Speaker 1: It's a big Thursday slate in the NHL tonight and
we are here to break it down for you on
Puck Time wager Talk TV. Thanks for being here as always, guys,
Andrew and Carmine with you. And yes, the gloves are off,
the jerseys are on. We're gonna talk Montreal Canadians and
Buffalo Savers. Look forward to a great, great show. Hope
you guys had a winning night. Quick recap for me.
We did drop the play last night in tough, tough fashion.
We had a regulation play on Utah. They win that
one five to four in overtime, so it is graded
as a loss. Look, I couldn't bear to deal with
the minus one seventy guys and with the five and
a half total, I didn't really want to touch the
team total, so I went the regulation route and you
know what happened. But we're still seeing the board pretty well.
Utah gets the job done. We gave out some winners
on the board yesterday. We actually have a five percent
play going tonight in the NHL, so super excited about
it's still six and one run we move on to today.
But Carl, I think overall we did give out some
winners on the board yesterday on puck time.
Speaker 2: How are you doing I'm doing good.
Speaker 3: I'm wearing a team the jersey.
Speaker 4: You know, I refuse to buy another jersey other than
this one here. It's just because whenever you get a
player name on it, then the guy gets traded. It's
like I buy a jersey, the guy gets traded, I
buy a Bill's jersey. Back in the day, Fitzpatrick, he gets,
he plays a couple of years, and then he's.
Speaker 3: Gone by this one, Jack Eichel.
Speaker 4: He goes on injury reserve and then they eventually ship
him out to the Vegas Golden Knights where he wins a.
Speaker 3: Stanley Cup. So you know, with that said.
Speaker 2: Didn't take long either.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, it's just it's it's nuts. Man.
Speaker 4: John Gibbs, Sorry, yeah, John Gibson man seventeen and two now,
his last nineteen starts. Both goalies were good in that
Detroit Detroit Toronto game. I think Joseph Wall's only lost
one game at home. I think it was something like
seven to one and one going into that one at home.
Played phenomenal in that game as well too, But it
came down to, dude, it's a coin flip games go
to overtime. It is a coin flip. Yeah, in the like.
Speaker 1: The under man, I said, you know, Gibson's playing well,
Wolves playing well. Yeah, even though the Leaves are scoring
right now, Man, I think that that under was a
good play. Who would have thought Gibson would carry the
load that much? Man, he's been great.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's and it's supposed to be Cam Talbot
in goal tonight against sorry, against Minnesota, so who knows
what happens with that game. We're not actually going to
talk about that one. We're going to talk Vegas, Boston.
We're going to talk obviously Buffalo and Montreal, which is
why we're wearing the jerseys. We're going to finish it
off with Florida and Winnipeg in the same game. Parlay
a pod. The Islanders disappointed us on the pod yesterday,
Andrew Man, it was that first period. You know, they
got off to the one nothing lead, they had a
two man power play, and like, if they go up
two goals in this game, the way that the stalin
which the Isiters play normally a two goal lead is good,
couldn't score and then the kracking get it two man
power play and they score, and I think it was
pretty much all downhill from from there in that game.
But we're back at it. We're kind of zigging and zagging.
Win one, lose one, win one, lose one, which means
we're due to win one today. So we'll see if
we can get that.
Speaker 3: Going, Andrew.
Speaker 4: But with that said, we listened to what you guys said,
and Andrew, I'm going to bring you up on the
screen there. You guys want some game graphics, So here
you go. You get the lines and the games. Vegas
Golden Knights Andrew minus one thirty five Boston plus one
fifteen total sits here at six Bruins off of six
to two loss to the Dallas Stars, which snapped a
streak for them, and the Vegas Golden Knights off a
two to one home lost to the Flyers which snapped
their win streak, and they hit the road now with
a game in Toronto tomorrow, the return of Mitch Marner
to Never Never Land. Where are you going with this one?
Speaker 2: Yes, And I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: Mitch Marner is very happy that it's going to be
a back to back scenario for the Vegas Golden Knights
because he won't have to deal with the media, so
it's probably a happy accident for him. But you know
what's funny is both times that Vegas is going to
be playing against Toronto, they're going to be on second
half of back to back. They run a back to
back last week and it was a home game. Now
it's going to be a back to back for them
again and it's going to be a road game. So
I'm tired of Leaf fans complaining about their schedule. Everybody's
dealing with bad schedules this season, So we'll just throw
that out there. But you know what, in this one here,
I like the Vegas Golden Knights. I do think Vegas
gets the job done. You know, based on some of
the numbers that I have here, this is an overall
a team that is just creating so many chants right now.
