Speaker 1: NHL Best Bets for Monday, January nineteenth. What's up, guys,
Hope you all had a great and profitable weekend. Welcome
to puck Time here on wager Talk TV, myself Andrew McGinnis,
Carma and Bianco and Lawrence Press. We're going to break
down some games decent slate here on a Monday for
you guys, including some early games. We'll try and touch
on as much as we possibly can. Carman, Hope you
had a great weekend. Man, I appreciate you sweating out
my five percent with me on Friday. That was a
nice way to start the weekend off. How was your weekend.
Speaker 2: Overall?
Speaker 3: Overall it was good. Sports betting was so so. It's
just the ups and downs of sports betting. You try
not to get too high when you're running really good,
and try not to get too low.
Speaker 4: When you're running back.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm thinking more along the lines of like
I passed on NHL yesterday on Saturday, I ended up
going two and two because I had four plays on
the card. One of the losing plays was a smaller play,
So pretty much a wash on Saturday, but watched a
lot of football obviously disappointed Bill's Mafia doesn't get it done.
Sean McDermott fired one hour ago by the Buffalo Bills
and President. I have a different, a different take on
the whole. Should he have been fired? Shouldn't he have
been fired? I've been saying for a couple of years now.
I think he should be fired. He's not the coach
to lead us or lead them there. But with that said,
some wild NFL games, and I know this is a
hockey show, guys, and it's Martin Luther King Junior Day
in the States, so let's not forget that and honor him,
but let's bring in the pres. We're going to talk
about Minnesota, Toronto. Prez is going to break that one down, Washington, Colorado,
New York Rangers, Anaheim Ducks, Andrew with the same game.
Speaker 4: Partly.
Speaker 3: I have two pod plays today, not one, but two,
a double pod day for you guys. Hopefully we can
get them both and then we're gonna sign off and
do it all again tomorrow. Brian Leonard returns next Tuesday
to the show. Looking forward to him coming back. I
much needed a couple of weeks of rest for him,
and I will mention this because he is an NBA
specialist as well too. He has a five percent play
up only a second five percent play in the NBA.
So head over to wager Talk and you can find
that on his page wt Dot Buzz backslash bl prays.
Before we get into hockey chatter, it was a big
day in the NFL this weekend or a big weekend
in the NFL.
Speaker 4: H Yeah, he talked on the games.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, listen, calm, You and I were texting
each other. I was ready to jump off a cliff.
You were going to jump with me. I spoke to
Brian Power today he would have jumped as well. Just
you know, from a betting perspective, a horrible piece of
shit Division weekend. I couldn't have been any worse. I
had Buffalo as a five percent play and there were
five turnovers all against me. I then had the under
in the New England game. There were five turnovers all
on the wrong side of the field, and then I ended.
I did end with a winner, one winner on the
Chicago Bears. But look, I don't want to harp on it.
I had a great wild card week. I had a
shitty Division week. You know, I can only do my
best pick them right, and I cannot account for the
fact that Josh Allen stunk. As far as Sean McDermott goes,
I think Buffalo's out of their fricking mind to fire him.
I would have fired the general manager twenty million times over.
Guy loaded Sean McDermott up with nobody. They couldn't get
a wide receiver. They don't have any you know, major
stars anywhere other than one guy James Cook. Excellent work,
but I mean the way to way to leave. You know,
Buffalo Bills are two people, Sean McDermott and Josh Allen,
and now they're one, so I hope they can. I'm
now officially will not be cheering with the Buffalo Bills
moving forward. They can Cushman tuckas as far as I'm.
Speaker 3: Andrew that that might be a positive. I'm just kidding Press.
Speaker 1: It might be.
Speaker 3: It's the right move. McDermott was too involved, that's according
to you. Yeah, well, because because I follow the team,
he's he was too involved with the defensive play calling
and the offensive play calling. Even though they have Joe Brady.
I think Brady's gonna be gone as well too. I
think his time in Buffalo is likely gone, and then
maybe whoever the new coach is that they bring in
goes to the GM and says, we need wide receivers
to run the offense that I I want to run.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because nobody mentioned that to the GM. You
have to tell a.
Speaker 3: Jena McDermott's McDermott's dermott for the last couple of years.
Speaker 4: Listen, no, no, no.
Speaker 3: McDermott for the last couple of years was adamant that
he wanted a more balanced attack and that is why
James Cook flourished this year because the Bills had a
running game behind him. So we'll see what happens. Anyways,
we got it.
Speaker 1: I will mention this guys in hockey news. In hockey
news Rasmus Anderson now a member of the Vegas Golden Knights.
The trade deadline no longer means anything in the NHL
because all the trades for the biggest players that are
available in contract years seemingly get traded much much before
a lot before that's the trade deadline, so we don't
see that. And then I will add this guys on
a hockey note. Matthew could Shock makes his season debut
today and of course they give him his season debut
against the San Jose Sharks. Look forward to seeing Night's
been doing a lot of talking on that new pop
cast of his. We get him back on track. So
I think it's gonna be interesting. And you know what,
I respect Vegas, no pun intended, but they're always rolling
the dice guys, and why not. They haven't had a
bad year since they've existed as a team yet.
