Speaker 1: Are happy Friday, guys. Let's talk some hockey. We've got
multiple games on the board in the NHL. We've got picks, predictions, props,
total sides, all kinds of action for here on a Friday.
Do not forget about these same game parlay and yes,
today it actually will be a same game parlay. So
we'll try and cash a ticket. And guess what, we've
got my same game parlay on the early games. So
if you guys looking for some early action, well two
pm Eastern we have a game in Europe featuring the
Penguins and the Predators, and of course everyone's favorite segment
to end the week, Carmines six and sixties. So hey, Carm,
you know what, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday is always the busier slates.
But as I keep saying, sometimes the Friday, sometimes the Wednesday,
sometimes the Monday. You can find some profit on these
Friday slates. And it's not a bad board here today
four games on tap, but only three night games. Is
one of them going on in Europe this afternoon. How's
it going, Carm, it's.
Speaker 2: Going, it's going. Well. I'm a little exhausted Andrew yesterday,
let me give my face and color there we go.
I was a little exhausted because I was the designated
driver yesterday driving from Toronto down or north to Toronto
down to bemo Field to watch the Canada versus Ecuador game.
I'm telling you, logistically, it was a nightmare at the game,
Andrew only because they're renovating the stadium in order to
make it where there's at least forty thousand seats available.
It was sold out last night, absolutely sold out. And
I thought it was going to be Canadian red. It
was sixty five percent people with Ecuadorian flags draped around them, jerseys,
just everything. And let me tell you, there was some
Ecuadorian women who are rockets. So I don't know if
I could say that on TV, but I'm telling you,
my friends were absolutely loving it. I was the designated driver,
so I took them there. I took them to the game.
We had a great time with them. And and if
you watch the end of yesterday show, I said, it
wouldn't surprise me if this game finished nil nil, and
it finished nil nil. That was paid five to one
plus five hundred in that game.
Speaker 1: If that game wasn't really a good game for the
crowd of people that complains about soccer being boring, Like
your buddy, how that game is not. I'm not saying
that soccer has to have the four to three games
by any means, but the nil nil I can't ever
get behind that one. That's that's tough.
Speaker 2: This this the scoring is completely different. If the NFL,
every TV was one point, the games would be four
to three and you'd be like, oh, this is like
the most boring game ever. If soccer every goal was
worth nine and you see like a final score Canada
sixty three, Ecuador forty five, You're like, oh, wow, that
must have been a great game. Listen. It's just like basketball.
So anyways, if you like it, you like it. If
you don't, you don't, and if you've made money on
it yesterday, then congratulations to you. Just like the people
who took the pod yesterday. The Calgary Flames, I got
a message from you all in caps empty net goal
four seconds left, Calgary wins it to nothing.
Speaker 1: You just knew that play was going to need an
empty net goal. Carme, you had a feeling if they
were going to win, that it was going to be
an empty net goal for Calgary.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The whole time, I'm tracking the game and it's
like it's one nil. And then I got home and
I turned it on to watch the game. It was
one nothing. To watch the watching the game, I'm like,
if if Calgary let's in a goal, there's no way
they're scoring a couple more. This game is either going
to finish one nothing or two nothing. You could just
sense it. They got the empty editor of the pod
gets there and I have another pod and it'll be
in the game. We're not going to discuss today, but
I'll discuss why in the pod, which I think is better.
So all four games are covered one way or another.
But Andrew, let's kick it off man, Pittsburgh and Nashville.
This is gay. This game is at two pm in Stockholm,
Sweden as part of the Global series. The Penns Andrew
are like minus one twenty seven. They're the favorites here.
You know, me and Low's kid, if he's in the
chat's gonna be like karm with his fading of the Penguins.
I want to fade them here. But how do you
fade Pittsburgh against a Nashville team that's won one of
their last like eleven games or ten games. I just
I can't bring myself to do it because you know
that the Pens are gonna what they bring to a game,
even when they lose, they compete. I just I just
don't get it here. The goalies are already named. It's
Sheilov's and Yusosorus Sorrows are the goalies in today's game.
One guy from Latvia, one guy from Finland. So I'm
sure that they'll have some family in the house in
Sweden for this one, Andrew. But I gotta go. I
gotta go Pittsburgh in this one one twenty seven. It's
not gonna make my card and I'm not going to
bet it. But that's the lean that I have is
it's more it has to do, Andrew, with the fact
that I can't take Nashville. I can't make a case
for taking Nashville. I can take a case, hey, maybe
they can win a game that's not in North America
and it's a change of venue, but I can't take it.
So for me, a process of elimination. If you're not
gonna bet one team, the only other thing you can
do is look to the other team, and it's the
Pittsburgh Penguins minus one twenty seven That has to be
the worst breakdown of why I'm leaning on a game, Andrew.
