Speaker 1: NHL Best Bets for Tuesday, January twentieth. Guys, welcome to
Puck Time on wager Talk TV. Some great games to
get to today. Myself, Andrew mcguinnis, carm And Bianco and
Lawrence Pressman here to break things down. We're gonna have
sides totals, We're gonna have props, we're gonna have plays
of the day, We're gonna have single game breakdowns, all
kinds of good stuff for you here on this busy
Tuesday slate. Carm, good morning, brother, how are you.
Speaker 2: I'm doing well, Andrew. It's funny man. Just before you
came in, I was talking to Pres backstage and we
talked about like puck luck and bounces and like yesterday
would have been could have easily been one of those
nights in which I get no sleep because I'm so
pissed at how my games went. But I had the
luck on my side. I will admit, you know what
I mean. I released very early the play which most
people bought it early on the College championship game when
the total came out and it was forty eight and
a half. It closed the forty seven. The game lands
on forty eight, so you know I went either even
could have been even a safety in the last couple
seconds of that game, which is sickening. But then the
last two games of the night, I had four percent
best bets on both Anaheim and the New York Islanders,
and in the third periods those games could have gone
either way. Vancouver could have won that game because they
were playing well, and the Rangers could have won that
game as well too, But I end up on the
right side of both games. We talk about the ebbs
and flows of sports betting, and that could have easily
gone zero and three on those plays and had a
miserable night's sleep I went through. And also I'm kind
of happy about that. But man, a good slate of games.
It's five dollars Tuesdays at wager Talk. There's a ton
of handicappers that have five dollars plays up with some
great promos them, so please, guys, take advantage of it
if you can. But with that said, the Leafs don't
play tonight, so I stuck our guests with someone other
than the Leaves tonight. Let's bring them in the one,
the only the.
Speaker 3: Press, Good morning Press.
Speaker 4: What's going on over there?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I got to do the Dallas Boston game. But that's
great because I absolutely love this game.
Speaker 4: I have a bet in this game. I have a
bet I'm gonna make in this game. So I'm pretty pumped.
Perfect chose this game.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna ask you go ahead, card.
Speaker 2: No, no, I was gonna say before that, what were
your thoughts like on any of the games? Let's say,
like last night or even the College Football Championship because
it's the last chance we get to speak about the
College Football Championship. It was a fantastic game.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I'm married, so I don't have a lot
of thoughts Vivia, and am I allowed to think today?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 5: Yeah, she gave me the thumbs up, so I can
think now, ah, morning, PRIs or what an awesome morning.
So I did not watch the college Championship game. And
people always say to me, you know, like the super Bowl.
I don't watch much of the Super Bowl. Why because
it's over. I get I gather no information, there's no
opportunity to make a bet tomorrow. And I don't give
a rats piece of poo poo who wins any of
these damn games. I'm not a fan of Indiana. I'm
not a fan of Miami U. I'm not even a
fan of the the amount of attention played on children
trying to get an education while playing sports. So none
of it I care about. But I did win my bet.
I came on here. I begged you, guys, I said,
this is one of those ones.
Speaker 4: You heard me.
Speaker 5: I was like, here, I don't I promote, and I
beg when I promote. Okay, don't buy my play when
I beg when I plead.
Speaker 1: And I got to give you credit because as much
as you didn't get all the way there with it,
you pretty much said everything but take the wild yesterday.
You hovered around it, you lean towards it. You pretty
much the old people without saying it. So I got
to give you respect for that press you did call
that in the wild Andrew.
Speaker 2: If only once we could, we could have the press
come on here and say I am betting against the
Leafs and I am releasing a play against the Leafs.
Take whoever team whatever.
Speaker 4: Okay, it was close. Next time, might come on. We're
betting against.
Speaker 2: Sph boats, Steve on the twenty seventh, The twenty seventh
is the perfect day. Next Tuesday, next five dollar Tuesday,
they play the Buffalo Savers.
Speaker 5: Yeah hell no, Uh, Steve Kohler writes, I love you
or percent late for today too, Thank you, Steve, And
I'm going to get to my ur percent play because
that is another BEG situation. Uh yeah, So I had
the under twenty three and a half in the first
half of the Indiana game. I did peruse a bit,
but I'm on episode six of The Night Manager season
one and it's spectacular. So I had the game on
in the background with no volume, and I had my
headphones on and my iPad watching my actual show. Because
honest to god, I am sick of sports. I am
not sick of finding betting opportunities, but I don't consider
myself a sports guy. I am all about making money.
I don't care what the sport is. I don't need
to watch it. I don't even care.
Speaker 4: If I like it.
Speaker 2: With that said, and I know you haven't started yet,
all ten episodwords or land ten of Landman is absolutely
phenomenal sat in Texas, where the Dallas Stars play Tonight's
minus one fifty seven the Boston Bruins plus one twenty nine.
The total sits here at six. Where are you going
with this one?
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 4: Well, firstly, hats off to the Boston Bruins.
Speaker 5: Okay, so we really all accept expected this team to
have an off year coming in. They've gone through transition,
they were a great team for two decades, they did
not have a lot of draft capital, and yet here
they are twenty eight nineteen and two on the season,
firmly positioned to make a run in the playoffs, and
winners of six in a row. And not just six
in a row, guys, they won those games handily. The
only game they didn't win handily was in Pittsburgh, won nothing,
but inside of that, they even beat the Rangers ten
to two.