Speaker 3: Andrew, you didn't have to preface it with that with
and in more hockey news, Matthew to Chuck because I'm
pretty sure if you just said Matthew to Chuck makes
his debut tonight, it's not for either Indiana or Okay, Indiana, Miami, Florida. Friends,
hold on a second, man, just calm your heels. I
know you gotta go. I gotta set this up property
for you. Okay. The Leaf's minus one eighteen Minnesota minus
one or two total sits here at six? Where are
you going with this one?
Speaker 2: So full disclosure. I have been killing it betting the
leafs a leaf game somehow all year long.
Speaker 4: Me.
Speaker 2: You guys are had me on and I was giving
out the under game after game after game, and it
was cashing lately, I've been betting the over in Leaf
games and releasing them of my clients and it's been cashing.
I've got a real good handle on this team. I'm
also rolling in the NHL completely right now. I'm on
an eight and two run in the NHL. So let's
go into this Leaf game. Let me start by saying this,
I like the Leafs. I like the Leaves tonight. I
don't love the Leafs tonight because I'm worried about the
Minnesota So right off the bat, I would like to
bet the Leafs, but I'm not going to. And the
reason is you and Minnesota just you know, hit the skids.
They lost two in a row. They beat Seattle in overtime,
and then they lost three in a row, and they
just beat Buffalo and overtime. This team has not won
a game in regulation since January tewond That was seven
games ago. So in their last seven games, the Minnesota
Wild have not won a game in regulation. So why
would I be scared to bet against them right now?
Because this Minnesota Wild team is a really good hockey team.
They are loaded with talent. Since they got Quinn Hughes,
they went on a big, huge, run. I think they're
one of the better teams in the league. And what
we're trying to do is professional betters, and I say
this to my clients all the time, is we're trying
to get ahead of a run. So let's talk about that.
Minnesota Wild are a bet on team over the next
few weeks. The Winnipeg Jets are a bet on team
over the next few weeks. The Vegas Golden Knights are
a bet on team over the next few weeks. The
Calgary Flames are a bet against team over the next
few weeks. That's how I handicap. I look to try
to find what a team is going to do over
the next couple of weeks and then get ahead of it.
I feel like the Wild are about to go on
a run, so I would actually prefer the Wild over
the Leafs in this spot. With that said, I think
we're gonna see an under tonight. Guys, we got there
are a few six and a halfs out there. And
although I have been betting the Over and Leaf games
of late and they have gone over four in a row,
from a goal ending perspective, this team is horrible. They
just let Winnipeg put up three Vegas got six, Utah
got six, Colorado got three, but before that, Vancouver, Philadelphia
and Florido two goals in three games. This Toronto team
is playing bad defensively, and again in keeping with trying
to get ahead of it. I know Craig Marube. We're
good friends. We have dinner on a regular basis, We
hang out in the sauna, we work out together. We
share wives. He is a defensive oriented coach. I think
after three horrible defensive games, will much better against Winnipeg.
But after the two shit games against Utah and Vegas,
I think we see the Leafs play much better defensively.
And I think Minnesota, even though they have struggled to
keep the puck out of the that is a defensive
oriented team as well. So I think the under is
the play in this game. I would rather take Minnesota
over Toronto, but I do not bet against the Leafs.
I'm taking the under.
Speaker 3: You do not bet against Leaves. Well, it's true, I
will say this. Uh and uh, Chuck Pod says your
little blurry Yeah fine now, but it's you know, talk
about Misto going on a run. These are their games
that they have coming up a prior to the NHL
shutdown for the Olympics.
Speaker 4: They have the Leafs obviously tonight.
Speaker 3: Then they're in Montreal, turn home to face Detroitlorida Chicago winner, Algery,
Edmonton Oiters Montreal one more time, and then finish it
with Nashville winner.
Speaker 2: What's that six and three something like that. So there
you go there.
Speaker 3: And one final word, are you Are you worried at
all about the fact that, even though they've had a
couple of days off, the Leafs are returning from a
West coast trip.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Again, that's another reason why I don't want to bet
the Leaves tonight. Like I'm trying to unblurry me, I
don't want to bet the Leafs tonight, guys, Like, so, yes,
I am worried. I mean what that said, Carbine. The
Leafs have been, you know, an incredible hockey team the
last close to four weeks. Now they're in playoff position.
They're really playing good hockey right now. Man, there's just
there's so yeah. I would probably lay off the side.
Speaker 4: All right, but you got to promote.
Speaker 2: I got a hockey play up tonight.
Speaker 1: I love.
Speaker 2: Let me give you first thing I want to give you, guys,
the play the Winnipeg Jets did not make my card tonight.
I really like them in Chicago tonight, especially of a
loss against Toronto in overtime. So I really like the
Winnipeg Jets.
Speaker 4: That's just like a.
Speaker 2: Free play with you guys. But I do have one
hockey play tonight that I like better. It's a total
I'm on an eight and two run. But most importantly,
I have the actual bet that you guys need to
make for the championship game tonight between Miami and Indiana.
I am the number one expert in college football bowls
percentage wise this year and for the last five years.
Literally this year and for the last five years, I
am seven and two, seven and two in bowl betting.
I won both my semi final games. That's the play
for tonight, and it's a four percent play. I'm going
with six wins in a row in my four percent plays.
