1
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: NHL picks in the in the world of betting.

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 2: Here, guys, I'll tell you what.

3
00:00:08,679 --> 00:00:11,439
Speaker 1: Right now, we have got some of the best games

4
00:00:11,439 --> 00:00:14,519
you're gonna get in the NHL all season long. And

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,920
when you look at the board for today and handicapping

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,920
spots and situational spots, this is pretty much as good

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,079
as it gets. You guys know him on a great

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,960
run right now. I'm keeping the volume low, but I

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,640
was telling Brian and Carmine before the show started, it's

10
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,359
hard to keep the volume low with this slate.

11
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 2: Today.

12
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: I like the slate. I've got some picks for you

13
00:00:35,039 --> 00:00:38,920
guys on these games. We've got sides, totals, props, and

14
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000
all kinds of good stuff for you here on the show.

15
00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:45,520
It is Thursday, April second, No April fools today. Hopefully

16
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,119
we can make some money for you guys. And man

17
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,320
oh man, those Vancouver Canucks. I got to quote Brian

18
00:00:52,439 --> 00:00:55,560
for a second. The wise guys will take the dog

19
00:00:56,039 --> 00:00:59,880
and everyone's gonna lose money on the favorite. And you

20
00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:02,719
know how many people in the world had the Dodgers

21
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,560
and the Avalanche yesterday and they woke up feeling pretty

22
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:11,439
tough this morning. So a great, great great slate here today, guys,

23
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,840
as mentioned, if you are a sports better or an

24
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,159
NHL better. I won't speak for these two guys until

25
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:20,239
I talked to them, but I think it's a pretty

26
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,000
darn good slate. Carm good to see him, then, hope

27
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,959
you're feeling well rested from your lowered management. They're gonna

28
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,719
have to start calling you. Kawhi Leonard Man, Kawhi Bianco here.

29
00:01:31,519 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 3: I had, yeah, I had. I had to take the

30
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,560
day off. I had a thread came out of my shirt,

31
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:44,319
so I pulled the Lebron James and decided not to play. Yeah,

32
00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:46,480
I was in No, I wasn't actually in morning, but

33
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,239
the fact that Italy once again did not qualify for

34
00:01:49,239 --> 00:01:54,560
the World Cup andrew all my friends are. I'm gonna

35
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,799
enjoy the World Cup regardless. I'm going to games, and

36
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,840
there were games that didn't involve Italy. I only had

37
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,840
tickets for one possible Italy game. They didn't make it.

38
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:06,400
They'll try again in twenty thirty and we'll see what

39
00:02:06,439 --> 00:02:09,479
happens there. I joked around it maybe they need to

40
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:12,719
host the World Cup because the host gets in automatically.

41
00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:18,919
But with that said, yes, a moment of quiet for Italy.

42
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,919
It happens man eight to six the Vancouver Canucks yesterday

43
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:32,199
over over the Colorado Avalanche. I think you guys talked

44
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,840
about it. I think Brian said on yesterday's show. When

45
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,960
you expect the things to go a certain way, sometimes

46
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:40,319
they go.

47
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 4: To the other.

48
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,759
Speaker 3: It's kind of like the George costanzev everything you do

49
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,759
is wrong, the opposite must be right. Andrew, you and

50
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,599
I are going to talk Columbus and Carolina. This is

51
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,319
the second of two games between these two over the

52
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,960
last week, five to two on Tuesday, Carolina winning in Columbus.

53
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,719
We'll see if Columbus can return the favor. We're also

54
00:02:58,759 --> 00:03:01,800
going to talk to the Detroit Red Wings and the

55
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,919
Philadelphia Flyers, two teams on eighty six points, currently in

56
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,400
ninth and eleventh, separated by obviously regulation wins and games

57
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,080
games played, but they're both on seventy four. We'll discuss

58
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:17,560
that one. Brian Leonard is gonna talk Vegas and Calgary

59
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:23,479
can the Flames due to Vegas, what Vancouver did to

60
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,159
Colorado yesterday and shot the world, we'll find out from Brian.

61
00:03:27,759 --> 00:03:30,599
We're gonna close it off with another playoff matchup in

62
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,120
the Western Conference Nashville currently in tenth on seventy seven points,

63
00:03:35,199 --> 00:03:38,280
one point back of the eight plates La Kings, who

64
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:40,240
were fresh off of victory last night, second of a

65
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:43,039
back to back. We're gonna discuss that. We're gonna have

66
00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:45,120
a pod play way to you see the graphic on

67
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,120
this one. After the Ottawa Senators were diced up and

68
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,159
shot like a it was target practice. Man, they were

69
00:03:54,159 --> 00:03:58,919
Swiss cheese. So thanks Ottawa. I really appreciate that. But

70
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,120
that said, Andrew, uh, ten and oh for you, man,

71
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,120
where are you? Don't go into hiding. You're ten and oh.

72
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,159
Speaker 2: I'm back and I'm not trying to go away anywhere.

73
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 3: Oh, ten and O, man, that is absolutely and I

74
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,480
got to commend you because anyone who's on a great

75
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,920
run always says, looks at a game, there only three games,

76
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,480
but I do kind of like one of them. You

77
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,079
passed on a three game card and I passed as

78
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,480
well too. But ten and O you passed on a

79
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:36,000
three game card, and tonight's number eleven eleven and O.

80
00:04:36,319 --> 00:04:39,199
I can feel it, man, I can feel the eleven

81
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,199
and oh coming with that's.

82
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: Got to give you thanks, karm I gotta give you

83
00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:47,959
a thanks and I always respect it because sometimes you

84
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,920
don't want to talk to people during the game, or

85
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,399
sometimes you're worried about that one game you're on. But

86
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,399
I for me as long as it's all positive vibes.

87
00:04:58,879 --> 00:05:01,759
I love the text. I love when we can and

88
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,040
you're cheering me on and we're in a text together

89
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,399
and the other day with Carolina and we're going to

90
00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:09,240
talk about them. In one second, it was like, okay,

91
00:05:09,519 --> 00:05:11,519
is that goal going to be allowed? Is that goal

92
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,160
going to be allowed? And you texted me, You're like,

93
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,680
that's a good goal. That's a good goal. And then

94
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,879
we needed to get one more. And I'll tell you

95
00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:21,360
when I get these team total bets for the client's purposes,

96
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:23,920
I like it when it gets over four goals because

97
00:05:23,959 --> 00:05:26,399
it looks better on me than if they just barely

98
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,800
get there. So you know, looking at the four goals

99
00:05:30,879 --> 00:05:34,360
is good, but five goals or six goals even better. So, hey,

100
00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:36,279
I appreciate you cheering me on. It makes it a

101
00:05:36,399 --> 00:05:40,199
hell of a lot more fun. Let's ark that game here, man,

102
00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:40,920
we have the rematch.

103
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,519
Speaker 3: Let's get going on this one. So we're Carolina Andrew

104
00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:49,680
in this one minus one eighty five plus one fifty

105
00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:53,079
one on the Columbus Blue Jackets, and if I recall,

106
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,199
I could be wrong on this one, but when they

107
00:05:55,199 --> 00:05:58,079
played in Columbus, Carolina was still the favorite about a

108
00:05:58,079 --> 00:06:00,600
buck thirty five. I think they were in that game.

109
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:03,000
So you're paying fifty cents more for them with the

110
00:06:03,079 --> 00:06:06,600
venue switch at home a team that is battling right

111
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:12,120
now Andrew for the number one seed in the Eastern Conference.

112
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,480
They're on one hundred points, tied with the Buffalo Sabers,

113
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,399
but do have the advantage I believe on games played

114
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,839
and that one. And then right behind them the Tampa

115
00:06:22,879 --> 00:06:25,720
Bay Lightning, who are off the lost to your Montreal

116
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:31,000
Canadians and your hot goalies, so they're not taking any

117
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,120
nights off. You wouldn't think they're taking any nights off. Columbus. Unfortunately,

118
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,040
four straight losses for them, Andrew, they said eighth on

119
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,279
seventy five games and five two losers. They got the

120
00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:46,000
Red Wings right behind them with a game in hand,

121
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,000
Philadelphia with a game in hand, a loss here, and

122
00:06:50,399 --> 00:06:55,079
they are where they are. They're tied in the standings

123
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,600
by having played a game more and we're in the

124
00:06:57,639 --> 00:07:00,000
stretch run. How are you breaking this one down?

125
00:07:01,399 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: Carl Old Andrew used to always say, if you have

126
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,199
one game go over in a home and home, the

127
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,160
next game will go under. If the first game goes under,

128
00:07:11,399 --> 00:07:14,240
the next game will go over. But I gotta tell you,

129
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:17,199
when I look at these two teams and the total

130
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,439
is shaded to the under, as we can see with

131
00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:23,120
the graphic here, I see no reason why this game

132
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:26,920
can't go over once again. And if it doesn't go over,

133
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,560
it means that Columbus just didn't score. Because when you

134
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,839
look at the last five to ten games, the offensive metrics,

135
00:07:35,519 --> 00:07:39,000
Carolina are an advanced metrics dream.

136
00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: This team is.