Speaker 4: They've covered the puck line.
Speaker 5: In ever in five of those six games, everyone but
the one against Pittsburgh. Now, with that said, if you
look deeper into the numbers, they are about to fall apart.
Their power play has been keeping them alive the last
two games.
Speaker 4: They've done well.
Speaker 5: A penalty kill mediocre, but they're really not getting the
possession time in the offensive end that they were getting
at the beginning of their streak.
Speaker 4: They're not getting the shots on goal.
Speaker 5: To give you perspective, they had forty one shots on
goal against Detroit, held Detroit to twenty four. Chicago they
were out shot twenty four to twenty three. Seattle they
were out shot twenty eight to twenty four. I think
what we're seeing here is a team that is coming
out of a long winning streak and a team that
I'd like to look to fade. When you take a
look at the Dallas Stars, I think it's literally the
opposite scenario. This Dallas team came out of the gate flying.
They have now lost three in a row. They've put
up one goal in each of those three games. They've
lost four of their last five, and they've lost eight
eight of their last ten.
Speaker 4: It feels to me like this and and they're and
they're not. They're not like a walking injury team.
Speaker 5: It's not like we can sit there and figure out
why why are the are the Stars playing as bad
as they are of late? I think this team is
at home in that second game, and that is important.
Speaker 4: We talk a lot about how tough it is to
go on a long road trip with Dallas. My apologies
Dallas is a yeah. They went.
Speaker 5: They played Carolina, Washington, San Jose, La Anaheim, Utah, all.
Speaker 4: On the road six games.
Speaker 5: Then they played Tampa Bay on their game back, they
lost for to one. Everybody loses to Tampa Bay. Take
them on the puck line today as well, and now
they're in that second game back. The second game back
is always interesting to me after a long road trip.
I like the Stars tonight, and I like them in regulation.
Speaker 4: I like them on the money line.
Speaker 5: I think they win this game and I think they
do actually get some freakin' goals. So the Dallas Stars
for me, brother.
Speaker 4: That was a long breakdown.
Speaker 2: Whoever, that was three minutes and twenty seconds. That is unbelievable. Yeah,
but I agree with you on the second game back
after a long road trip. We've seen it before. We
saw the Leaves was only a four game road trip.
But Many got the better of them yesterday and looked
like the better team throughout that game. As an aside,
I hate games on Prime Video. It's just the commentating,
the pregame, the innerisions is just terrible. I hate give me,
give me Bizz. I want Biz Nasty in there man
talking to NHL Hockey, especially because he's a Leaf fan. Prez,
What do you got the promote? Man?
Speaker 4: Yeah? So I got a begging play.
Speaker 5: I got one of those plays that I plead, beg
and insist that you guys take advantage of. In all seriousness,
I last week I came on the show on a
Tuesday and I said, guys, I gotta play.
Speaker 4: I'm begging you guys to play it. I'm pleading with you.
Speaker 3: It won.
Speaker 5: Yesterday I got on the show. I'm begging, I'm pleading
it won. Same situation, guys. There are plays that I
consistently win at and these are one of them. I've
got a four percent NHL money line bet now. To
give you perspective, ninety percent of my bets are two
and three percent bets, ninety nine out of ten, maybe
even more than nine out of ten. So these four
percent plays are rare. I am like sixty two percent
on them in the entire year. I've also won five
in a row, but that's nothing. These big NHL bets
are on a nine and one run, and they are
forty two and seventeen forty two.
Speaker 4: I can't even do it with my hands.
Speaker 5: Forty two and seventeen sixty seven percent since twenty twenty two.
I am begging you guys to join me tonight. It
is only five dollars. Please please please.
Speaker 4: Join me tonight on display. Okay, my begging is done.
Thanks for having me, boys.
Speaker 2: It would be hilarious if we had a code ready
for Andrew for pres BEG five. BEG five gets you
five dollars off. Press is five dollars plate tonight you.
Speaker 4: BEG five.
Speaker 3: Five.
Speaker 5: But I just want to say something to Bob. I
want to say something to Bob here and then I'll
go sixty two percent is nothing considering the big everything
is in the minuses. Firstly, that is definitely not true. Secondly,
I'm up over fifty units of profit in that time
span on those plays. So Bobby, my brother, you're wrong,
But I still appreciate you dog, and I appreciate you
logging on and watching these handsome men every single day.
Speaker 2: Okay, boys, you're right here.
Speaker 4: I'm out of here. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: Andrew, Andrew, A good night for you last night two
and no night. You had a nice little run going
my man. Uh four percent winner? What's uh? Let's let's
after press. Jane was begging there, tell us about your
night before we get into this next game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Carl, I said to you at the
end of the show yesterday. I was like, I've got
two selected so far.
Speaker 3: And I'm not sure if I'm going to do it
third one or not.
Speaker 1: And we kind of had that look at each other
and then I decided that towards the end of the day,
I was like, no, we're gonna just stick with the two.
Speaker 3: We're gonna just stick with the two. And it worked out.
Speaker 1: We had Colorado in regulation, and we had the New
York and Anaheim game over six and a half.
Speaker 3: So I was really happy about that.
Speaker 1: I mean, Carolina got there, and there were a couple
other plays that got there. But you know what, like
just to find those two or three plays each day
that you like and you can kind of get in
that rhythm, get in the flow, and that's the deal.