But that's what it is.
Speaker 1: Well, Krm, the gloves are off, man, because I'm taking
the dog. I'm taking the dog here Nashville Predators one
in eighth their last nine games, and this game opens
up as a pick. As a pick, well, what's the
deal here with that one? Then you see a little
bit of money trickle in, trickle and trickle in a
little bit here on the Pittsburgh Penguins. But I'm a
big believer that sometimes all a team needs to get
back on track to change what's going on with the
mojo around their team is a row trip. And this
time it's not an East road trip or a West
Coast road trip. It's a European road trip. And you
talked about it yourself, karm. This Pittsburgh Penguins team was
playing very, very well for a while, and you forecasted
when they were gonna go on a little bit of
a losing streak. And now I think they've lost what
three of the last four games. They haven't looked nearly
the same, and I feel like defensively they're starting to
get exposed a little bit here. She loves. He is
the box of chocolates. You literally do not know what
you're going to get from him. I think that over
in Europe you're gonna get a really good start here
from UC Sorrows. The rest benefits him as he plays
a ton of games for the Nashville Predators. I do
worry this could get into a track meet, but part
of me believes that this game could be the maybe
the lower scoring game, and then they play on Sunday again,
and that game could get messy, and that game could
be the more action pack game. So we'll try and
be careful with our expectation as far as too many goals.
But I think Nashville's the side here. I think that
after they went one and eighth their last nine games,
they get a handful of days off, they get the reset,
and this is a team that, if you look on paper,
is a hell of a lot closer to Pittsburgh than
what these two teams have played like this season. And
if you look at the odds, like if you look
at how these teams have played their last ten games overall,
you know the stats, the emetrics will tell you, Okay, yeah,
it's definitely a day to look towards the Pittsburgh Penguins,
but I think conceptually, big picture, this is a big
trip here for the Nashville Predators. We had a comment
earlier talking about when Pittsburgh arrived versus when Nashville arrived.
I don't see that really being too much of an issue.
They both arrived roughly around the same time. I think
it was one day difference maybe in this one, but
I lean towards the Nashville side here, Karen, And I'll
tell you the more I looked at it overnight, the
more cause I was like, ah, I kind of look
at these games where it's kind of like coming back
from Christmas break or NHL All Star Break, where you
see goals if it's been a couple of days off
for these teams. They're in Europe. But I'm a true
believer that one of these games is going to go under,
and one of these games is going to go over.
And I think that maybe it'll be the Sunday game
that goes over. So maybe we see a low scoring
start to this game, you say, Sorrow's plays phenomenal, and
then on Sunday we see a jam packed, higher scoring game.
So that made it a little bit tricky for me
with my same game parlay, and I really wanted to
give everybody a same game parlay to sweat out while
they're at work or while they're home on a Friday
for the afternoon game. But we'll see carm Any thoughts
for you total wise, like, do you think we're going
to see a bang here in this one or maybe
the Sunday game is the one that's more exciting.
Speaker 2: I think we're against each other even on the total Andrew,
because you know, I look at it and Archers she
loves hasn't had the greatest run over the last little while.
Obviously with Tristan Jari injured that you know, that's a
lot to do with it. You know, he's sort of
taking over the bulk of it. But I look at
it and I see he's one one in three his
last five outings, a decent save percentage nine to fourteen,
but still they're losing games. I would I would think
I would want to take the over in the first
game and not the second game. And the reason why
is because if the goalie is Miroshov, the goalie they
called up from the AHL, he played extremely well despite
losing that game in his only start. He's a pretty
good goalie. I think he's the He's the goalie the
Penns future, So you get him him in goal on Sunday.
I think the Pen's play better in front of him.
They always want to protect their goalie. I think tonight
or this afternoon might be the one in which we
see we see the goals. You know, you look at
the Pens and both these teams when they come back
from this trip, I think people are going to be like, oh,
I got to fade these two teams that are returning
from Sweden. Pittsburgh's gonna have four days off before they
play a game, and there it's a three game homestand
for them where they play Minnesota Wild, they play the
Seattle Cracking, and they play the Buffalo Sabers. So you
look at it and that isn't the toughest, although the
Seattle game will probably be the toughest for them because
they'll come back, they'll still have legs I feel in
the game against Minnesota, but then the Seattle game is
the second of a back to back, and if you're
going to feel it, that's where you're going to feel it.
So I might want to circle that Seattle game against Pittsburgh.
