Speaker 1: Happy Friday, guys, Welcome to Puck Time on wager Talk TV.
We are ready for a great show. Just three games,
but all kinds of stuff to get into. We're gonna
talk about the league as a whole. We're gonna take
a look at a handful of the games here today
on the NHL slate, and I guess by handful, I
mean the games that are going on here, the few
games we got six and six. We've got some great
promotional stuff for You've got to play the day. We've
got some props. We got a lot to get to
and both of us, not just one of us, both
of us have big plays going this weekend when it
comes to NFL Wildcard action. So look forward to a really,
really fun couple days here, guys. And you know what,
if you're a football fan, you got treated to a
good start last night with college football as well.
Speaker 2: What a game that was.
Speaker 1: And with college football, I'm mostly just a spectator, mostly
a viewer. I had no dog in the fight, KRM.
That was fun to watch. And NHL my habs first
place in the division for plays, big game on Saturday
against Detroit, watch out. And yes, I understand your sabers
won two, but they beat the Rangers when the Rangers
were at home. Karm, So you know how it goes
that anybody will beat the Rangers when they're at home.
Speaker 2: How are you this morning? Good?
Speaker 3: I watched the Rangers game. Once the Rangers hit two goals,
I thought that's it. They can't get any more than that.
Savers were good after that one. I don't know what
it is with that team. They just can't can't seem
to score any goals at home. Speaking of teams that
can't score any goals, I kind of made fun of
the Devils on the X yesterday with the little congratulations pitcher.
They finally, after allowing fourteen straight goals, they finally scored
a goal. They still lost the game, but they scored
a goal on the power play. Hughes, congratulations, guys, you
finally got one. I figured out a way to turn
around the Pod that I think is lost three in
a row now but still very profitable the Pod on
the season, and you'll see it in the image when
when we preview the third game. But we're gonna do Washington, Chicago, LA, Winnipeg,
Saint Louis in Utah, which happened to be all three
games on tonight's schedule and the only three games on
tonight's schedule. Then we'll do the Pod Andrew same game parlay.
I'll finish it with the six and sixty, a few
promos along the way, and then the closing, and that's
pretty much it. Guys, some pretty good games yesterday. Colorado
just continues to roll teams. It's it's unbelievable. I was,
I was surfing back and forth watching games. I had
Nashville to beat the Islanders yesterday as a client play.
They get the win in a shootout, I'll take them
anyway I can get them, because I never win those
shootout bets. And Andrew that basically three and two night,
a profitable night in the NHL, and then a winner
in the college playoff game. I had Miami first half
on the points spread. So now fifteen to five and
one with college bowl games and the CFB playoff games.
One more play goes tonight, and that one's a four
percent best bet winner. So look at the three day
all access. But with that said, Andrew, let's get going.
These guys want some some chatter here. No, we don't
want any Senators drama. We don't know if that's true
or not. For you guys in the chat, we'll let
them sort it out. But with that said, Washington and Chicago.
The Capital's minus one fifty one coming off the loss
to the Dallas Stars. Chicago plus one twenty five playing
well at home, andrew total sits here at six. How
are you breaking this one down?
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, Calm, I'm actually looking at the
dog here in this one. I have a slight lean
towards the dog. I look at this team anytime Spencer
Night in the game, I can feel a little bit
better about them, you know it, Just with how good
this team can be overall, I want to be able
to beck then when they've got them, when they've got
Spencer Knight behind them. But overall, this Washington team, we've
seen some regression as far as a lot of their
defensive metrics are concerned defensive structure, collapsing possession, collapsing dangerous
scoring chances. In their last ten games, they're near the
bottom of the pack when it comes down to it.
And right now, the strong power play, the strong shooting
percentage for this Blackhawks team makes me think they could
be a play here in this one and when I
look at the numbers, Karm, this is kind of that
market play of the day if we're looking at it,
and I know people will say, well, you're late to
get in the best number. You don't always want to
jump in then, and each day there's kind of that
weird number of the day that you can locate, you
can find and be like, hmm, what happened here with
that one? And this, to me is kind of that
one here, Karm love has in. Money has come in
on this Chicago Blackhawks team. When I look at this
Hawks team, I feel like they're playing with a bit
more pride lately, you know, I feel like they're putting
some goals up on the board.
Speaker 2: Got its thing.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be feeling good about themselves after putting a
seventh spot up there on the Saint Louis Blues. And
if you don't want to take the money line, you
can take that over two and a half goals on
the team total. But obviously the price you're gonna get
now is not nearly the same price you would have
gotten last night before that. You know, price got absolutely
steamed towards the Blackhawks side.
Speaker 2: Now when it comes to the Capitols.
Speaker 1: I gotta say they're one of those teams that usually
doesn't take it lightly on struggling teams, right like we
saw them put up a seven piece on.