Here one of my one of my favorite plays in
a little while here, totals wise at least goes tonight
to four percent play for five dollars Tuesday.
Speaker 3: So I really like that one.
Speaker 1: And we'll see if we add anything else Carve, but look,
it's a four and oh run, we're going for five
and oh tonight. We'll see how many plays we end up.
But looking forward to a huge week. And you know,
for for me, I told you guys, we're gonna keep
it simple. We're gonna really study hard. And one thing
I'm looking forward to is just a huge stretch until
the Olympics. And for those of you guys that are wondering,
we will have some picks on the Olympic Hockey Games.
It's gonna be a lot of games going on. I
believe there's what karm eight teams in it, so I
mean a lot of games to be played.
Speaker 3: So looking forward to that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, going for five and oh tonight, and hopefully
you can keep it going, you know, Karm. Like I
keep on saying this to you and people are probably
tired of me saying this. But yesterday with the Avalanche,
they're off two losses in a row. They're off that
seven to three loss despite the empty net goals, and
they had a two days rest, and I said to myself,
there's no way I'm not gonna be on Colorado just
because of the rest that they had. And then you
said it, and then I said it about the New
York Rangers. They just get involved in more overs when
they play on the road. And it's I kind of
love the fact that you cashed a winner on the
Ducks and I had the over in that game. It's
it's quite hard sometimes for two people to hit it
right with the total and the side on the same game.
So yeah, we're both feeling pretty good here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just want to quickly mention just because I
think the first game goes off at twelve forty five. Today,
I have a Champions League package up. I have a
Champions League play up on five dollars Tuesdays, but also
a Champions League package up as well too, And there
was an earlier game on that one. Andrew. We have
so many different segments on there on this show, but
I'm going to create a new one because every once
in a while I ask you this question. So let
me see if I can get this correct on the screen.
Montreal Canadians minus one thirty seven Minnesota plus one thirteen
total six and a half. Make me understand this line,
because I'm going to say this. Minnesota's won the last
nine meetings. Minnesota, I get it, they're on a back
to back, but they played three games and four nights twice,
winning both by six two and five no margins. They
played seven games in thirteen nights and won all seven games.
They're a streaky team and they're off wins in Buffalo
and Toronto and now they're in Montreal tonight. There's there's
no drop off with goaltending because it's it should be
Walstead and Gold tonight and Walsted on the road this season,
and Dream's is gonna throw in one more cabin for you.
Walstead is six one and three on the road, nine
twenty two save percent, It's two seventeen goals against average
with two shutouts. He's better on the road than he
is at home. But the Montreal Canadians are favored.
Speaker 3: Make me understand, Yeah, this one is interesting here.
Speaker 1: This is this is about how much you really really
care about the back to back scenario. This is where
we really find out what the back to back really
means to us when it comes to this. Although I'm
gonna I'm gonna throw this out there as a Canadians fan,
I was hoping that that wild would win last night, because,
as we all know, sometimes teams will come in a
little bit more satisfied after games that they've won versus
you know. I remember one time it was a Monday
night Prime game, Tampa Bay played Toronto, and Toronto beat
Tampa Bay on the Monday and then on Tuesday, it
was a back to back for Tampa, but they beat
the crap out of the Canadians. So sometimes it maybe
is a good thing for the while to have won
in the first one. Here's the big thing, Carl, and
I can never get this out of my head whenever
these two teams play, I just can't. I can't deal
with the streak the Wild are on against the Canadians.
I just can't deal with the streak. It's eight straight wins.
They have absolutely dominated the Montreal Canadians. And there are
certain teams, and there's certain leagues, there's certain scenarios where
you just look at it and you say, this team
has that team's number and there's nothing that they can
do about it. And right now that's kind of been
the case with the Wild and the Montreal Canadians. Now,
one thing I've been saying to you lately is that
even though it's a back to back, it doesn't mean
it has to be an over or yeah, and I've
actually been falling into some of these unders on second
half of back to back. That's kind of where I'm
leaning here. To your point, there's two great goaltenders over
there in Minnesota, right, there's not just one. There's two
great goaltenders over there in Minnesota. And right now, I'll
give you kind of a little situational thing here for
the Montreal Canadians. Jakub Dobish is the confirmed starter for
the Canadians tonight, and for him, I think that he
was going through a little bit of a tough time
because Jacob Fowler was called up and when Jacob Fowler
was called up, it's like he heard footsteps somebody was
trying to take his job from him. But now that
Jacob Fowler got sent back down to the AHL, I
believe the comfortability for Dobish will be back again. He'll
have that confidence back again, and he won't be worried about, Hey,
if I have a bad game tonight, I'm not going
to play again for two weeks, because that's what happened
to him. So I do think that the under could
be in play.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: Terry's here and he is here to remind me that
it's not just eight wins in a row. They've won
eighteen of the last nineteen games between the teams. Yes, Terry,
I know, I know, I was trying to get that
small sample size, but Carlen, you brought up your graphic,
I'm going to bring one up for you as well.
Speaker 3: This one is just bad to look at.
