Speaker 1: Happy Thursday, guys. Welcome to puck Time on wager Talk TV.
Andrew mcginni's, Carmin and Bianco, don Buster and Brian Leonard.
We have a big show and a big slate here
on a Thursday to get to and I like this
slate here, guys like this board. I hope you guys
all had a profitable and fun Wednesday night betting the
NHL some good games and the NHL last night actually
also a good good night for some props last night.
A couple of those games had a decent number of goals,
but also the big time players all showed up for
the perspective team. So overall, a really really good day yesterday.
And we'll try and move on to today. We got
football today, we got college games today, and we got of.
Speaker 2: Course a big NHL slate.
Speaker 1: I know Carmine is ready today with not just hockey,
with soccer plays and I don't know, maybe football as well.
Speaker 2: Let's bring him in.
Speaker 3: What's up, Carl, what's going on? Andrew?
Speaker 4: Finally a good thirteen card, thirteen game card on the
NHL schedule as they cram these games in. But yeah,
we got a lot to talk about Tampa Bay and
New Jersey. You and I are going to break that down.
Then we'll bring in the man from the South, Don
Buster to do Saint Louis and Nashville, You and I,
Montreal Canadians and Pittsburgh, your favorite team and your favorite
player on two opposite sides. Hid the kid who's the
bubblehead right behind me, San Jose and the Toronto Brian
Leonard is gonna come in and do that one. Brian
Leonard's coming to Toronto next year. God bless him. Man.
I talked to him last night on the phone. Love
the fact he's coming to Toronto to visit, not to live.
Vegas and Philly will keep Brian around for a little bit,
see if he wants to discuss the fact that Carter
Hart could be making a start against his former team
in Philadelphia. Tonight's same game, Parlay and a pod. And
with that said, we got a lot to cover, So Andrew,
let's do it.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay minus one thirty five New Jersey plus one
fifteen total sixer at six. I just saw and I'm
guessing it probably trended over night. Timo Meyer away from
the team personal leave of absence. It says something to
do with family health. So hopefully everybody in that family
is well or is going to be okay. But you
know that those are always tough on a team when
a player leaves for something other than an injury, leaves
for family issues. These guys are a tight knit family
in New Jersey. Do you think that affects them at
all going into this one?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's a very underrated player in the
league overall.
Speaker 2: I think it is.
Speaker 1: And of course one of your teammates is going through something.
One of your teammates is struggling a bit, you know,
can be a distraction, It can kind of hurt the team.
One thing I'll say, if this Tampa Bay Lightning team,
what does this make it? KLM the fourth game of
the road trip here. But the funny thing is is,
you know two of those three games have not looked
good at all. Right, So you know, we can talk
about the roach and we can talk about the travel,
but at the same time, if you got shut out
in two of the first three games of your road trip,
not to mention they had, you know, injuries to deal
with with headman with Kouchiov Vasilevsky was even questionable in
some of those games. So I like Tampa here man,
and it's not fully just because of Timo Meyer being out,
but it's mostly a momentum based thing, right, Like you
look at Tampa Bay. They lost against the Leafs, they
lost against the Islanders, lost against the Penguins, lost against
the Islanders. Again, they were on a little bit of
a losing streak, and it's kind of like when a
team is on a winning streak, you don't really think
that winning streak is over until they lose two. Well,
I think that once this went losing streak was snapped
for the Tampa Bay Lightning, they're gonna go back on
a little bit of a run here, So momentums on
their side. And honestly, Karm, I know that I know
that I bashed the Maple Leafs, but at the end
of the day, I thought that the Lightning deserved a
lot better fate in that game. Hill to be, Dennis
Hildeby played very well, So they've actually strung together some
really good offensive games in a row. They just happened
to run into some hot goaltenders. So I do lean
towards the Tampa side. What do you think does do
the Devils rally behind their player being out or is
it a good spot for Tampa.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you really do bash the Leafs a lot. You
need to be a little more neutral, like I am.
I'm very rarely hard on ye the Leafs myself. I
say that tongue in tongue in cheek. You know it's
a tough one. It is a tough one from a
betting perspective. If anyone can find a reason to want
to or not a reason to want to play this game,
but a reason that you feel it is a strong play,
then you know, God bless you. Obviously, the goaltending issues
for Tampa come into this. But the Devils, we talk
about the Devil's had such a phenomenal start to the season.