Speaker 2: The Anaheim Ducks.
Speaker 1: But when it comes down to this one, I just
think that, you know what, We've got a Washington Capitals
team that overall has been a little bit you know,
I think taking advantage of a favorable schedule lately, maybe
they should and maybe they take this Blackhawks team a
little bit lighter than they should, and we get a
Hawks team that could surprise them a little bit here.
And let's not forget about the injuries they're dealing with.
Speaker 2: Carm.
Speaker 1: I feel like they are making a difference. We saw
it against Dallas, and I know the Chicago Blackhawks are
a different team than the Dallas Stars, but I do
lean towards this Hawks team. But if I was playing
anything as far as the Capitals are concerned, maybe I
would look towards their team total under I just think
right now, the way Spencer Knight's playing, the way the
possessions going for the Hawks, I'm gonna I'm gonna cheer
for them tonight.
Speaker 2: What do you think.
Speaker 3: Tonight's ey pizza Knight for me Andrew. So I'm gonna
have a pizza bet on this game. That pizza bet
is drawn to order a very nice pizza, and then
I'm gonna put on a nice shirt with a tie
because I ain't gonna take the tie in this game.
Nice plus three ten. Four of the last seven games
for washing And have gone to ot. If you're betting
their draws at least over those seven games, you're making
money because they're always at plus three hundred or more.
This one's plus three ten, and we're seeing some Chicago
money come in. You know, when I read the opening lines,
it was like one fifty one and plus one twenty five.
Washington is now down to minus one thirty from that
one to fifty one, So obviously some Chicago money's coming
in as well too. But this wouldn't surprise me in
this one. You know, teams getting these two get into
overtime and a tow to two type game. There's some
three two score lines on the on on the past
ten for the Chicago team. They love getting to overtime.
I'm surprised they put up seven in their last game.
I think that was an anomaly. This I think This
is still a team that is going to struggle to score,
but they're playing extremely well defensively on home ice, and
they're and obviously with Spencer Night in goal, and added
bonus for them as well too, and added plus for
them as well too. I see this one being tight throughout,
possibly getting to overtime, and if it does, it doesn't
matter to me who cashes after that, because I've already cashed.
I am doing the pizza money, sprinkle the chili pepper,
sprinkle on the pizza. Give me the draw plus three ten.
How many times has my play been just the draw?
But that's what it is because I am not taking
a side in this game. I honestly think this game
is a coin flip. Who's better on paper? Better on paper?
Washington Capitals one under Washington Capitals better on paper, but
right now they're not playing well on the road. Right now,
Chicago is playing well at home. You kind of mix
those two together, and Washington's just inconsistent right now. But
you know, Washington's a team that I think will eventually
put it back together again. The other thing is Tom
Wilson's questionable for this game. I'm not sure if he's
out or not. I haven't seen any reports that's taking
a physical guy out of the and a guy who
can score as well too out of that. Washington Capitol's
lineup is big as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the injuries have added up, and you
know what I was just on Twitter, Blackhawks fans are
chomping at the bit. They're chomping at the bit hoping
to get their young star back, and doesn't look like
he'll be back tonight, which is unfortunate there for this bet.
But you know, the funny thing is is that usually
I'm the big rapid revenge guy. Like usually i'd be
looking at the Caps because these teams played just a
handful of days ago and the Hawks did get the
best of them. But I just I gotta say, this team,
if we break up the season in quadrants and we
don't think about who this Chicago Blackhawks team was two
months ago, we think about who they are in the
past seven days, then these teams, like you said, carm
are about even or or maybe we give the edge
to the Hawks in certain advantages.
Speaker 2: So it kind of depends on when people look at stuff.
Speaker 1: Are you looking at the full season, are you looking
at the last couple of months. Are you basing this
on last year? Are you basing it? Because I think
this Hawks team is pretty good right now. And when
I say right now, I mean just the past couple
of days. So we'll see what ends up happening with
that one. As far as the goalies are concerned here, KRM,
you know, Logan Thompson's obviously been fantastic as well. We've
been seeing him let a couple in recently, but we
still know what he's capable love and he's a good goalie.
But money coming in on this team here with the Hawks,
so if you're interested, you know, I could argue that
this game could be one of those ones, KRM, that
you see it start off slow and then pick up
like start off defensive, start off with low scoring, and
then pick up a little bit later on in the game.
Speaker 2: So we'll see about that one.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say here moving forward, We've got a
couple teams tomorrow that are gonna be playing on Sunday.
But we also just have one team today that's going
to that played yesterday already, and that's the Winnipeg Jets
and this team, KR.
Speaker 2: I saw a bet available.
Speaker 1: At one of the Canadian sports books, and I don't
know if their traders were just behind on this, probably
because they're not taking much action on it, so it
doesn't really matter.
