it was. So I just don't
want to stand in the way of Buffalo tonight, and
to get him on that price range I think is
the way they've been playing. I mean that to me
is a little bit of a bargain.
Speaker 3: Awesome. I'm looking forward to it. It'll be one of
the games that I am watching tonight, of course, because
I am a Sabers fan. And in eight short days
I will be meeting up with Johnny Detroit and his
lovely wife who's celebrating her birthday today. And happy birthday, Paula.
Hopefully Johnny spoils her and takes her to not to
watch March Madness, but to a nice steak restaurant with
a nice bottle of wine, which she enjoyed.
Speaker 5: You should have thought of that before they got married.
I should have picked a different way. Yeah, birthday, Kelly
would have shot her husband if he wanted to get
married on Super Bowl the.
Speaker 2: Weekend or birthday.
Speaker 3: I feel bad. Kelly invited all of you guys to
the super Book at West Kate where they're having a
big party today, and I'm stuck here in the snow
Andrews stuck on the in Narnia on the east coast
of Canada.
Speaker 5: May I may go, And if I go, I'll maybe
I'll do a shot for you.
Speaker 3: God bless you man, Brian. What do you got to
promote for March Madness and the NHL.
Speaker 5: Yeah, as we talked about, I've got that baseball special
going on right now by our baseball season which starts
in six days, Number one all time in baseball, number
one all time in the NHL. We'll give you the
rest of the NFL season for free if you do
buy that. That's still going on for a few more
days here. It's obviously basketball is the big thing today.
I've been really really having a nice run in basketball,
running nice run and everything. Basically seven to one our
last eight plays overall. The only loss was a one
percenter that I gave my seasonal clients on plus six
fifty Underdog. So really it's been quite a run here.
We've been on a really good run and everything. I
had a four percent yesterday on an underdog in the
Big Dance that won game out right, You've got another
big four percent going for you today. Three players in
college basketball today like this Buffalo game. This may be
the only game I use in hockey today. So we'll
have to see. But we still got plenty of time.
I do want to take a look at the goalies
and what's going on. But a big day for everybody today,
and I'm looking forward to get out here and watch
the games. And yeah, if I go down and say
see Kelly, I'll say hello for you guys, yep, I.
Speaker 3: Have a shot to get her a free shot for me.
You're not there if it's a free as many as
you want you. I think ariol is down there as
well too, with one of her friends who's in Vegas
for the first time, So that should be interesting. But Brian,
a quick question for you before Andrew and I get
back to uh talking to hockey Miami Ohio. They win,
they win, They're into the dance. I think they played Tennessee.
Unless it's a play of yours, do they have a
shot to knock off Tennessee. Or is it like one
and done that's likely going to be a play of mine. Okay, yeah,
but okay, good luck.
Speaker 5: I always rove from my homestaates, my the Mac, the
Big Ten, those kinds of things back from then. So yeah,
I'm very happy for him. Well, this is a perfect segue.
Speaker 3: Guys. If you want to know about Miami, Ohio and
what Brian's play is, head over and grab his package.
Speaker 5: So Brian today, please don't grab my package.
Speaker 3: Okay, yes, yeah, don't only grab it on the website online.
So Brian, listen, I wish you the best of luck
during March Madness. Thanks for doing double duty this week,
and uh we'll see you next week. Have a great
March madness, my friend.
Speaker 5: Appreciate it. Congratulations, see you both.
Speaker 2: Keep up a good word, all right, Brian. Thanks.
Speaker 3: I thought it was a good segue.
Speaker 1: Andrew, what do you think a lot of package grabbing
on this show here today so far? You know what,
It's a great day today, guys. And look, I'm gonna
say this. I've talked about this before on the show
during NFL season, and I felt victim of this as
someone that talks hockey and watches hockey NonStop on NFL Sundays.
I was a bit guilty for years of forgetting about
hockey and not handicapping the three or four games that
they would have on tap. This is a time where
you do not want to forget about the sports you're
already locked in on just because there's excitement going on elsewhere.
And look, if you're a high volume guy, you're a
high volume guy. But here's one other thing I'm gonna say.
All that matters at the end of the day today
when you go to bed tonight is that you have
a w next to your results. So whether or not
you were you play eight games or you play three,
all you care about is the wins, right, So don't
look at the big board today as an opportunity to
bet fifteen games. Look at the big board as an
opportunity to find a couple winners.