I think they went like nine to oh to one
or something like that in their first ten game games
at home. But they've lost four straight games on home ice,
four five to three to the Devils, five to three
to Columbus, three nothing to Dallas, and three nothing to
the Vegas Golden Knights. They've been shut out and back
to back games, Andrew, and now they get a Tampa
Bay team that, as you mentioned, haven't been scoring a
lot of goals. I'm seeing the headman is back on
the questionable list for tonight, so I don't know whether
he's in the lineup or not. He did play the
last game, I believe, and of course I faded, of
course I faded Tampa Bay in the one game in
which they they played absolutely lights out against the Montreal Canadians.
Speaker 3: That was that was a disaster on my part.
Speaker 4: But with that said, I you know, I look at
these two teams and you know, I think New Jersey
once they get healthy and get Jack Ques a big
part of that team, it is is hard to believe
that one player can make that much of a difference.
And it's not just him, but he is a big
part of that team. And now Timo Meyer missing as
well to a couple guys who are big in the
dressing room as well too as leaders, and with those
guys out of the lineup, it's probably at the height
of what I want to lay. And this is something
I can talk to we can talk to Brian about.
But is one thirty five on Tampa Bay the ceiling
of what you want to lay in a game on
the road against a New Jersey team that's been shut
out and back to back games at home and you
know that they're going to be better. I think it
is the height of where I want to go. The
total of six, I am not even going to touch that.
It feels like a four to two game to me
that lands on the total. If you like the over,
you just wait, kind of like what I mentioned previously,
Wait the first three or four minutes of the game,
watch it drop to five and a half, and then
bet it in game. If you like the over and
just hope for no goals, there's waits for it to
still get there, kind of like the Anaheim and Pittsburgh
game where an I'm scored with a second point one
seconds left on the clock to officially make that an over.
So with that said, Tampa Bay for me Andrew, so
we're kind of mono and mono of this one.
Speaker 2: The good news I'm on Tampa.
Speaker 4: Okay, I was gonna say the good news is one
of us is going to be right tomorrow. Like only
one of us will get a tough time in the UH,
in the chat afterwards or the comments section. But God
bless you guys. Hit that like button guys. We really
appreciate you guys tuning in each and every day.
Speaker 3: Steve O. G.
Speaker 4: Eight or hal uh, you see Panda who's here as well?
To hit that like button, Guys, do a favorite if
you haven't already done, so hit the subscribe button, because
if you hit the subscribe button, you get to see
this guy come on at least once a week. Don buster,
let's bring him in Andrew. Look he's no longer in
a holding cell.
Speaker 3: Look at him. He is almost home, almost.
Speaker 5: Home, almost almost.
Speaker 6: Maybe maybe next week I'll bring out the Mexican blanket.
We'll see I'll be a surprise for Karma.
Speaker 7: Piata. Well, dude, you pick that.
Speaker 5: Somebody's got to be great types of games, that's all.
Speaker 3: I like it. It's kind of like what Brian says.
Speaker 4: When Brian comes on, He's like, I'm gonna do the
game nobody wants to do, and he always has a
very good breakdown of it. And I expect you're going
to be the exact same way. Nashville minus one twenty
four Saint Louis plus one o two total sits here
at six A buster, tell us where you're going with
this one.
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is going to be the first game of
four between these clubs this season. But what I find
interesting by New Year's day, they'll already play three games.
Speaker 5: So this is where this is one of these spots
where I.
Speaker 6: Know we all look ahead, we all keep scheduling stuff,
and that's what we're trying to, you know, help our
the people that are watching, to show the people to
learn more about how.
Speaker 5: To bet hockey. This is a perfect example of what
you do. Keep a track.
Speaker 6: These three games are gonna happen to be in the
next thirty days, and maybe by that third game you
might have yourself a nice little Christmas present lined up
for yourself. Something else that I find interesting here is
that Saint Louis just came home from a three game
road trip, played one game, and now they got to
go to Nashville for just one road game, and then
they're back home for four more.
Speaker 5: Games at home.
Speaker 6: But they play right away tomorrow and they play the Blackhawks,
which is a rival of theirs. So if you ask me,
the scheduler did not do this club any favors whatsoever
at all. And now they also play a Nashville team
that's been playing decent hockey. Nashville's five and two their
last seven games, and Saint Louis they've been kind of
up and down, they're two and three in their last five.
