Speaker 1: NHL Picks for Tuesday, January twenty seventh. Welcome in guys
to Puck Time Wager Talk TV. Andrew Prez and Buster
with you today to breakdown a handful of games. We've
got some good games on taps, Sabers, Leafs, Sharks, Canucks
and Jets and the Devil's going ahead Ahead. I'll give
you guys some props near the end of the show,
and of course we'll give you guys some great promos
as it is five dollars Tuesday, not just one play,
but every play available from Cappers, as long as it
isn't a five dollars or five percent play available for
just five bucks. And Prez, you've a big play going
on the ice as well. Same thing with me. Good
morning man, how are you.
Speaker 2: I'm excited. Andrew great night.
Speaker 3: Last night swept the board three and oh had a
huge four percent play on Arizona against BYU and College
Hoops and Jesus. The ending of that game was intense.
Arizona was up by ten and with a minute to
go in the game and BYU had a shot to
win it all.
Speaker 2: At the end.
Speaker 1: It was big block actually great play by the Arizona
defender great play. Yeah, I turned it on with five
minutes to go. You know how everybody jokes around that
like the final like two minutes in basketball is like
half an hour or however long. I turned it on
for like the final eight to ten minutes of that game.
My girlfriend was like getting ready for bed, kind of
walking around doing her thing whatever. She's like, are you
still watching that game? It must have been like forty
five minutes. I swear like thirty forty minutes of how
long that game was towards the end. But the free
throws and the misshot but man, march madness, it makes
it a good thing. College kids can't hit free throws
like college kids are the least. I don't know if
it's because they're tired breaks.
Speaker 3: That's not true. I don't want to get into it.
I don't want to sound racist, but that's not technically true.
There are many Indiana college bad football players. People born
in Iowa, Yeah, in Indiana, in Whichita State in Boise
that master the art of the breath throw and can't
do anything else. So salid people from LA and New
York and Miami, they might not master the rethrow. But
I'll take an Indiana guy named Chip, and I think
he gets nine out of ten.
Speaker 4: Okay, go Chip, Go Chip.
Speaker 1: It's a big part of the comebacks though, it's just
not as automatic as it is. But pres let's dive
into the Buffalo Sabers and Toronto Maple Leafs here. I
was talking to you before the show started. Man, Buffalo
Sabers fire their GM, they go on a ten game
winning streak and they just haven't really looked back since.
But now we're getting to a point where the prices
here are near Pickham and they're starting to use the
Sabers team being semi a good team. Yeah, who knows
if it's a good value spot here on the Maple Leafs.
They're not happy after their last game here side Total.
What sticks out to you here.
Speaker 3: Well, the total sticks out to me, Andrew, But I
do want to just shout out the Buffalo Sabers. Outstanding
effort by Buffalo, a great start of the season twenty
nine and seventeen, and obviously one of the hottest teams
in the league.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be I'll tell you.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you as a person who lives next to Buffalo,
you know where it's an hour drive from Buffalo to here.
And I grew up listening to the Buffalo News because
that was the news channel that put the news into
the Toronto market. I know as a fact how Buffalo
sports work. They climb to the top of the mountain
just so the plummet could be longer and harder. It's
their special superpower in Buffalo. They want the pain of
almost getting there. You're after your sport after sport, and
here they go again. Now what that said. I like
the over in this game a lot, dude. I mean,
come on, do you know that? Butlo has scored five goals. Firstly,
Carmine Bianco said, present the Savers hate, No, Carl, it's
the Buffalo hate, not the Savers hate.
Speaker 1: Nothing against the sas against the whole damn place Bro.
Speaker 2: And I don't hate Bfalo.
Speaker 3: I just think that they have mastered the art of
never doing anything in sports, no matter what, forever Anyway, Buffalo, dude,
They've scored five goals in six out of their last
ten games.
Speaker 2: Think about that.
Speaker 3: They've scored five goals in two of their last three games.