If you're looking at an advance game, that it probably
will make my card, I think, Andrew, because I think
I'll get the right price on it as well too
on Pittsburgh. But other than that, some afternoon hockey, I
can watch some soccer, I can watch some hockey. I'm
looking forward to it.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of jealous of you came. You're you're used
to having afternoon in action to watch with soccer, but
this is new for me, so I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Andrew, I think one team that's not looking forward
to this road trip, I'm going to say, and that
could be wrong with this is Vancouver in this next game,
Vancouver and Carolina. The Canucks in this one are a
big underdog some of the sites, which it completely confuses
me why some of the sites are are still listing
thatcher Demco as a possible starter tonight. There is no
way thatcher Demko is starting tonight. He was pulled from
his game. The reports are that he could miss between
two and three weeks. He's being re He was reevaluated
on Wednesday, evaluated on Thursday as well too, and it
could very well be Lancning in goal tonight for Vancouver.
You look at it, lancoln in three and five in
his eight starts this season, three fifty six goals against average,
eight eighty five save percentage. Not the greatest, but this
is the number that stands out. And what the play
I like in this one is is goals because in
his eight starts that the over has gone six to
one and one, so there's only been one game in
which it is stayed under the total. With him in
net and other players that could be missing for Vancouver tonight,
Quinn Hughes, he made the trip, did not practice on Thursday,
was not on the ice due O'Connor was given the
day off from practice. It was a sick day for him,
so he wasn't feeling well. If both of them play,
they're not one hundred percent tonight, Andrew, even with those
guys are aren't. If they aren't playing or if they're
playing tonight, neither one is gonna be one hundred percent.
This just seems like a spot for Carolina to score
some goals. He could probably look at the team total.
I'm not sure if you know what it is or not,
but it's such a huge line, and rightfully so, it
should be in the minus two to fifty range. Even
the regulation is a little high on this one at
minus one eighty on this Carolina team. But I just
don't see Carolina's coming off a home loss, and they've
only lost two straight games or back to back games
once this season. It's early on, but that shows you
the consistency of this team. So over six and a
half for me, what are your thoughts?
Speaker 1: You know, Karen? The thing is here, like this Vancouver
team is just there's just struggling right now. They are
just simply struggling. And when I saw the interview with
Quinn Hughes, the guy looked almost like disinterested, Like he
looked disinterested to the media. He just I don't know,
he didn't look like the same guy that we're used
to seeing. And when I look at this Canucks team,
whether it's been against good teams or bad teams, they've
had trouble closing games out. Like they were competitive against
the Avalanche, they're competitive against the Jets, and don't get
me wrong, they've played some top teams recently. Doesn't get
much better against this Hurricanes team here, karm, But I'm
gonna avoid me and you being head to head here
totally calm because I'm on the under one and a
half in the first period. I think that with Vancouver
right now, it's clearly not working for them to win
and have success in overs. So they're probably going to
have defense on their mind. Defensive performance, you know, good quality,
shutdown game in the middle of the ice, protect their
own end a lot more so. I kind of like
the under one and a half year Carolina is going
to be as desperate as they can be. They're gonna
be motivated, I guess we should say, and you don't
really want to go against a motivated Carolina team, especially
at home. But this Canucks team, if you look at it,
they've been going over the total a lot lately. You know,
five to two wild, five to four win for them
against the Preds, five to two win for the Blackhawks
over them, four to three win. I mean, they've seen
six straight games go over the total and they only
won one of them or two of them. So it's
not being very successful for them. So I think something's
got to change here. They might have to say, hey, guys,
rolling the pucks out and saying first to four wins
is evidently not working for us is kind of my
only issue here with this KRM. So that's why I'm
looking at the no goal first ten and I'm looking
at the under one and a half in the first period.
I think if we see anything in this game that
revolves defense, it might be early. And I see your
point here, Karen, that you made talking about rolling for
three to four strong lines. I mean, that's the thing.
They're just that much better, this Carolina team. But do
you see my point kind of about Vancouver. And I'll
tell you what if I think maybe me and you
can find some type of compromise because when we look
at this game here, the Vancouver team total under two
and a half could be the look specifically looking at
them and fading their team total because Carolina's team total
over three and a half. You don't want to get
in that ballpark. It's minus three fifty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's a bad time for Demko's been good, Andrew.
It's a bad time for Demko obviously to get injured.
But this is like the fourth in the last two years,
three years, the fourth time he's gone on like an
extended leave. If that's the case, and we'll obviously find
out some news. But this is like a three games
in four nights situation for Vancouver. This is the first
of the thing, and you know they left. You have
to look at travel as well too. You know they
left Vancouver on Wednesday. That is a long flight as
well too. From Vancouver to Carolina is a very long flight.