137
00:07:41,319 --> 00:07:45,399
Speaker 1: Number one in Coursey four percentage expected goals, percentage, high

138
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,680
danger chances. They do everything that advanced analytical people would love.

139
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,480
And right now the Columbus Blue Jackets have seen their

140
00:07:54,519 --> 00:07:57,839
scoring production slow down just a little bit, but I

141
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,560
do think they're capable, and especially in this bounce back mode,

142
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,439
I don't really see the scoring slowing down. And if

143
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,120
you ask anybody, the biggest worry for the Carolina Hurricanes

144
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,160
going into the postseason, and it feels like it's been

145
00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:17,040
the same worry as every season, is their goaltending karm.

146
00:08:17,279 --> 00:08:20,399
You know, Brandon Bussy was unbelievable earlier.

147
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: In the year. Then that kind of went away.

148
00:08:22,839 --> 00:08:26,639
Speaker 1: Frederick Anderson, You and I both know what Frederick Anderson.

149
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,120
He is the Forrest Gump box of chocolates. You don't

150
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,440
know what you're gonna get with that guy every single night.

151
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,240
I have a tough time not seeing goals in this game,

152
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,720
but I think this could be a first period over game.

153
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,919
Columbus did not look like themselves, They did not create chances,

154
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,960
and quite frankly, I don't think they have it in

155
00:08:47,039 --> 00:08:49,960
them to beat the Hurricanes in a low scoring game.

156
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,480
So this is gonna be another game that's gonna be

157
00:08:53,919 --> 00:08:57,679
absolute fire until the last buzzer. From where I'm sitting,

158
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,440
I see action and I see goals in this one.

159
00:09:00,519 --> 00:09:04,879
Let's not forget my Montreal Canadians shut down the Hurricanes

160
00:09:04,919 --> 00:09:10,240
twice and especially last Sunday when the analytics favored Carolina

161
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,480
in a very big way. Montreal's goaltender did really, really well.

162
00:09:14,519 --> 00:09:17,080
You talked about it on the show when I talked

163
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,879
with you on Tuesday about how both goalies are playing

164
00:09:19,919 --> 00:09:22,559
well for the Habs. If a team is playing well

165
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,799
but they got goal lead a lot of times, they

166
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,759
bounce back the next couple of games and they put

167
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,480
some goals up on the board. What do you think, Carl,

168
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,960
I'm looking for another exciting game between these two teams.

169
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:37,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, Andrew, it hasn't been. It hasn't been a good

170
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:42,360
run for obviously for this Columbus team. They lose to

171
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,840
Montreal Canadians two to one, like they've all been close games.

172
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,799
They lose to Montreal two to one. They lose to the

173
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,759
San Jose Sharks at home three to two. They lose

174
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,600
in OT to the Bruins, in which they blew a

175
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,559
three nothing lead. The Bruins scored three and the third,

176
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,759
including one with like eleven seconds left, and then win

177
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,480
it in OT and then they lose that game five

178
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:04,120
to two. It should be Jack Greeves and goal, and

179
00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:07,919
you know that game against the Canes, the fifth goal

180
00:10:07,919 --> 00:10:11,360
is an empty netter. So he allowed four goals. And

181
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,080
that's the first time and I think seven or eight

182
00:10:13,159 --> 00:10:16,440
starts that he has allowed more than three goals. I

183
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,399
think it is one of those ones where Rick Bonus

184
00:10:21,159 --> 00:10:24,960
has to get this team to play better defensively and say,

185
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,039
and you look at it, those games are like two

186
00:10:27,039 --> 00:10:30,120
to one games three two games, so it is not

187
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:35,000
as if they're being outscored by bigger margins and they're

188
00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:40,000
losing games like five to four. This is why absinte

189
00:10:40,039 --> 00:10:42,720
of your opinion on the you know, putting inside your

190
00:10:42,759 --> 00:10:45,960
opinion on the first period, I think that the game

191
00:10:46,039 --> 00:10:47,919
goes under the total. I like the under six and

192
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,200
a half here. I think if for Columbus to win,

193
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,759
they can't play a game in which they play an

194
00:10:53,799 --> 00:10:57,720
open ice game against the Canes on home ice. For

195
00:10:57,759 --> 00:11:00,759
the Canes, the Canes are a very good team. They're

196
00:11:00,759 --> 00:11:02,919
gonna have to go in there. Jet's gonna have to

197
00:11:02,919 --> 00:11:06,960
tra and steal them a game. This almost comes down to,

198
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,000
and I hate to say it, it almost comes down

199
00:11:09,039 --> 00:11:11,080
to a must win, because Brian Lander will tell you

200
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,799
when he gets on a must win does not mean

201
00:11:13,919 --> 00:11:16,159
they will win. I think they're gonna put in a

202
00:11:16,159 --> 00:11:19,000
good effort tonight in this game, Andrew. I don't think

203
00:11:19,039 --> 00:11:21,080
they get blown out five to two like they did.

204
00:11:21,759 --> 00:11:24,279
This one does seem like one of those four to

205
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,080
two the empty netit goals and maybe they end up

206
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,279
on the wrong end of that result. So I'll have

207
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,159
to look at what the four to two is paying

208
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,759
either way. Four to Columbus or four to Carolina. I'm

209
00:11:35,759 --> 00:11:37,840
gonna guess it's probably about twenty five to one odds.

210
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,360
And even though most of Italians are morning I can

211
00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:42,919
still throw a slice of pizza on it.

212
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 2: What do you think always good for a laugh? Carme, Look,

213
00:11:48,759 --> 00:11:50,240
it's it's interesting.

214
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: I just think that obviously I had the team total

215
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,840
for Carolina the last game, and I was hoping for

216
00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,679
some goals near the end, and we got there. Rick

217
00:12:00,759 --> 00:12:04,440
Bonus wants Columbus to play defensively. It's just when I

218
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,440
look at Montreal Montreal, when I look at Carolina's offense

219
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,320
and how they're playing right now, you take away those

220
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,519
games against Montreal running into goalies that we're playing well.

221
00:12:13,879 --> 00:12:16,679
I think this team is actually playing good hockey. And

222
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,240
we're going to talk to Brian Leonard in a few

223
00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:20,480
minutes and Brian will talk about that as well. And

224
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,879
you know it's not just about like, oh, well, a

225
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,879
team's playing well but they didn't get the results.

226
00:12:24,919 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 2: But it's kind of why.

227
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: I've cared more about goalies lately than I ever have,

228
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,960
because sometimes you can say this goalie played well, but

229
00:12:32,039 --> 00:12:35,120
doesn't mean the team around them. But we've done it

230
00:12:35,159 --> 00:12:37,759
before on Puck Time. We have done it before where

231
00:12:37,799 --> 00:12:40,039
we have a first period over and a full game

232
00:12:40,159 --> 00:12:43,120
under opinion on the show, and you can still make

233
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:43,759
money with that.

234
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 2: So I'm up for it, Karma, if you're up for it.

235
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean. I put out a

236
00:12:50,519 --> 00:12:54,960
pod play on the first period over and the Islanders

237
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,960
and Penn's game, and they scored no goals, they hit

238
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,799
the goal post a couple of times across bar, and

239
00:12:58,799 --> 00:13:01,440
then they scored like one hundred goals in the second

240
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:07,039
period on Tuesday nights. So those things are gonna or

241
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,120
a Monday whenever it was, those things are going to happen.

242
00:13:10,159 --> 00:13:12,440
But we've seen it plenty of times. Goals scored in

243
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,960
the first period and then the game sort of settles

244
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,559
in and teams play a little different sort of lock

245
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,000
it down. This game has different meanings of both teams.

246
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,840
The Canes are in the playoffs, they know it, but

247
00:13:24,879 --> 00:13:27,480
they also want that home ice right through to the

248
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,840
conference finals. So with the Sabers sort of hot on

249
00:13:30,879 --> 00:13:33,279
their heels, but a tough one for them tonight in

250
00:13:33,399 --> 00:13:39,759
Ottawa and Tampa Bay with at home off a loss

251
00:13:39,799 --> 00:13:42,759
against Pittsburgh, you got to figure one of those two

252
00:13:42,799 --> 00:13:45,039
teams has a good chance of winning and getting to

253
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,120
like one hundred points or maybe one hundred and two points.

254
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,039
So the Canes aren't taking any nights off. It's just

255
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,639
a matter of as you said, Andrew, sometimes the goaltenders

256
00:13:55,799 --> 00:14:00,000
shock you, like they did yesterday with the Wedgewood and

257
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:00,759
Blackwood or whatever.

258
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,799
Speaker 2: It is just yeah, and I'll be either one. I

259
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,799
gave it during that game on the show, so you're

260
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:08,320
not going to win.

261
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 3: The ball three seventy three was the XG created by

262
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,840
Vancouver in scoring seven goals on three point seventy three

263
00:14:16,879 --> 00:14:18,480
of x G and then the eighth was into the

264
00:14:18,519 --> 00:14:23,039
empty net for the hat trick. So with that said,

265
00:14:25,159 --> 00:14:27,759
will we see a hat trick tonight in this game? Andrew?