They've scored fourteen goals in their last three games. And
it's not like Toronto was playing defense, Bro, This Toronto
team just allowed Colorado or Vegas six, Minnesota sixth. This
Toronto leaf team has allowed six goals in four of
their last seven games. All right, let's just let's move
on to another game. Don't overthink this, Andrew take the
over in this game. Keep riding the Sabers over. Keep
riding Toronto over right now until it turns around.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: I know that Buffalo's gone under the last two games
in a row, but that's because the Islanders couldn't score,
and nor could Montreal. I think we're gonna get goals
out of Toronto tonight. Even though they put up a
one spot against Colorado. They're still shooting the puck. And
the longer they go without in Islander, the more chemistry
will be, the better the lines will be, the more
goals they're going to get, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2: I like the overnight, Bro, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I can't argue with your pres on that one. Like
just looking at this this team as well, I gotta
say nobody wants to make excuses for anybody because a
lot of teams are going through tough schedules right now.
But we have to say this Leafs team has gone
through a tough last couple of games. The Detroit Red
Wings they mean business. They're actually a good team in
the Atlantic, you know, as much as they've driven me
crazy this season, they mean business in the Atlantic Division.
And then you look at you know, the Avalanche, the
Golden Knights twice, the Wild Like. It has not been
an easy last six games. With that said, the Leafs
team overall, and so I do think their offense will
show up, but I do still worry about their defense.
To your point about Buffalo scoring.
Speaker 3: And I agree, I think they're going to put some
goals up tonight too. But I mean, Andrew, not only
are they allowing six goals in you know, four out
of their last seven games, but just go down the
shots on goal thirty six, thirty forty one, thirty eight,
thirty thirty three, forty one, thirty or I mean they've
gone eight games in a row with thirty plus goals
shots on net against them. Uh yeah, I mean the
over for me.
Speaker 1: Well, we're gonna touch on that in the prop segment
Towards the end of the show. The Mayple Leiefs ranked
dead last thirty second in the league in shots on
goal loud per game. So you know, I don't think
it's ever the goalie's fault when you know they're facing
that many shots. There's some instances where it can be,
but yeah, they're dealing with a lot right now. But
who would have thought pres you know, if we're talking
together in October, we'd be seeing home game for the
Mayple Leafs And it's a near pick em right now.
Buffalo and Toronto. How things can change, But I definitely
don't think the scoring will change for either of these teams.
So whether it's first period over or full game over,
I'm looking for some goals here in this one. The
big thing is I won with the Maple Leafs is
they got to get continue to get that secondary scoring,
like even if they can get Cowen to do something
again and come with these other guys, but it can't
just be Tavaris and Matthews and the big guys, because
I feel like for those players, when they even see
another guy in the bottom six do something, it helps them.
It sparks them out, It makes them feel like they
don't they're not the only guys out there that have
to score. But Buffalo certainly looking pretty good right now.
Let's see let's bring in Don Buster out president.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, first I'd like to promote. Secondly, we'll answer this
question with Don. If Montreal had a good goalie this year,
we would be in first place for sure. So let
me promote quickly, and then let me get to that
question because I have I have one of those plays again.
Speaker 2: Tonight, Andrew.
Speaker 3: We were on here last Tuesday and I begged you
guys to buy my four percent NHL money line bet.
Hundreds of you guys took advantage of that only five dollars,
and we won. The tuesday before was exactly the same way,
and tonight I got another one of those plays.
Speaker 2: We are on a nine and oh four percent run.
Speaker 3: That's right, nine wins, zero losses on my ur percent play.
I'm also sixty three percent in ur percent bets since
last January. But that's nothing compared to what I do
in these NHL money line bets.
Speaker 2: Andrew, I am.
Speaker 3: Forty three and eighteen in the last six years, No,
since twenty twenty two, forty three and eighteen in these plays, guys,
it's five bucks. We've done this every Tuesday. We keep
winning them. Head over to wage to talk grab my play,
and now let's invite I Dono Gonzaga.
Speaker 4: You want to do it. You wanted to answer the question,
and what about me?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: What a Buster is a Montreal fan?
Speaker 4: All right? All right, so let let.
Speaker 2: Pablo Sanchez answer the question.
Speaker 4: There he is.
Speaker 1: If you're Buster, if you thought you got a handful
of me and karm Yeah, you're in for a treat
today with Pressster.