Speaker 1: Four nothing, three nothing, four three five two four one
three one two nothing eight two four three. And the
last time the Habs won was in twenty nineteen where
they won four nothing, so that's pretty tough. But this
is an absolute dominant graphic. So you asked me about
the odds. We're just looking over the odds of this
game in general, and there has been money come in
because according to odds logic, it did open up a
little bit higher than this current number. But I can't
deal with streaks like this. I told you I need
to be better about being a streaks handicaper. I go
against the grain too much. So I'll be watching as
a fan, but if I do make a play on
this game, it will be the.
Speaker 3: Under under five and a half. Here, what do you think?
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you look at Dovis's last five games, as
I'm looking at him right now, he beat Edmonton four
to one, beat Chicago four to one, lost in OT
to the Pittsburgh Penguins four to three, game in OT,
beats Carolina seven to five, beat Vancouver six to three.
So as far as like over enders go three the
last five games or three the last five games have
gone over the total his say percentage, the last couple
of games haven't been very good eight hundred and eight
seventy in those games. But it should be an interesting one.
I just I saw the line and I thought this
is a game that probably should be a closer to
a pick them. So when I saw Montreal minus one
thirty seven, I just I'm like, this is the perfect
segment for Andrew. Make me understand this line. So and
you did a very good job of it, Andrews. So
we'll see some guys talking about Wallston struggling, and yes
he has of late, but you're only as good as
the team sometimes in front of you. And they put
in a very good effort against the Toronto may believes
last night, a defensive effort. If they can do the
same here, it should be a good one.
Speaker 3: On this game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I want to ask you your thoughts on
something here. Look, you know that I could talk your
you're off about this team, but what are your thoughts
about teams getting healthier and sometimes players coming back? Can
that disrupt chemistry like right now. The Haves are in
the midst of having two or three players come back
that are key parts of the team. But they've been
playing some pretty good hockey like they have been winning
without these players. Do you feel like that could disrupt
some Like I think Kirby Dock might make his wilecause
I was gonna say season debut, but I think he's
only played a handful of games this season.
Speaker 3: You know, is it cannot disrupt chemistry for teams? Do
you think?
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think you get stronger as unit.
Your your top three lines, get better, your your your
top six, as far as the defense gets better when
you get some d men back as well too. It's
one of those things where the team is playing well,
everyone is waiting for the drop offs. Sometimes the drop
off doesn't come, you know what I mean? Like, Yeah,
last few years, waited for the Boston Bruins to cool down.
They never did in winning the President's Trophy and setting
a record for points. The Washington Capitals waited for them
to cool down and never have. And you can lose
a lot of money waiting for a team to cool down.
I don't have a play on this game and I'm
not going to play it. If you gave me a
little bit more plus money on Minnesota, I might be
tempted to. But it's just one of those things where
the while they've been a streaky team, a lot of it.
Obviously early in the season they have a few losing
streaks and out of the gates. They started slow last year,
they started slow agan this year. But when they win,
they string a bunch of games together, and obviously adding someone,
adding a player a couple of weeks ago or three
weeks ago, whenever it was, and Hughes gives the team
a little bit more speed as well too. So we'll
see it is there are two and on on this
road trip, and sometimes these road trips for these West
Coast teams that come to the East Coast take on
the life of their own. God only remembers the Seattle
Krack and I kept waiting for them to lose on
that road trip where they came and they beat eight
teams that was two years ago. All eight games they won,
including the final one in Boston against the then Boston
number one seeded Boston Bruins. And they went into Boston,
I think they beat them like three nothing in that game.
So sometimes these teams come and they just string some
wins together. And if you jump on board and you
just say, let me take them again, you can make
some money. Keep betting them until they lose. It's just
like a streak, keep betting it till it loses. So
or a very good trend. So with that said, we'll
see it should be a good game in Montreal tonight
between these two and let's see if your habs can
break the terrible run against Terry's Terry's wild.
Speaker 1: You know it just it's like those streaks caarm It's
hard to get away from them. Like you just look
at that and you're like, man, I don't know what
I can do to you know, as a fan, I
got to just watch, like I feel like it is
a weird number though, like you said, because of the
back to so very interesting to see what happens here.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: I'll take the over on physicality. I'll take the over
on fights potentially, because these teams seem to have some
battles going on between them whenever they play each other.
So should be a good one overall. And you know,
the top line getting a little bit of a shake
up tonight, as our Habs fan in here talking about.
So look forward to seeing how that works out. As
far as props, I will say there could be some
save prop opportunities there for Wallstead because the Habs have
been shooting a lot more as of late. But moving
on to the next one here, Karen, curious your thoughts
on New Jersey right now because they just lost Luke
Hughes and it seems like, I don't know what it is,
but the Hughes brothers they keep.
Speaker 3: Getting shoulder injuries.
Speaker 1: It's the same injury for all of these guys, but
Luke Hugh's gonna be out for a little bit of
time now. This team has just dealt with so much
between what accidents at Steak Dinners and then accidents in
the boards and then accidents out of of training, whatever
it's been. These players are getting hurt and there's been
drama with Dougie Hamilton. It seems like it's been a
weird year for this New Jersey Devil's team. Meanwhile, this
Oilers team starting to get some swagger back here. What
do you think about this game?