266
00:14:28,679 --> 00:14:32,240
It is as even as you can get price wise

267
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,399
without it being minus one ten both ways the Philadelphia

268
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,039
Flyers minus one fifteen at home, minus one oh five

269
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,000
for the Red Wings, and the total sits here at

270
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,080
five and a half shaded to the over twenty four cents. Andrew.

271
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,799
I keep saying it all the time, this feels like

272
00:14:48,919 --> 00:14:51,720
a big game for the Red Wings. They really need

273
00:14:51,759 --> 00:14:54,000
to win it. And then you come in and tell

274
00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:56,879
me why they're not going to win, so do it.

275
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: Well.

276
00:14:58,639 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: It's so funny because the other yesterday on the show

277
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,480
with Brian, I said to him that I pretty much

278
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,159
bashed on Detroit all season long, and then towards the

279
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,200
end of the season, I finally just gave them some credit.

280
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,639
I said, you know what, maybe this team can do it.

281
00:15:15,759 --> 00:15:17,639
And you'll remember, KRM. I did try and give them

282
00:15:17,679 --> 00:15:20,799
credit because one of the main reasons was that I

283
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:23,759
didn't think that Ottawa was going to be able to

284
00:15:23,759 --> 00:15:26,120
continue doing what they're doing. So I was like, Okay,

285
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,440
if the Red Wings can play okay hockey, they'll make

286
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,159
the playoffs. Well, carm this is what I brought up

287
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,200
yesterday to Brian, and I know you'll find this interesting.

288
00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:38,679
This is the record for Detroit in the month of

289
00:15:38,759 --> 00:15:42,600
March for the last handful of years, twenty twenty three,

290
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,200
twenty twenty four, twenty twenty five, and twenty twenty six.

291
00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:52,279
It's like, you can't win your season, you can't make

292
00:15:52,279 --> 00:15:57,519
the playoffs in you know, in March, but you certainly

293
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,440
can miss the playoffs in March. And I think that's

294
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,159
what we're seeing here with this Red Wings team. Look

295
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,759
at this record, this team is allergic to winning. When

296
00:16:05,759 --> 00:16:09,080
the weather starts to get a little bit nicer outside here,

297
00:16:09,799 --> 00:16:13,440
this is Philadelphia or pass for me, and I do

298
00:16:13,559 --> 00:16:16,519
have a small lean towards the over because the only

299
00:16:16,559 --> 00:16:20,159
thing is, if Dan Vladar is going for Philadelphia, he's

300
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,879
not been very good. I'll tell you something. It's it's

301
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,919
kind of been an absolute flip of a switch for

302
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,279
Philadelphia right now. Usually they get good goaltending and they've

303
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:35,559
got bad offense. Right now they're having good offense and

304
00:16:35,679 --> 00:16:40,039
not so great goaltending. Looking at my analytics here, Philadelphia

305
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,919
has been one of the better teams as far as

306
00:16:41,919 --> 00:16:46,120
their offensive numbers are concerned. But looking at the goals

307
00:16:46,159 --> 00:16:50,440
against per game, dan Vladar three points sixty seven minus

308
00:16:50,519 --> 00:16:54,600
one point six to one goals saved above expected per game.

309
00:16:54,799 --> 00:16:58,480
Second worst goaltender out of the entire slate here for

310
00:16:58,559 --> 00:17:03,279
today right now, Philadelphia goals expected goals against is pretty good,

311
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,039
but their goaltender has not been great. But goals four

312
00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:09,519
three point five to two per game, you're gonna get

313
00:17:09,519 --> 00:17:10,759
a desperate Detroit team.

314
00:17:11,039 --> 00:17:11,599
Speaker 2: I get it.

315
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: But Philadelphia is playing the better hockey. It's Philadelphia a

316
00:17:15,279 --> 00:17:16,559
path for me at this point.

317
00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, listen, I get it, Andrew, and Philadelphia sort

318
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,599
of has to leapfrog some teams, but you do that

319
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:27,519
by winning games. They both have eight games left. The

320
00:17:27,799 --> 00:17:30,640
problem is the Flyers have twenty three regulation wins, so

321
00:17:32,039 --> 00:17:34,400
they're going to have to finish at least a point

322
00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:38,400
ahead of Detroit. If Detroit has that eight moves into

323
00:17:38,599 --> 00:17:42,920
eighth spot. They're gonna have to because Detroit has twenty

324
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,920
eight regulation wins. Detroit's got eight games left, Andrew, So

325
00:17:46,599 --> 00:17:49,160
let's just have a look at these eight games. I'm

326
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,599
gonna name the eight games for you. Four home, four weight,

327
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,640
So they're gonna play the Flyers twice. So they play

328
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,400
the Flyers tonight, and then they play the Flyers next

329
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,480
week on Thursday, I believe of next week at home

330
00:18:03,519 --> 00:18:08,400
at Little Caesars. So they play the Flyers tonight, then

331
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,880
they're in New York to play the Rangers. They're back

332
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,559
home to play Minnesota and Columbus and Philadelphia and New

333
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,440
Jersey four games at home. That closes their home schedule

334
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,599
for this season, and then they head down to the

335
00:18:21,599 --> 00:18:25,240
Sunshine State where they're going to play the Tampa Bay Lightning.

336
00:18:25,319 --> 00:18:28,200
Who that game is going to be meaningful in some way.

337
00:18:28,319 --> 00:18:31,440
That game is meaningful for Tampa Bay in the grand

338
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,319
scheme of things, whether it's the number one seed for

339
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,400
the Atlantic or number one seed overall in the Eastern Conference.

340
00:18:36,799 --> 00:18:40,079
And then they get the Florida Panthers in the final game,

341
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,240
and Florida might be vacationing at that point in the

342
00:18:44,279 --> 00:18:49,799
season for eight games Andrew six and two gets him

343
00:18:49,839 --> 00:18:54,079
into the playoffs. Five and three puts them on the

344
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,720
cusp of making the playoffs. Four and four. I'm not

345
00:18:57,839 --> 00:19:01,200
sure what do you think.

346
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,759
Speaker 1: With how good everybody else is playing around them? That's

347
00:19:05,799 --> 00:19:09,720
the biggest question. Karm is like, who's going to fall off?

348
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,799
Every team is winning right now besides Detroit if you

349
00:19:13,839 --> 00:19:15,359
think about it, I get it.

350
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,599
Speaker 3: In the eighth place, eighth place in the seventh and

351
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,440
eighth place in the Eastern Conference have basically been like airbnbs.

352
00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:27,960
There's been someone occupying the space on different days of

353
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,519
the week. It is just with the way the schedule

354
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,720
is the you know, I was looking at the last

355
00:19:35,839 --> 00:19:40,079
you know week of the NHL season or last two weeks,

356
00:19:40,079 --> 00:19:42,000
and it ends on the sixteenth as the final day.

357
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:47,720
Next Friday, there are no games on the Friday but

358
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,440
every single day after that there are at least six games.

359
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,640
Most nights have ten games, and six big games on

360
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,279
the final day of the NHL season, which could determine

361
00:19:58,279 --> 00:20:02,799
three or four playoff spots. It's this is I keep

362
00:20:02,839 --> 00:20:05,160
saying it. I sound like a broken record. It is

363
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,000
an NHL season like no other. We don't know who's in,

364
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,599
we don't know who's out. Every day we want to

365
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,799
have a miss, make or miss segment, and we can't

366
00:20:15,799 --> 00:20:17,519
take all these scenes to make it and all these

367
00:20:17,559 --> 00:20:22,559
things to miss it. But yeah, that said, everything tells

368
00:20:22,599 --> 00:20:27,240
me to bet the Philadelphia Flyers tonight. I'm gonna pull

369
00:20:27,279 --> 00:20:31,400
at George Costanza. If everything you do is wrong, then

370
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,039
the opposite must be right. And I am going to

371
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,400
take the Detroit Red Wings tonight. And that's not because

372
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,599
I'm trying to get on anyone's good side in Wings

373
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:47,160
Nation or in Detroit at our home office and stuff.

374
00:20:47,279 --> 00:20:50,839
But it is just one of those ones where it

375
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,599
looks like a great spot for Philadelphia because Detroit's defense

376
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,920
has not been good of late, and yet the line

377
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,640
is only minus one fifteen. It's just too fit for me.

378
00:21:02,599 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 2: I get it.

379
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,759
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what though, I bet you, the average

380
00:21:06,759 --> 00:21:11,640
fan doesn't realize how good Philadelphia is playing, so it

381
00:21:11,759 --> 00:21:14,640
could be a fishy line in favor of Philadelphia. But

382
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,160
they probably are also expecting money to come in on

383
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,119
Detroit because people don't really think Philadelphia is that good,

384
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,160
even though they're playing very well right now.

385
00:21:23,599 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: Look, Carl, I think no matter who wins this game.

386
00:21:27,799 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: I think the over five and a half is the

387
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,960
play and I just don't see Detroit playing a low

388
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,880
scoring game right now. Philadelphia is playing their best offensive

389
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,799
hockey of the season. I never would have thought that

390
00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:41,279
I'd say this, but again, the trouble for them has

391
00:21:41,319 --> 00:21:45,359
been their defense and goaltending, but their strength has been

392
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,359
their offense. Philadelphia used to be the team I would

393
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,400
watch if I wanted to go to sleep. Not anymore.