Do they have the legs? They had a practice day,
A couple guys missed, you know what I mean? And
I get it, man, he mentioned, you know, Joe O'Connor's
on the third line. But that's why I talk about
the fact that Carolina rolls out those lines. You need
like everybody in the lineup in order to beat this
team unless they take a night off. Carolina takes a
night off. And that's the thing is sometimes that secondary
scoring comes from the third line. So the matchups I
think are important. With that said, so three's and four nights,
we'll see what the goaltending situation is. You have to
figure Lincoln is going to get two of the three games,
Petera gets one of the three games of probably the
first of the back to back, so likely lancoln In,
Petera lancoln In. As far as there are three games go.
But we'll see teams and your teams with a lot
more injuries than the Vancouver Canucks have won games. So
I'm not saying that it's Carolina or nothing here. I
just that's why I'm looking at the over here. If
Carolina has any fight or Vancouver has any fight, and
they're gonna need to score some goals or play like
a completely defensive game, and maybe under Rick Talckett they
could do that. With Adam it's Adam foot right the
coach there. With him, I'm not so.
Speaker 1: Sure nobody's liking him. It's Adam foot Yeah, nobody's liking
what he's bringing. But I like man.
Speaker 2: I liked him when he was playing.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you think it's a problem though, I think
this has been something that people have been discussing for
a while. And maybe you know, we're biased being in Canada.
We hear the Canadian media and stuff, but a lot
of people say the Canadian teams are scared to rebuild.
And look, I'm happy as a Canadians fan that they
did a little mini three or four year build and
it finally happened. But when you look at a team
like the Vancouver Canucks and you look at a team
like the Calgary Flames, they're stuck in no man's land.
I love using that expression across multiple sports. They're in
no man's land. They are not contenders, they are not
bottom of the barrel. They are just somewhere in between
right now, and it kind of makes it difficult to handicap.
But the funny thing is is that I've talked to fans.
I was on a Canucks podcast the other day, and
these are die hard guys, all buddies that are Canucks fans,
and they are advocating Karm for a rebuild. Like it's
not often that the fan base itself is saying, Hey,
I want us to be really shitty for the next
three years and we can get some like how awesome
would it have been if they got Gavin McKenna, if
the Canucks were able to get a younger superstar. I mean,
people wonder why Canadian teams don't get the first overall
pick very often, and it doesn't happen that much. It's
because the teams won't tank. You know. The Vancouver Canucks
general manager, in my opinion, Karm is making a horrible decision.
I think it's worse than Calgary, and you know what,
it starts with Quinn Hughes because you know, I think
that he almost acts like he doesn't even want to
be there anymore. He's kind of fed up with the team.
They already got rid of J. T. Miller. Once you
get rid of Quinn Hughes or Elias Petterson, what's left
with this team anyway? You might as well rebuild.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not the greatest thing there. It's you know, they've
had some very good players Andrew over the years. They're
the two brothers as well too, that played in Vancouver.
It's just they just can't since that Stanley Cup lost.
Was it to where they burned down Vancouver pretty much?
I think they lost to the Rangers and they burned
down Vancouver with the writing that's so Uncanadian, We're always
so nice, that's so on Canadian or whatever. But we'll see,
you know, the salary cap comes into but salary caps
going up progressively over the next couple of years as
well too, so there's more money available. I think the
San Jose Sharks with was it Kevin Weeks, what was it,
that pretty much sold off everybody moved them, swallowed up
some of these teams salary cap money in order to
get some prospects. They're doing the right way. They're going
to rebuild that team. Sometimes you have to do it.
You know, they were losing their fan base, so you
had to do it. The last thing you want to
do is lose a fan base. And then there's some
teams who were just stuck in the mud. And I
hate to make fun of them because you know they
are here, but Toronto may beliefs they are just stuck
in the mud. It is the same thing, guys, over
and over and over again, like kind of like the
sun coming up every morning. They don't want to rebuild here,
but Toronto would be the perfect place Andrew for a
franchise to rebuild, to blow it up and start anew.
And I'll explain to you guys why the weight list
they no longer take names in Toronto. For the weight list.
There are fifty thousand plus people on a weight list
trying to get season tickets. So the games are always
sold out. It's Corporate Canada, Corporate Ontario, Corporate Toronto that
owns a majority of the tickets and that's why you
see seats empty, the good expensive ones they don't have
to worry about losing the fan base. They could blow
up the franchise, absolutely blow up the franchise, start anew
get rid of these high paid guys, suck completely for
two three years, and start rebuilding your team through the draft,
through prospects and what have you. But they won't do
it because MLSC is all about profits, and I don't
get it. The games are sold out, so what more
profit do you need? Then I sold out arena each
and every day.
Speaker 1: Well, it's kind of like Boston. Like if you look
at Boston, there was always a joke that they would
win one round every year, karm one round, and then
they would get bounced in the second round and it
wouldn't even be close. It wouldn't even be close. So
you know, Don Sweeney is his name. People used to
say Don just because you know how much money those
teams make from playoff games, right, Like, they are expected
to have forty one home playoff game or home games
a year, but you give them a handful of extra games.