Speaker 2: You look amazing, dude.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Lawrence. I appreciate that.
Speaker 6: It's probably the best compliment you gave me over this
puck Time show that we've been I was on with you,
you and Andrew maybe seven years ago when it was
your baby, and then you handed it over to Andrew
and Carmine and uh yeah.
Speaker 5: I was always always shocked, Lawrence that.
Speaker 6: You did that, because I know how much you loved
this show. But you come on enough, so I guess
you get your film.
Speaker 3: Buster Buster, it means anything. I started the college football
show and handed it over. I started the prop show,
I started the NASCAR show, I started the UFC show,
I started the Hockey show. I started every single daily
show we have going because.
Speaker 2: Company Andrew.
Speaker 3: Yes, of course, I called money up like ten years ago,
eight years ago and I'm like, we need to do
a daily show, and I think Puck Time was the
first daily show.
Speaker 2: We need to do a daily show. And he's like,
you'll never be able to do it.
Speaker 3: You'll find reasons and then this person and then you're
gonna sleep, and then you're gonna get high, and then
you're gonna have a hangover.
Speaker 2: And anyway, don you look like you've lost some weight.
You look phenomenal, dude. Seriously, I actually have, Lawrence.
Speaker 6: I've been trying to live a little bit of better lifestyles.
As you know, as you get older, you need to
do that walking a lot more to exercising a bit
more so.
Speaker 5: Trying the best.
Speaker 6: But I know you guys got a ton of snow
there in your area. Carmines throw out his back. I'm
actually a little surprised about that because I figured, Lawrence,
you would maybe send over your crew to help him out,
and you wouldn't have to, you know, shovel at all.
Speaker 3: So I don't listen, how do you have asked me
to send my crew over to shovel?
Speaker 2: I would have.
Speaker 6: I don't know why you want to pick up a shovel.
That's why I'm in Mexico. I don't even want to
see snow.
Speaker 2: Dude.
Speaker 3: Firstly, I love snow. Secondly, I don't shovel crazy, that's
insane to me.
Speaker 1: I've heard that, Buster, let me ask you this. I
know we got to get back on track, but I'll
chime in here. I've heard like people have talked about
getting that it's like the seasonal depression, but like the
opposite way, where like you have just one climate all
the time. Have you ever missed the seasons sort of
so to speak, like of you know, back home. I know,
so Dan Alexander just moved back to Philly from California.
He got to experience it where it was sunny every day,
and he said, it's, you know, to me, hey, it
sounds kind of, you know, privilege, but he goes, he goes.
You actually do end up getting used to it and
it's not as special anymore. But my only counter argument
is I'd love to just be able to say that,
like even just give me a year to be able
to experience that. Then maybe I would miss that as well,
you know, like, do you ever miss that?
Speaker 5: I truly don't.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 6: My wife does. She likes snow like Lawrence does. Like
she she used to ski a lot, and I know
Lawrence likes to ski. So when you're still doing that, yeah,
you're gonna like the snow if you like snowmobile and
things like that. But for me, I was never one
of those guys that like the snow. You know, the
only events I did in the winter time was inside drinking.
Speaker 2: That was my event, right, So angry now.
Speaker 6: Being down here, it's again, I just I don't I
understand that, but it's for me.
Speaker 5: Give me the sun all the time.
Speaker 3: And I went out with dinner with my wife and
another couple and my wife was talking and I did
this and I got in a lot of trouble. I'm
gonna try it again.
Speaker 1: Oh so you're allowed to get off track, but I can't.
All right, Buster, Sharks and Canucks, what do you have
for us? You gave us the ugliest game on the boards.
This is how we know the Sharks are getting a
lot better, because the Sharks are decent faves against the Canucks.
They're they're evidently the worst team in the league. Nobody
can really deny that. Are you taking the Sharks? Are
you taking the dog care? What do you think?
Speaker 5: Well, I'm not going to be taking aside here, but
we will talk about it.