I do lean Nashville here. It is a little bit
of a coin flip as we see it's one fifteen,
but I do like and I haven't played it yet,
but I do like the over because it's I know
you said it was six there, Carbine, but right now,
just about fifteen, maybe ten minutes before the show started.
Speaker 5: You can still get five and a half.
Speaker 6: But it's over thirty five at DraftKings and Fan Duel,
so you can still get that. That thirty five is
a little too high for me. I like to play
it maybe over twenty five, but there's a lot of
six under fifteen, six under twenties, and a bunch of
the markets, so I will wait to play that over
five and a half. I think it will come down.
So what we have here is a Nashville who actually
are playing way more offensively this year. I think there's
numerous times I came on the show last year saying that,
you know, with all that firepower that they had, that
they should be playing more offensively, and they just played
a lot of one nothing two one games, and actually
sorrows stood on his head and they still are losing games.
He's not doing that much of standing on said, they're
actually playing playing more overs. In fact, Nashville are seven
or one to the over in the last eight games,
and they were at home.
Speaker 5: They're four and one last five over.
Speaker 6: Funny thing here too, when these clubs get together. He
have said they didn't play this year. But you know,
sometimes it's horses for courses. As I like to say,
these teams get together, twelve and four to the over
last sixteen. That's kind of interesting.
Speaker 5: There have been.
Speaker 6: A bunch of a couple unders lately, and there is
no doubt Saint Louis is more of an under team.
But we believe the spot. Like just the way the
spot sets up for Saint Louis here, it might hurt
them defensively. They're looking ahead to that Collego game for sure.
You know, they got screwed over having to come out
and play one road game and go right back home.
Speaker 5: So the spot tells me maybe that.
Speaker 6: Saint Louis isn't going to be as defensive minded as
they normally would be.
Speaker 5: Now in saying that Saint.
Speaker 6: Louis actually have gone three and one to the over
the last four So, like I say, I'm going to
wait to get the five and a half over twenty five.
I'm hoping that will come out. It might be almost
there now because of the sixes. But we'll not playing
anybody who wants to bet Nashville tonight because I think
it is a bad spot for Saint Louis.
Speaker 5: But I lean I like the over five and a
half a little bit more.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Buster, I agree with you. It should be being
today in sorrow. Someone mentioned the Nashville played last night.
They didn't actually play last night. The last time these
teams either one of these teams played. Both of them
played on the ninth, which was Tuesday on that huge slate,
so neither team is on the second of a back
to back here.
Speaker 3: But you're completely right.
Speaker 4: It has been a horrendous Maybe horrendous is a little
too rough, but it has been a bad scheduling spot
for the Saint Louis Blues coming back from a road trip.
Pretty much every single one of their games has had
travel over the last five I think five games. I
think this is tonight's their fifth game in eight nights.
So we'll see how they respond to tonight's game and
whether they're a little as you say, Lucy goosey and
we see some goals. Nashville has generated twelve point twelve
point six to six XG over the last four games,
which isn't bad. We saw this spurt from Nashville a
little earlier this season where they looked horrendous and then
they started to score some goals and it looked like
they might have turned the corner, and then they went
back to looking like the pathetic Nashville Predators. And that's
not a slight on the team. It's just they weren't
scoring goals. And it's a team with you know, Marsha
Show and Stamkos, guys who they brought in who were
expected to score some goals Andrew. So with that said, Buster,
tell us you have a big night plan tonight in
the NHL. Promote yourself, my friend.
Speaker 5: Yes I do, Carl.
Speaker 6: I have a big five percent NHL package going tonight.
Speaker 5: We're we're hitting.
Speaker 6: Quite well with five percent plays in the NHL, eighty
three percent, ten two and two in our last fourteen
with five percent NHL plays and on the site we
are number one and five percent plays with win percentage
and ROI on this season. So we do pick our
spots with these five percent plays found a real good
when I think tonight, and you can get that over
at the site. Go to don Buster and get that play,
but don't be paying thirty five dollars for it, because
we have that great three day NHL All Access for
only forty nine dollars. So you can get that play
a few more of my plays that I'll have in
the NHL tonight. Now I know Friday there's only two games,
I probably will only have one play, but Saturday we've
got thirteen games, big card lots going on there.