They're coming off a game where they could not get
the job done. They could not find their scoring against
the Philadelphia Flyers. But when it comes down to it,
the high danger chances are really there for the Vegas
Golden Knights, but more so Boston's defense. They're just bleeding
quality chances, giving up a ton of chances, averaging ten
point two high danger chances against per game in their
last ten games, and overall this is a defensive group
I think that's given up far too much.
Speaker 2: But also when I.
Speaker 1: Look at this Golden Knights team, you know, I've been
loving looking at the road versus home splits lately. At
home for the Vegas Golden Knights, they've given up seventy
nine goals. On the road, they've given up sixty three goals. Usually,
you're supposed to be a better defensive team, karm when
you play at home. But for whatever reason, for whatever
style of play, this Vegas Golden Knights team is getting
into when they're on the road, they have been much
better defensively. I look towards team total under two and
a half goals plus one fifteen for the Boston Bruins,
and I do lean, of course, towards the Vegas Golden Knights.
Speaker 2: On the money line, What do you think about this one?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Andrew, this is It's one of those
ones where I'm hoping Vegas gets off to a good
start in that first period of this game. I kind
of like the first period money line with the Knights
in this one. Listen, the Bruins give them credit. They've
they've had a good season. But in looking over this
past weekend in charting some of these teams, man, they've
had some That win streak was fashioned on the back
of some really bad teams, Teams like Calgary, the Seattle Kraken,
who they split two games with, Vancouver, just a lot
of bad team Chicago. And when I say bad teams
that we don't expect to be in the playoffs. And
this is why the Bruins have done as well as
they have. But man, their schedule is about to get
a lot tougher. It starts tonight with a Night's team
off of a loss, and you know, even the market
knows that this is a tough runouts for the rest
of the year for the Boston Bruins. You look at
the Bruins to make the playoffs or miss the playoffs,
they're like plus two to eighty to make the playoffs,
minus three p fifty to miss the playoffs. And it's
a team coming off of what a six game win
streak I think it is there, or a seven game
win streak it is. I think they've they've overachieved Andrew
for the lineup that they have through and through from
you know, they have a couple of good lines, but
that's that's not enough to sustain you the rest of
the way when we get into sort of the dog
days of this NHL season. So does it start tonight?
Who knows, We're gonna find out. But who's the better
team The Vegas Golden Knights are. Who has a homeice advantage?
The Bruins do, But the Vegas Golden Knights are favored
here in this one, and rightfully so, so I'm gonna
take them in the first period, the Vegas Golden Knights.
This is one of those ones where I would even
be tempted because you're gonna get some nice plus money
on taking the Vegas Golden Knights on the puck line
as well too, because you're gonna get some decent plus
money on this team. So, off that loss against Philadelphia
and you look at they lost to one of home
to Philadelphia. You look at the analytics of that game,
Vegas had more expected XG. They had twice as many
high danger chances shots on goal, which isn't really a
big metric and shouldn't really be used for handicapman, but
I'll mention it as one of the three that they
held to their advantage at the end of the game.
Just the final score was two to one, so it
was one of those games that could have gone either way.
The night's lost. But now they hit the road, and
you know, with the game in Toronto, I don't see
it as a flat spot because the Vegas Golden Knights
know that they are in a race with the other teams,
not only for the Pacific but in seeding in the
Western Conference. I don't think they're going to take a
night off this team. So we'll see no listed goalies
yet Andrew for this one, I think it's a Kira
Schmid tonight and probably Aiding Hill tomorrow. But it wouldn't
surprise me if they flipped those two around. We'll know
more after the morning skate when we see who's in
the starter's creased. But yeah, give me the give me
the night's first period and the puck line.
Speaker 2: The puck line as well.
Speaker 1: What's the price you're seeing on that puck line, karm
just trying to find out what that number is.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you right now, with the prices on that,
you are getting plus one eighty two plus one eighty
two on the puck line.
Speaker 3: Andrew.
Speaker 4: If you throw a nice little pizza slice on there,
you can make some money. Plus one eighty two be.
Speaker 2: A good chance for them.
Speaker 1: Minus one the minus one play right, yeah, play a
little bit of money line, little bit of puck.
Speaker 2: Line, could play a little bit of both.
Speaker 3: It absolutely it could. Listen.
Speaker 4: I just think they're playing extremely well right now. The
Vegas Golden Knights. I think they're Uh, they're definitely and
they have been for a while a play on team.