Speaker 2: Yeah? The who would have thought the Edmonton Oiliers would
have back to back shut outs, Andrew, I certainly didn't,
but lo and behold they have and now they get
New Jersey on the second of back to back after
a game that'shre in Calgary that went to out. Practically
no travel from Calgary to Edmonton, so I'm not really
worried about the back to back in that sense. I'm
pretty sure they just slept in their hotels and they
make the trip out this morning, have an optional skate,
and then get ready for the game. Devil's starting to
pick up some wins, starting to play a little bit
better and playing better a little defensively. The number at
six here normally you see in Edmonton sixth and you
want to just jump on the over. I'm the opposite.
I just think both teams are playing well defensively. Whether
Edmonton can sustain it, I'm not entirely sure. I know
the Devils when they once they start playing some better,
d can sustain that, and maybe it propels them to
some wins because they really need him at the moment.
Like I'm leaning under six, which is a little odd.
When you see my pod play, and I'll bring up
the pod play now, Andrew, or if you can bring
it up for me the pod play, because the pod
play is on this game. So we'll talk pod right
now and let me just mark down the time there.
Speaker 3: The pod play.
Speaker 2: I am going to get get it out a little
early this pod play. I am taking Actually no, Andrew's okay,
go to the pod play in a second. Let's go
back to this game. I thought I got my graphics wrong.
I thought the pod play where was this game? It
is not in this game, Andrew. I'm going under six
in this one. And this is one of those ones
where I think, even if you get an early goal
in this game and somehow it pops up to a
six and a half, I would still flat. I would
like bet the under. I think at six and a half,
I would still take it, take the under, even with
an early goal in this one. I just like the
way the Oilers are playing in those back to back shutouts.
They went to Vancouver, showed at the Vancouver team who
showed some teeth last night at the very least, although
they still lost the game. And then they came back
and went at home, scoring five and the game still
stays under the total. You hardly ever see that if
someone told you the Owlers are scoring five tonight, you
would be betting the over six or six and a half,
whatever it was in that game. Give me the give
me the under in this one, Andrew, And it wouldn't
shock me if the New Jersey Devils complete the Alberta
double at plus money.
Speaker 1: Ooh, the Alberta double, Tim Horton's double double. Look, look,
this is a weird thing about this Oilers team, right
is that they go in spurts. That's the one thing
I find about this Oilers team. They're like an emotional team.
They play extremely well, they play poorly, they play extremely well.
They play they get poor Golton and they get good Golden.
I mean this is they've either been shut out or
they've shut out their opponent in three straight games. You
want to talk about unders. The only reason why the
last two games went under is because of those shutouts.
But looking at some of the websites that I've started
using here recently, the analytical stuff that I like to
look at, this is the game here when it comes
to possession, where the Edmonton Oilers dominate right now, and
especially their offensive coursing numbers. They're just kind of I think,
creating much more than the New Jersey Devils really are,
and recent struggles right now in goal for this new
Jersey team. I'm looking at Jake Allen's recent stats three
point sixty seven goals against average last three games, a
little bit of a liability against a really hardcore offensive
attack from the Oilers. So I just expect there's gonna
be all kinds of pressure, high volume shots towards him.
And you know, I get what you were saying looking
at that game that the Devil's just played. You know,
that low event style, good defensive game. They were able
to hold the Calgy Flames to minimal scoring chances. But
as I've talked about in the past, I do think
that sometimes coming off a win, specifically in overtime, maybe
that can hurt you going into the second half of
back to back. I'm not saying they're not going to
be motivated to have a good one tonight. I just
mean that coming off that win goes to overtime could
be a good opportunity to play the Oilers. Now, the
question we ask ourselves is how do you play the
Oilers here?
Speaker 3: Because of this current price.
Speaker 1: And the way I would go karm Is, I would
do that split bet first period money line first period
half a minus zero point five and take the puck
line because you can get that good mix of plus
money then you can have that's kind of like you know,
the minus one in the first period, so to speak, right,
you get the push sort of the good old Dave
Coke and move except for we're gonna go on the
first period. I think the Oilers are gonna be sitting
waiting right now. And you know, there's some teams that
I find that can lose focus if they are, you know,
on a roll, like this Oilers team is. But they
are one of those teams that they go in spurts.
Like I said, they're either rolling or they're not. And
I feel like they're gonna take advantage of this Devil's team.
Speaker 3: So we'll see.
Speaker 1: I think that because of this busy schedule, we're seeing
backup goaltenders play even more than they played in years past,
a lot more.
Speaker 4: So.
Speaker 1: You look at some of these goalies, whether it's been
because of injury issues or whether it's been because of
the condensed schedule, some of these backups are being asked
to play a lot more than they're used to. And
for a guy like Jake Allen, I'm a big fan
of his. He used to play for the Canadians, but
he's a really, really good backup. But when he goes
to a starter role and playing a lot more games,
I feel like that's where his numbers start to slidekar.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's listen, I get it. He's he I think
he's had more positive games, at least earlier in the season.
He had some games where the man, the guy he
just kept the team in the game, sit on his head,
stole some games. Why can't he do it here? I listen,
I get it. You look at the Devils and you
know this this mini win streak of theirs, I'll call
it a mini win streak because they've won three of
the last four games. They lost one at home to Carolina.
They seemed to Carolina seems to have their number, but
three and four, winning in Minnesota five to two, and
you look at it. The If they can keep the
opponents the two or fewer goals, they're winning games. It
is about trying to shut down the other teams, and
they've been able to do it. They did it to
the Seattle Kraken, who have had a little bit of
an uprising, playing a little bit better.
Speaker 3: You know they didn't.