Speaker 5: So the deal is to get the three day all access.
Speaker 6: Pass for only forty nine dollars and you'll be glad
you did so. As always, thanks guys for having me
on much appreciated.
Speaker 4: Time, and to let you guys know that's a three
day NHL A yes, did I not say that? So
the customer service doesn't get it, and you know, Buster,
I would think, because you're such a great guy, the
great thing for you to do is complete pass on
the Friday card, which extends that three day package to Saturday,
and then they get your full NHL card on Saturday
where there's like thirteen games.
Speaker 3: Like well, I thought they should be doing they.
Speaker 5: Would get it anyway.
Speaker 6: So what you're saying, what the idea is, Actually, that's
a good idea.
Speaker 5: So all of us Saturday Sunday should get That's when
we should have Saturday Sunday.
Speaker 3: That's right, you know you, God bless you.
Speaker 5: Okay, I am't gonna pass on Friday.
Speaker 7: There's two games.
Speaker 5: I don't even look at them at all.
Speaker 4: How's that you'll be in the life? Check given out
your play for free? How's that there?
Speaker 3: You go?
Speaker 7: There for sure?
Speaker 4: See always always thinks he is such a blessing this guy.
Speaker 3: Look at him.
Speaker 4: Look at that smile on his face. Always happy, dude.
I am going as on a side and not hockey related.
Friday night dinner and Lord Nelson's with your good buddy
Rob Brayley. He already called me and asked me which
risotto you want to the chef to make, and I
told him the roasted red pepper risotto.
Speaker 6: So yeah, uh, that's the best move, Carmid. That stuff
is that is unbelievable. Yeah, definitely definitely the move. I
sometimes get the mushrom risotta.
Speaker 4: All right, dude, with with uh that said, listen, have
a great, uh great night in the NHL. Uh and
and I'll go back to Andrew for muster.
Speaker 1: I didn't get to talk to you very much in
this segment, but it's always good to see you chat.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 4: I didn't I should actually chat about the Montreal Canadian.
Speaker 1: Get my words in here, good buster, But I always
love to chat with your brother, so, uh, good breakdown.
And you know what I think those two teams you
mentioned there, those two teams are are pretty much competing
for who's not going to be the seller at the deadline.
Like both those teams are have potential to be sellers.
Speaker 2: So happening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like the battle of who's not going to
be the shittiest.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I have to watch that game today with our
new man in net, so we'll see how he does.
Speaker 2: Yeap, looking forward to it.
Speaker 1: It's it's probably eighty percent sure he's starting. They just
didn't want to say anything, So looking forward to it.
Speaker 2: All right, bust, We take care of brother.
Speaker 5: Okay, take care guys. Have a good one.
Speaker 4: Andrew, it is your team and you talked about it yesterday.
Is you've mentioned a few times the goaltending duo and
is it Foster Forrester? Tell us about this goalie.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it is not one hundred percent confirmed yet,
but it is about eighty percent that Jacob Fowler will
be starting. I don't want to put any pressure on
this guy, KRM, but he might be the next carry price.
I don't want to put any pressure on this guy
or anything, but he might be the next carry price
for the Montreal Canadians. This guy is from Boston College.
He had a lot of success there and a lot
of success with Team USA at the World Juniors, and
now he's been down in Laval, had a ton of
success there as well. It's super low goals against average,
super super high stay percentage, and when you've got not
one but two goaltenders on your team struggling the way
that they are with Dobish and Montembau, it's just not acceptable.
Whether it's the man to mand system not working for them,
whether they're giving up too many Grade eight chances, I
think that's probably part of it, but overall, the goaltending
just has not been good now, Karen, last night or
two nights ago, the have started their game off by
giving up two breakaways pretty much against the lightning. That's
not really going to help out your goaltenders very much
by doing so. But when I look at this game here,
first of all, I find it kind of interesting.
Speaker 2: I have to mention this.
Speaker 1: Patrick Waugh and Carrie Price both made their NHL debuts
against the Pittsburgh Penguins. So if you kind of want
to get a little bit, you know, not superstitious, I
guess the word to be, but if you like the storylines,
you're kind of interested in that here. But with Laval,
Jacob Fowler this year has three shoutouts, two point zero
nine goals against the average in a nine to nineteen
say percentage carm A lot of times teams need a
way to wake up. This game started around to pick them.