It's just you have to find ways to play on them,
just normally because at home they're going to be in
that minus one seventy range. On the road, this is
these are the numbers you're going to get. One thirty
five is not a bad price to be laying in
in Boston. And then if you look at it, uh,
you know, ahead of tomorrow's game, and I'm just looking
to see if I see a line now the Vegas
Golden Knights. The opener, just the open um seeing at
FanDuel right now is the Vegas Golden Knights are minus
one thirteen. The leaves your minus one oh seven. So
basically a coin flip. Tomorrow night in Toronto, in the
Return of Mitch Marner. The media is going to be there,
the fans, hopefully the I'm gonna say it man, Hopefully
the fans aren't dicks and give Marner the respect. Listen,
it didn't work out from Toronto. He went somewhere else,
but at the very least, this is a guy who
put up one hundred point seasons for them. You can't
put the weight of playoff losses, series losses on one
man's shoulder. You put it on a team. You win
as a team, you loses a team. So getting on
Mitch Marner is we'll see the true face of Leaf
fans tomorrow. If they boo him when he's on the.
Speaker 1: Ice, well I think I'll put that number at minus
five hundred. That's a bankroll building play right there. That's
gonna happen. The big thing for me is that during
the tribute they give him. They better show class during
the tribute. Show class during the tribute, clap for him,
and then you can boo him the rest of the game.
You got to show class during the tribute. You don't
think that guy wanted to be a Maple Leaf for
life and wanted to bring them success. He was from Toronto,
you know, I think he wanted that. But anyway, that's
games tomorrow. We don't need to talk so much more
about that. Arm and I we both like Vegas tonight.
We both like the Vegas Golden Knights. It's a pretty
good number and they're in bounce back mode. Karma after
a flat effort against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and yeah, I don't think it was a flat effort.
I just think that you you know, they ran into
a hot goalie, that the shots on goal were both
teams under thirty, so it wasn't one of those ones
in which a team is out shooting, like if you
look at or the shots on goal in the Anaheim
game yesterday. I think it was something that was close
to like fifty or something for the Avalanche before they
find they finally got that game to ot. I'm just
gonna look it up real quick if you give me
a second. But Andrew, I don't just look at what
a player does on the ice. I look at what
a player does off the ice, and maybe all the
people that want to Boom who made a trip to
Vegas and boot him there, maybe they should do a
little bit of charity work like Mitch Marner does in
his foundation. Everyone seems to think, oh, these guys make
a lot of money, they should be donating to charity. No,
that's not the way it works, man, It has never
been the way it works. But he has done so
much for the Toronto community that he doesn't deserve what
could be wrought out of tomorrow. But we're going to
discuss that tomorrow. Forty one to seventeen shots on golf
for Colorado yesterday in a two to one loss to
the Ducks in Colorado. So that little bit of that
injury bug Andrew in Colorado is bringing him back down
to earth.
Speaker 2: But I got a graphic force to bring up.
Speaker 1: I got for you to bring remind you of this
graphic the last time these two teams played each other,
they deserve to win.
Speaker 3: Meter.
Speaker 1: Everybody's favorite meter to look at when the team I.
Speaker 4: Have an important question for you, like sill having a
serious like an important question for you when you look
at like your logo, like who created that logo? It
looks like a toilet seat to me, Like.
Speaker 2: Listen, look at it.
Speaker 1: You can have whatever logo you want when you're leading
the league and championships.
Speaker 4: That's how we're no disrespect. But it does look like
one with the little h there or whatever. But uh,
with that said, yes that's a that's a very good one,
but let's get the graphic under that means a lot more.
Speaker 2: Andrew nineteen, I'm just saying, I'm just saying, all.
Speaker 4: Right, well, you guys are favored, so like that means
you're supposed to win. Minus one twenty five on the
Montreal Canadians plus one oh five on the Buffalo Sabers
six and a half is a total. How you playing
this one?
Speaker 1: Well, I think the big thing here is you look
at the last game, five to three final January fifteenth,
wasn't too long. This is once it wasn't too long ago.
This is one of those type of games here where
you can classify it as rapid revenge, but it's also
the rapid revenge spot for home versus road, and that
to me is it makes a difference. The Sabers got
the best of the Canadians at home. Now it's time
for the Montreal Canadians to get the best of them
when they're on home ice.
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna go a little contraying with the total here.
Speaker 1: Carm I like the under six and a half here,
you've got a highest scoring Montreal Canadians team. It's been
a long time since they've been top five in the
league in scoring, but there's been certain spots where defense
had showed up and they've had to play a good
defensive game. Last game they played against Minnesota, Marty Saint
Luis said it was one of their best five on
five games they've played. I think defense will be very
important to them in this one. I do lean towards
under six and a half. But the big thing for them,
I think is that they could not win a face
off in Buffalo. Now that they get to be in Montreal,
I feel like they're gonna be able to control possession more.