Get that college football bet in tonight, guys. Thanks for
having me, you two. I will be on tomorrow. Lots
of love, Keep rocking and rolling and uh yeah go leafs.
Speaker 1: How good night, Press, good luck later.
Speaker 4: You.
Speaker 3: Before we get into this Colorado Washington game, let's talk
about just a quick second about that trade.
Speaker 4: Uh. You know, Brian had.
Speaker 3: Dropped the message to us asking what we thought about
that trade with Vegas?
Speaker 4: You call it.
Speaker 3: I think Calgary's in cell mode now. I think at
this point this team can't win.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: They're like Vancouver, a couple a couple of Canadian teams
that are gonna win occasional games. So they're gonna burn
some people sometimes when you play against them, but for
the most part, you look at Vancouver and they're a
train wreck at the moment, you look at Calgary and
and uh, and they're gonna start moving. And they had
to move move him because he wasn't going to re
sign with uh with Calgary. From what I was reading,
I think I think, sorry, I think Vegas stole that
deal because even though they give up one player, a prospect,
and a possible first round draft pick, that first round
pick only becomes a first round pick if they win
the Stanley Cup this year. And if I'm any GM,
I would take a Stanley Cup in exchange for a
first round draft pick.
Speaker 4: What do you think?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I agree, I would certainly do that.
Speaker 3: Any fan base, any fan base would take a Stanley Cup. Uh.
Speaker 1: Look, I can't believe this team has not been bad
since they've existed, right, And I've made jokes about the
fan base, saying we're going to find out how how
much of a fan base they have once this team
actually goes through struggling times. But just the way that
they operate, Like look at what they've done to a
couple of players. Look at what they did to Jonathan
marcisso you know, they they they've just gotten rid of
a couple of players. They've look at what they did
to Marc Andre Fleury when they were all done with them.
You know, like that's it's kind of a cutthroat team,
but they run it like a very they run it
like an all star team. Like they have made it
very clear that they don't care about draft picks. Karm
They they're not bothered. They're this team that has Jack
Geigel and now Mitch Marner and Thomas Hurdle and Mark
Stone and Dori Fayev and all these great defensemen. They
don't care about five years from now. They don't care
about next year's draft. And honestly, I kind of think
that's kind of cool. That's sometimes the way it should be.
But the big point that you made is I'll say
this is that people don't realize the difference in a
trade like this when a player was in a contract year,
because he, like Mitch Marner, was in a contract year
last year. And that's one of the reasons why Leef
fans hate him right now, is because he refused to
take any trades, so he just wait, he played his
contract out and then he said see you later. But
Rasmus Anderson, in a certain way, he kind of did
Calgary of favor because if he said, hey, I'm not
going to be staying here, then you might as well
try and get something for me. So because there's no
contract that's been signed yet now with Hannafin it took
a few months for a contract to be signed anyways,
but it is kind of interesting right that there's no
contract signed. It wasn't a sign and trade or anything.
So right now he is still an unrestricted free agent,
but now he just plays for a different team. And
Calgary got you know, twenty twenty seven first, twenty twenty eight, second,
then those two guys. Zach white Cloud's a good defenseman too,
but obviously Rasmus Anderson's a big big pick up there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is and these are the types of deals,
at least financial wise, that we're going to see. And
maybe this is the first pebble that gets the button rolling,
gets the button rolling. I saw the button come up
on the screen there, so it gets the ball rolling
before the trade deadline, and we see a lot of moves.
Is the ones in which the team that's that's shipping
out the players picking up a bulk of the salary.
They're picking up fifty percent of the salary, which obviously
helps teams that are kind of salary cap tide and
can't make those moves. So this is how teams like
Anaheim the past few years, or San Jose with Career
worked it out. They had a ton of cap space
and they ate up contracts while trading some guys away
to rebuild this team, and they accumulated a bunch of
draft picks.
Speaker 4: So Sharks.
Speaker 3: Sharks are playing well as well too, and Anaheim seems
to have turned it around as well too, So at
least the Western Conference is starting to shape up. But
we're going to see a lot of those deals. And
someone mentioned I think it was Titans, probably about Mazin Cadri,
Icy Cadre getting moved I think he goes to a
team that needs a little bit of toughness up front
and he provides that. You know, he was like that
with the Leafs, and I thought he was a good
part of the Leafs. But he took those couple penalties
or suspensions against the Boston Bruins in the playoffs and
it ended up costing costing him his opportunity in Toronto.
So with that said, Andrew, let's get back to talking
today's games on Martin Luther King Junior Day. Colorado minus
two eighteen, Washington plus one, seventy six total sits here
at six and a half. Where are you going with
this one?
Speaker 1: Well, Carl, it's funny. The last time you and I spoke,
we were talking about keeping it simple, and there are
a couple people in the chat room that said, yeah, guys,
let's keep it simple as it is Tampa Bay and
Colorado they're both going to get it done. And of
course this was on our last episode of Buck Time
on Friday, and we both know what happened when it
came to that those two favorites went down. We don't
call it freaky Friday for no reason. Those Fridays can
be very weird, and we did see that happen. But
you know, the thing is about this Avalanche team is
that they didn't just lose. I know, there were some
empty net goals, but they were outplayed. They kind of
got their butts kicked a little bit here against the
Nashville Predators. And you know, I kind of like it
when you know a team gets a chance to respond
the next day. But for a team like the Avalanche,
they lost and then they got two days to sit
and stew about it. You know, like these are top players.