Speaker 2: That's the way I see it.
Speaker 1: But Car, it's still a big day in the NHL,
and I'm still looking forward to it. I have a
free play in college basketball actually up at my page
WT dot bus slash am which I'm looking forward to. Actually,
why don't I just give it out on the show
right now? The free play Troy and Nebraska over one
thirty seven and a half. That's Troy Nebraska early games
start over one thirty seven and a half. And I
do have a best bet team total college Basketball for
later on today. But karm you know I'm gonna get
in the mix with March Madness for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I wish you the best of luck as
well too. And just before we do the next three segments,
which we got to get through quickly because I have
a chiropractor's appointment today at twelve thirty. For those asking
about Europe, I have a Europa League four percent play
up for today. You can get it over at wadrew Talk.
And I also do like today as Roma. It's an
all Italian knockout stage Leg two. I'm taking Roma minus
one thirty seven. That's not the play at wager Talk,
but that's a play that I like, So you guys
can follow along if you'd like. With that said, it
is the Mammoth and the Golden Knights, Andrew, I'm gonna
say this, I'm gonna make this quick. I have respect
for Vegas and how they're playing, but they're they are
getting drawn into a playoff, a playoff race that they
should never have been in. But I get it injuries,
mark Stone, I think Utah is a live dog here.
I've I've seen Utah play Vegas tough in the past.
Plus one to eleven, I feel similar to the game
with Dallas. Dallas going in to Colorado yesterday, I thought
a low plus plus money price, they are a live
dog here. And Utah's in that playoff mix as well too.
When you get to those ones, these aren't These aren't
games against you know, these are games in which I
want to take dogs. I think are a lived because
they're not games of a team in a playoff spot
against a team that is finished, that is bottom three,
and I may have packed it in for the season.
Neither one of these teams is have packed it in.
But there's no guarantee that Vegas Golden Knights are going
to make the playoffs. If they lose a couple more games,
they're going to be in that that wild card area
Andrew that seventh and eighth spot. I'm taking the Mammoth
tonight to pull off the I guess it's gonna be
a small upset because because of the price. Give me
the one eleven, yeo.
Speaker 1: Carl I'm gonna stick with the total here and go
with the good old fashioned Vegas home over one and
a half first period. It feels like it's been a
while since we've talked about the over one and a
half's in the first period here with this Vegas Golden
Knights team. But when it comes down to it, for me, look,
I lost on Vegas against your Saved the other day.
That's how life works, similar to yesterday with the Blues game.
I mean, you get a goaltender playing very well, but
your offense just can't get some goals on the board.
That's what happens. But I do think if they stick
to how they're playing, this Vegas team can score and
the Mammoth right now, they've got an offense playing well.
But if Amelca is starting, he's one of the worst
current form goaltenders on the slate today. So I feel
like we could see both teams get involved early on.
This to me is an over, but not just a
full game over. I think first period over. This is
one of those ones where if you're looking at the
analytics versus looking at the scoreboard, you realize that Vegas
and Utah have actually been playing in some exciting games recently,
so despite and Brian said it himself a few moments
ago that, hey, it was a two to one score
line or a two nothing score line. But this is
one of those spots here for Vegas where we think
that they could still put some goals on the board.
But Utah is playing some good hockey as well. So
over one and a half first period is the move
for me in this one. And I will say that
when it comes down to the board today, I actually
like the West Coast games better than the East Coast games.
And usually I don't know, lockharm, I'm more of an
East Coast guy, but well you know why, because I
follow those games probably a bit more. But I got
a couple of plays I like today in the West
Coast card.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Andrew, I don't blame you. The race. The races
are real. This is great. We're less than a month
from the NHL playoffs and the season being over, and
you look at the Western Conference there are what four
maybe five, I think five teams separated by four points
for that last playoff spot, and both these teams have
seventy six points. So even though Utah is in sixth place,
they're essentially in seventh place because the top three spots
in their division are pretty much so they're sewn up.
It is Colorado Dallas and Coloro Dallas and Minnesota. So
you need three from the you need three from the Pacific,
and right now it's Anaheim, Edmonton and the Vegas Golden Knights.
But a team like the La Kings that you picked
to make the playoffs, if they, if they, if they
get on a bit of a run and pass Vegas,
who there are only think five points back of Vegas
essentially is one of the wild card teams trying to
get into the playoffs. So that's why this is a
huge two points tonight. It's a much more important game.