394
00:21:51,839 --> 00:21:54,400
This team Brian talked about yesterday will get his thoughts.

395
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,000
I mean, this team actually has some pop to them.

396
00:21:57,039 --> 00:22:00,319
A little bit here, But these games are awesome regards

397
00:22:00,079 --> 00:22:03,240
list because even if it's not the teams in the

398
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,839
same division, when it's teams going head to head and

399
00:22:07,079 --> 00:22:10,799
both of them have something to fight for, it's super exciting.

400
00:22:12,519 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, listen, Andrew, I loved watching the Flyers. I

401
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,839
would use my press pass to get in when Sabers

402
00:22:21,839 --> 00:22:24,000
and Flyers played in the playoffs, and I went to

403
00:22:24,039 --> 00:22:26,720
the morning skate and I'm just sitting there eating a

404
00:22:26,759 --> 00:22:30,759
bag of potato chips and watching these teams to skate around,

405
00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:33,000
getting ready for that playoff game that night. And then

406
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,000
I just went on go to the bar with a

407
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:40,440
couple other guys, and then would come back and enjoy

408
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,400
the free food in the media room that they would

409
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,759
give you while watching my favorite Sabers play the broad

410
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,799
Street Bullies, and they had guys like Kenny Linsman, the

411
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,440
rat who got under your skin. I love these guys.

412
00:22:54,559 --> 00:22:57,079
I grew up in a different age of NHL hockey,

413
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,359
and I still love I love that stuff. But with

414
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,440
that said, this guy grew up in the same Let's

415
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,279
bring him in. Let's ad him. He grew up in

416
00:23:06,319 --> 00:23:09,640
the same era of NHL hockey. He remembers the Broad

417
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:17,079
Street Bullies, he remembers the French connection in Buffalo. Jilbert Perrout,

418
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:24,200
I don't remember anything. I'm an old man, all right.

419
00:23:24,319 --> 00:23:28,880
Grandpa Simpson has entered the chat. There you go, my.

420
00:23:28,839 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 5: Hat, get my hat on it. I remember back on

421
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:37,559
the way back for a Nickel. Okay, Brian, how are things?

422
00:23:37,559 --> 00:23:40,240
First of all, before we get to your game, everything's

423
00:23:40,279 --> 00:23:40,920
going well.

424
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,799
Speaker 4: It's not so well out here in the Vegas Valley

425
00:23:43,839 --> 00:23:47,200
as everybody I talked to is freaking out about this

426
00:23:47,559 --> 00:23:50,880
hockey team. They're not going to make the playoffs.

427
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 3: It's over.

428
00:23:51,759 --> 00:23:54,519
Speaker 4: What the hell's going They still have like an eighty

429
00:23:54,519 --> 00:23:57,319
seven percent chance to make the playoffs. They've five of

430
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,839
their last seven games were against teams that are not

431
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,920
the playoff contention. Yes, Vegas will make the playoff. Do

432
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,039
they deserve it? Who knows at this point. But they're

433
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,920
lucky enough to be in a conference that only has

434
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:10,880
three good teams.

435
00:24:11,319 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: Did you see la Brian? I saw a tweet today

436
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,319
somebody was talking about them. How many points they have

437
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,720
right now? They've got like twenty less points than some

438
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,440
teams in the Eastern Conference and they might make the

439
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,759
playoffs like they they I mean, I know I keep

440
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:29,720
talking about it, and you've talked about it. How you

441
00:24:29,759 --> 00:24:32,440
know this year besides the top heavy teams, the East

442
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,039
is just better than the West. But it's hilarious to

443
00:24:35,039 --> 00:24:37,240
see some of these teams that might squeak on in.

444
00:24:37,839 --> 00:24:38,039
Speaker 2: Yeah.

445
00:24:38,079 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 4: I don't want to talk about LA they cost me

446
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,559
a sweep in the NHL Yesterday's I'll lose that game

447
00:24:42,599 --> 00:24:47,480
in overtime with the underdog. But yeah, it's uh, we'll

448
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,839
see what the playoffs, what brings the playoffs. I think

449
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,119
we may be able to find some value in that regard.

450
00:24:52,799 --> 00:24:55,200
But the problem is in the playoffs, the Western team

451
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,759
plays the Western teams, the Eastern teams plays the Eastern team.

452
00:24:57,839 --> 00:25:00,079
So I want the Western teams when they play the

453
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,119
Eastern teams and you get good value. But unfortunately we're

454
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,400
going to get that pro while.

455
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,799
Speaker 3: Bry, I love the fact that you chose this game

456
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,799
because you know, I talked about the Vegas Golden Knights

457
00:25:11,799 --> 00:25:13,759
and the fact that they had to play Vancouver twice.

458
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,359
They had to play the Edmonton Oders in Calgary in

459
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:22,759
between the two Vancouver games. Vancouver looked pretty good in

460
00:25:22,839 --> 00:25:27,680
the first game, or Vegas looked the same as they

461
00:25:27,799 --> 00:25:31,279
had before with the with Tortorella, who still doesn't know

462
00:25:31,279 --> 00:25:33,680
all the players' names. I love this press conference after

463
00:25:33,759 --> 00:25:35,599
the game. It was yeah, I relied on my staff.

464
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,200
I don't know the nicknames for these guys. We'll get

465
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,200
it going at some point. Imagine being on the bench Andrew,

466
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:46,839
and it's like, Okay, Marner, Hey there's Maurner. Okay, get

467
00:25:46,839 --> 00:25:52,319
in there, Mitchie. But with that said, I hate to

468
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,839
use the word must win, but you know, Veiggas Golden

469
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,200
Knights are seventh on eighty two points, having played seventy

470
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:02,559
five games, so only seven left for them. Calgary, the

471
00:26:02,799 --> 00:26:07,599
long state's been done, seventy points, seventy four games, fourteenth,

472
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,839
third worst team in the Western Conference. How are you

473
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:11,839
playing this game?

474
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,079
Speaker 4: I am looking at it a little bit differently Vegas

475
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,240
in that game the other day, I guess Vancouver they

476
00:26:20,279 --> 00:26:23,880
win by two, but they had to score an open

477
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,400
that goal. At the end, Vegas is not a good

478
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,759
five on five team. For five on five I think

479
00:26:29,759 --> 00:26:32,480
Calgary is just as good as Vegas is. The deal

480
00:26:32,559 --> 00:26:36,400
that Vegas has in this game is much better power play,

481
00:26:36,599 --> 00:26:42,039
much better defending on the power play. If Calgary could

482
00:26:42,079 --> 00:26:46,279
go through this game without putting Vegas in an advantage,

483
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,640
Calgary cou win this game. Even though they've only won

484
00:26:50,759 --> 00:26:56,599
ten ten regulation, ten wins on the road all season long.

485
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,200
This Calgary Flames, I'm not giving up on them. If

486
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,319
you take a look at the situation right here, last

487
00:27:02,319 --> 00:27:05,680
time they were out. They went to Colorado, got crushed

488
00:27:06,799 --> 00:27:10,519
nine to two. They gave up nine runs on the road.

489
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,920
I would expect the defense to play a lot better here.

490
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,559
We've also have we just had a recent trade between

491
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,960
key defensive players Rasmus Anderson coming over to Vegas and

492
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,279
white Cloud going over to Calgary. White Cloud's returning home

493
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,720
and with a lot of clubs they have that, you know,

494
00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:33,839
the big tribute before the game starts, and white Cloud,

495
00:27:33,839 --> 00:27:37,640
as I've mentioned before, huge fans favorite, all the players

496
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,720
on the team loved him. I expect because of that,

497
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,119
the Calgary's defense is coming to play a little bit tonight.

498
00:27:46,599 --> 00:27:49,720
And you take a look at the schedule. They played

499
00:27:49,799 --> 00:27:51,799
Vegas here, then they gotta go on the road and

500
00:27:51,799 --> 00:27:54,480
play Anaheim, go on the road and play Dallas, go

501
00:27:54,519 --> 00:27:58,240
on the road to play the Colorado Rivalanche. All three

502
00:27:58,279 --> 00:27:59,920
of those teams are better in Vegas is right now,

503
00:28:01,039 --> 00:28:03,160
and so I'm looking to find a way to play

504
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:08,000
the Calgary front claims looking at Vegas their situation. They

505
00:28:08,039 --> 00:28:11,680
are just coming off that win over Vancouver. Up next

506
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,519
is the Edmonton Oilers. That's the big rivalry for Vegas

507
00:28:15,559 --> 00:28:20,880
in this division. Ed Mitchonanol over them, skid ray past

508
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,079
them the last time they played. They've got a definite

509
00:28:24,279 --> 00:28:28,519
disadvantage when they played the Edmonton Oilers because they're a

510
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,640
much faster team. Vegas is an old team. Vegas does

511
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,720
not have the ability to go out there and outskate

512
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,920
the opposition when you I believe they're the second oldest

513
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,720
team in the NHL and the In regards to the

514
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,279
coaching change, I think it was probably the right thing

515
00:28:46,279 --> 00:28:49,240
to do. They weren't going anywhere. The players are come

516
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,279
out and said they were stuck, and you know, they

517
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,960
just didn't have the the the ability to just get

518
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,839
turned it back on again. Hopefully they do with the

519
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,599
new coach, but it didn't show in the first game back.