These are the best guys you know in the league.
Some of these guys like mccarr and McKennon and Nachus
And you're gonna give them Frida Friday night, Saturday night,
and Sunday night to rest up, you know, get back
in game shape, get in the cold tub, and get
ready for another game. So look, yesterday's board, the favorites
did well. There's some days where you want to look
at a couple of favorites and say, I got to
be on these more. And I'll tell you what. You
look at at this Washington Capitols team right now, they're
starting to become pretty leaky defensively, like a lot of
the numbers that I'm looking at here indicate that the
Avalanche are going to overwhelm them with the volume that
they have. This is a Capitals team allowing nearly thirty
shots on goal per game over their last handful of games,
and I just think that their chances are not nearly
the same. So I'm going to try and find a
way to best play this. Of course, I did recommend
to people on Friday if you want to ever find
plus money on a team like Colorado, you can look
at them to get to four or five goals. And
didn't work on Friday. But maybe this is the time
that we look at that first period, bet Karm, or
we look at the team total or whatever it might be, because
this is going to be a bounce back spot. And
I'm going to go back to you with this, and
bear in mind, I do understand that there were some
empty net goals in that game, But for me, it
actually makes a difference in my handicap for this one
that they didn't look very good, like they kind of
lost by a decent margin. Does it make a difference
to you, Karm that this Avalanche team isn't just off
a you know, three to two win or loss. They're
off a loss by a handful of goals in this one,
and I understand empties, but they got a couple of
days to sit and think about this loss they just
went through.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well they do. But this is one of those ones.
You know we talked about. I think we discussed it
last week that they've had no adversity all year long
because they've been injury free all year long, and so
they got off to that great start, but we saw
with with injuries to days and in Landescog. After Landeskog
went down, they they've lost two games in regulation, one
in ot. It's a shuffling of the lines for this team.
And then you're also missing a big player as well too.
You know, I'm trying to find news on whether Landscog
is going to be back or not, just because one
of the sites doesn't even show him on the injury
list and then another site shows him as out. So
it'll be interesting to see because if he's out, Andrew like,
even though it's not going to make my card, I
would be tempted to take Washington and on this plus
one seventy six going against Colorado home is is extremely tough.
This team has been phenomenal all season long, but they've
shown some kinks in the armor when some guys are
out of the lineup because you've got to rejig those lines.
You've got to move players around, and Landescog is a
big part of it as well too, so plus one
seventy six seams, so tempting If Landeskog's out and I'm
not sure if anyone is looking it up right now
or not. If you find any news, just drop it
in the live chat there. But if he's out Andrew
prior to game time, I might take a flyer on
the Capitals to get a win here. The Capitals have
a very good team as well too, so they play
their own style of hockey, and it's about who enforces
their game on the ice that ends up winning. If
you play an act fast paced game, it's likely going
to be the Colorado Avalanche away with win here. If
it's a somewhat penalty free game and it's a little
slower Washington clogs up that neutral zone, then the Cops
have a chance to win this one. Any thoughts, Yeah, to.
Speaker 1: Me, it's all about the speed. Like if this was
in Washington, maybe then Washington gets the last change. They
get an opportunity to set the matchups that they like.
But I don't fault you for it, because you know what,
they're in bounce back mode as well. This Capital's team
is still very structurally built. I don't fault you for it.
I just I've had a tough time this year, Karen
not trying to bet enough on not betting enough on
these great teams. And although they lost on Friday at home,
I'm gonna try and find a way to jump in
here and get back at them. So we'll see. But yeah,
Giovanni here says Wedgewood or black Wood. I'll tell you what.
Blackwood didn't look great in that game on Friday. So
it's interesting because at one point the clear number one
was Blackwood, of course, than Wedgwood was number two. But
because of the injuries that Blackwood dealt with this year,
Wedgwood kind of became the number one for a good
portion of the year. So I'd be curious to see
what happens with that.
Speaker 2: What.
Speaker 1: So you think it's like over correlates with the ABS
and under with the Capital type of thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. The six and a half is
a dicey one. The halves are always a little dicey
the half. The half goals when it's at six and
a half, obviously five and a half not so much,
but it is. It is a weird one just because
you know, I think Tom Wilson even missed the game,
so I didn't see any status for him as far
as where he would play or not. It shows him
as questionable with lower body injury. He's a guy you
want in there as well too. You can almost make
a case for maybe we just sit this one out
with the Colorado Avalanche and and Washington, but I'm just
tempted to take Washington. Sometimes I'm looking for, like I think,
teams that are live dogs on the card. And I
still have a lot of respect for this Washington team.
I think they're well coached, but like once again, they
need guys like Wilson in the lineup as well too,
So I'll be checking the injury reports. Chuck Pod did
say that Lenda scogs out until February the second, so
we'll see what the abs. And I'd rather have right
now as Andrew. As far as goalies, because Blackwood gave
a lot of rebounds in that game, Wedgewood's much better
with put control so and those in rebound control SO.