That's pure profit. And keep in mind the players get
bonuses and stuff, but their salaries aren't actually accounting for
the playoffs, so it's a lot more profit percentage for
these owners going to the playoffs. So even like look
at the Hurricanes for example, Like we just talked about them,
karm their Cup favorites again this season they're top two
or three, right, I mean, this is a this is
a year we see it happen every year with them
as well. They win the first round within their own
division and then when they play a team outside their division,
they lose, like the Florida Panthers or whoever it might be.
So gonna be interesting to see what happens with a
team like the Hurricanes, because you don't want to be
stuck in the middle. It's kind of a weird position
to be in, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, And that's just it. You just become one
of those franchises each and every year and then you
wonder ten years later, wow, we haven't made their kind
of like the Savers. I'll poke fun at the team
that I like the cheer for every once in a while.
What thirteen straight years, fourteen straight years this team has
missed the playoffs? Is they're stuck? Kevin Adams. They got
to get rid of the guy because he's probably one
of the worst gms that I can see. You know,
I've heard the discussion of bringing in Brendan Shanahan, but
he was a president in Toronto and they didn't do anything. So,
you know, with that said, I'm not sure that's the
right fit. Andrew. Let's move on Utah the Mammoth against
the New York Islanders. The Islanders roll the seven last night,
baby and o t h and beat the Vegas Golden
Knights four to three, roll the seven. But second of
a back to back there two to zero in back
to backs, Andrew, this year, where are you going here?
Because I'm gonna steal your thunder if you don't. If
you don't do it.
Speaker 1: I think you know where I'm probably gonna go there.
You know me, and we do shows together for years.
You probably know where I'm going here. We'll see. But
I gotta ask, did you see how that game ended yesterday? Like?
It was a ridiculous ending. I was awake watching it.
I couldn't believe it. I mean, it was two nothing
down for the Vegas Golden Knights. Islanders were up, then
all of a sudden, it's three to two, then three
three were off to overtime. And it was kind of
unique because you never really see a player take a
penalty in overtime. You saw a penalty take place in overtime,
so there's the delayed penalty. So you've got, all of
a sudden, a four on three. Jack Eichel hops over
the boards and you've got a delayed penalty. They're skating around,
skating around. Okay, it's all good. Goalie gets the puck,
everyone settled down. Four to three, power play in overtime.
All of a sudden, the odds shifted to minus two
thirty Live for the Vegas Golden Knights. Calm, what happens
about ten seconds in to the power play for the
Vegas Golden Knights, JP Pajo goes ahead or JG. Pajo,
I should say, goes on the breakaway one on one.
And who's the guy skating backwards playing defense, Mitch Marner?
And what did the analysts always say if you have
a forward skating backwards and playing defense, it's not a
recipe for success. And no, it's he didn't he didn't
get in the way of the shot, he didn't help
play defense. In fact, he screened his own goalie and
he screened Schmid. And it was top corner game where
what a way for a game winner? You can give
take a penalty and all sudden in your head. But anyway,
that was wild. But you know Chris Auto, he always
talks about this second half of a back to back.
You're almost more you're more inclined to fade that team
if they had won the first half of the back
to back than if they had lost the first half
of the back to back. And this is kind of
the same scenario here. I mean, look, they were up
to nothing, so maybe they deserve to win that game.
And then they ended up coming back after being down
three to two and they went in overtime. Here Utah
had that bad East Coast road trip card. But guess what,
they came back at home and won. But here's the
deal here, in their last handful of games, I think
it's like four or five games, maybe even six games.
Do you know who the only team is that Utah
has won against the Buffalo Sabers. You gotta win more
games than against one team, the Buffalo Sabers. You can't
just win against one team. And so this is still
gonna be a dialed in Utah team, a focused Utah team,
And for whatever reason, I got to give credit to
them at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City. Because
this Utah team plays well in the first period, first
period minus a half goal, plus one twenty. Give me
the play here, the don Buster Special. This is what
I like. You can look at the first period over,
but it's minus one forty. Forget about that. Let's look
for a good start at home. And it makes it
that much better for me. The fact that you have
the Islanders coming off a win, not coming off a
loss and motivated and feeling pissed off. They're coming off
a win, feeling good about themselves. And I'll end with this,
karm what would you rather if you had a back
to back setup, play Utah and then the second game
play Vegas. Or play Vegas and then the second game
play Utah. Because I know if I was a coach,
I'd rather my team play Vegas the first half of
the back to back. That's what happened. They got the win.