Speaker 2: But the bet was this, which Canadian teams.
Speaker 1: Head coach will be fired first? And the wrong guy
was favored. In my opinion, it was Craig Berube. I
don't know who the trader is of that sports book,
but have they not seen that they've actually turned it around?
Speaker 2: The Leafs are playing better.
Speaker 1: I think that Scott Arneil might be the first coach
fired of a Canadian team in the NHL this year.
This Winnipeg team is struggling mightily right now. KRM, what
do you think of the game here tonight? Looking at
the numbers in this one, it kind of tells you
all you need to know. The La Kings are starting
to turn things around a little bit. What are your
thoughts on this game?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Andrew, you know this is funny for anyone who's
ever had one of those older cars, you know, and
you're trying to turn it over because the battery is
pretty much dead, and it's like it's almost there, and
you're hitting the gas and it's almost there. You're hitting
the gas. I have the Winnipeg Jets. The last couple
of games, they just haven't been able to hold that lead.
You think they're finally getting over that little bit of
a hump where they're gonna get a w in the
win column, and they blow lead to the biggest Golden Knights,
they blow lead to the Edmonton Oilers and they end
up losing those games. It's another one. It's Eric Comery,
likely the starting goalie tonight in goal. I would look
to the over. I get it. These are two teams
that you wouldn't normally think in years past, you would think, oh,
auto under with these teams. But if Eric Comery has
been in goal for sixteen games this year, twelve of
the games have had six or more goals scored in them.
He's obviously not their number one starter. That's Hellibuck. But
even with Helibuck coming back, Winnipeg's scoring some goals, but
defensively they're still allowing too many chances in too many goals.
For me, I'm just gonna take the five and a
half year hope to see some goals in this one
and see if that car finally turns over and the
Jets get a win.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't blame you.
Speaker 1: And the thing is about this Jets team is like
they've had games where they had the lead and they
blew the lead. You know, they've had games that were
low scoring, they've had games that were high scoring. So
what if they do win carm do you think it
has to be like screwed? At this point, they're not
they're not playing good defensively. It's got to be like
four or five goals, Like, there's no way they're going
to be able to defend Comery well enough. Like, if
you're looking towards the Olver, obviously we've got a pretty
good number here and we've got Forrestburg probable for the Kings. Like,
do you think that if Winnipeg does win, they got
to put up four or five here just based on
their defensive play recently.
Speaker 3: I think so. I think they got to put up
at least four to score in this game. I don't
know how they how they're gonna suddenly switch it on
and play the Jets defense that they had, you know
in the last couple of years where they had very
good seasons. You know, at this point, they have thirty
five points. The I think the wild card spot right
now is at forty six, eleven points in January is
and we're almost at the midway point of January. Eleven
points in January is almost impossible to overcome. It really is.
You essentially need something like a fourteen or fifteen game
win streak, something like Saint Louis pulled off, where they
went from last to making it into a wildcard spot
and then making it into playoffs and winning the Cup
in twenty eighteen, they won thirteen games in a row.
At that point, this team is not as not built,
I think, to win thirteen games in a row, and
especially in a Western conference where there is a separation,
and that separation is starting to happen now we're slowly
starting to see it happen in the Eastern Conference where
the good teams, the teams you expected, are starting to
rise to the top. Some of them have already been
there for quite a while. And this Winnipeg Jets team,
I think it's at this point there're seasons lost. So
what do you do with the team. Do you sell
off some pieces, do you not sell off some pieces?
Do you start like a total rebuild? I don't know.
The total rebuild thing is always tough. It's easier for
teams that have accumulated draft picks like my career did
with San Jose and what the La Kings did at
one point and anilin Ducks and accumulating a lot of
taking a lot of dead salary with some players eating
it up so the trades can be made, those three
way trades closer to the trade deadline, and they got
draft picks because of it. I don't know what the
Jets have to move. I haven't looked at their cap
friendly to see what they have or what they can
or cannot do. But this team is an extreme long
shot to make it into the playoffs. I just don't
see it happening. When you're eleven points back, it is
near impossible to leap frog every single team in front
of you, even with a long thirteen game run. So yeah, that's.
Speaker 1: Going be tough for them, because at this point you
end up looking at the season being like, the Western
Conference is really good right now. There's a lot of
new teams that are making a name for themselves. We've
fallen too far behind. We've fallen too far behind. I
will say, though, it's a dog night man. I like
the dogs tonight. Like you've got TJ talking about it.
You've got a Jonathan talking about there's some injuries and
personal issues for some players on the LA Kings, and
of course you've got the former player angled with I
follow and Vallardi and Jonathan. I appreciate you including Pearson
in that conversation, but I don't know if Pearson's getting
a goal scoring bet from me tonight.
Speaker 2: Who knows.