And Wedge just having a great season. So I would
probably want to see Wedge in goal tonight if I
was betting Colorado.
Speaker 1: And I couldn't agree more with the point that you
made about, you know, Washington missing a couple of those
key guys. So those key guys do make a big difference.
And I think a lot of the players they've been
missing lately have been the physical players like Wilson, So
getting some of those guys back do make a big difference.
I'll tell you what, Carl, this is one of those
games that regardless of if I had any action on it,
and I think I will be cheering on some props
in this game, just some free plays, and who knows,
maybe I will get to the window because I am
leaning towards the Colorado side. But either way, this would
be one of those games that I would want to watch.
It's gonna be a good one, and I'm curious to
see how the Avalanche respond here. The big thing for
me is at home, and I'll tell you what, I'm
looking at a lot of prop websites right now, and
and Wilson is listed as a prop for for a
lot of these, so we'll see if that means something
to us. But I do think that you know, this
team is a little bit different, so we'll see. I
do agree with you with the premise though the under
correlates with the Washington capitals. But overall, carme, we got
a busy slate here. Again, guys, reminder, there are some
early early games here today. We got what one thirty
seven carm and four oh seven Eastern starts. That Washington
Colorado game, of course, is one of the early ones.
If you guys want to get in on it, don't
forget to get your bets in, get your props in,
your sides and totals, because that is an early starter,
of course. And guys, you know we hate asking for it,
but we we really do appreciate any likes that you
can give us here on the show. Of course, subscribe
to our channel here on wager Talk, and if you
guys are on the go as well, you guys can
catch us on podcast platforms. It takes a little while
for those to get up a little bit later into
the afternoon, where you can find us Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon,
and much much more so. And of course, guys, if
you're interested during the show, if you're a live member
or if you're a live viewer of the show, comment
question any game you want us to touch on. We
might not dive as deep into it, but we'll do
our best to get to them, right Carl.
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, reporting for duty.
Speaker 1: Sir.
Speaker 3: Sorry, it's a monday, man. I'm just I haven't had
my double espresso yet, and good thing Clemens is not
in the chat. I'm going after the show, Andrew pick
up some Canoli's for tomorrow's show, so I will eat
those canolis on the show. Andrew, let's talk the New
York Rangers and the suddenly hot Ana. I'm Ducks once again.
Ducks minus one thirty seven the Rangers plus one thirteen
total sits here at six and a half. I'm gonna
make this one somewhat easy for me, Andrew. I'm gonna
look at the over here. It seems like the sort
of the square opinion on this game. But the the
Ducks are actually playing much better the last three games,
and that's off a nine game losing skid. They've won
three straight and I was looking at the numbers for
them over that like nine game losing stretch they were allowing.
Let me bring this up here to mention to you guys,
the Ducks on that nine game losing skid had allowed
thirty three point four to three expected goals or three
point seven to one per game. Over the last three games,
they've knocked almost a full goal off of the expected
goals against because they're probably playing better defense and Joel
Quinnville has them playing like they were playing earlier in
the season. But I am leaning to the over because
they're thirty one and seventeen, the best record in the
NHL this season with overs. And then yes, we talk
about the Rangers, and this is one of those weird
stats with the Rangers. At home, the Rangers are averaging
two point zero four two point zero four goals per
game on home ice, which is why they have one
of the worst home records in the NHL. On the road,
more than a full goal better three point two to two,
which is respectable goals per game on the road, and
I think they have the third or fourth best road
record in the Eastern Conference. So this team's splits are
a complete reverse of what we would expect them to
be better at home. Worse on road, and they're four
to zero one to the over the last five games.
Andrew the Rangers are so they're starting to score some goals,
this Rangers team. But I think they're also going to
be moving players. You saw Chris Drury come out with
the letter there talking about it. They're not going to
offer a contract. I don't think they're going to re
sign Panerin, So it means the bread Man is going
to go somewhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's gonna go somewhere. I can't believe that message
to the fans like that. That absolutely cracks me up, Karm,
It makes me laugh. I mean, do they act like
they have been some Stanley Cup contending team for the
last five years and they've been to the conference finals
and they've been to the Stanley Cup, Like, hey, we
don't need a letter from you guys to tell us
that you haven't been doing well. Like And the funny
thing is, you know, they did the exact same thing
like I think seven years ago, seven or eight years
ago when Jeff Gordon was their president of hockey operations.
I don't know this team, it's been weird, Like I
think that you know what they realized they were relying
way too much on Igor, and I think a lot
of us really started to realize it because I thought
that Jonathan Quick was one of the best backups in
the whole entire league. If you would have asked me,
I would have had to think about it for a second.
Then I probably would have told you Jonathan Quick is
the best backup in the league. And just based on
the numbers that I'm looking at here, in his last
three games combined, he has an eight to zero five
save percentage like that is just not good. Overall, it's
not good. I lean towards the duck side, carm I
really do. But to your point about the splits, this
is just I mean, you already mentioned it, but eighty
six goals scored in twenty seven games away forty four
goals scored in twenty two games played at home. I mean,
I know there's a five game, five game difference there,
but eighty six goals versus forty four goals is the difference.