It's now around minus one twenty. Some books are showing
a little bit more on the Pittsburgh Penguins total at
six and a half. I'm gonna go with the under
six and a half here. I think that some teams
need a spark, you need a wake up call. The
Montreal Canadians have been a big time over team this year.
A lot of the Canadian teams have been the Leafs,
the Canucks, the Oilers, the Habs, the Senators. These teams
have all been over teams for some reason in Canada.
But I like the under here. I'm not saying that
I'm expecting this guy to just be the best goalie
in the world in his first game, if he is
making his debut tonight. What I am saying is that
coaches can't fire all the players. Coaches can't send down
all the players to the minor leagues. What you can
do is shock the team. I think this came as
a shock to the team here, Karen, so I think
they're gonna go and play their best defensive effort over
the last few games. And also, they've got so many injuries. Man,
Jake Evans is now injured. You still have Kirby Dawk injured.
Patrick Lyone is still injured, Alex Newhok is injured. We
have one of the worst and yes, I said we
one of the worst bottom six is in the NHL.
If someone's gonna say that, I don't say good enough
things about my team. They currently have one of the
worst bottom sixes in the whole league. Not to mention,
we have been seeing a bit more defensive metrics out
of the Pittsburgh Penguins. That's all I got for.
Speaker 2: You, Karen.
Speaker 1: But I am very excited if Polly is playing tonight,
very excited about that.
Speaker 4: I'd like to see him to start total since here
six and a half and I get it with the
Pittsburgh Penguin games, and I'm sure Lost Kid, whether he's
watching it right now live or he's watching it later, Andrew,
this guy's gonna be like Karm's gonna fade Pittsburgh again,
isn't he Like if I was ever in Pittsburgh and
I saw like some guy walking towards me with the
Pittsburgh jersey or whatever and it said like lost Kid
on it, I think I would cross the street and
head to the other side. As many times as I
have tried to fade this one, but I will say this, Andrew,
to your point is, and we've seen in the NHL
when a team calls up a goalie and it's just
not an emergency goalie, but a goalie who figures to
be in their plans, sometimes they revert to a more
defensive game to try and protect this guy. Get players,
get the opposition players out from in front of the net,
minimize the rebounds or the chances there, keep the shots
on the perimeter. And it's something you could see from
the Montreal Canadian sign. Maybe they don't go full out,
you know, one hundred miles an hour trying to skate
up and down the ice, and they're just playing a
much better defensive game. We'll see, well know, in the
first twenty minutes of the game, whether that is the
plan for this team or not. Jari is confirmed, but
you know, I like the numbers on this kid, so
we'll see what he does. Plus one oh one is
not enough for me to take the Montreal Canadians.
Speaker 3: In this spot.
Speaker 4: But if he is in goal, I'm going to take
the under. So I'm going to base it on the
Montreal This is a goalie based play for me. If
Montreal starts this rookie, I'm going to take the under
in the game and expect them to play a much
better defensive game. So we shall see where that goes.
But with that said, no, Stevie Duke, you did not
somebody else I think posted a play. I removed it. Guys,
we do these shows for free. We don't force you
guys into a paywall. We don't force you guys into
buying plays. We do these games. We give out info,
our thought process, hoping to make you guys better gamblers.
We will promote ourselves towards the end of the show,
and if you want to head over there and pick
up plays, you can do so. But all I ask
is that you don't post plays in the live chat
that are plays of anybody who's on this panel. That's
all I can ask you. Four But speaking of plays, Andrew,
before I bring on the shot of Daiies, who's always
a refreshing site. Dude, you have a five percent play tonight.
Tell us about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it. KRM five percent play.
This is something that I've actually been looking at for
a couple of days now, and I know it sounds
funny because I don't usually look ahead like that with schedules.
I'm usually a game by game handicapper. But this is
a play I've been looking at for a couple of days.
It is a team total, and this is both a
situational and a statistical matchup that I'm just a huge
fan of. My favorite play on the board. You guys
can get that of course at wtt bus slash am
my five percent best bet on the board. But why
not go ahead and take advantage of this great deal.
You can use it for Carmine. You can use it
for myself as well, Buster or Brian hat Trick, all
access pass, three days of NHL College Hockey, AHL, whatever
it is we're releasing works out to be sixteen thirty
three per day. I know you guys said the same thing,
you know when when Carmine you had your five percent play?