Speaker 6: I actually was going to talk about the Vegas Montreal game,
but I'm on with you tomorrow, Andrew, and we get
accused of talking too much. HAPs So I decided I
would do because Brian Leonard hasn't been around for a while,
he's been on holidays for a bit, So I decided
I'd do my Brian Leonard and pick a game that
this little game people might now want to want to
look at. So when you look at this line San
Jose minus won twenty five, that seems very fish to me.
Like we all know, Vancouver's lost thirteen of their last
fourteen San Jose, they've got nine and four in their
last thirteen, but they're only a one twenty five favorite. Again,
very fishy. Truthfully, though, even though Vancouver it's basically a
total shit show, they've played pretty well in their last
four games at home.
Speaker 5: Now. They've lost three.
Speaker 6: Of those four games, but they've been in every game
and they've only lost by a goal in the games
that they lost. So when the team's in every game
like that, you know, Now, truthfully, I would not talk anyone.
Speaker 5: Into taking Vancouver tonight.
Speaker 6: But this is more of kind of a warning to
everybody out there that because once you look right at
that line, you know, I do my lines at night.
Speaker 5: I quick we looked through and go boot boots. If
I see something that stands out, automatically, you look, Oh,
san Jose's a bet. I don't not too fast. I
don't think so. Like I say, even though San Jose's
beat for twice.
Speaker 6: This season, there is a little bit of revenge for
Vancouver if you want, if you have something for that
team to build on.
Speaker 5: And I heard I'm not sure if it.
Speaker 6: Was Carmine, you or maybe even Lawrence was talking about
how Vancouver they are a professional hockey club bottom line right,
and they have been playing a lot better. You can
see that they're trying to win. Will they be able
to beat the Sharks? Yeah, it might be tough, but
I'm telling you this is going to be a close
game now again, gut feeling like it. And I talked
about this two or three times this year on the show,
and actually every time of those gut feelings, I've said
that of course I'm not gonna bet that, but they
have one I mentioned about two weeks ago we had
Edmonton and the Islanders and I sat on here and said,
you know what, just gut feeling, I'm not betting it
that I would like the under. I think the under
is the player. And I know I got a little
pushback from you boys, Carmine and yourself, Andrew, but it
was one nothing again not saying San Jose is could
could could beat him up, but it just my gut
tells me that the play could be Vancouver.
Speaker 5: Here.
Speaker 6: Am I going to put my harder money on it.
I wouldn't put your guys harder and money on it,
not at all. But I'm just it's this is more
of like I would say, just a warning, just to
be just tread lightly what I do like like the
over here in this game. Actually San Jose has gone
under in their last five games, but before that nine
straight overs and twelve or thirteen overs, and in those
five games, I would say maybe two or three of
those games probably should have went over. Now Vancouver, even
though they don't score a lot when they've been at home,
they've been on an eight game home stand right now,
they have gone three to one and one to the
over so far. Now when these teams have got together
this year, as I had already mentioned there was one
over and one under in the game that went under.
I just want to make a little point here, probably
should have went way over. They had two power play goals.
They had fourteen opportunities, so two for fourteen. In the
next game that did go over, there was nine power
play opportunities. They did score a couple of goals there
as well. My point here is that these teams get together,
they seem to play a little bit more open because
San Jose is one of those clubs that.
Speaker 5: I believe is just like Anaheim.
Speaker 6: They're an overclub regardless of what's happened these last few games.
Speaker 5: And both these teams they tend to give up a
ton of goals.
Speaker 6: Vancouver has allowed the most goals in the NHL and
San Jose comes in at seven.
Speaker 5: So both teams they're a little suspect on defense, I
would say so because of that, I do like this
game over.
Speaker 6: I do think Vancouver can't win a two one game,
so they're gonna try to score some goals. Again, I
don't want anything really to do with this. My gut
tells me Vancouver can win this one. But the play
is the over.
Speaker 1: It's hard to argue and over there because just how
consistently bad that Vancouver team has been defensively, like they're
just giving up and buster. Anytime I think to myself, maybe,
just maybe they'll give us a good defensive effort, they
don't anyway, So.
Speaker 2: So I listen. I love being here.
Speaker 3: Do you want my thoughts on this game? Or do
you want me to just look good? And I look good?
Speaker 2: I can look good. I could just sit here and
look good like we're.