They're gonna get the last change more, get their their
guys out there, like Philip.
Speaker 2: To know that they want out there.
Speaker 1: Knicks's Yuki Jake Evans their top face off guys, so
that should help them. Could help their offense, but it
can also help their defense within the the zone, draws
and all that stuff. So I do lean towards under
six and a half, but I gotta say this, this
Buffalo Sabers team is probably still at this point the
hottest team in hockey, Like KRM. They have not gone
away in the last two months. You guys went on
and I said, you guys a ten game winning streak
and hasn't really looked back since one loss here or there.
Speaker 2: A big part of that, Yes, you were a big
part of that. You were betting on them, you were contributing.
So I look at this team. I respect how hot
they've played.
Speaker 1: And if we look at odds logic, the opening number
here was minus one thirty seven and it's now come down.
Buffalo has been taking money. You know, some places are
showing one twenty, some places are showing one fifteen.
Speaker 2: But I kind of lean towards the under.
Speaker 1: We got a lot of guys in the chat talking
about the Montreal penalty kill struggling, which doesn't really work.
But I do like the rapid revenge spot at home,
but I kind of leaned towards the under here. A
couple guys in here talking about Jonathan talking about Josh
don Tonight, Timothy talking about.
Speaker 2: The bad penalty kill.
Speaker 1: A lot of the guys talking about taking the over here,
Don point Josh doing off that contract.
Speaker 2: Caren, what do you think overall here?
Speaker 1: I mean the rapid revenge spot do you care that
these teams played on January fifteenth.
Speaker 3: Not at all.
Speaker 4: These teams see each other frequently, and Montreal as held over.
It seems a Buffalo in the last little while this
is the number number doesn't make sense to me. I thought,
even as well as Buffalo's playing at Montreal, they play
with a lot of pep at home and play a
faster paced game, that they probably would be about ten
to fifteen cents higher, which is close to the opener.
I want to see who the starting goalie is for
the Buffalo Sabers. If it's Alex Lyon, who had a solid,
solid game in Nashville last time out coming off of
the injury reserve, I'm taking the Sabers at plus money
in this one. Andrew He's won eight straight games for
the Sabers, eight straight games, and not a lot of
them were during that run. His goals against average during
that span two thirty two, his save percentage during that
span nine to eighteen. If they were going to move
a goalie, and I'm not saying they're going to move
Alex Lyon, but they're not going to move Colton Ellis
because he's supposed to be one of their goalies in
the future. If they're going to move a goalie, some
strong performances from Alex Lyon could mean that Uko Peca
Lucannin could be on the way out of Buffalo if
a team is willing to pick up his contract and
give the Sabers something in return. Uh, this comes down
to goaltending for me. The Sabers are playing extremely well
right now. You know the game in Nashville. They didn't
even need the power play in that game. They scored
five goals in that game. Four of them came five
on five. The other goal came into an empty net.
Sabers are playing some very good hockey right now. Andrew,
we're coming into Montreal. We're going to eat your Montreal bagels,
We're gonna eat your Montreal smoke meat, We're going to
eat your proutine, and we're gonna leave with two points
Buffalo Sabers plus one oh five. With the cavet that
Alex Lyon needs to be the goalie tonight, how do
you feel about that?
Speaker 1: If your team is so good, you shouldn't have to
list the goaltender. You shouldn't You shouldn't have to worry
about the goaltender here and that was important part, really
important wins in a row, five wins.
Speaker 4: And wanting goal Who do you want in goal? If
I'll tell you and I'll give you a prime ex
If last night's goaltender in Detroit was Cam Talbot and
not John Gibson, Detroit loses that game.
Speaker 3: So we matter.
Speaker 1: Goalies matter, hashtag goalies matter?
Speaker 2: They do they do? Uh, you know it's tough looking
at this game.
Speaker 1: You got some uh, some guys talking about the first
period over and I know Jonathan's always got the stats.
I saw him in here earlier with this one Buffalo
Montreal first period over Buffalo eight and one run, Montreal
eight and three run. And that's kind of why I
have a tough time taking any unders when it involves
these teams. It's just because of the first periods. Like
I find with the Montreal Canadians, they can slow down
the game a little bit later in the game, but
those first periods always seem to have goals in that one.
Look forward to it though, Karen should be a good one,
should be a good one. Let's make a little side bet.
I'll make a little side bet with you. If the
havebs win, then you have to wear your Sabers jersey
on the show again tomorrow or a Habs jersey.
Speaker 4: And I gave away the Habs jersey to Don Buster
and if.