And I think you and I would both think that
Anaheim's going to get some goals as well, So maybe
this could be a game that I should have been
looking for my prop segment as well. But I have
no issue looking at the over in this game. I
really don't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's where I'm going to lean to this one.
I just want to answer. It's not a question, but
Kevin Wrights Buffalo ruined a ten team Hail Mary. Done
with them, guys, I think you got that a little wrong.
I think you should put I'm done with ten team
parlays because you have to go ten and oh to
win them. Imagine going ninety percent on your picks and
you win zero dollars, you lose money. Come on, man,
come on, Kevin. If you're in this for entertaining purposes only,
then fire away. Make them fifteen twenty thirty teen parlays.
Speaker 1: But I think only nine to ten that's impressive.
Speaker 3: Nine attack, thank for tend is still good. But to
your point that like Jonathan Quick last year, he was phenomenal.
He was, but he was in the backup role. Sirsterkin
got got most of the starts. Yeah, this this season
he's he's getting he's getting more starts, and obviously now
with Schosterkin injured, he's he's going to be in there.
He's no longer a number one goalie.
Speaker 1: He is.
Speaker 3: He was a very good backup, and now a very
good backup doesn't become a very good starting goalie when
you're a little older, Andrew. So that is one of
the obviously one of the issues that the Rangers are
going to suffer from right now. Adam Fox obviously out
they're going to make some moves this team.
Speaker 4: We'll we'll see.
Speaker 3: I you know, I think there's a lot of teams
that are sellers that have some stuff, so we'll see
if it's a seller's market buyer's market. It all depends
on on who the players are, what the contracts are,
and how much the teams are willing to eat up
the remaining part of that salary, just because there's so
many teams that are at that.
Speaker 4: Threshold.
Speaker 3: So I kind of joked around about the Penerian one,
I think on the X when Elliott Friedman tweeted out
about Paneran likely not coming back to the Rangers, and
I retweeted and said, I wonder who Florida is putting
on the long term injury reserved to make this deal happen.
So we shall we shall see. Someone's going to get injured, Andrew,
who knows someone's got to get injured?
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then all of a sudden, the ball starts rolling,
we start seeing more moves made and who knows. I
like this comment here from Troup from Lando says that
true but anytime goal plus eight hundred pizza money, five
shots on goal last time out, former team playing the
true but tonight. I think that's the way to go.
If you're going to do that, you got to do
pizza money. But you got to do the shots on
goal and then sprinkle on the goal because if he's
got five shots on goal, maybe it's worth looking at.
Maybe it's worth looking at.
Speaker 3: Yeah, pizza money is right. You can take flyers on
those ten teamers with pizza money.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.
Speaker 3: If you're in entertainment, I get it. You win one
or the thought of winning one. It's like, hey, I
just turned twenty dollars into like twenty five hundred. But
there's a reason why sports celebrities are out there pushing
for some of these global books, the same game parlays
and the multi league parlays, is because most of them lose.
The books make a ton of money off of them.
It's kind of like people wi't understand that the in
Vegas the number one revenue source for casinos is penny slots.
It brings in billions of dollars for them because people
are like, Oh, I'm gonna play the penny slots. It
won't cost me much. Until you find out you need
like to bet like eight hundred and eighty credits, which
is eight dollars and eighty cents in order to be
eligible to win one of those major jackpots or what
have you, Andrews. So it is one thing sucks him
in and the other one sucks the money out of them.
So that's that's how it is.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you.
Speaker 3: Every every month, i think, or every quarter they report,
like New Jersey, when New Jersey reports how much money
they're making in gambling, penny slots is right there. It's
like at the top, and it's just it morphs everything else.
They don't make money sports betting, They don't make money
on table games like they make on penny slots. But
why are we talking penny slots? Only Buffalo is on
the part of the week is stay Buffalo.
Speaker 1: But with that said, someone asked about the Buffalo game,
and just over, this Buffalo team is so hot, man,
this Buffalo team is red hot right now. But at
the same time, we'll see what happens moving forward.
Speaker 3: When I cover that right now with same game Party
number one, the same game Pod number one, and then
you can do the same game parlay, and then I
will finish it off with Pod number two. So okay,
let's do this all right, Let's get onto the This
is the early game, guys, Pod number one. I am
taking the Carolina Hurricanes in regulation. That's why the price
is minus one forty in regulation. I am taking them
Sabers off a loss to Minnesota. They've been playing unbelievable
hockey at some point. This is the start of a
five game road trip, and a very tough five game
road trip for them, where they've also got to play Nashville,
the Islanders, Montreal. I think the Leafs as well too.
And obviously, starting in Carolina tonight, Carolina six to one
and one. Their last eight game teams on a four
and oh run at home, and the last thirteen meetings
in Carolina, there's only been one team that has come
up with a victory, and that is the Carolina Hurricanes
thirteen and oh run at home against the Buffalo Sabers.
Speaker 1: That is your pod play, and I got a comment
from Copek. I'm not a hater. I'm not a hater,
I promise you. I actually have been cheering for them
because a player on the team is from my neck
of the woods sort of, so I've been rooting for them.