520
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: No.

521
00:29:01,799 --> 00:29:04,079
Speaker 4: Granted, he's had a couple of days off to be

522
00:29:04,119 --> 00:29:06,799
able to do that, but he gave him yesterday off,

523
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,279
so they've only really had one practice and the only

524
00:29:10,279 --> 00:29:14,000
thing he has done is switched up the lines that

525
00:29:14,079 --> 00:29:17,880
they're that they're playing in. So I'm not really confident.

526
00:29:17,519 --> 00:29:18,559
Speaker 3: With Vegas right now.

527
00:29:18,599 --> 00:29:20,519
Speaker 4: And there's no way in hell I'm laying this number

528
00:29:20,559 --> 00:29:24,880
with Vegas, especially a team who consistently is outscored in

529
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,200
the first period. If you want to play Vegas on

530
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,839
the game on the game line, wait till they fall

531
00:29:30,839 --> 00:29:33,000
behind in the first period. Then you don't have the

532
00:29:33,039 --> 00:29:38,160
way this released. This is such a big favorite. I

533
00:29:39,119 --> 00:29:41,000
just don't have a lot of confidence in Vegas right now,

534
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,400
and a lot of people talking about them not making

535
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,720
their playoffs. Think I still got an eighty seven percent

536
00:29:45,799 --> 00:29:49,440
chance to make the playoffs. They could possibly lose every

537
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,200
game from here on out and still make the playoffs.

538
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,359
They are not going to have home advantage. They are

539
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,680
not going to be one of the better teams. They're

540
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,480
a veteran team that figures if they can make the playoffs.

541
00:30:01,599 --> 00:30:04,759
It's a brand new ball game. Maybe it is, but

542
00:30:05,039 --> 00:30:07,400
I just don't expect Vegas to just get on a

543
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,480
really hot streak here in the season. All the things

544
00:30:11,519 --> 00:30:13,799
that Dave Cocain has said in the past about when

545
00:30:13,799 --> 00:30:16,880
there's a coaching change, you want to ride that team.

546
00:30:18,079 --> 00:30:21,039
I love the thought process, but I'm closer to this

547
00:30:21,119 --> 00:30:24,160
team than any other team that I follow. I just

548
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,599
don't see it here with Vegas. I think they basically

549
00:30:27,359 --> 00:30:29,599
just play off the system the rest of the season.

550
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,200
The wins aren't as important as what the public would

551
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,960
think that they would be I'm looking to play Calgary.

552
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,359
I don't want Calgary, a team that's only won ten

553
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,559
games on the road all season. I want Calgary plus

554
00:30:41,599 --> 00:30:43,440
the one and a half you're laying, like one twenty.

555
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,920
The total in this game is six because of the

556
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,720
defenses in this game, after giving up nine in the

557
00:30:49,799 --> 00:30:53,160
last game, coming in with the two two big defensive

558
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,039
players in this game, with the way I believe the

559
00:30:56,039 --> 00:30:58,039
game is going to be played, I think it's going

560
00:30:58,079 --> 00:30:59,680
to be a low scoring game. I either played the

561
00:30:59,759 --> 00:31:02,160
under or I take Calgary plus the one and a

562
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,559
half in minus one twenty. Neither one will make my

563
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,799
card today, As was much in many times, this is

564
00:31:08,799 --> 00:31:10,359
a great card out there right now. I've got four

565
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,400
players right now. I just didn't find out how to

566
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,279
grade them. But if I'm involved in this game, it's

567
00:31:16,319 --> 00:31:19,319
either going to be the under or Calgary plus one

568
00:31:19,359 --> 00:31:21,160
and a half at the short number of one twenty.

569
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,559
Speaker 3: I like it. Brian. It's a great breakdown, you know,

570
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,160
and you talked about Vegas schedule. I think if they

571
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,079
lose out their last seven games, I say they won't

572
00:31:32,079 --> 00:31:34,920
make the playoffs. But then the teams behind them are

573
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,720
either failing to pick up points or beating themselves up.

574
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,440
So we have, you know, I mean like we have

575
00:31:41,519 --> 00:31:45,480
the issue of you look at here's the games for Vegas, Brian,

576
00:31:45,599 --> 00:31:51,119
and you tell me that the game tonight against the

577
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:55,599
Calgary Flames. Then they are in Edmonton, they are in Vancouver,

578
00:31:56,119 --> 00:31:59,440
and then this stretch in which they play the Seattle

579
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:04,000
Kraken in Seattle, in Colorado, the Winnipeg Jets, who are

580
00:32:04,039 --> 00:32:08,920
still vying for a playoff spot, and then they finished

581
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,039
with the Seattle Cracking so they played the Cracking twice.

582
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,240
Kracking have lost six or seven. They're not doing themselves

583
00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:16,519
any favors, but the Seattle Crackingers still right there. As

584
00:32:16,559 --> 00:32:20,200
far as standings go. The Krackinger are sitting on seventy

585
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,119
five points, seven back of Vegas. So those they would

586
00:32:23,119 --> 00:32:27,119
have to sweep Vegas in those games, seven games. If

587
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,359
they go to and five, they make the playoffs. Is

588
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:30,119
that what you're thinking?

589
00:32:30,319 --> 00:32:33,799
Speaker 4: I think they. I think if they lose at Seattle,

590
00:32:33,839 --> 00:32:37,480
if they'll win that last game at home, then in

591
00:32:38,039 --> 00:32:42,240
the Vancouver game, again is much closer than what the

592
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:46,119
final score was going to Vancouver. Obviously, the problem you

593
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,480
were going to run into is if Seattle's out by

594
00:32:49,519 --> 00:32:52,599
then the game won't mean as much for Seattle, but

595
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,799
to be honest with you, that's going to have an

596
00:32:54,799 --> 00:32:57,920
effect on the line. I would much rather play a

597
00:32:58,039 --> 00:33:01,359
Seattle of Vancouver, a winnipe or whatever when they're out

598
00:33:01,359 --> 00:33:04,480
of the playoffs as opposed to being in the playoff race,

599
00:33:04,519 --> 00:33:07,680
because these are teams that are not not very good,

600
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,519
and I don't want a bad team and a must

601
00:33:10,559 --> 00:33:14,599
win situation. Uh So we saw that yesterday with Vancouver

602
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,920
going into Colorado, and I spoke about that on the

603
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:23,759
show yesterday. Colorado's basically locked up what they're what they've

604
00:33:23,759 --> 00:33:26,079
got going in. They got an eight point they had

605
00:33:26,079 --> 00:33:29,279
any point lead over Dallas. There really was no reason

606
00:33:29,319 --> 00:33:32,480
for them to come out and play anything but upon

607
00:33:32,559 --> 00:33:36,480
hockey game in Vancouver took advantage of that. And you know,

608
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,000
if you played Vancouver over minus the one and a half,

609
00:33:41,039 --> 00:33:43,119
I believe they played seven to one in that game.

610
00:33:43,599 --> 00:33:45,880
So these things happen at the end of a hockey season.

611
00:33:46,359 --> 00:33:48,960
Teams are just they've got the plans made for either

612
00:33:49,039 --> 00:33:51,680
the offseason or they just they don't want to get hurt,

613
00:33:52,079 --> 00:33:54,400
and they got the playoff situation, so you got to

614
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,119
keep You've got to keep an eye on things like

615
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,079
that in the last couple of weeks of the season,

616
00:33:59,119 --> 00:34:01,240
which you probably didn't have to worry about earlier in

617
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:01,559
the year.

618
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,079
Speaker 1: Well, and Ralph has given us the charts before. And

619
00:34:05,119 --> 00:34:08,039
I always think back to the Maple Leafs against the

620
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:12,119
Arizona Coyotes. If you played the Coyotes and the money

621
00:34:12,119 --> 00:34:15,199
line when they were plus three hundred or plus you know,

622
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,320
two hundred whatever, it was just faving the big favorites

623
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,320
in the NHL because of the variants, as you mentioned, Brian,

624
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,639
because you don't have to win every bet. You have

625
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,400
to win a low percentage of these bets to actually

626
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,239
make money in the long term. The only thing is

627
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,239
you have to commit to playing those quite a bit.

628
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,239
But to your point, it seemed like that game meant

629
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,360
a hell of a lot more to Vancouver than it

630
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,840
really did to Colorado. They're practicing bad habits, is what

631
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,119
they're doing right now, just now, looking great, Brian, I

632
00:34:42,159 --> 00:34:44,400
want to give you a chance to promote anything you want,

633
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,960
but this great, special, great looking graphic here one ninety

634
00:34:48,039 --> 00:34:51,800
nine full Stanley Cup playoffs, which I'll remind you guys,

635
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,360
it's not short. It's pretty long. Playoffs could be some

636
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,480
deep series as well, plus the remainder of the regular season.