Speaker 2: Calgary is probably not the best marker of looking to
see because I I still think Calgary is a team
that's going to finish at or near the bottom of
the standings along with the Vancouver Canucks and will be
a seller at the at the end before the trade
deadline comes up. I think both those markets do that.
But plus one thirty four, Andrew just seems so tempting
with New Jersey that they can go in and beat
this team. I'm leaning to, like I said to the under,
three of the last five games between these teams have
stayed under the total. So the Devils can't keep this
team at bay. Well, we'll see what happens tonight. I
get what you're saying. They're going to try and get
a lot of shots towards them. It's whether New Jersey.
Where's our man TJ. Salador? He should be in the
live chat letting us know his thoughts on his favorite
team New Jersey. Here, I think the Devils have a chance.
Andrew of this line screams to me, possible upset because
you would think the Oilers, off of back to back wins,
back to back shutouts, outscoring opposition eleven nothing New Jersey
coming in on the second of a back to back,
that a rested Oilers team would be a bigger price
than one sixty four and they're not.
Speaker 3: Is that the thing that the price has you questioning
it a little bit?
Speaker 1: Here?
Speaker 3: Yeah, have a weird number.
Speaker 2: It's a it's a fishy one. And sometimes when I
see a line like that on on the Oilers or
on any team, I it's not that I, hey, I'm
going to take the Oilers because this line's too low.
It's like, hey, I think the dog is live here, right,
And it makes me look into the game a little
bit more. And it's just you look at some of
the high danger chances the New Jersey's allowed in the
last four games, and they've minimized it from what they
were allowing before. You go to sites like Natural stat
Trick and you look at it and what they're doing,
and they're obviously doing something right because they've won three
or four games and they need to start to string
a lot more games together. You know, you get into
the second half of the season and a team that's
not in a playoff position has start playing playoff hockey
a couple months early, and maybe This is what the
New Jersey Devils need to do right now. They need
to play playoff hockey right now in order to leapfrogs
some teams and get into those playoff spots or what
have you. So we shall see. We'll be talking about
this game tomorrow. If the Devils pull off the upset
three to two final New Jersey. How's that? I hit
my under, I hit my dog.
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, what if I want to take the oilers here? Okay, okay,
how about this oilers first period? Oilers first period? One
nothing and then three to two New Jersey. One nothing
after the first and then three to two New Jersey
after that.
Speaker 3: We got to all get together here, come on.
Speaker 2: My thoughts and prayers go out to your lost Pat. Sorry,
you know, I'm just kidding, Andrew. I'm gonna go pod
first and then saying game parlay. Uh, my mind was
all over the place.
Speaker 3: You had me confused a little bit there.
Speaker 2: I confused myself because I looked at the I looked
at this backstage and I'm like, wait, wait, the logo
is different for this team. Okay, here is my pod play.
We wait one in one in the pod play, and Andrew,
I gotta say, because I know a couple of guys
asking the chat so one in one with the two
pod plays. Yesterday, Man, I gotta tell you that was
watching the San Jose upset of Florida with the return
of Matthew T Chuck. That game was absolutely fantastic and
I had a chance at some point if if San
Jose could have or sorry, if Florida had gotten another
one to make it three to two, they probably could
have thing. But the fights. Watching Bobrovski skate down the
ice and take on Nadelkovic uh Bobrovski's first ever fight
in the NHL. Man, he was throwing fisticuffs and then
he went straight to the dressing room, not because of injury,
but because he assumed that when a goalie crosses the
red line, they are out of the game. Yeah, you
cannot cross the red line, but it's at the refs discretion,
and they decided not to throw Brebrosky out of the game.
So he came out and the fans are going crazy.
They gave him standing ovation not only when he returned
to the ice, but even after they lost the game
four to one, they gave him a standing ovation as
he was going to the bench at the end of
the game. That's a fan base that I can appreciate
that doesn't boo their players. But they also have two
Stanley Cups in the last time.
Speaker 1: The reaction on the bench from San Jose to maclin
Celebrainy was going crazy. Those guys were loving Nadelkovich dropping
the Mits as well. And while we're on the topic
of the San Jose Sharks, how about that trade yesterday.
I mean, that's a good pickup for those San Jose Sharks.
Who would have thought it's twenty twenty six. Here we
are January twentieth. The San Jose Sharks are buyers. Guys,
there are buyers in the NHL. It feels like it's
been years since we've been able to say that they
were not sellers at the deadline. And you know, I
was on a podcast yesterday talking about this car. Do
you feel like the trade deadline day? I remember when
I was younger on TSN ESPN, the deadline day was
always a huge thing. Now, all these big trades get
made before the deadline. Like Rasmus Anderson, he's already gone.
Keith for Surewood he's already gone. Teams are already starting.
You know Panerin, he'll probably be gone soon from the Rangers.
All of these trades are gonna happen before trade deadline day,
and I think right now what's happening is teams want
to get ahead of things, right Like, if you are
a team that wanted Rasmus Anderson, you're gonna be upset
that you weren't able to get him. If you're a
team that wanted Keith for Surewood, You're gonna be upset
you weren't able to get him.
Speaker 3: So I think people will be.
Speaker 1: Kind of frustrated right now with how early maybe some
of these trades are taking place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's great, Andrew. We need like maybe a
Puck Time tradeline day show. What do you think?