Speaker 1: If Scott Lowton can score last night against the Flyers,
then maybe Pearson can score tonight. But maybe tonight's the
night karm for the Winnipeg Jets to get back on it.
And you know, the funny thing is, I haven't been
taking the Winnipeg Jets at all, so maybe this is
the night to jump back.
Speaker 2: And how funny would it be?
Speaker 1: Right, second half of back to back is the time
that they break their losing streak.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't get it, Andrew, and with their
backup goalie, I just don't see it happening. You know,
yesterday or last night, while I'm watching the games, I'm
updating some spreadsheets and like power rankings and stuff. And
Andrew it just I looked at the standings and it
frustrated me to no end. That the playoff format is
the way it is right now. We talk about it
each and every year when Tampa was playing great and
Florida and Toronto, they're all stuck in the Atlantic and
you end up losing one of those three teams in
the opening round. Guaranteed we're gonna lose one of Colorado,
Dallas and Minnesota in the opening round of the playoffs
because they're all in the same division and their first, second,
and third Colorado if to continue to run away with it,
it's gonna be Dallas and Minnesota and in the opening round.
That's not fair. I get it. It's the NHL the
way they've set it up, but the TV money comes
into it. It's just I do not get this playoff
format needs to be changed because you can't have a
team like Dallas or Minnesota go bowing out in the
opening round of the playoffs. Andrew, I will say this,
and I'm not going to say the name, but I
believe the Minnesota Wild are getting close to making a
deal Andrew to add a defenceman. I won't tell you
who the defenseman is. I'll tell you off air. I
don't want to say it, but I was talking to
one of the beat guys beat reporters from the Buffalo
Sabers who when I worked at the Fan five ninety.
We've kept in touch through and I always talked to
about rumors and trades, and he mentioned something to me.
I'm like, wow, So I had to look it up
and it's a little bit surprising. But we will see.
As teams start to fall off in the West, I
see that deal coming to Fruition, but we will see.
With that, said Andrew, Saint Louis Blues, Utah Mammoth. Someone said,
talk me off the Mammoth. I think was Panda earlier
in the chat. The Utah one seventy one Saint Louis
plus one five and a halfs to total. How you
playing this one?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: I said, over all, karm, this is one of those
nights where I like the dogs, but I was wrong
because I like the first two dogs, but I don't
like this dog here in this one.
Speaker 2: I like the favorite.
Speaker 1: Just the way that this Utah I keep on wanting
to call them the Utah Hockey Club still these days,
which is hilarious. The way this Utah Mammoth team is
playing lately is giving me enough information and enough confidence
to want to back them against the Saint Louis Blues
team that's just giving up goals against everybody that they're facing.
This is a struggling team right now, and not just
that karm their ice cold when it comes to their
offensive capabilities. But looking at some of the websites that
I like to use for my advanced metrics, right now,
the big one in this is the possession advantage that
we have with Utah. They carry the puck more, they
hold onto it more, they create all kinds of chances.
Right now, the Blues just give up way too many
high danger chances. They allow skaters to just walk around,
skate around in their zone, you know, openly take shots.
There's not a lot of pressure going on right now.
And when I look at some of the numbers here
for Saint Louis, the shots on goal they're allowing, they're
allowing nearly thirty shots per game in their last ten games,
and that's not good when both Bennington and Joel Hofer
haven't been great lately, especially Bennington he had that one
shutout against Montreal, but then Joel Hofer has not been
the best either. Yeah, ISC says it's the hope for
redemption game after hiding and not wanting to come in.
I get that, But this is the Utah team I
think is playing pretty well right now. If it ain't broke,
let's not try and fix it here, guys. Over three
and a half goals for the Utah Mammoth. If the
Blues are gonna show some pride, guys, in this one,
it's probably gonna be the same type of thing where
they're gonna, you know, have to show up goals wise. Typically,
and you guys, hear me say this all the time,
typically in these spots like what happened with the New
Jersey Devils getting embarrassed and giving up nine goals. When
a team gives up a high number of goals like
the Saint Louis Blues did, I like to look towards
the under in the next game. But if I was
playing a team total under for anybody here, it wouldn't
be their opponent, it would be themselves. So carm I'll
take Utah over three and a half goals. This is
not the game that they get, right the Saint Louis Blues.
It's not been good for them lately. What do you
think here? Can they bounce back this Blues team after
just getting embarrassed lately.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were embarrassed. Let's see if I can mimic
Hope in that image there. I need you to switch around.
I need you on the other side.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, yeah yeah, that's.
Speaker 2: But you know what that is.
Speaker 1: That's a good goalie partner because he knew his goalie
didn't want to leave the game.
Speaker 2: That's a good goalie partner.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's uh, I get it. The problem with the Blues,
and we talk about like Fridays being a weird night
to bet NHL, and we talk about like freaky Fridays
and what have you, is that the Blues are one
of those teams that they look terrible and then they
have a good game and then they look terrible again.