637
00:34:59,519 --> 00:35:02,480
So the FA you guys grab this the quicker, you're

638
00:35:02,519 --> 00:35:04,679
going to get more and more plays from Brian. And

639
00:35:04,679 --> 00:35:06,920
it sounds like, Brian, you got a pretty good card

640
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,239
going tonight. Tell us what you have on tap.

641
00:35:09,639 --> 00:35:11,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks like I'm going to have four plays.

642
00:35:11,679 --> 00:35:13,760
I haven't put them up yet. I did the Baseball

643
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,199
Show earlier, so I've been pretty busy. But I like

644
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,440
this card a lot better than just about any card

645
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,920
we've seen in a while. And when you talk about

646
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,719
the playoffs, and I mentioned this yesterday, even in the

647
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,920
NBA playoffs, to me, if you're paying attention to what's

648
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,239
going on, the best time to play the NBA or

649
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:35,280
hockey is in the playoffs because these these sports you

650
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,719
find out in once you get to the playoffs, the NBA guys,

651
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,599
everybody's playing, you know who's going to play. You're looking

652
00:35:41,599 --> 00:35:44,760
at hockey and you're at that point where hockey is

653
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,800
a game very much like baseball. And you mentioned the

654
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,360
Dodgers game yesterday. Who would have wanted to go against

655
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:53,320
the Dodgers yesterday? You find that a lot And so

656
00:35:53,679 --> 00:35:55,920
in the hockey playoffs. If you watch the games, like

657
00:35:56,039 --> 00:35:58,519
we both we all know, we all like to watch hockey,

658
00:35:59,199 --> 00:36:02,480
the hockey playoffs, you can find things you go, well,

659
00:36:02,639 --> 00:36:04,360
you look at the expected goals, you look at the

660
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,400
expected chances and all that other stuff. That team didn't win,

661
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,400
but they were the better team on the ice. And

662
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,920
as opposed to the regular season where that happens and

663
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,000
you've got to wait maybe a month to these teams

664
00:36:15,039 --> 00:36:18,800
play each other again, they're playing against the very next game.

665
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,239
So that is something I love to play in hockey.

666
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,599
The team that should have won the game, that did

667
00:36:24,599 --> 00:36:26,679
not win the game, and they're playing them again the

668
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,239
very next day. The team that wins is thinking, hey,

669
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,199
we've got the victory. We don't have to change anything.

670
00:36:32,519 --> 00:36:34,280
And that's the kind of team we want to go against.

671
00:36:36,559 --> 00:36:41,559
Speaker 3: Love it, Brian absolutely great. So guys, take advantage of

672
00:36:41,559 --> 00:36:43,519
that promo. For Brian, I'm not going to use the

673
00:36:43,559 --> 00:36:46,000
words that I don't normally say. He will rate his

674
00:36:46,119 --> 00:36:49,639
plays right after this show, and then you can find

675
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,960
him on his page. And if you just want to

676
00:36:52,519 --> 00:36:55,039
jump on that deal, you can grab that deal and

677
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,719
you get all of Today's and everything right through to

678
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,519
the Stanley Cup Final Game seven, where the Sabers beat

679
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:07,440
the Colorado Avalanche. So with that said, but that sounds

680
00:37:07,519 --> 00:37:11,119
it's it's it's it could happen. Sabers can make it

681
00:37:11,159 --> 00:37:12,159
to the Stanley Cup.

682
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,079
Speaker 4: And do you really think they will? They've got no

683
00:37:16,119 --> 00:37:18,840
playoff experience and that's you know, in the NBA, in

684
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,639
the NHL, having no playoff experience definitely hurts.

685
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 3: But they bribe just before, just before I let you go, Andrews.

686
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:31,039
Andrew's very quiet as a Montreal fan. You know what

687
00:37:31,079 --> 00:37:35,199
he's been doing. Like all the Montreal fans, they're like

688
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,199
the guy who hides in the bushes and waits for

689
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,039
the opportunity to pounds. And that's what he's doing right now.

690
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:45,039
He's ten and zero. The Montreal Canadians are playing phenomenal

691
00:37:45,039 --> 00:37:49,519
hockey with two very good goalies, rookie goalies, and they're

692
00:37:49,519 --> 00:37:52,360
looking at the number two seed in the Atlantic, and

693
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,960
they're looking at the number one seed uh in the

694
00:37:56,119 --> 00:38:00,599
in the Atlantic and thinking, hey, we're gonna leave frog

695
00:38:00,679 --> 00:38:02,840
over these two teams and take over that number one

696
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:08,360
seed and have whole ice up until the conference finals.

697
00:38:08,599 --> 00:38:10,519
So look at him, Look how quiet he is.

698
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:14,079
Speaker 1: I never would have got it, but the first place

699
00:38:14,119 --> 00:38:17,280
position is still up for grabs. Detroit had it for

700
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,760
a while, they might miss the playoffs then, but Tampa

701
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,360
Bay had it for a while, then Buffalo had it

702
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,920
for a while, then Tampa Bay again, and then montrealogists

703
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:28,039
cannot stop losing.

704
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 2: And I know we don't have them set to talk.

705
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,119
Speaker 1: About here today, guys, but I'll throw this out there

706
00:38:33,599 --> 00:38:37,119
as a Canadians fan, if I take my hat off

707
00:38:37,159 --> 00:38:41,079
and put my handicappers hat on, I don't think it's

708
00:38:41,079 --> 00:38:42,199
a great spot for them.

709
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 2: It's not. It's not a good spot.

710
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,119
Speaker 1: But if they can win tonight, this team will have

711
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,599
rattled off seventh straight. Carm I tweeted out the other day,

712
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,360
how about those Canadians dot dot dot, And that's all

713
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,000
I've got. That's all a little bit, a little bit

714
00:38:57,039 --> 00:39:00,440
of how about those habs because and I'll say one thing,

715
00:39:00,559 --> 00:39:03,440
and Brian, before it gets you out of here, you

716
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:08,119
said this two years ago, unpucked time, which I can't

717
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:12,159
argue with, which is there's value on fading the home

718
00:39:12,199 --> 00:39:15,119
team and the playoffs because there's more added value or

719
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,599
price on them. And I get it with the with

720
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,119
the with the home ice advantage with the last change,

721
00:39:20,159 --> 00:39:24,679
with all that stuff, But I'll tell you one thing. Anybody,

722
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,280
and I honestly think even most Maple LEAFUE fans will

723
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,199
agree at this point, the Bell Center is the best

724
00:39:31,199 --> 00:39:34,280
arena in the league. And if you give them home

725
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,920
ice advantage, I'm telling you that makes the world of

726
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,760
a difference. Because they went down two against the Capitols

727
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,880
last year in the first round, they came home and

728
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,320
they won. They scored like five or six goals in

729
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,679
Game three. I'm telling you, if this team can secure

730
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,960
home ice, it makes me more comfortable. Playing Tampa or

731
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,559
Buffalo is scary as hell, but if they can secure

732
00:39:57,599 --> 00:40:00,000
home ice, it does help me feel a bit better.

733
00:40:00,079 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 2: Brian.

734
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,679
Speaker 1: And there's only some teams that I care about home

735
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,679
ice for, and CAROLINEA is one of them. They always

736
00:40:05,679 --> 00:40:08,199
have home ice. But there's some teams that I just

737
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:09,519
couldn't care less about it.

738
00:40:10,039 --> 00:40:14,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny you mentioned that your team is in

739
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,559
the playoff. Chase Carmines team isn't a playoff chain. This

740
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:19,480
is the first time since I've been on the show

741
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,480
knock on Wood. Our favorite teams may all be in

742
00:40:24,519 --> 00:40:25,440
the playoffs this year.

743
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 3: Yes, Yeah, and the guy who's not on the show.

744
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:33,320
His team's not in the playoffs. See there's a correlation

745
00:40:33,519 --> 00:40:36,320
here where on the show your team is going to

746
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:40,000
make the playoffs. That's it. It's all I gotta say, Brian,

747
00:40:40,519 --> 00:40:43,320
Thanks man, I appreciate you. You're gonna be doing double

748
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,880
duty starting next Thursday. You'll do Thursday of next week

749
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,800
and then all four days Monday to Thursday the following

750
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,880
week to end the NHL season. You and Andrew, and

751
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:59,199
we'll toss in good old Don Julio Busters for some

752
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,880
guest appearance as well too. Before he heads north of

753
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,039
the border. He really wants to see us. He's gonna

754
00:41:05,039 --> 00:41:06,960
have to bring some of those Mexican pesos in some

755
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,440
tequila if he wants to hang out with us.

756
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 4: All I got to say is, Andrew, I can't wait

757
00:41:12,559 --> 00:41:15,800
till I get to the point that pres and Carminor

758
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:20,440
in where you just take vacations any time you want

759
00:41:20,639 --> 00:41:22,000
and somebody fills in for you.

760
00:41:22,679 --> 00:41:24,079
Speaker 2: Yes, what a life?

761
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:25,039
Speaker 4: What alive?

762
00:41:26,119 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 3: It's listen it is. I look at it this way.