Speaker 1: My hat if if the Sabers win, then I'll have
to Actually, no, here's the deal. Here's the deal. If
the Sabers win, how crazy can we go with this?
For the next five shows? You have to I have
to wear a Habs jersey for the next five shows.
Speaker 2: You have to wear a Sabers jersey. How about that?
P Well, I don't know. I don't really want to
wear my jersey every day.
Speaker 4: Okay, loser shaves his head. Let's uh. With that said, Andrew, yeah,
that one seems unfair as well too. But with that said,
we do have another game to discuss, and then we
can answer some questions in the chat. It is the
Florida Panthers and the Winnipeg Jets. The kind of resurgent
Winnipeg Jets at least they've won a few games before
dropping the loss I think last time out. But Florida
minus one p fifteen Winnipeg minus one oh five total
sits here at five and a half. Juice to the
over right now at minus one thirty where are you
going with this one?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think right now this is a this is
a big difference in goal. It's kind of shocking to
say this, but Bobrovsky has not looked like himself right now.
He's the projected goaltender looking at it right now. Hellabuck
last handful of games nine to thirty four save percentage,
Butbrovski last couple of games for him eight twenty four
save percentage. Look, Florida's got really really good possession numbers
and goal scoring chances numbers. But right now, I think
this Winnipeg team is the team to play. I think
this number is a bit fishy right now. I think
this Winnipeg team is to play to look for tonight.
But I also think if you're going to look for anything,
what you can look for potentially is goals early on
for Winnipeg. Specifically, Florida has not been good defensively in
the first period, but especially Bobrovsky has not been good
early on in games. So maybe a Winnipeg first period
money line is potentially the way that I would go here, Karen.
But you said it, goalies matter, and the thing is
with goalie numbers, we don't necessarily want to just look
towards season long numbers. We want to look towards you know,
last couple games, last five starts and all that good stuff. Well,
right now Lebrovski has been the inferior goalie and Hellibuck
was struggling earlier, but now Hellibuck is playing much better,
so I do lean towards that side. The total is
five and a half, and Ralph Michaels did give us
that great stat about how awesome five and a half's
have been towards the over. And if you want a
good example, just look at my four percent play yesterday
that had nine goals in it. With the five and
a half total, wouldn't talk anybody off the over in
this game, Matthew could Chuck is back to help the
offense out Winnipeg starting to find their offense a bit more.
I know hella Buck's playing well, but if Lebraski is
not playing the way he usually plays, that could lead
towards an over.
Speaker 2: Here, Karen, what does this game look like for you?
Speaker 4: It looks to me like I think by even though
it's a coin flip essentially, it looks to me like
Andrew one of those ones where I want to be
contrarian because everyone is like Matthew Chuck's back. Florida Panthers
are playing well, Andrew. The more I look at the
Florida Panthers, the more I think that, quite possibly this
team could miss the playoffs. I have been saying all
season long that the Florida Panthers are going to be
fine and they're gonna make the playoffs. Nobody seems to
be losing in that Eastern Conference, so it is a
really weird thing you look at it. Florida is thirteenth
right now. They're fifty three points, but they're five back
of the Boston Bruins, who I think are gonna fall off.
But the Leafs are playing better. Leafs are gonna start
picking up some wins. I hate to even say the
Devils are playing better wins in for their last five
fifty four points. Florida needs a run, they need a streak.
They have a minus fourteen goals goal differential. That's not
the Florida team that we're used to, a team that
normally plays extremely well.
Speaker 3: You can talk about the.
Speaker 4: Fact that Yeah, Barkov and Matthew to Chuck have missed
most of the season, but it's the goal differential. They've
allowed one hundred and sixty goals this season. Those guys
don't play defense. They're good back checking forwards, but they
don't play defense. You look at Florida's schedule the rest
of the way, they're gonna play some hot teams. They're
gonna have to put together a streak. Winnipeg has kind
of owned Florida the last few years. If they won
five of the last six meetings against Florida, and those
were some healthy, good Florida teams.
Speaker 3: So you look at.
Speaker 4: Winnipeg, three wins in their last five, one rig one
ot loss and then a two nothing shutout to the
Chicago Blackhawks. At least they're picking up some points and
showing some signs of light. That little heartbeat monitor is
blipping again with them.
Speaker 3: Are they back?
Speaker 4: I don't think they're back, but I think at home
and if they have their number one goalie who I
expect to be in goal tonight and Hella Buck, I
think they get the win at a very low price
minus one oh five against the Florida Panthers.
Speaker 1: Mister contrarian, I get it, and you know I don't
even I don't even know if it's contrarian, Andrew, because
it's like minus one oh five.