It is like you look at the like their last
ten games, you know, they beat the Jets one nothing,
they lose to the Rangers, they beat the Florida Panthers,
they lose to Tampa Bay, they beat the Nashville Predators,
and then they lose to the Sabers and Avalanche, and
then they beat Vegas. It's just and then they drop
a bomb and get bombed in Chicago seven to three.
It is one of those ones where I just I
have no faith in putting any money on Saint Louis,
but there's some there's it worries me to want to
put any money against them at times until they go
on and extended losing streak and they seem to be
winning a couple, losing a couple. They're just there. They're
a juckaling hide type of franchise right now. One I
don't think is going to make the playoffs at the
end of the day. I don't think either one of
these two goalies right now is playing like a number
one goalie should be playing. This is uh that you
have to take a game. If I have to take
a lean here, it's going to be Utah. And I
would go one step further in it's not a game
in which I would look for this game to be UH,
this game to go to overtime. I think if Utah
gets the job done, they get it done in regulation.
I think Utah is playing much better hockey at the moment,
much more consistent hockey at the moment, and and they're
at home, So give me Utah in regulation in this one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get what you're saying, Karen, believe me when
I say this, and then the Blues could very well
win here. But I have fallen victims so many times
to the bounce back, you know, And here's a good example.
Let's be honest. Look at the Devils last night, right,
you talked about it. Congrats guys, you got one goal,
you know, but they didn't bounce back.
Speaker 2: They got embarrassed. You know.
Speaker 1: Just because the team gets embarrassed doesn't mean they're always
going to win their next game.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately. You know, they'd like to be able.
Speaker 1: To bounce back and show some pride, but it does
not always mean that they're going to be able to
do that. Carl, you got to play the day for
us here, and I got to tell you you're mixing it
up with your graphics here, and I know that people
love it, so we'll keep on letting it slide. But
you got a bit creative with this one here for us.
What do you have for today?
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I needed to get rid of the fire
because the fire. I think once we went with the
fire the fire graphic on there, I just completely cooled off.
I feel like the guy from a Game of Thrones,
So you know, With that said, I'm going with like
a frigid a frigid image in this one. I'm going
to take the as preleas you mentioned, Utah. Yes there
I am. I'm cold, man, I feel cold just looking
at that. I'm taking the Utah Mammoth in regulation to
win this one against the by the sometimes bipolar Saint
Louis Blues. I don't know which team is going to
show up for Saint Louis tonight. I do know what
team's gonna show up for Utah. This is a team
that's that I'm looking at their analytic numbers on the
screen and they just seem to be getting better and
better each game. The results aren't always there, but I
think they've won three of the last five on home ice.
They are playing much better and if they if their
numbers continue to rise, this is a team that's going
to put together a nice, little tidy run. And looking
at their schedule, they've got a favorable schedule. The problem
is with the scheduling right now is a lot of
teams are going to be on back to backs three
and four, five and seven, four and six days or
five and seven type of thing, or five and eight
because of the condensed schedule prior to the February fifth
shutdown for the Olympic Games. But with that said, the
Utah Mammoth in regulation minus one fifteen.
Speaker 1: The mammoth, the Mammoth in the cold weather. That's where
the next Winter Classic will be. And I'll tell you what,
I am one of those people that thinks that it
belongs in a place like that, And it looks a
hell of a lot better than the Winter Classic in Miami.
So sure, it seemed like it was a pretty fun event.
But I went to a Winter Classic RM at Gillette Stadium,
Boston Bruins, Montreal Canadians in the snow. I wore like
a snowsuit like I was going skiing. That's the Winter Classic.
So it will be Utah and Colorado next year for
the Winter Classic. That's my opinion. It's I'm sure everybody
at the game had fun, but don't call it the
Winter Classic.
Speaker 2: All right, if it's in Florida, come on, what better graphic?
Speaker 3: Okay, the cold and a wooly mammoth, come on, they
fit together. I'm sorry to brew Fesser. Brusca says that
the Devils were is only lost last night. Listen the pods.
I do them to show that single game betting as
opposed to like parlays, are the way to go to
build a bankroll because you can sustain a longer losing streak.
And this, if nothing else, I didn't do this losing
streak on purpose to show you guys that the bank
will still survives. I want to keep winning, man, because
I've written down some very good charities that you guys
have put in the comments section that I should be
donating to when I do the next donation, and there's
going to be another round of donations. These ones, some
of the US ones, some in Vegas. Obviously, animal rescue
a dog rescue places. Animal rescue places are one of them.