763
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,559
When you're married, there's U and you. You take trips

764
00:41:32,599 --> 00:41:35,679
to go to baseball games, soccer games or whatever. There's

765
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,840
one time a year where for your wife's mental health,

766
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,840
you let her pick the trip and she chose Turks

767
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,199
and Caicos. And that's where we're going for seven days.

768
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,159
I have a friend who lives there. He's gonna take

769
00:41:47,199 --> 00:41:49,920
me golfing, and he says to me, and I'm going

770
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,280
to let you go quickly. But get this is what

771
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,280
he said to me. Goes, I'm a member at a club.

772
00:41:53,599 --> 00:41:55,639
He goes, it's like two hundred and fifty dollars US

773
00:41:55,679 --> 00:41:57,840
for around the golf. He goes, it's a one sixty

774
00:41:58,159 --> 00:42:00,400
if I bring you because I'm a member, I'm like

775
00:42:00,519 --> 00:42:02,960
one sixty perfect. It's like a dollars shot the way

776
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:08,039
I play golf. So that's pretty much it. That's right.

777
00:42:09,119 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 2: I feel the same way.

778
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: Look, I'm going away, and the funny thing is for us,

779
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,760
there's no in my opinion, the money to be made

780
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,800
in the NHL is in the first round. I'm actually

781
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,960
going away this year and during the second round.

782
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 2: Uh. But the best part is with the job that

783
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:22,519
we all have.

784
00:42:23,119 --> 00:42:27,119
Speaker 1: I'm going away with my in laws and I just

785
00:42:27,159 --> 00:42:28,760
get to say, oh no, I'm working.

786
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 2: I'm working. I'm just watching hockey.

787
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,199
Speaker 1: And they're like, don't bother Andrew right now, he's working,

788
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,239
and they're like, I'm not even actually going over numbers

789
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,159
or doing my right ups. It's gonna be a what

790
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,559
is it, carm five hour time difference four hours, So

791
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,079
I'm gonna be just watching the Habs play at like

792
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,360
midnight local time, and don't worry about Andrew. He's just working,

793
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:52,079
you know, Okay, sure, yeah, just watching some games. So Brian,

794
00:42:52,119 --> 00:42:54,760
good luck with baseball this weekend, big card today in

795
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:55,360
the NHL.

796
00:42:55,639 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 2: We'll talk to you next time. Brother.

797
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 1: Everybody car a lot of fun so far today on

798
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,480
the show Man and say it's a massive, massive slate.

799
00:43:03,519 --> 00:43:07,280
A lot of great comments here from all of you guys, Rich, Lorenzo,

800
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,960
TJ as always, Titan CT as always, you know, Steve

801
00:43:12,039 --> 00:43:14,119
and all of you guys in here. So if you're new,

802
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,760
hit the like button for us. It really does help

803
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:19,960
out the show. I never wanted to be one of

804
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,360
those YouTube guys that's saying, smash that like button, do

805
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,400
all this and that, but I promise you guys, it

806
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,760
reflects well on Carmine and I. If you guys can

807
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,280
get the likes up preferably, we need at least two

808
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,360
hundred likes. I think that's easy to ask from you guys,

809
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,159
so hopefully we can get that out of you.

810
00:43:39,159 --> 00:43:41,760
Speaker 3: No need to smash it, just lightly top it. It

811
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,119
works the same way. It's all good. We don't need

812
00:43:45,159 --> 00:43:48,480
you to the keys on your on your laptop flying

813
00:43:48,559 --> 00:43:52,280
up in the air and stuff like that. Andrew Ellie

814
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,800
Kings second of it. Back to back here for them

815
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,880
after a big win last night. I just won twenty.

816
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,679
You got the Nashville Predators plus one zh five. This

817
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,199
is where we stand right now. The Kings are in

818
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:08,480
a playoff spot on seventy eight points with having played

819
00:44:08,519 --> 00:44:12,079
seventy four games, same amount of games for Nashville seventy four,

820
00:44:12,159 --> 00:44:15,119
so they got eight left. They're a point back of

821
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:19,239
the Kings but in tenth place. So it's one of

822
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:23,119
those ones where a three point game kind of helps

823
00:44:23,119 --> 00:44:28,519
out both these teams. Probably if Nashville picks up the win,

824
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,159
move to seventy nine points, move a little bit closer,

825
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,599
they'd be tied with the Kings but behind them on

826
00:44:34,679 --> 00:44:38,679
regulation wins. I believe would you take a draw in

827
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,119
this game? How would you play this one?

828
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,519
Speaker 1: I like where your eyes are with that, I get it.

829
00:44:44,679 --> 00:44:47,320
Everything matters like I said, like, yeah, they're right there,

830
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:51,920
They're right there. Well, like I said to Brian, it's

831
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,440
kind of an embarrassing when you look at it here,

832
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,440
guys that this team barely has that many points on

833
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,199
the season, but just the way the divisions work way

834
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,840
everything is lining up in the West, they might be

835
00:45:03,039 --> 00:45:06,880
a playoff team, which is just absolutely wild to look at.

836
00:45:07,639 --> 00:45:10,079
When I go through my numbers here and I take

837
00:45:10,119 --> 00:45:12,599
a look at this LA Kings team. They may have

838
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,119
fallen just a little bit when it comes to their

839
00:45:15,159 --> 00:45:18,840
defensive ability, you know, just relying on a handful of

840
00:45:19,199 --> 00:45:22,360
players to hopefully step up and create some plays. But

841
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:26,280
I'm not overly impressed with their offensive ability or excuse me,

842
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:27,440
their defensive ability.

843
00:45:27,519 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 2: And when you look.

844
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 1: At every point mattering karm it kind of does correlay

845
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,960
with unders. But when I look at the expected goals

846
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:38,920
four against or shots on goal against for this team,

847
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,840
I mean Nashville is what one, two, three, four five,

848
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,400
they're like bottom seven or eight, Like they're giving up

849
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:51,760
all kinds of chances. LA themselves is giving up chances.

850
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,639
Their offense has had to show up as well. And

851
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,599
the game that they're coming off of, when I look

852
00:45:57,599 --> 00:46:00,519
at the shot counts in that game. It's not exactly

853
00:46:00,519 --> 00:46:03,519
indicative to how the game overly played out.

854
00:46:04,199 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 2: I think that you look at one game to the next.

855
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,679
Speaker 1: If I always said this this season, second half of

856
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,679
back to back does not always mean over. We're coming

857
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,480
off at two to one game. I think this game

858
00:46:16,519 --> 00:46:19,360
could go over the total. Nashville has found their offense

859
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,920
a little bit. There's been some guys contributing for that

860
00:46:22,079 --> 00:46:26,519
lineup for that team. Yes, we saw a draw yesterday.

861
00:46:26,559 --> 00:46:28,599
We very well could see a draw here again today.

862
00:46:29,039 --> 00:46:31,159
But Karm, doesn't it seem a bit light that we're

863
00:46:31,199 --> 00:46:33,400
getting a five and a half on a second half

864
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:34,440
of a back to back here.

865
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:36,119
Speaker 2: That's very intriguing to me.

866
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's a difficult one sometimes, Andrew, because you know,

867
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:45,119
I'll look at like short runs for teams, because sometimes

868
00:46:45,159 --> 00:46:48,800
you can get on team on you know that has

869
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,480
sort of good numbers as far as like totals do

870
00:46:52,199 --> 00:46:54,840
with the home and away splits. But this is this

871
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,199
is one where we have like conflicting numbers. Like even

872
00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:01,679
though Nashville can't scoring is scores goals their last ten

873
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,559
games on the road, they're two seven and one to

874
00:47:04,639 --> 00:47:08,800
the over seven games have gone under the total with

875
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:13,199
a push and then the La Kings, a team who

876
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,760
doesn't score a lot of goals, are six three and

877
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:19,000
one at home their last ten to the over. So

878
00:47:19,119 --> 00:47:21,559
it is one of those audities you would think those

879
00:47:21,679 --> 00:47:24,199
numbers would be reversed. It would be the La Kings

880
00:47:24,639 --> 00:47:32,559
with a negative ROI betting their overs and a positive

881
00:47:32,639 --> 00:47:36,239
ROI on Nashville. But it is the complete reversal here.

882
00:47:36,639 --> 00:47:38,320
But I still do see this as a game in

883
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,280
which I think we're going to see some goals. I'm

884
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,000
not saying this is going to be a five to

885
00:47:43,039 --> 00:47:46,280
four game, but four to two gets us over the

886
00:47:46,639 --> 00:47:48,920
finish line as well too. Three to two with an

887
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,679
empty netter as well too. You never want to wait

888
00:47:51,679 --> 00:47:54,800
for the empty edit, but sometimes you need it. So

889
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:58,159
you know, with that said, that could very well happen tonight.

890
00:47:58,519 --> 00:48:00,159
I'm not sure other Kings are going to perform on

891
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,159
the second of a back to back. You have a

892
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:08,440
arrested Bread's team who have some speed, who have some

893
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,440
some bigger bodies on their team, and if they try

894
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,679
and turn this into a bit more of a physical game,

895
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,639
they might very well wear down this Elie Kings team.