But I just I think it's kind of sad they
went on that crazy run and then they're barely in
a playoff spot. That's how you know you buried yourself
in October if you're fifteen and two and so I'm
not waiting for their demise, but you know, it's kind
of like Detroit. If you want to call me a
hater of any team right now, just call me a
hater of Detroit because I've been waiting for them to
lose all year long and they just haven't. So maybe
they're finally just good.
Speaker 3: That's That's the wrong reason to hate a team, Andrew,
is because they keep winning.
Speaker 4: You know, I get it.
Speaker 3: You're a Montreal fan and you want every team in
the Eastern Conference to play miserably so you guys can
win the sort of the number one seed there or
what have you. But you look at the standings right now,
and I'm having a looking at him right now. I
wish i'd put together standings. The Detroit Red Wings fresh
off a win yesterday, it was it yesterday against James Rymer.
How bad is it that in Ottawa that fans in
Ottawa holding signs up we want Rhymer, Put in Rhymer.
But the guy who hasn't played a game yet is
essentially out of retirement. And there he is. But the
Detroit Red Wings sixty four points tied with the Tampa
Bay Lightning in Carolina for first place in the Eastern Conference.
Montreal Canadians only three points back. And and the suddenly
resurgent Boston Bruins. Could they make a deal because they
are running good for the playoffs? Can they bring Oh
my god, imagine making a deal and bringing panerin to Boston.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear that.
Speaker 3: The bread man, the breadman and pasta together, bred and pasta.
Whatevery Italian loves bread and pasta. Make it happen.
Speaker 1: Come on, man, those are the two things that I'm
giving up for the month of January, that bred and pasta.
So see how long that lasts. We'll see how long
that lasts. On the topic of that, I know this
is my Montreal Canadians thirty second rant here, but that
comeback was unbelievable five' three. Down BUT i gotta Say
Jake sanderson's comments after the game like that is that
is the most throwing your goalie under the BUS i
have seen in a, long, long long, time LIKE I
i have not. Seen, Look i'm Shaw canadians Had montambeau
not playing, well Had dobish not playing well, earlier and
the players were all respectful on the. Media Jake sanderson
pretty much said to the media, Afterwards, hey it would
have been nice to get more than ten or eleven
saves from our, goalie like, man and then the next
day he's on the ice again for the overtime. Loss it's, like,
dude you're a. Defenceman your goalie sucks right, now but
you're also a. DEFENSEMAN i thought that was pretty. Crazy
but then one thing he, said AND i thought this
was ai because the hab fans filled up the arena In.
Ottawa he, Said i'm starting to get used to feeling
like it's a road, game even at my own home,
arena which is pretty shitty to. Hear. CARL i told
you last week on the show THAT i want to
start doing this, more And i'm gonna start doing this
as well as doing the. Parlays i'll try and get
some graphics, together But i'm gonna just let people know
people that players that are on hot, streaks whether it's
goals or assists or points or whatever it might. Be
so here are a couple names for you guys BEFORE
i put my parlay up on the. Screen Alex tuck
has a goal in four of his last five games
versus The Carolina, hurricanes and that price is plus two.
Forty Mark scheifeley has a goal in three of his
last four games against The. Blackhawks that price is plus
one sixty. Five and then here are a couple guys
that are on some hot streaks right. Now so The
benezette has a goal in four of his last five
games at plus one. Eighty Brock nelson has a goal
in four of his last five games at plus one.
Eighty Mark stone From vegas has a goal in four
of his last five games at plus one point. Fifty
And Jonathan taze From winnipeg has a goal in four
of his last five games at plus three point. Fifty
so those are a couple of guys that are hot
right now as far as their goal, scoring either in
the last five games or in their head to head
matchups and player. PROPS i love the head to head matchups,
stuff BUT i also want to let you guys know
who's hot right. Now now here there is my parlay for.
Today we've got two parlays of two legs, each and
you put them together and we get to plus five. Hundred.
Here the odds were changing AS i was doing. This
i'll make sure you guys get the best prices he possibly.
Can But winnipeg And chicago Gave valardi one, Point Jonathan
tay's one, point those to our line, mates and then
we Have Washington, Capitals Colorado, Avalanche cale mccarr won, assist
And Martin nachus one. ASSISTS i think that the assists
market is a really good way to get, around you,
know the bad prices on player points or even player,
shots or even high money line, prices because if you
expect a high number of goals from a certain team
and a bounce Back colorado just lost seven to, three
then there's gonna be a lot of puck, movement a
lot of. Goals AND i think that especially with the power.
Play you, know If cale mccarr touches, it And na touches.
It then McKinnon scores a. Goal there you, go you
catch that. Ticket so these two guys are definitely slept
on as far as their assist prop is. Concerned and
put all these, together we we get plus five. Hundred
but Tomorrow i'll come ready again with some guys that
are playing pretty well right, now and we'll try and
get you guys some head to head trends and things like.
That so, look these are some picks THAT i make
try and put a couple two teamers, together BUT i
also want you guys to be up to date on
who the hot players are right, now who's doing well
goal scoring, wise and all that good.
Speaker 4: STUFF i love, It.
Speaker 3: ANDREW i think that's the way you got to do.