Speaker 3: Y up for it?
Speaker 2: If there's not a lot of moves, we can just
discuss to some of the moves trade deadline Day and
just have like a live show. We just pretty much
take some questions and chat about some upcoming deals. Kopeks
as the devil Stink. When am I going to learn?
It's not about learning is if you think a team
is going to go on a run, no matter how
good or bad they are, you try and make money
off that team, and this team's won through the last
four They're five points out of a playoff spot, so
they have not given up, and if they string a
couple of wins together, they're right there. It is about
playing playoff hockey now, So regardless of tonight's result, it's
a team to watch because if they you know, if
they win seven out of ten games, they are in
a playoff spot. And there's been worse teams in the
NHL that who have won seven out of ten games.
So I have no I have no love for the
New Jersey Devils. They're just another team for me. I'm
betting numbers and not names. So that's what it comes
down to at the end of the day. My favorite
team is the one that I have money on. That's
what I'm cheering for that night. So with that said,
Andrew the Alberta Double. Someone asked what is the Alberta
Double the Alberta Double. Calgary and Edmonton are both in
the province of Alberta. Most teams will play on their
road trips, will go into Calgary or Edmonton and then
play in the other city the very next night or
a night later, so completing the Alberta double is beating
both teams. It's kind of like going down to Florida
and uh completing the Florida Double by beating Tampa Bay
and by beating the Florida Panthers. So that is what
the Alberta double is. Is that clear enough? Andrew?
Speaker 1: I think that, Yeah, that's just our way of saying,
you know, that's the it's And I feel like there's certain.
Speaker 3: Geographical called Alberta.
Speaker 2: I think maybe like, uh, if we were alcoholics, we'd
be saying, let's have like Alberta double. Uh yeah, even
noon over here yet, so whiskey is definitely not drinking
this early.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think it's true.
Speaker 1: Like, and the thing is is that I think in
for the most part, it's it's about the close proximity
as well, right, like the Rangers and the Islanders, or
the Devils and the Islanders. Like you look at some
teams that will go and they'll play a three game
set and they'll play all of the Devils, the Rangers,
and the Islanders. So as much as they're on a
big road trip, if you're playing the Islanders, Devils and
the Rangers in one road trip, we're not really going
to use that fatigue factor because they aren't even hopping
on a plane after the game is over. They're still tired,
they're still sleeping in hotel rooms, but they're not as
much really, you know, dealing with all that the different
time zones and the flights and all that good stuff.
So and Ghost says it right here, the California Double
Kings and Ducks. That's a really good example as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it is. It's just something that there's a
name that's given for it, and it kind of picks
up some steam and stays there, kind of like the
same Game Parlay Andrew, come on, man, give us a
same game parlay winner, and then I'll do the pod.
Speaker 1: All right, before I do, hold on, I just gotta
put this up.
Speaker 3: No fancy like me to do the pod first.
Speaker 1: It's all right, I don't have the fancy graphic yet,
but I will show that. I have a couple of
guys today for that are worth mentioning. I don't have
a huge long list today, and there aren't actually a
lot of great matchups today, but this one's kind of
an interesting one.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 1: Oliver york Strand from Tampa Bay playing against San Jose
Sharks second half of back to back there for the
San Jose Sharks plus one thirty five for.
Speaker 3: Any time point.
Speaker 1: He has a point in four straight games against the
San Jose Sharks. As they always talk about, we'll talk
about some hot streaks, but we'll also talk about players
in certain head to head matchups that have done extremely well.
York Strand has done extremely well in this matchup for
whatever reason, against the San Jose Sharks. I know I've
been given out props on Drake Bathson a lot, but
he's done extremely well against Columbus. He has at least
one point in four of his last five meetings against
the Blue Jackets. You can find him at minus one twenty.
Shop round your sports books to get the best price possible.
Shabbot even better number for him, Thomas Shabbat a point
for him and three of his last four games. You
can get plus two hundred or higher when it comes
to him. And here's one that's pretty good here. Karm
Cam Fowler, defenseman for the Saint Louis Blues playing Winnipeg tonight,
second half of back to back. He has a point
in seven of his last ten games played against the
Winnipeg Jets. Whatever reason, this guy doesn't get that many points.
He's now the fifth defenseman on the team, but he
has a point in seven of his last ten meetings
against Winnipeg. He's got to be someone that's worth a
shot today, maybe for a point, for a goal, for
shots on goal, whatever it is. He's someone that stood
out to me on my list for today, at least
as far as it goes for today. We just pull
up this small little graphic the Senators and the Blue Jackets. Look,
they're not happy about it, but a lot of Sens
games right now are just flying over the total. We've
had players calling out goalies, we've had I think this
is gonna be one of those things here where eventually
it's gonna have to be a low scoring run. But
for right now we have to ride the wave of
a lot of Ottawa games are gonna go over the total.
Fan Tilly, Batherson and Stutsla to all get points. And
then as far as the Rangers and Kings game, Kempe
and La Ferrier plus one forty six. Now the Kings,
they're catching the Rangers on the second half of back
to back. I'm kind of shocked here. Karm these are
the two top line guys on the Kings to get
a point together plus one forty six, and ever since
the coaching change was made in Columbus, we've seen Adam
fan Tilly really stepping it up, and of course Batherston
and Stutsla, they've been on the same line together pretty
much all year plus two twenty. This is all I'm
gonna say, karm to that comment there about them. I
strongly encourage people to break these up. So yesterday we
hit one, but we didn't hit the other one. And
what I'm gonna do is, for the most part, these
are gonna be all plus money, right, So I'm gonna
typically give you two different sets of same gamers in
two games. Right, Yesterday we hit the Colorado one and
we lost the Winnipeg one.