Speaker 4: Gonna get your thoughts on the next game.
Speaker 2: We have.
Speaker 6: You know what? Oh?
Speaker 5: There we is do the flexes press? We haven't seen
that much lately. Oh. I took him right off there.
Speaker 4: I took him, took him off the screen.
Speaker 2: I like Vancouver a lot. Okay, go on? Oh really okay?
Speaker 4: All right, No way not.
Speaker 2: I like Vancouver a lot. You're sitting on the fence.
Speaker 6: Yes I am, because I'm not going to bet Vancouver
after they've lost thirteen or fourteen. It's just I mean,
you're twelve out of thirteen.
Speaker 4: Either.
Speaker 1: He's just gonna tell us tomorrow if they win that
he feels good about it.
Speaker 4: But I don't think he's betting it either, are you press?
Speaker 3: I don't know yet, but probably am I like Leam.
I bet them last game against Pittsburgh they lost three two.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you know what, Laurren's at that price can
bet Bankcouver like plus fifteen.
Speaker 2: That's not a good enough price. It's not a good
enough price.
Speaker 3: But analytic wise, they out shot Pittsburgh, they out shot
New Jersey, they beat Washington. This is a team that
is heading in the right direction.
Speaker 4: Agreed, All right, Prez.
Speaker 1: We were going to just get Buster's thoughts on that game,
and then it was going to be your turn to
talk again. But we'll get Busters promotions anything you have
for five dollars Tuesday.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's five dollars Tuesday. Here at wager Talk.
Speaker 6: We have our four percent best bet up in the
NHL for today. It's a total best bet. We actually,
for all the years we've been with the wager Talk family,
number one and profit in total best bets four percent
total best bets.
Speaker 5: So that's good. We're not as good as Lawrence.
Speaker 6: Last two weeks we've struggled with our five dollars customers
appreciation play.
Speaker 5: Just putting that out there so you'll want to grab
this one.
Speaker 6: As we were on a big streak like Lawrence's right, now,
so good luck to you, Lawrence on yours. But yeah,
can head over to the head over to the site.
Five dollars plays from all the cappers and go down
Buster and buy ours.
Speaker 4: Good luck Buster man. We'll take care.
Speaker 1: We'll see you next time, Okay, Andrew, I guess I'll
see it tomorrow, all right. And I'll tell you that
stuff sticks out to me quite a bit because I
think like when a number seems weird, like on the
weekend on Saturday, it was Tampa Bay and Columbus and
it was like only like plus one hundred for Columbus.
And I understand Columbus was playing well, but Tampa Bay
was one of the hottest teams in the league. So
when a number seems kind of fishy, it is kind
of interesting. And now we're getting to the point where
San Jose is consistently favorites. I know they're playing Vancouver,
but I kind of like that as well. All right,
we got one more game to get to. I'm sure
you have something else to say, though, Well, I.
Speaker 3: Just want to say, in the last two minutes, I
want to thank Maryo, Giovanni and Russell, all three of
you guys. Literally in the last two minutes purchased my
five dollars play today.
Speaker 2: Lots of love, man, Andrew.
Speaker 3: It means the fricking world to me when people buy
my work and utilize it. It's purposeful, it is, it's
great for the ego.
Speaker 2: I'm so appreciative, guys. Man, five dollars play, great for
the ego. Get Mike. Well, listen, dude, I'm fifty six
years old. I need ego stuff. Okay, all right, okay, yeah,
so head over, grab my play, join the list, and.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow, guys, I'll have Buster with me for the show.
We're gonna break down three games and we'll go over
some props as well. So again, make sure you guys
get Busters five dollars play. At wager Talk, Get press
Big was it moneyline play? You said, pres I've got
a team total tonight in the NHL, and you guys can,
of course get my college basketball play.
Speaker 4: It's a total play as well.
Speaker 1: Running pretty hot in the NHL overall, and I think
it's been a really profitable last few weeks overall.
Speaker 4: January started off cold.
Speaker 1: I won't lie. January started off cold. The first week
and a half of January was cold across all sports.
Past few weeks, we've really really.
Speaker 4: Picked it up.