The in Vegas. I think it's the Wounded Warriors or
the for the veterans as well who served for your nation,
uh in keeping the US safe and keeping Canada safe
as well too. So there's a lot of important charities
out there that deserve the money. Speaking of charities, Andrew,
I'm just going to go off on a tangent some
freaking idiot in Toronto. You know what he did. There's
a place called There's there's a company called Country Harvest,
I think it is. And what they do is they
have trucks and they they bring food to different places,
food banks all over Ontario and what have you. Some
idiot is caught on video putting water in the gas
tanks of five of their trucks. Wow, who then are
going to deliver this food? And the trucks obviously shut
down and service and stuff. Food gets wasted, doesn't get delivered,
some idiot. Those are the guys. You am sorry, I'm
gonna be wronger. Those you catch them, you hang them
by the balls and out of them. That's it. That's
what I would do. Yes, this is I'm sorry, it's
not PG thirteen today on this show. But come on, man,
like what an absolute idiot? Anyways, with that said.
Speaker 2: Right, that is not right. That's not right.
Speaker 1: Arm I just got a couple of plays here to
look at, keeping it simple here, and we're even throwing
a money line in there. I already had these three
picks selected, but I decided to say, screw it, we're
gonna add Winnipeg onto there as well. Gave Vallardi point,
Mark Shifley point, and Kyle Connor three plus shots on goal.
Of course, Vallardi and Shifley, they play together. We can't
take Connor to get a point because his number is
just so extremely high. It is that revenge game, of course,
Vallardi against his former team. Players always get up against
their former teams. We're gonna take the Winnipeg Jets the
snap out of that streak at plus one ten, you know,
second half of back to back, right, and they're plus
one ten second half of their back to back and
they're only plus one ten. Seems a bit weird to me,
carm I'll take the dog in this one. Vollardi, Shifeley,
Jets and Connor shots on goal plus three eighty five.
Speaker 2: Again, guys, shop around.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get the best prices the more that you
look around to multiple sports books.
Speaker 2: I love when guys comment and they're.
Speaker 1: Like, Andrew, I can get a way better price somewhere else,
And my response is, then do it.
Speaker 2: Then do it.
Speaker 1: I'm just using a book here that I think a
lot of you guys probably can access, so hopefully we
can get it. Oh, I hold on, carm I gotta
address this from TJ. Salvator.
Speaker 2: TJ.
Speaker 1: TJ, don't listen to I live in a bit. I
live in a city. I don't live in Toronto or
New York or whatever I live. I don't live in
the country. Okay, this is what happens when people I
know Karm and pres are messing with me. But other
people that don't understand and don't know geography.
Speaker 2: Not you, TJ.
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about you, but other people have said
these comments and made jokes that they make Halifax act
like some small place, Karm. And it's not, as you know.
So yes, there's Starbucks everywhere, TJ. And yes, you know what.
I don't usually do this, but I treated myself to
a Uber Eats coffee because I'm out of coffee at home.
I went so many days in a row with making
coffee at home and then I said, you know what,
screw it, I'm making coffee by getting Uber Eats. So
that's how I ended my week here, Karm. But you know,
I'm tired of the disrespect on my city, Karm. Nobody
has Nobody knows Halifax, nobody knows that the nice skyline
that we have, Nobody knows what we have to offer.
Speaker 2: So you know what, Yeah, I'm.
Speaker 1: Gonna bring it up because that's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna bring up a picture of the skyline that
you have to come visit. This is my city. Everybody,
you guys think that we've got no Starbucks. We got
to know this, or that this is a big city
for me at least time. I don't live in Toronto,
all right, not a fancy guy like you. But everyone
thinks I live in the country woods, all right. I
don't live in Maine. I don't live in a small place.
It's not bad here, okay.
Speaker 3: Sure, listen, when that Uber Eats driver arrived, did you
at least give a couple of carrots to the horse
that was drawing the carriage or no?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the snowmobile that drove that drove the Uber
Eats here exactly, DJ Salvatar, Sid is so thankful to
be from the same place as me. I'm not from
the same place as Sid. State is from the same
place as I am, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: What is the population? It's Andrew and three other guys.
Speaker 1: And Andrew, it's mean about nine ninety nine people.
Speaker 3: But see now it's just a TJ TJ. Salvador. He
asked me about do I think Torino can get it
done against Atalanta on the road they've been playing well
of late. I think they've won three of the last
five games. They play a good defensive structure. We'll have
to see outright. Probably not, but on the handicap, if
you're getting a goal a goal in a quarter from them,
because Atalanta is in good form right now, I'd probably
look to to take the plus one and a quarter
or one and a half if you can get it,
just don't lay a ton of vig With that said, Andrew,
it is time for the six and sixty. Now this
is a true six and sixty. Because there are so
few notes on this one. I call this the square
version of six and sixt and you'll understand why it's
the square version. But when I look at Saturday's card,
there are so many games that pop out to me.