It let them know about a bunch of guys on hot,
streaks which is great because, again you, KNOW i mean
the same. Game parly segment is something that you guys
asked for during the. Offseason you, know WHEN i put
some tweets, up you guys wanted some of this stuff
because some of you guys are just recreational, betters and
which is perfectly, fine and whether you're playing, two, five, ten,
fifteen twenty, dollars what have. You you can take your
shots on some of these and hope that some, hit
but the single game is sort of the way to,
GO i always.
Speaker 4: Say.
Speaker 3: So with that, Said, Andrew i've got a twenty game,
PARLAY i want to read out to.
Speaker 4: You, No i'm just.
Speaker 3: Kidding, no, parlay, guys Here's pod number. Two it is
a six o'clock game as well. Too i'm taking the
over in The Florida panthers game over six and a
half minus one fifteen against The San Jose. SHARKS i
love the way The Santjose sharks team is, playing and
even though they've gone under in two straight, games they
had nine straight overs prior to, that they were on
a tremendous. Run And florida scoring some goals as well,
too especially on home. Ice so you, know with that,
SAID i am going to go with the over in
this game and hope that the early start time brings
us some goals in this. ONE i want to get some.
Winner there's just lock up a couple of winners and
then get ready to watch the nighttime action and The
College Football championship game as well. Too so your pod
play is Pod Play number two is The Florida Panthers
San Jose sharks over six and.
Speaker 4: A half minus one point.
Speaker 3: Fifteen The nelkovic And rabovsky are the confirmed goalies in this,
one And i'm perfectly fine with, That.
Speaker 1: KARMEN i don't know what's going on, today. Man two
plays of the. Day we're getting treated here on puck
time on A, monday and maybe it's because there is
so many games on A. MONDAY i love when THE
nhl throws us off a little bit, here changing the schedule.
Up and what's funny is the next couple of, days
we're going to have some days where there actually are
just a couple of days. There this comment here From roberts,
says missing the, segment who'd bet on and who to?
Fade the buy and? Sell and you, Know, car maybe
this could be something that me and you just do
together On. Mondays we can just we don't need to
spend too much time on. It we can bring a
team or two to look at and it can be
a fun segment to do. Together so maybe something to
look at moving. Forward but we both like doing it
and we'll try and mention it for you. Guys more and,
more As karen talked about during his pod, segment like
there's sometimes will be teams, that, hey this is the
Team i'm looking to bet on, more this is the Team
i'm looking to bet against more and things like. That
AND i will tell you That carolina one The carmine head.
There carolina had a couple of bad outings in a,
row and THEN i was happy to cash a five
percent play On Friday night team total over three and a.
HALF i turned THE tv off when it was at.
FOUR i was like so. Excited i'm, like all, right,
cool we're. Good and THEN i look at it, Again
carl when it was nine. Goals and you, know teams are,
emotional teams are. Streaky sometimes when a team gets a
big win like, that then they're about to go on a.
Run and we'll see with Your Buffalo, sabers because you know,
what MAYBE i was being a bit of a hater on,
them but if you didn't get in on the fifteen
and two, run it's probably too late to get in
on it.
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, YEAH i think, So. ANDREW i think this
stretch that they have coming up is a tough. One
it's gonna test the metal of this, Team and it's
just Because i'm not entirely convinced That, Uko, Peca, lukenin
And Colton ellis are like prime number one. Goalies Colton
Ellis is definitely isn't he's they gotta just nurse him.
Along but Even, UKO i just don't know with. Him
so at some point the regression is going to hit
The Buffalo. Sabers maybe it starts. TODAY i will say, This,
andrew before we get into the quick little promo. Thing
it's just this is a weird thing to. Say but you,
KNOW i, mean LIKE i try and answer questions that
people send, me like dms or what have, you the
people THAT i follow and my, clients AND i always.
Do every once in a, while you get like some
guy who's just like On. INSTAGRAM i will mention the
name of this, person but this is the same GUY
i think who sent me the message SAYING i hope
you get, Cancer like what's wrong with?
Speaker 4: You?
Speaker 3: Matt he sends me one this weekend AND i had
to block him and report, him but it just he
just put in some some terrible stupid comment in MY.
Dms So i'm going to end, This andrew and send
it to you for promos and Then i'll do. Mine
i'll end it with that because IT'S Mlk Junior day
and this is a perfect quote for this. Guy darkness
cannot cannot drive out. Darkness only light can do. That
and that's a quote FROM, Mlk and maybe that guy
should take that quote and apply it to his.
Speaker 4: Life, andrew what do you got to?
Speaker 1: Promote, Yeah, calm you don't deserve any of, that, man
you don't deserve any of. That and you know, what
there's a lot of darkness but out of. Brightness and
we got a lot of nice guys here in the
live chat right, now and you, know we try and you,
know really really take all the stuff that you guys
say and all the positive guys in, here because, yeah
you guys have be shocked with some of the stuff
that we. Hear And carmon definitely does not deserve any
messages like that on any. Platform that's for. Sure nobody.
Speaker 3: Does, nobody nobody. Deserves nobody. Does it's it's not limited to.
Me you, don't the guys in the chat. Don't, nobody
nobody should ever be subject to any of that. Stuff
there's like too much hate that goes.
Speaker 4: On and this is why we are where we.
Speaker 3: Are but with that, Said, andrew dude, is, uh it
feels like frozen frenzy today because the games are like