I think, well, I think it's important to both. But
if the Vegas Golden Knights cannot lose home games because
not playing well on the road, but they've lost seven
of the last ten games and Utah after that a
terrible run, Nobody I didn't see it coming. They go
into Dallas and beat a hot Dallas team six to three,
Maybe that sparks them. Maybe that is what the doctor ordered.
So going into Vegas and upsetting in Vegas at a
short plus price wouldn't be a shocker considering the fact
that they went into ll beat a very good Dallas team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the question, is pretender or contender. Was that
a real win or was it just a bad game
for Dallas. We'll find out. We'll find out tonight.
Speaker 2: Karen. For the props stuff today, I'll tell you yesterday
you want to.
Speaker 1: Talk about a game that can really bother you, Like
eleven goals in that game for Carolina and Pittsburgh, And
of course I had a shot prop in the same game,
parlay the shot props. I'm so up and down with
these because when they're good, they're good. When they're bad,
they just absolutely slap you in the face. Because if
you took any point parlay in that game yesterday, you
probably made money. Crosby, Malcolm Rust, Jarvis Fechnikov, all these
guys scored pretty much. But I Hasnikov with his shots.
He didn't get the job done for me. But this
is the graphic for today. Just one and done here, guys,
these teams just played each other the other day and
the Wild got the job done against them. Look at
these numbers here against defenseman. The Chicago Blackhawks ranked twenty
eighth in the league. Against defenseman. They are thirtieth ranked
in the league in goals allowed. Here this is courtesy
of hof app dot com, the Hall of Fame sports
betting app, which I love using very much. If you
guys take a look at the odds here, you can
get Quinn Hughes over two and a half shots on
goal at minus one oh five at DK And if
you want to get him to score a goal for
US tonight, the number is plus four twenty five plus
four to twenty five. This is going against a bottom
three team as far as goals allowed against defenseman. So
if you're looking for a guy tonight, maybe Quinn Hughes
is your guy for prop betting.
Speaker 3: All right, I like that, Andrew. Let's make some money,
and let's make some money on this pod play. So,
without further ado, after yesterday's win, here is tonight's pod play.
I am taking the Columbus Blue Jackets on the puck
line minus one and a half plus one twenty to
beat the New York Rangers Rangers on the second of
a back to back quick lit up yesterday tonight it
is igors just circing confirmed for them, but as I mentioned,
second of a back to back sixteen, two and four
are the Columbus Blue Jackets since making the coaching change,
and if you look at their last ten wins on
home ice, they have covered the puck line in eight
of them. Tonight that becomes nine and two in their
last eleven wins covering the puck line. Give me Columbus
minus one and a half plus one twenty as your
pod play. What do you think mckinnis, Are you.
Speaker 1: In Columbus team just like your Sabers team. This Columbus
team cannot stop winning. So at this point I do
not blame you at all for that play. It's a
good price, it's a good spot, and I'm a fan
of that quite a bit. Larry says, is that full
season or recent on the hlf app stats, that is
full season numbers against the Chicago Blackhawks the matchup stuff
there so, but of course you can look at last five,
last ten stuff as well. But pretty much Chicago does
not do well against defenseman, is all I was saying
there with that breakdown car Mines pod once again minus
one and a half Karen free play for me Troy
and Nebraska over one twenty seven and a half. I
do have a best bet team Total college Basketball tonight.
We also do have a best bet NHL play at
wager talk dot com.
Speaker 2: That's it for me, brother, What do you have going on?
Speaker 3: Yeah, as I mentioned, one Europa play, one NHL play
which will be up in the next half hour or so.
One NHL play. It's a best bet, and may I had
a second one. I'm waiting for some goalie confirmations and
player confirmation I want to make sure that if I'm
going to rate it four percent, that it is everyone
who's supposed to be there is there. So it could
be a two pack up tonight, but at least one
and big play coming up soon as well too, so
take advantage of that by three get three if it's
still available. And of course the NHL and soccer you
can still get the rest of the NHL season and
the World Cup all the World Cup plays in the
deal section and on my page. That's it for me.
Andrew don Buster, fantastic job today. We thank him for
coming on. Brian Leonard as well too. For myself and Andrew mcinness,
this is put time. We will see you on Friday.
Hopefully you guys have made a little bit of money
in NHL and March Madness. Take care, guys, have a
great one.