I'm going to have a huge card, more games than
I would normally have on Saturday, and two or three
of these ones are going to make it in to
my client plays. Maybe not the actual card that goes
up for sale, but a couple one and a half
and two percent plays will come out of this six
and sixty. So with that said, remember this is a
first look at Saturday's games. The lines have not yet
come out. They normally come out at around twelve thirty
one o'clock. Where with that said, Andrew, you can toss
up the graphic if you want there and away we go.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll start with you solo shot. All right, Carl,
here you go.
Speaker 3: This is your six and sixty. Colorado and Columbus. We're
taking the Avalanche in regulation. Avalanche have eighteen wins at home.
All of them come in regulation. Toronto and Vancouver the Leafs.
In regulation. The Leafs have finally woken up six oh
and two their last eight. The Cannucts have lost five straight,
seven of the last eight. Sanjos and Dallas were taking
the over six and a half, the Sharks nine to
oh and one their last ten to the over, Minnesota
and the Islanders meaning money line first game back in
twenty twenty six at home, they're four to two and
one their last seven seven to one and two. Their
last ten at home, Buffalo and Anaheim the over six
and a half, Anaheim nine to one and oh to
the over the last ten games. Vegas and Saint Louis
Vegas money Line Blues are on the second of a
back to back and the sixth worst road record on
the money line Vegas Golden Knights. That's your six and sixty.
Speaker 2: Six and forty eight seconds way to gokarm.
Speaker 3: Very little because it is the that's not var. It's
not var. It's square square around my head. I admit it.
It is a square. But if the square, if the
square six and sixty goes six to zero, then I'm
going to be happy and next week it'll be the
double square six and sixty arm.
Speaker 1: You know what I don't like about the graphic though,
is that you know there's going to be some people
that are going to watch the video and just fast
forward and just look at the graphic and then leave
the YouTube video. We need people watching the YouTube video here.
We need the average engagement to be longer than thirty
seconds of people coming to screenshot.
Speaker 2: You're six and sixty.
Speaker 3: It is blue choo, Yes, blue choo. Uh so, uh oh,
there's a lot.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's kind of weird, Jonathan, because I saw Chicago's
game preview and they didn't say that. So interesting they
wouldn't include that, but I guess they're maybe waiting till
the afternoon to announce it. If he's back. I like
the Hawks that much more. You know, this guy's coming
back with vengeance karm if if, but Dard's back.
Speaker 2: Hell, you ready to rock? I just want to mention
we've got this. You'll go in here.
Speaker 1: It's just fantastic. I don't know what's going on here
with that, but seven day all access for sixty nine
dollars under ten dollars a day at the same price
as three days. Car Mine's got a five percent play
going NFL this week. I got a five percent player
prop going for this weekend. We've got literally one hundred
games going tomorrow in the NHL. We've got college hockey
going as well. Look forward to a great, great, great weekend.
So guys, you guys know the drill. It's much better,
much much better to buy long term, to buy seven
days than it is to just buy one play and
that's all you do. So for me, I'm looking forward
to a good weekend, especially with the NFL player props.
I was number one and number two pretty much all
year long. Not sure who I'm competing against, but I'm
probably guessing it's my good pal Andy Lang, who's great
with the player props as well. So look forward to that,
you guys, wanted a pick from me. In college hockey action,
we got Michigan State going head to head against Ohio
State in this one. I'm gonna lay the minus one
and a half on the plus one ten with Michigan State.
Speaker 2: They're on the road, but they're in much better form.
Speaker 1: I know a couple of you guys were commenting to
me yesterday looking for some college hockey picks.
Speaker 2: I think Michigan State is the team to look at.
Speaker 1: When you look at this number, it's a little peculiar
because they're minus two thirty tolls only five and a half.
I'm looking for kind of a three to one type
victory for Michigan State. I could see it being a
low scoring game, but I do think Michigan State gets
the job done. In the NHL, are in the NCAA,
Jesse Schule he tuned into. Just remind me the Sharks
are in a playoff position, Jesse. The Sharks aren't in
a playoff position. Macln Celo Brainy is in a playoff position.
He is carrying that team. We'll see if that can
hard once you get to February and March and April.
I don't know if one player can will a team
into the playoffs. But I have to give you credit.
He's looking pretty good. He's looking pretty good if it's.
Speaker 3: Done for the season. But if anyone watched or was
watching End Zone End Zone Live on Sunday's Jesse Shole
absolutely amazing, fella, because while it's noon or one o'clock
for us and getting ready to watch NFL football, it's
like midnight over there. And this guy's got chikoudie plates,
he's got sliced steak. Is absolutely amazing. And of course
he's got a couple bottles of wine. You just hear
that cork. Come on there it is, man. The man
is an absolute legend. Jesse Shole, fantastic guy. I'm gonna
go out and visit him one of these one of
these years when I can look outside my front door
and not see three vehicles, one blank Divisa MasterCard and
the other one American Express waiting for me to come
outside and beat be down. But with that said, Andrew
for me one play up tonight in the in the
in the semifinals of the of the college football Playoffs.