Speaker 3: But if I give you two.
Speaker 1: Different ones that are both plus one forty five or
one fifty, all you have to do is go one
and one on these, and then hopefully some days we're
gonna hit those, and we're gonna hit the plus eight
hundreds or plus six hundreds and such. But yeah, Jonathan,
appreciate we've hit the plus one thousands before, but so
b York Strand, Bathurston, Shabbat, and Cam Fowler four interesting
names for today, but funny enough, there weren't many guys
actually today on streaks against certain teams that thought it
was just worth mentioning that.
Speaker 2: All right, same game, same game, party, It's gonna hit Andrew,
I feel it, man. If it doesn't do it, I'm
gonna call you out on it tomorrow, as you will
if I do not win this plus. So let's get
to it.
Speaker 1: And the thing is, look, we only need to hit one, right,
plus one forty six and plus two to twenty.
Speaker 3: We only need to hit one to make some money there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get to this pod play because then I
have some well a couple of little quick promo things.
But I want to talk about something else as well,
too unrelated to hockey. But with that said, today's pod play,
I'm gonna go with a puck line on this one.
I'm taking the red hot Tampa Bay Lightning at home
playing San Jose Sharks, who are coming off the upset
win yesterday in the first half of the Florida Double.
Tampa Bay their last thirteen games are twelve oh and one.
Their last thirteen games nine of those twelve wins have
been by two or more goals. I am taking minus
one and a half minus one eighteen on the Tampa
Bay Lightning to beat the San Jose Sharks. The goaltending
advantage lies definitely with Tampa Bay here, barbrovs sorry to
Barbrovski I Vasileski versus Askarov of the San Jose Sharks.
So with that said, the Lightning minus one fifteen, minus
one and a half minus one eighteen is your pod
play for Tuesday.
Speaker 1: That team has been so consistent all year long right now,
and as much as the Atlantic Division has been competitive,
this Tampa Bay team is on a really really good
run right now, and I'm hoping that you hit that
pod play and somehow we can get an Oliver york
Strand point because I never thought I'd be playing a
prop on that guy, but that's what the numbers tell me.
That he's the guy to look at. So minus one
and a half the Bankroll KR. I don't want to
jinx you here, but I can't remember last time that
bank Roll has taking a dip man every week.
Speaker 3: You're just building that up. You're really showing people the
way to do it.
Speaker 2: We will get it. My goal with the bank roll
was to get it to about eighty five hundred. I
would love to double it. Complete one you know, ten
k at the end by eighty five means we basically
gained seventy percent on the year, taking one game at
a time here and there. So with that said, I
think that's the important thing is to show that you
can lose a play and your bank roll is still intact.
You have to lose a lot in order for that
bank roll to sink, so it is a long term game.
At the end of the day, I think people need
to realize that it's you know, it's it's the end game,
and the end game is the end of the season
and how good we end up doing. So it's one
of the things on the show, whether it's just a
pod or whether it's the beginning of the show where
I may seem like the old man yelling at the clouds,
But it is more about the transparency of when you
have a bad day, you talk about the day. I
think because you get it out of your system, you
don't really have to talk about the good days because
it's already in your system. You feel good. Is the
bad ones you got to get out With that said,
Andrew Champions League up for me today one play is
part of five dollars customer appreciation Day, and then a
three pack as well to include a nice plus money
side in that one, and then one play up in
the NHL. I don't like any other plays in the NHL.
I know it's a bigger card, but I only like
one place, so I just made it the five dollars
play and that's it. I'm working pretty much tirelessly, guys,
putting together for the World Cup. What is probably going
to be like a thirty page betting guide for how
to bet the World Cup and make money. Hopefully it
works out and you're going to be able to download
it free at wager Talks. So I like it to
say is for you guys in the US. I was
going through the US men's national team. I'm actually excited
about the US men's national team because I'm watching these players,
some of them playing in Europe, a few of them
playing in the MLS, and they actually have a good
team with I actually think a very good manager in Pochettino.
This could be a magical year. I'm not saying they're
winning the World Cup, but they are going to get
into the knockout stages and threaten some teams this year
to the US men's national team, good luck to you guys, Andrew,
what are you got going on at on five dollars
Tuesdays and close this out for us.
Speaker 1: Look, it's a small run, but we'll take it. We're
going for five straight tonight on the ice in the NHL.
It's a nice Tuesday slate guys. You guys can get
my four percent play for just five bucks. So good
day to hop.
Speaker 3: On with me.
Speaker 1: Hasn't been this season I'd love to talk about. But
you know what, we're going to turn things around and
going for five straight tonight. I love this total play.
If we do add some more, I think it'll be
one total, one side for tonight. So let's keep it rocking, guys,
five dollars, don't forget you guys, and great that great
one month deal and also the seven day deal is
still available as mentioned. By the end of the week,
me and Carmine are going to have a deal together
for you guys for both of our NHL seasons. Encourage
you guys to all get on board with all of
our best bets. If you guys don't buy plays, no