Speaker 4: It's if it was one of those ones where Florida
minus one fifty Winnipeg plus one thirty five. That seems
more like a contrarian play, like yes, yes, a coin flip.
I get some of the guys saying Panthers aren't missing
the playoffs. I thought the same thing about the New
York Rangers last year. They're gonna put it together, don't worry,
They're gonna make the playoffs, and they didn't. There's going
to be in the Eastern Conference some good teams at
the end of the season who are on the outside
looking in. So you look at the teams that are
below right now Andrew that playoff line, and I think
there's at least what for them. They made the playoffs
last year, if I'm correct.
Speaker 1: So somebody commented earlier Buffalo Toronto, Florida, who misses and
who makes?
Speaker 4: It's I keep waiting for the ceiling to fall into
the Buffalo Sabers. But if you watch their games, they're
always competing, They're always they're always playing well. You know
they lose that they lose an ot game at home
against the Minnesota wild Then they lose a two to
one game in Carolina against Carolina, those are their two losses.
You know, they've picked up what seven of possible ten
points in their last five games, and both games were
one goal losses. The team is playing well, they have
a plus goal differential. But you look at the teams
that made the playoffs last year who are not in
the playoffs right now. You have the Toronto Maple Leafs,
you have the Washington Capitals, you have the Florida Panthers.
Did the Ottawa Senators make the playoffs last season?
Speaker 2: They did? It was Toronto versus Ottawa first round.
Speaker 1: And both wildcard teams last year were from the Atlantic Division.
And now this year there's a lot better teams than
the Metropolitan Division, which I think might make things a
bit different.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's gonna be interesting, to say the least.
And you know, after the post Olympic break is going
to be tough. Here's the thing with Florida and Andrew.
One more thing to add the also this sorry, the
the Olympic break is going to afford a lot of
these teams and some goalies the opportunity to get a
couple weeks of rest, two two and a half weeks
of rest or what have you? Right, Florida Panthers have
nine players, nine of their stars, going to the Olympics
to play. There is no rest for those guys, and
then they have to come back and resume the rest
of the season in which they have to make a
playoff push. That is gonna be tough on the team.
Nine guys from that team are playing in the Olympics.
Speaker 3: No rest.
Speaker 4: It makes extremely tough on a team like that that
when other teams are resting, you guys aren't so.
Speaker 1: And Triple M says, the aisles aren't letting anybody in
and that'll be the biggest difference is that, like I said,
two wild card spots last year were filled by Atlantic
Division teams, and that's gonna be the big thing is
they either are battling it out. So if Florida misses,
it'd be crazy. It'll be you know, it's gonna be
a lot of pressure on Matthew could chuck and great
point by you Car talking about the fatigue factor potentially
for some of these Florida Panthers players. Although I will
play devil's advocate that maybe it's a good thing for
Matthew could shock going to the Olympics because he's got
to get back in game shape. So maybe it'll be
good for him to come back after getting a bunch
of games under his belt. But those guys are gonna
be tired, man, They're gonna be very tired. We got
to go back. We've got to give thanks to our guy,
Gus b Busting nine donation, and guys, any donations to
this channel do go to charities. We've gone to dog shelters.
I believe we've gone to veterans, right karm different charities
like that. So shut out to you, Gus, shout out
to you. I really appreciate you watching the show. And honestly,
the chat is what makes the show. All of you
guys here shout out to the chat, all of you guys.
The comment of course, you guys that watch afterwards as
well and can't make the show. We appreciate you guys
as well. But win or lose, you guys are with us,
and you know we're hoping to always find you some winners.
And we love chatting with you. And I'll tell you what,
I can't wait for the playoffs already. And it's so
long away because I just love talking about the playoff
games here on puck time. But we're gonna have some
Olympic videos recorded for you guys during the break, so
don't worry about that. And there's still have plenty of
time until the Olympics get here. As actually not really
plenty of time, Carmen happens in a few weeks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's fast approaching.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 4: We have nine days left in this month, nine or
ten days whatever, and then five days and the break
is on the fifth or four days, so we essentially
have like I think there's two weeks of the season left,
thanks to Gus for that one. As Andrew mentioned, I
believe every month or every two months, the video team,
along with our fearless leader in Detroit and one of
the owners of wager Talk, Johnny Detroit, they find a
good charity to donate the money to. Sometimes they'll split
it amongst a couple of different ones. So we do
appreciate it. We take it as a tip for us,
but we know that the money. We appreciate it as
a tip for us, but it goes to someone better. Andrew,
I guess that's the best way of saying. It's someone better,
people in need. So I'm all for that. That's fantastic. Andrew,
give us some player props and a saying game parlay.