Why spend thirty five bucks? Forty nine dollars is the
deal for this, all right? Forty nine bucks for three days,
thirty five bucks for the five percent, as clear as day.
Speaker 2: Don't miss it, guys. This is a really, really good play.
Speaker 1: I got it up early last night, and it's my
favorite play of the week so far in the NHL.
Speaker 2: So don't miss that.
Speaker 1: Carm I'm very excited that I think you already know
what my play is before he BG and Brian.
Speaker 2: I wanted to.
Speaker 4: Mention I don't, but I'm just glad that you got
it up last night.
Speaker 3: Listen.
Speaker 4: Apparently your segment is now sponsored by Blue Cheo as well.
But with I wanted to men, I'm sorry, Oh my god,
I just went off on a tangent.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: I shouldn't have gone off on.
Speaker 1: But Montreal Canadians carm eight and three on the road
and seven and eight at home. Their goal differential at
home is minus fourteen. Their goal differential on the road
is plus two. So it's kind of funny how this
young team. You'd think a young team would be better
at home, but the young team has actually been much
better at home or on the road for whatever reason.
So something worth mentioning.
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, definitely, Andrew. You know, it is weird that
I have to keep telling people over and over again
because I see some guys who post about yes, my
mind is in the gutter. I see guys who post,
you know, about losing, like losing a play and listen,
we all lose them. Don't get hard on yourselves. Just
get back to the grind. But when you're losing like
one game in a four game parlay, think about it.
You've hit seventy five percent of your plays and you've
lost money. This is why parlays are tough. That's the
point of the pod is just, ohw you the grind
throughout the season, Andrew, and we all have him, but
it's just taking that extra step further. Looking at some
of these analytics sites and we mention them Brian mentions them,
Andrew you mention them. I mentioned the ev analytics, which
I think is a good one as well too. But
you know natural stat treck where you can check x
G goals in different situations home in a way and
see if a team is trending upwards. It is putting
a little more effort into it because it's your harder money.
If you're not going to protect your money, then you
might as well just donate it to someone because the
books aren't gonna feel bad for you. But with that said,
someone who always feels bad for the books, I know
he does because he lives in Vegas. It is Brian
Leonard to break down the Toronto Maple Leafs and the
San Jose Sharks. We didn't have the press here, so
we had to bring in Brian.
Speaker 8: I got a quick story about the press, but I'll
do it after I do my handicamping of this game. Yeah,
I'm gonna take a look at San Jose in Toronto.
It's funny that you mentioned that to Buster about that
ugly game, because I'm looking at it.
Speaker 7: I kind of like that game.
Speaker 8: But then he'd already taken it, so I didn't have
a chance to talk about it, but San Jose. In Toronto,
it's been a really nice season for the Sharks, who
currently are tied with the Mammoth for the final playoff spot.
You can believe that the improvement is clear, and they've
done a very nice job in the NHL draft, and
as you would expect because they've been so lousy over
the last few years, they've got some really good draft picks.
But like most young teams, they perform much better at
home than they do on the road. They're nine to
five and three at home, but just five to nine
and zero on the road. Despite playing three more games
in San Jose, they've been out scored by sixteen goals
on the season. So don't get your hopes up too
much to make the playoffs in San Jose if you're
a fan of the Sharks. But they are pointed in
a nice direction and they're very competitive. I just about
every night when they go out there. You know, early
in the year they're defensive. Goaltending let them down, but
now it's the offense, especially when they go on the road.
They've only scored twelve total goals their last eight road games.
And if he'd been watching, our friend Prez. When he's
been on the show for the last couple of weeks,
he's been talking about this Toronto defense and the goaltending.
He's made a ton of money playing in the under
and Toronto's thought of as a poor defensive team coming
into the season with bad goaltending, but with the loss
of some key scoring they now have emphasized the defense
and they're a much better team for doing so. They're
permitting just eleven goals in their last seven games. This
team's playing really well defensively, and the better defense is
also showed up in the standings, and the Maple Leafs
continue to fight back from a horrendous start. And because
Toronto is having success with the way they're playing right
now and they're playing a team with an offensive slump,
I think this is going to be a lower scoring game.