Speaker 1: I think around plus fifteen twenty units, So we'll take that.
It's a slow grind, and especially when I'm low volume,
like the way I am, that's all that matters is
one winner a day, keeps the doctor away.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: Pres, this is one that I like. Here, I'll just
say real quick, already did a video on this. I
like the Jets plus one zero five first game back
from a road trip for the Devils, They're three and
won their last four games, but they did drop that
last game of the road trip against Seattle. And I'm
not a huge coaches quotes guy at all, and I
know some handicappers are. I don't necessarily think they do
any good because coaches can be very, very cliche, and
I feel like you could twist any quote any different way,
and handicappers do it to appease their way of thinking.
That being said, when a coach says that was the
most embarrassing game I've seen in a long time, I'm
embarrassed for our team. We looked like we were playing
pond hockey out there. Nobody wanted to be there, nobody
wanted to play. It was embarrassing. We have to be
much better, and we will be, and every leader on
the team says that they will be. Then I'm back
in the Winnipeg Jets. It's a veteran team called out
by the coach. I still believe they have it in
them to bounce back in a strong way. Plus one
oh five for me. What's your take on this game?
Speaker 3: Well, let me just firthly speak conceptually here. I agree
with everything you're saying in regards to the Winnipeg Jets.
Speaker 2: I think when you look at.
Speaker 3: This team, they have forty seven points on the season,
they are eight points out of a wildcard spot, and
I think this is a big time bet on.
Speaker 2: Team moving forward.
Speaker 3: I would not bet them tonight, Andrew, because I feel
exactly the.
Speaker 2: Same way about the New Jersey Devils.
Speaker 3: This New Jersey Devils team is fifty six points, they're
five points out of a wildcard spot, and I think.
Speaker 2: They are a bet on team moving forward.
Speaker 3: Both of these teams are coming out of horrific, horrific slumps.
Speaker 2: So what do you do in tonight's game? You take
the under, Dude.
Speaker 3: The under is the play, and I know it's five
and a half, but if you look at this, this
is are a lot of ones on tap New Jersey.
Speaker 2: New Jersey just put up two goals against Seattle.
Speaker 3: But before that they played Vancouver and it was a
or game. But Edmonton two to one, Calgary two to one, Carolina,
they only scored one goal. Winnipeg only scored one goal
their last two games. The game before that they held
their opponent to one goal. The game before that was
two nothing. One of these teams is not getting more
than one goal tonight, Andrew, and I don't think the
other is getting five. So you know, a three to
two game feels like a very realistic score to me,
and that's still under the total. I love the under
in this game, Andrew.
Speaker 4: You know what, I lean that way as well. I do.
Speaker 1: And I think that realistically, when you look at how
the Winnipeg Jets typically respond, I kind of correlate them
to the Minnesota Wild. Maybe not the Minnesota of these days,
but there's certain teams that when they respond after getting embarrassed,
and I use that word from the coaches quote, they
respond with defense.
Speaker 4: Right. So I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I think regardless of who wins, I could see a
three to two, But there's a there's a reason it
is at five and a half, is the total.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, gotta gotta get through that empty net. If
it's three two, that's for sure. But I think three
two is a big number.
Speaker 3: Two, Like I, Andrew, what would you say this game
has more likely to be two to one or four
to three.
Speaker 4: Definitely two to one for sure, and.
Speaker 2: Then the overs.
Speaker 3: Then the under is the play because two to one
still gives you two extra goals.
Speaker 1: And I think that when you look at this game,
like the reason why I lean towards Winnipeg those because
I was looking at some of the websites I used
for the recent stats, and Jake Allen eight seventy eight
save percentage last three games. Hella Buck's kind of getting
back to his old form. I think, unfortunately, one of
the reasons why the Jets weren't playing the way they
were was that people didn't realize.
Speaker 4: I don't think pres how much Hellabuck carried them.
Speaker 1: Would you agree with me on that, like how much
they really were the regular season?
Speaker 3: But yeah, Andrew, they got They're loaded on defense, they
got talent up front, they got three solid lines.
Speaker 2: You know this, this is a good Winnipeg team.