Now I hope they take this Utah team lightly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to take a side in this game,
but I think by by giving you the play that
I like, I'm pretty much taking a side in this one.
The Islanders are streaky. If nothing else, you look at
the Islanders season as a whole. Right now, they lose
their first three, they win the next four, they lose
their next three, they win their next two, they lose two,
and now they've won straight. This is a team that
is small little streaks, but they won three in a row.
You know, the problem is is that with every Islanders
road loss this season, they've allowed four more goals Utah's
five and one at home. Haven't played a lot of games.
Has been a road heavy schedule for them. If you
like Utah, you have to take the team total. I
think that's the right player against the Islanders. It's the
team totals three and a half minus one thirty so
lower viig. I know you'd normally like Andrew, and I
know you like the plus money big on those ones,
but you can't take over two and a half because
it's just insane price. And four and a half I
think is there's absolutely no value in taking four and
a half, no matter what plus price they give you.
I can see Utah getting there with the team total
scoring four goals tonight against the Islanders team that's on
the second of a back to back. Obviously, a crokan
started yesterday, so it's a big save Dave in goal
tonight against Utah and they're playing well at home, as
I mentioned, five and one on home ice, So I'm
going to go with the Utah Mammoth. Over three and
a half goals minus one thirty is a team total
like it.
Speaker 1: I like it, KRM, I do like it, And I'll
tell you like sometimes there's there's certain people and certain
handicappers that care about goaltending matchups, and sometimes you just
don't look at it and it doesn't matter to you
as much. I think there's certain situations where you look
at the goaltending matchups and you know, yesterday was an example.
I would say with the Anaheim Ducks, like right now,
I don't want to go against the Anaheim Ducks. With
Lucas Dostelle in net, he's looking very good. And with
this Islanders team, Karm, I don't really want to go
against them. If Ilia Sarrokan is in net, even though
he's been a little bit better this year or a
little bit shakier this year, it is kind of interesting
to have the second half of back to back situation
and you have to have a different type of goalie
to work with here, So big save Dave eight eight
four say percentage three four to one GAA And you
got to think that Utah is sitting here. They're fresh,
they're ready to go, they're locked in, and meanwhile you
have a Islanders team fresh off a very exciting and
underdog ticket cashed. I feel like this is a really
good spot for them. So KRM, I think that if
anybody likes that over in this game, you just look
towards this one team because I think we're going to
see a flat spot out of the New York On
one thing, I got to give them credit for man,
they do look a lot deeper this year. They do
look a lot deeper. But how many teams? Like ask
Kim is what I'm trying to say, would you say
that you really really care about starter to back up?
Like obviously you think about Winnipeg, like if HELLI Buck's
not in the net, like you know, there's a you know,
the same.
Speaker 2: Conference in comery. Yeah, I get it. There's very few
goaltending duels I think where you know, I look at
them like, Okay, I'm perfectly happy with either goalie being
in a net, maybe Colorado because you know that they
can still get you goals. Obviously Mackenzie Blackwood's back. They
just re signed Wedgewood to a contract or extended him
as well too, so they got to be happy with
him and how he picked up the slack because they
had a very good start to the season with Mackenzie
Blackwood injured. So I think it's the one time over
the last few years where you can sort of look
at Colorado and not be too worried about their goaltending issues. Conversely,
Andrew the Edmonton Orders, it's sometimes it's like I don't
care who's in net. I don't have confidence in either goalie,
whether it's Piccard or Skinner, any other goaltending duel for you, Andrew.
In the NHL, you know, I thought the Leafs last
year with still Arts and Joseph Wall was pretty good.
Still Arts is he's just he's just not playing well
right now.
Speaker 1: Well, you know Colorado right now with Wedgewood and Blackwood,
those are those are really good and you've got obviously
a good team over there. And I will say, as
funny as this sounds, because my Montreal Canadians just got
smacked back to back games, and I mean they got
smacked last night bad, But at this point right now,
there's really not much of a difference in both, but
a lot of fans prefer the backup goalie, so it's
not really a huge favorable opinion on one guy over
the other, and if there is, there's more so a
favor in the backup. Yeah, Buffalo sabers, how about them?
They're carrying three goalies. Who would have thought that would
have been the answer for the Buffalo to carry three
goalies right now?
Speaker 2: Can you can you start all three at the same time,
because that's the only way they could cover the nets.
It started all that thing at the same time.
Speaker 1: They actually have three good goalies. It's just now right
now the team is you know, got to play well
in front of them. But I think it's a good
idea because if you release one guy, they're going to
get put on waivers, uh and stuff like that. So
all right, Caren, we've got three different segments. We'll be
quick with these. But we have the pod, we have
six and sixty, and we have my same game parlay.