There's six and a half's out there right now. I'm
gonna play that under the total. A San Jose's not
scoring right now, and Toronto is playing very good defense
and the goal tiny has been terrific. I think it'll
be one of those games where somebody gets an early lead,
take a little bit of air out of the out
of the puckets out of the ball.
Speaker 7: But we've got to figure out what that's called in hockey.
I don't I don't know. I've always say that, but yeah,
give me the under in this.
Speaker 3: One, Brian. You know what it's called.
Speaker 4: It is called taking the freeze out of the pucks,
because you know how they they have the puck, the
pucks iced like crazy, right, so so they don't bounce
on the ice when they put in fresh pucks. And
I've seen a couple of times where the puck is
not frozen before the game, that puck will bounce on
the ice, which is the worst for like defensemen who
are trying to get the puck on and it comes
up on its end and you just can't get that
proper shot up, or you get those flutterballs like they
used to do. And what was that movie The Mighty
Duck where he flips it on his edge and he
makes the buck do that thing. So Rubbert pucks that
have not been frozen. That is like taking the air
out of the ball. Allat Tom Brady just before the
Super Bowl. But I digress. Frozen Brady, Yeah no, No.
The New England Patriots say they never cheated at all. Yes,
I am a suffering Buffalo Bills fan. I am allowed
to vent every once in a while. Dan Alexander bry
We're having to chat yesterday, meet him and Andrew, and
I just kept saying that Dan's like this. Anything short
of making the Super Bowl for the Buffalo Bills would
be a disappointment the way it's been set up for them,
because I think that Denver and New England. I'm not
gonna call them frauds, but I don't think they're built
right now to make a deep run in the playoffs.
Only problem is the Bills have to go on the
road and they're not a very good road team in
the playoffs.
Speaker 7: So NFL Today on the NHL Network.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm just gonna suffer once again. Yes, imagine being
a Bills and Sabers fan. Uh Like how I I'm
I'm not like medicated and uh and have empty bottles
of wine on my desk is beyond me?
Speaker 2: Right, follow us your desk, show us your desk. Maybe
you do, Maybe he does.
Speaker 7: Tokyo Brandon's got some red Bull or something on the
side of some.
Speaker 4: Healing anointment that's for the dry skin. And I have
said the kid back there who's gonna whack me one
of these days with that? But I think but uh, Brian,
you know I joked around about liking the over in
this game. Uh, It's not that I'm joking around about it.
I just think the Leaves have done such a great
job of keeping their teams at bay that there's gonna
there's gonna be like one of those breakout games where
the Sharks just play an open game and try and
suck the Leafs into playing that type of game and
maybe see some goals. I'm not gonna get to the
window on it is just because it's just an opinion, uh,
and it's one that it goes contrary to what we're
seeing from Toronto right now, and the press has been
cashing on those bright I'm going to keep you around.
Speaker 8: Because Angel and you were going to talk about the
biggest before we get into the for those that don't
know before, because we have to put up the graphics
and everything before we do the show. Carmine asked us
who we're going to use as our play and so
I sent in San Jose at Toronto and like fifteen
minutes later, I don't hear from pres Press has called
me like twice in the last two years.
Speaker 7: He calls me out, first thing out of his mouth,
You're not going to have a play on San Jose,
are you? And I said no, I like the under
and he goes, okay, I'll talk to you later. Basically,
that was the extent of it.
Speaker 8: Is because he's such a Toronto fan and he knows
I do so well in Underdogs. He thought I was
going to give out the opposite of his team and
it was freaking him out. So I calmed him down
a little bit and we were able to go home
with our days. But yeah, that's the problem about being
a fan, is you.
Speaker 7: Uh, you jumped, you.
Speaker 8: Know, because I hated when any of us go against
each other, you know, but it happens.
Speaker 7: We all, we all handicapped differently.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Uh, he is on a plane right now,
or he's at Pearson Airport in Toronto, he's getting ready,
or he's on a flight already on his way to
Whistler for skiing with another buddy of mine and his
a couple of guys. Uh, and Andrew, I feel sorry
for the poor bastard who sitting beside him. It just
how long is this flight? Because Prez is just going
to talk about how great he is in the NHL.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, pres needed a vacation here, guys, right,
need to get away somewhere.
Speaker 4: So listen, when you put in a hard or hard
you know, seven to eight minutes every single or twice
a week, you need a seven day break, U you know,
at least to go skiing.