Speaker 1: All right, I'll start with the player props that I
have written down for you, just a handful of them.
Just one second. I got to get this set up
for us. Hold on, hold on, hold on, Okay. For today,
We've got Mark Stone goal. Eight of his last ten
games he's got a goal. Plus one eighty five is
the numbers that's definitely worth taking a peek at. We've
got Tara Sanko from the Minnesota Wild. Three of his
last five games he has a goal. But here's the deal.
No ericson ec no Matt Boldy after getting plus two
sixty on Tarasenko to score. I thought those odds were
worth mentioning Andre Sveetchnikov from the Carolina Hurricanes. Guys, he's
got a goal in three of his last five games
plus one seventy. Figured that one was worth mentioning as
Carolina are massive favorites in this one, so maybe the
way to go in that game is by looking at
some goal scoring props. Two head to head ones that
really stood out to me for today Pavalda Feyev from
the Vegas Golden Knights. Both Carmine and I liked the
Vegas Golden Knights for today. Well, he is a really
good price for his goal scoring prop. But he's also
got a goal in three straight meetings against the Boston
Bruins worth mentioning, and Fan Tilly Adam Fantilli has a
goal in three straight games against the Dallas Stars. I
do think overall that Columbus and Dallas game should be
an overtype game, and we've seen him get a goal
in three straight The price for him is played US
two ten, so I believe that's worth looking at here, guys,
those are a handful of stuff to look at. So
Dori Fejev for a point, Dori Fayev for a goal,
Mark Stone has been red hot, Tara Sankos, Fetchnikov, Fan Tilly,
a handful of those guys look at and I would
say that the chat box overall absolutely loves Josh Don today,
so maybe that's worth mentioning. The chat box seems to
love him quite a bit overall with his props. All right,
as far as the graphic is concerned, for today, we
will get rid of that and we will add in this.
We've got a handful of player props here for this
one plus three sixty five. We've talked about Pavel Do'orfeyev,
the run he has overall and the run he has
against the Boston Bruins. We're gonna take him to get
a point, but to also get at least three shots
on goal. We're also gonna take Mitch Marner to get
at least one assist. As we know, he hasn't really
been the biggest goal scorer so far with his career
as a Vegas Golden Knight, but he has been a
machine with the assists. And we'll take the Vegas Golden
Knights on the money line. This all leads us to
plus three sixty five. If you want to get crazy,
you can take the regulation, you can take the puck line,
whatever it might be. But Dorifeyev shots and points Marner
to get some assists and Vegas on the money line
plus three sixty five. We did cash one of the
two leggers yesterday, carm so we did profit yesterday with
the prop segment, and we also hit a big I
believe it was close to plus one seventy goal scorer
that I mentioned as well, So we'll try and do
it all again today.
Speaker 2: Let's keep it going, Drew.
Speaker 3: While you're doing your.
Speaker 4: Player props and your saying game parlays, I was checking
sento to text and then also checked some of the
reporting sites, the Buffalo reporters Uka Pekkaluken in goal tonight
for the same pabers. Come on, man, I went through
that whole thing about Alex lying, and now you put
who go in net tonight? Maybe even once you all
Canadians can get a point out of this game before
they lose it in overtime. What do you think, Andrew,
I'm looking to see if there's.
Speaker 2: Any world about the goalies sign for me.
Speaker 4: On the prices, well, the price is down to like
one twenty two on Montreal plus one oh one on
the Buffalo Sabers from plus one oh five and the
opener was plus one thirteen, so we'll see where that
goes as well to uh Circa with a lower price
as well too. I like to look at their numbers,
but Odds Logic obviously is the site that you guys
want to be checking out because up to date numbers
on that one in real time, so very important I'm
still taking the sabers, Okay, I just I cannot.
Speaker 3: I cannot bring it to taking. No, it's just that.
Speaker 4: And I can't even text message you tonight before I
do the pod play here, And you want to know
why I can't, Andrew, is because I'm going out for
dinner tonight with one of my good friends, Ronnie h And,
who's also a friend of Lawrence's, and Lawrence is coming
to dinner as well too, along with our our wives.
Speaker 3: We're going to.
Speaker 4: An Indian a European fusion type restaurant, a very popular
one here in Toronto and a very good one. So
we're going there for a dinner tonight, So the phones
will be off the tables while we have dinner and
just chat about life in general. So I can't even
send text message updates, nor will I be looking for
any updates from you. I'm gonna mute you on my phone.