If you want to do your pod, then I can
do my same game parlay. Give you a break, and
then we can do the six and sixty to close
it out.
Speaker 2: That sounds like an excellent idea because you guys are
going to be hearing a screeching burden the next little while.
Uh My wife just had to leave for an appointment,
and that thing is already starting to the little creature
is already starting to make noise. So with that said,
I will start with the pod congratulations if you followed
yesterday pod gets there. This one's another plus money game,
and it's the game that we did not cover today,
which is the Saint Louis Blues and Philadelphia Flyers. And
I'm gonna take the Flyers here plus one twenty and
I'll explain why this is a team that with their
new coach, obviously Rick Tackett, he has them playing almost
similar to what he was doing in Vancouver when they
were successful at least during the regular season, which is
playing defense. They don't score a lot of goals. They've
only scored forty four goals thus far the season, but
they've only allowed forty one. That is the lowest amount
of goals scored across all of the NHL, and there's
some very good defensive teams. They've only allowed forty one
goals thus far this season, and on the season There's
only been two games in which they've lost where they've
lost by more than two goals. This is a team
that competes each and every night. They don't do it
pretty a lot of the times. This is the first
of a back to back for them, so I think
we're gonna see Radar in goal tonight for them, and
the Blues are just too inconsistent for me at the moment.
I am going to take the plus one twenty with
the Philadelphia Flyers tonight and let's see if we can
increase that bank roll by another two hundred and forty dollars.
Speaker 1: Karm I like it. Man, It's freaky Friday. Some dogs
have to bark on Freaky Friday, and that's one that
I like as well. This Flyers team, they're a bit
boring to watch. I gotta say, they're not the most
exciting team to watch by any means. But they suffocate teams.
That's what somebody said that during my live show last night.
They suffocate teams. They make games boring. But that's the
Ric Talcket way of playing hockey and the way of coaching.
Make things boring. Play well defensively and you're getting a
pretty good plus money price on that one. So and
with those two teams, Karen, would you really want to
lay juice with any of them? I think either way
you take the dog in that matchup, right.
Speaker 2: No, I think if you're one of the biggest mistakes
you can make is I think in sports betting is
it's not about lane viig, but it's lane vig with
bad teams, even if they're playing another bad team. It's
just you can't you can't show it if it's a
team that's underperforming, but you see some improvement in their play.
Kind of like the reason why I liked the Calgary
on the puck line yesterday as opposed to just the
money line is you know, I watched that game against
Saint Louis that was three two at the end of
the second period and finished three to two, and I
thought the Flames player are playing extremely well. They're generating chances,
they're just not scoring. But they're playing some good d
as well too. If if they can continue that when
they get home, it was a good spot to take
them to win, and they did. So I'll let you
do your pod while I go and feed some crackers
to this little parrots.
Speaker 1: And I feel like, I feel like it's just a Friday.
It has to be a Friday. If we're hearing those
noises in the background, it's like everybody's in that Friday mood.
And you gotta guess seeds or some crackers or whatever
it is going back there because something's going on in
the background there, or maybe you're just getting some celebrated,
some celebrations for how successful your picks have been lately.
Shout out to b B says, do you guys read
the chat? Of course we read the chat ice ex
talking about Dan Vladar. Gotta love Robert here saying going
to a pain trying race is more exciting than the
Flyers offense. Timothy's a Flyers fan, so of course he says, yeah,
they smother teams. It was Timothy last night watching my
live show, which I always do appreciate you guys to
tune into that. All right, guys, let's get to the
same game parlay. This is not a prop parlay by
any means. This is a same game parlay. And yes
it's a same game parlay, but this is actually just
one game. All right. We're focusing in on the NHL
Global Series game Pittsburgh versus Nashville in Sweden. We've got
a handful of picks here. I love these plays. This
is backed by head to head matchup. This is backed
by exposing teams weaknesses. Let's cash this ticket here, guys
in the afternoon and start this season off on a
great note, or this weekend off on a great note.
I should say, all right, let's pull it up here.
If we have it, Dan, I'll there we go. My bad,
I didn't know you were there, Dan, all right. Crosby
three plus shots on goal. Dan, that's completely my fault
that I messed that up. Crosby three plus shots on goal.
Shay two plus shots on goal O'Reilly at least one
point and you say, sorrows over twenty three and a
half saves, Sidney. Crosby has a great head to head
track record against this Nashville Predators team. Brady Shay from
the point has been doing fantastic two plus shots on
goal O'Reilly and sorrows over twenty three and a half
saves there. And tough spot there for O'Reilly because he
is a little bit of a funk. But I still
think it's a really good spot for him to get
the job done. So this is plus eight to fifty
guys plus eight fifty in one game, two pm Eastern start.