896
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:21,599
So saying they're a live dog at only plus one

897
00:48:21,679 --> 00:48:25,880
oh five doesn't seem right. But they seem like the

898
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:27,760
side I want to take tonight in this game.

899
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,679
Speaker 2: I don't blame you whatsoever. I do not blame you whatsoever.

900
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: And Brian talked about sometimes we have teams that step

901
00:48:36,559 --> 00:48:39,159
up late in the season even if they might not

902
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,000
make the playoffs. Don't you get that feeling with the

903
00:48:42,079 --> 00:48:45,960
Nashville Predators, with with the veteran players.

904
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,159
Speaker 2: They have the older guys on that team, karm.

905
00:48:48,519 --> 00:48:52,039
Speaker 1: They're playing with pride, they're playing with some self respect

906
00:48:52,119 --> 00:48:54,440
here where we're going to try and go out on

907
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:56,440
a good note at least this season.

908
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 2: That's kind of the vibe I'm getting right now with Nashville.

909
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Listen, they had the opportunity at the trade

910
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:06,639
deadline to get rid of some guys. You know, they

911
00:49:06,679 --> 00:49:10,960
did move some, but guys like Stamkostas stayed and you

912
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:16,000
know the team is still they're performing there there, they're

913
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:19,920
points from a playoff spot. Win tonight in regulation and

914
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:24,239
you leap frog over the LA Kings. So they're there,

915
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,280
you know what I mean, all you can ask for

916
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:28,559
is to have a chance. It's kind of like the

917
00:49:28,639 --> 00:49:31,840
dumb and dumber. So you're saying, we got a chance.

918
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,519
So and that's what they're saying. Speaking of chances, chances

919
00:49:35,519 --> 00:49:38,760
are you're gonna give us a winner with some player props.

920
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:40,119
So what do you got for us?

921
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, before we get to the player props segment, I

922
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:47,119
got to shout out Pocket Surprise here because I hope

923
00:49:47,159 --> 00:49:50,079
the Bruins are being covered today. Put Time is not

924
00:49:50,199 --> 00:49:53,719
good about showing the Bruins love. Come on, guys, I

925
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:57,239
did tune in ten minutes late and I did give

926
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:02,039
out the Jason Robertson power play point against the Bruins

927
00:50:02,119 --> 00:50:05,000
the last time that they played. Today they're playing against

928
00:50:05,039 --> 00:50:08,599
the Florida Panthers, and look, we got to just say this.

929
00:50:09,199 --> 00:50:12,559
The Florida Panthers karm are doing what the Maple Leafs

930
00:50:12,559 --> 00:50:15,880
should be doing. They have shut down every single player.

931
00:50:16,039 --> 00:50:19,760
Mar Shawn and all those guys have been completely shut down.

932
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:24,400
So I'll tell you what right now, Pocket Surprise, there's

933
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,679
no defense right now for Florida. Every game is going over.

934
00:50:28,199 --> 00:50:30,119
I would probably look for a high scoring game. This

935
00:50:30,159 --> 00:50:33,960
Bruins team is scoring maybe a team total. But we're

936
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:35,440
not trying to show no love.

937
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,199
Speaker 2: To them. I won't speak for Carmine. For me.

938
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,519
Speaker 1: I'm having a tough time handicapping Bruins games, which is

939
00:50:41,559 --> 00:50:43,519
why I'm not talking about them very much.

940
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 2: But let you go ahead, carm go ahead.

941
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,280
Speaker 3: I will go out on a limb and say that

942
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,280
the Boston Bruins will be on my six and sixty

943
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:55,400
for Saturday, which you guys will get on tomorrow's show.

944
00:50:55,559 --> 00:50:59,639
So last Saturday six and sixty was the first losing

945
00:50:59,639 --> 00:51:03,159
sixty sixty in like almost six weeks. I believe it

946
00:51:03,199 --> 00:51:06,760
went like two and four after like a five and one,

947
00:51:07,079 --> 00:51:09,800
five and one and four and two and five and

948
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:14,280
one run so some great runs. Last week was garbage.

949
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:18,719
We'll get it back. I am guaranteed six and oh

950
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:20,559
if you hit that like button, if you don't hit

951
00:51:20,559 --> 00:51:24,400
the like button, five and one, if you hit the

952
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,760
if you don't comment and four and two, you guys

953
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:29,760
determine how the six and sixty is gonna do by

954
00:51:30,039 --> 00:51:33,280
that like button and stuff. Andrew singing, All.

955
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,039
Speaker 1: Right, we gotta wrap it up here, guys, real quick.

956
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,079
This is the play of the day. Here with player props,

957
00:51:38,519 --> 00:51:40,840
we hit the power play point as I just mentioned

958
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:42,599
with Jason robertson plus one fifty.

959
00:51:42,639 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 2: I believe it was or plus one forty.

960
00:51:44,559 --> 00:51:47,519
Speaker 1: Today, we got a great one for you, Matt Boldy

961
00:51:47,679 --> 00:51:51,360
from the Minnesota Wild, to record a power play point.

962
00:51:51,559 --> 00:51:56,199
Forget about laying that insanely expensive number on him to

963
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,559
record a regular point when you can get the power

964
00:51:59,599 --> 00:52:00,239
play point.

965
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,280
Speaker 2: We have a top five power.

966
00:52:02,039 --> 00:52:06,320
Speaker 1: Play in the league against a bottom five penalty kill

967
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,639
in the league. This is just a fantastic matchup here.

968
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:14,440
You've got Minnesota, You've got Vancouver. Vancouver look coming off

969
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:18,320
that high against Colorado. I do not think they're gonna

970
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,360
be able to get it done today. But that line

971
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:23,400
is so pricey on the game, you gotta go the

972
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:26,119
player prop route. Put it this way, Quinn Hughes to

973
00:52:26,159 --> 00:52:28,800
get a power play point, guys, is only plus one ten.

974
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:32,480
This is the play to look at, Matt Boldy plus

975
00:52:32,559 --> 00:52:36,599
one point fifty power play point. I'll just mention once again, guys,

976
00:52:36,639 --> 00:52:40,880
that fantastic deal one ninety nine Stanley Cup playoffs, rest

977
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:45,000
of the regular season ten to zero. Number eleven goes tonight.

978
00:52:45,079 --> 00:52:47,960
For me, I think I have one baseball play. It's

979
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,880
a small three games slate. One baseball play for today.

980
00:52:51,199 --> 00:52:55,119
One NHL play for today. Let's keep it going over

981
00:52:55,119 --> 00:52:57,480
to Carmine for what he has and guys, best of

982
00:52:57,559 --> 00:52:59,880
luck today. It's gonna be a great, great day in

983
00:53:00,079 --> 00:53:01,039
the NHL.

984
00:53:02,559 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 3: Yep, Andrew International breaks over, so I'm gonna have some

985
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:10,320
huge cards of soccer on Saturday and Sunday, both in

986
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:13,519
Europe and here in North America. With the MLS three

987
00:53:13,559 --> 00:53:17,000
plays up for me in the NHL tonight. You can

988
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,440
get those over at wt dot Buzz Backslash CB or

989
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,800
take advantage of that deal and you get every play

990
00:53:24,199 --> 00:53:26,679
from now through the end of the NHL season and

991
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:28,719
then the Cup to Cup special which is good until

992
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:32,320
Friday at midnight, I believe. And that's all the NHL

993
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,920
through the Stanley Cup and all World Cup plays as

994
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,159
well too. Now my pod play, I had to come

995
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:42,239
up with a new graphic on this one, Andrew, so

996
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,920
because after what the Ottawa Senators did to me in

997
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:49,719
the last one, I feel like I'm sinking the pod play.

998
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,840
We need a winner there. It is thank you to

999
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:57,039
my good friends at chat GPT for that one there.

1000
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:59,360
The pod play is going to be the Tampa Bay

1001
00:53:59,559 --> 00:54:02,719
Lightning in regulation tonight. They're coming off a loss to

1002
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:07,400
the Montreal Canadians at home Tampa. Their last fourteen games.

1003
00:54:08,119 --> 00:54:11,320
You look at in March and they have gone eight

1004
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:15,800
and six across those fourteen games, five and one in

1005
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:19,800
the next game after a loss. Those five wins all

1006
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:23,199
in regulation. I am taking them to win in regulation

1007
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:28,079
here plus one ten the Tampa Bay Lightning to get

1008
00:54:28,079 --> 00:54:32,119
the win against the Pittsburgh Penguins. That is your pod play.

1009
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,440
All right there, you see the deal, guys. We appreciate

1010
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:39,880
you guys all tuning in. We're gonna see you again

1011
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,639
on Friday. We'll discuss a couple of games. We'll have

1012
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,880
like saying gay parlay the six and sixty segment and

1013
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:47,920
we hope to see you guys there. And I'll have

1014
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:53,159
some news on the Splash Sports Survivor NHL contest that

1015
00:54:53,199 --> 00:54:57,760
we are putting together for myself, Andrew Quitnis and Brian Leonard.

1016
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,920
This is part time. We will see you on Friday.