As I mentioned, fifteen to five and one about twenty
four units of profit in the college Bulls and playoffs.
Two games left obviously, this one, the semifinal and then
the final. So those of you that bought the college
football playoff package, you're definitely making money on that one.
An NFL five percent play up soccer Soccer for Saturday
is up. I am passing on today's card. It's Thursday.
The Friday's cards are obviously terrible NHL and may have
a player to tonight, but big card which I'll have
up later on this afternoon when the lines are out
in the NHL. So pick up that three day all
access you can get all of those plays. Or for
anyone just interested in football and in hockey, Andrew we Go,
I got this great deal going on right now. If
you can pop it up, you can get the rest
of the NHL season and all of the NHL playoffs
all in one package, one great deal. We are going
to have a great finish to the NHL season and
we're just going to keep on winning in the NFL
playoffs as well too. So take advantage of that package.
And then you know me, anyone who's been a client before.
If I'm not happy about my results, I get the
office to just toss in something a little later on
like maybe the World Cup package, which is about two
ninety nine, but I digress, don't hold me to that one.
I'm going to see what my results are. I judge
my results, Andrew, not on one day, three days, seven days,
or thirty days. I judge myself at the end of
the season. That's the way everyone should judge themselves long term.
That said, Andrew, anything else to go, man or you
want to sign us off and thank all our guests this.
Speaker 1: Week, all the guests, the many guests of Buster and pres.
Speaker 2: Do we have anybody else this day? Do we have
anybody else?
Speaker 3: Listen? Brian Leonard. Brian Leonard is going to be back.
He deserves a little bit of time away. He has
still been putting up some free play, so it's great
that he has done that as well too. I know
I asked you guys to always put up some free
plays in the NHL because people love that and it's
also good for us. He will be back and and
then I'm gonna take a break. But but we got
a lot of hockey guys to cover between now and
February the fifth, So we're gonna try and do as
many shows and as many free pick videos leading up
to the Olympics, where unfortunately, once the Olympics starts, all
you guys in the chat that are in the US,
we're probably gonna go like Mano Amano because it's going
to be like the US versus Canada. There's no other
There is no other final in the Olympics, Okay, of
all the sports in the in the Olympics that would
be better or more epic than Team Canada versus Team
USA in the gold medal matchup. There's nothing else. There
is nothing else. Okay. So that's that's all I have
to say about that. I wait, hold on one more.
Speaker 1: Partying shot some content Olympics as well.
Speaker 3: Since we have a couple of minutes. One more parting shot. Okay,
it's not a parting shot at you is I'm watching
the news this morning, and in Ontario because books are
legalized in Ontario, FanDuel was fined by our government in
Ontario three hundred and fifty thousand dollars and I'm like,
why would they find FanDuel? And they're like three individuals
put in one hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of
bets on Czechoslovakian, Czech Republic whatever ping pong one hundred
and fifty k and bets and they didn't report it.
FanDuel didn't report. I'm like, who's betting one hundred and
fifty k down?
Speaker 2: Though? How would the limits allow pong? How would they
be allowed at the pong?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Someone's asleep at the wheel. One hundred and fifty k
on ping pong, dude, and or table tennis, whatever you
want to call it, table tennis, ping pong, beer pong,
whatever you want to call it. They got one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars down three guys.
Speaker 1: That's crazy, That is crazy, Steve. Yeah, that's a much
better price. We got to be careful which which books
we're talking about, but that is a good one that
we like to use, both Carmine and myself.
Speaker 2: TJ. You're the man. You're the man, he says.
Speaker 1: Andrews off the bicycle thief here says man. That looks
like some good grub, TJ. That's where I want to
take Carmine too, if he would ever come here. We've
got so many nice restaurants along the water now, and
that one, the bicycle thief, is one that anybody that
comes to visit the city has to go to so
I think even Carmine is a pretty fancy guy.
Speaker 2: Carmine, get behind that.
Speaker 1: I'm always then I'll take him after I take you
to one place car that's fancy. The rest of the
time you're here, we're just going to my local bars.
That's that's the deal I'm taking.
Speaker 3: I told Stace, we're good for a road trip. I
would even drive out there. But at what point, like
is it when we enter city limits or before city
limits where it's all dirt roads? You guys paying the
streets yet or no, I'll let you know.
Speaker 2: I'll let you know.
Speaker 3: With that said, guys, we appreciate you guys always tuning
into Puck Time each and every day Monday to Fridays
live at eleven am for myself, Andrew mckinnis, uh, don
Buster and uh the pres who will return next week
as well too. This is Pluck Time. Guys, have a
safe and great betting weekend. We will see you on
Monday