Speaker 3: Dude, Washington Redskins, right, Jets are an over team now
for the most part.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean they've gone under.
Speaker 3: You know, they pushed last game at six, and they
went under three in a row before that. They're twenty
nine to twenty to the over this year. They're not
going to end up nine games well multi eighteen games
or fifteen games over when all's said and done, I
would look at a team that's twenty nine and twenty
to the over that's perennially played to the under as
a team that is about to start playing a whole
lot unders.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this, pres because for me,
with my handicapping, I've said that sometimes I have a
bad habit of trying to decide too many times when
a team is going to snap out of a slump
instead of just betting on hot teams. Like I still
to this day haven't bet on Colorado enough this year.
Speaker 4: I'm sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think I bet on them what.
Speaker 1: I bet on them on MLK Day And that might
have been like one of the few times I have
So with two teams like this, do you kind of
wait until one team starts to get rolling or how
do you Cause I know you're like me, like you
like to, you know, have the team that's a little
bit hot before you get going with them.
Speaker 4: How do you approach these struggling teams.
Speaker 3: Well, so you're gonna loo it was five six games
in a row, I'm gonna bet the second game after
you win one. So that's sort of how I will
attack it. So here you have a scenario where New
Jersey has won three won three in a row. They
beat Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. Then they lost to Seattle,
but they outshot Seattle twenty nine to eighteen, so I
think New Jersey had their powerplay was two of or
I did not watch the New Jersey Seattle game, but
if Seattle scored four goals on eighteen shots, one would
assume that New Jersey played outstanding that game and had
bad buck luck.
Speaker 2: So I think.
Speaker 3: And New Jersey has also won five of seven, So
you know, I'm looking at New Jersey and saying, Okay,
they're in the zone, they're playing good hockey. It's time
to bet on them. Whereas Winnipeg won four in a row,
then they lost to then they won one, then they
lost to So now I'm starting to think with Winnipeg
maybe they haven't entered the I'm gonna win eight out
of ten, So I'm waiting for Winnipeg. If winnebeg wins tonight,
I'm looking a bet on them in their very next game,
except it'll be in Tampa Bay, so that's not true.
Tampa Bay, Florida and Dallas coming up next. For Winnipeg,
they might be in a lot of trouble.
Speaker 1: That's the thing when you forecast these schedules and you
look at it because like, what would you rather have
a tough schedule to start the season or a tough
schedule to.
Speaker 4: End the season and end things. Now we're getting into
the schedule to end.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And they're getting into the point now though where
they wish they had a couple of lighter games right now.
Remind people at home, guys, only about five or six
games left for some of these teams before the Olympic break.
It will be a two week pause in the NHL,
So a lot of these teams really pushing for some
strong results before the Olympic break. And I will be
handicapping the Olympics, and as I mentioned yesterday with Andy Lang,
I'm excited. I'm gonna be doing a postgame show with
the Hockey News for every single Olympic game. You guys
can catch me on that as well. All right, really quick,
I'll give you guys my props here for today. Yesterday
we did cash a plus two forty. These are a
handful of picks that I do like in one skin.
I'll remind you guys, as I do every single day,
you can individually bet these as well.
Speaker 4: We're gonna go to the game that Pres talked about.
Speaker 1: Liking the over in over one and a half goals
first period, Jason Zucker with one point, Josh Don with
one point, and Josh Don with two shots on goal
or more. This takes us guys to plus six hundred.
This looks very very doable for me here with two
guys on Buffalo to do very well. Two points plus
two shots for Josh don't and over one and a
half goals in the first period Zucker with a point,
done with a point and Dome over two shots on goal.
All right, that will do it. Puck time, Pres four
percent best bet money line for you guys, don't miss
it five dollars.
Speaker 4: Tuesday best bet for me.
Speaker 1: Done very well with the totals, especially the team totals
at wager Talk and only five bucks right now at
wader Talking.
Speaker 4: Thanks so much, guys.
Speaker 1: We your talk today comes up at twelve o'clock Eastern
time tomorrow. Oh you're on, okay, right on with Andy
and Dan. We'll see you tomorrow with myself and don
Buster right here on puck time