With that said, let's see if we can unmute the
same game. Sorry the pod play for today, Andrew, Yes,
there I am. I am now wearing senator's hat. Another
team that despises the Montreal Canadians, the Ottawa Centator is
minus one fifteen. Listen I get it. They're in Nashville.
This team played extremely well. I just love the way
they played in Columbus the other night in that game,
winning four to one. We saw it, and maybe they're
kind of rallying around all Mark. We saw the interviews
that he did just before that game that was shown
during the intermissions of what he is going through and
what rumors do to you and how they can ruin
your family life. But putting that aside, Andrew Nashville twelve
goals allowed in their last two games, both losses, seven
even strength goals to the Vegas Golden Knights, four even
strength goals to the Buffalo Sabers, one empty netter this team.
Those are bad losses when you're allowing eleven of your
twelve goals or five on five, you're struggling defense. And
those are games in which Sorros is playing as well too.
Speaker 3: So it's it's.
Speaker 4: Not looking good for the Nashville Predators. I think they
put together a very good run, but the regression is
starting to hit this team, and they're getting an Autowa
team coming in who is fired up and trying to
get into a playoff spot. Give me the Autawa Centator
minus one point fifteen as your pod played today.
Speaker 1: I like that play too, you know, good for good
for Nashville. But they're just one of those teams that
refuses to sell off pieces, refuses to ever rebuild. But
they're not going to be an upper echelon team. They're
somewhere in the middle. That's what they are. And Chicago
Joe asking if that was was AI.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, yeah, because the other graphic they get snowier
and snowier as they go. So I changed the graphic.
I changed the prices, and then I said to Chad GPT,
can you make.
Speaker 3: Me look a little cooler and clearer? And that's what
it came up with.
Speaker 4: I chat GBT knocked about fifteen years off of my
life there.
Speaker 3: More.
Speaker 4: I look, I look like I'm forty two in that
and not fifty seven. So yes, I.
Speaker 1: Like the pod play though, KR. I like the pod play.
I'm with you on that one, and I think it's
a it's an auto one number. It's a good spot
for them, and sometimes a team needs to just get
back on track and they did that against CBJ. And
although Columbus isn't a great team, they just had to
get a win. They had to get a win, but
carm I'll throw it over to you with this look.
I just got a five percent play going tonight. As
of right now, we got just one play. If I
add anything else to the the client card, it will
be probably around three four o'clock Eastern time. But as
of right now, guys, just five percent play six and
one run. We did miss on yesterday's play, but I
love this one. Pretty much found this play yesterday afternoon
and you know, was waiting to release and was waiting
to get information and we fired on it. So you
guys can get that Wagertalk dot com. However, I always
say if you have any questions or concerns comments, you
can DM me at McInnis Picks. We'll try and get
you set up with a thirty day pass or a
seven day pass, whatever works best for you. But I
do think this is going to be a really great day.
Let's cash this five percent team total bet and car
That's all I have going for today so far.
Speaker 2: What about you go get him?
Speaker 3: Andrew? I love it.
Speaker 4: I don't know what the play is, but I'm sure
i'll find out. And if it's against one of mine,
well I would say I'm still cheer for yours instead
of mine, But I have clients I need to think
about as well too, but we'll talk after the show.
Listen to my man Clemenza, who's always in the chat there.
I actually did buy some canolis to eat on today's show,
but I couldn't sleep last night because I'm updating the
database and stuff, and I wanted to map out Andrew.
I've mapped out the next seven days of NHL plays
that I really really think are good spots, back to backs,
three and four nights, four and six nights type of
type of games. But the prices have to be in
line with it. So obviously, on a day to day basis,
I'll check to see if the lines fit and there
these plays. But my next seven days, I'm it's gonna
be loaded for bear in the NHL before we get
to the All Star break, So grab that seven day NHL.
I'll access two plays up for tonight two in afternoon,
two in afternoon. Europa's League three and oh with totals.
Totals are killing it in Champions League. The sides are
frustrating the hell out of me. But with that said,
both plays today are totals. Let's see if we can
go five and oh this week with totals in soccer.
We appreciate you guys always tuning in to watch the show.
I will have some canolis to eat on the show
tomorrow to celebrate the Buffalo Sabers win in Montreal. And
with that said, Andrew, I think that's it. We're done,
and forty seven minutes you and I chatting hockey with
a ton of people out there having a great time.
Absolutely love you guys in our chat and those who
comment later on sharing information. You guys are the best.
You guys are the pucksters that keep us fuel in
the tank for us, so we really appreciate you guys.
For myself, Andrew and our producer. Also Andrew, this is
puck Time. Will see you on Friday.