Let's cash this ticket. Let's start the weekend off on
a really good note. So and I'll tell you what
carm you don't really get plus you know, twenty three
and a half for save props very often, and obviously
we have to rely on Pittsburgh getting a lot of
shots off on sorrows. But I think in Europe a
goalie like that, he's not Swedish, he's finished, but I
think he's going to show up quite a bit so
over twenty three and a half staves and I would
recommend people single bet that one. I just bet that.
I do think people could single bet.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't think Charles is finished by any means.
He's a good goalie. Andrew, So he's all right, He's
he's alright. I like the guy from a lot via.
I think he bounces back. Let's go. She loves and
can't they just name these goalies, you know, something that
is easier for this old guy to pronounce better Andrew.
So there's been some weird names for goalies in the NHL,
like it's before your time, but there used to be
a goalie called Pete Peters. Andrew, like, who names their
kid Peter when your last name is Peters, Like Peter Peters.
It's gotta be the laziest name thing that you could
come up with. But Pete Peters, Yes, Andrew, look it up.
I believe he played for the Washington Capitals. Maybe someone
in the chat we'll remember that anyways, Abs relic who
won the soccer game last night? I told you guys
at the end of yesterday's show, wouldn't surprise me if
the game finished nil nil, bet the draw finished nil
nil plus five hundred if you cash that ticket. Okay?
With that said, Dan Alexander, you have the stopwatch ready.
I'm waiting for.
Speaker 1: Dance, guys, I have to stop watch ready, Karm do
your segment all right? Shut up?
Speaker 2: Then, if only you guys could hear what Dan was
saying in my ear, It's just he's an Eagles fan
and he chose violence this morning.
Speaker 1: So with that said in your ear, Karm, I think.
Speaker 2: Is it okay?
Speaker 1: It's in our all right.
Speaker 2: With that said, we are ready. This is the six
and sixty segments brought to you by I'm gonna try
and get them as a sponsor Bluetoo. But anyways, the
six and sixty segments, here we go, guys, Minnesota and Anaheim.
I'm gonna take the Minnesota Wild money line. Duck's showing
a little bit of regression, and the Wild have won
eighteen of the last nineteen meetings between these two teams.
Give me the Wild money line. Chicago and Toronto, I'm
gonna take the Leafs money line in this. We're gonna
get a good price on them given the fact that
they're not playing the greatest hockey right now. Tune over
versus the Hawks last year in Baruba, called out the
team yesterday and the presser, so we'll see if they
bounce back. Here. Columbus and the Rangers, I'm taking the
over here. Rangers have found their scoring as I said
they would, four and one to the over last five
over their last three games. Montreal and Boston. I'm taking
the over here. Habs and Bear seven to nothing against
the Dallas Stars are now eight and one Montreal to
the over at home Dallas and Philly. Dallas money line
Stars off a big win four and won their last
five at home. Flyers on the second of a back
to back and finally, CALGreen Winnipeg Jets puck line. Let's
get some plus money there. Jets are generating some chances
and some scoring. Now that Profeti's back in the lineup,
I don't see the Flames scoring mini goals in this one.
So I'm taking Winnipeg Jets to end a road trip
with a pucked line victory. That is your six and sixties.
Speaker 1: Love it, Carl, love it. Love some of those looks
that went over just over five five five You want
to watch? You got the stop watch there it is, well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but but does does that? Does that one o
five include the original brought to you by Blue Choo
or the second one where it's.
Speaker 1: The second that you say, here we go your first
breakdown the timer starts, so just cash the over and
it's this this second your breakdown starts. No appeals, car
appeals you have all season.
Speaker 2: There also is the the time difference between Canada and uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's the five second time difference. Stop watching.
Speaker 2: There's and there's a leg. There's a bit of a
leg happening. But whatever, Andrew, that's the six and sixty
four and two disagree the bird is yeah, he disagrees
with me a lot, So I have band aids on
my fingers to show for this thing. Uh, people are
gonna think I'm a crack addict because I got all
these puncture points on my fingers. But they're from the bird.
I'm gonna get his wings clipped next week because he's
starting to fly. No, you have to. Yes, I got
a crow man, I am who's the guy from the crow?
Who's that actor? It was very good? But anyways, yes.
Speaker 1: Bites comment here, car Ethan says I had a professor
named Edward Edwardson. I don't know, is that real, Ethan?
Are you messing with us?
Speaker 2: Brandon Lee? There you go, Brandon Lee is the answer. Yes,
rest in peace, Andrew, let us know what you have
up at wager talk while I shut this little guy down.
Speaker 1: Look. Three straight winners for me and the NHL. Three
straight team total winners. The team totals are starting to
come around for us a bit here, guys. We're trusting
the process with them. Cash Day one, last night with