Speaker 3: So it's uh.
Speaker 7: Getting back to the Bluetoo comment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say I put it a set
hard seven to eight minutes last night, but I guess
that's all the stories I have.
Speaker 7: Guys excited.
Speaker 4: So Brian Andrew, come on, man, Carter Hart, do the
Vegas Golden Knights start him tonight? Vegas is one fifty
four Philly plus one. The total sits here of five
and a half. And you're gonna go to you first,
and then I want here from Brian or you guys
can go split screen the two of you guys and
discuss this game.
Speaker 1: All right, Calm, get out of here, get that garbage
out of here, like the same in Toronto.
Speaker 2: All right, Brian, do you think that.
Speaker 1: Overall there was a big issue with the goaltending with
with the Vegas Golden Knights Because I was on a
show and the Hockey News. I've been doing some guest
shows with them and it's really fun, and I was
the host.
Speaker 2: But I of course I still.
Speaker 1: Had to give my opinion on it that I was
asking the different panelists how many games they thought Carter
Hart would play through the remainder of this season, and
of course I think all that has to do with
how well he's going to play. But I remember, and
I'm not trying to be the pat myself guy that
I don't think it was really a hot take. I
remember saying when you were on the show a couple
weeks ago before he made his debut, you know, he's
going to go on a run. He's going to do
extremely well, and several other teams are gonna wish that
they traded they picked him up, you know. And now
you look at the record that he has, Brian, you know,
he is not just winning games, but also has a
really good save percentage. Looks like he hasn't missed much time.
Now he's kind of got an opportunity here, I think,
in a good opportunity where it's going to be against
a low event team like it's his former team, but
it's a low event team Philadelphia, they don't really create
a lot of high offense chances. Now they're coming off
and win against San Jose. I was actually on Philly
in regulation, my first regulation bet of the season, actually,
But I like the under here. You just talked about
an under you liked even though it's an extended road
trip for Vegas.
Speaker 2: What it's only been a couple of games. I guess
I like the under in this one.
Speaker 1: I think that we're gonna see kind of two teams
battle it out defensively, and I just don't really trust
the output of offense that Philadelphia has to offer. So
two parder for you. How many games do you think
that we see from Carter Hart? Is he all of
a sudden going to be the number one guy? And
what do you think about my underthought on tonight's game.
Speaker 8: I can't say that he's going to be the number
one guy. I'd be more concerned when they get Aiden
hillback that they don't keep them now. They may trade
him at that point, but Schmid has been so good
I don't see how he's number He's he's going to
lose the.
Speaker 7: Number one at this point.
Speaker 8: In fact, last time I was on here, I believe
I played the under in the game. In the game,
and I expected Schmid to play because Hard to play
the night before or the game before, and maybe they
gave him an extra day, but that would not bear
that I would think Schmid would be in the lineup today.
I can't believe they would leave him out for three
straight games. I haven't heard any injury situations there. If
they do play hard again today, it would be a
surprise to me. But I understand why you know he'd
like to play there. But Vegas right now is they're
getting a lot more crazy than what they deserve. I'm
not sure if I'm looking to play on them at
this point. To be honest with you, I've had a
tough time with them and the Florida Panthers in the
last week, just having the things that I expected to
happen have somewhat happened. But I've been losing these games
about like a half a goal or a goal or
that kind of thing. So I don't have a lot
of opinion on tonight's game. But I do love it
when they play Philadelphia because I like the fan support
they get to Philadelphia. A great crowd of guys there,
like they do it all the original five and back
in the year's there, So looking forward to that, But
right now I hate to be committed to a certain
opinion about the Nights because I have him a good lately.
Speaker 3: And that you know, Brian.
Speaker 4: I will say this because while you and Andrew were talking,
I was checking some of the news outlets, and with
regards to the morning skate, Carter Hert was out there
for the morning skate, but by all indications he is
not the starter tonight in goal. He'll be on the
bench in a backup role. So I think we go
back to Kira Kira Schmid. Yeah, I pronounced that right,
So we'll see him in goal, which bodes well for
the Vegas Golden Knights, and probably that price on him
which is minus one fifty four, so we'll see what
we get out of them. Brian, what do you have
to promote over at wager Talk, because I believe you,
my friend, also have a very strong play going tonight.
Speaker 8: I do. We are off a losing day and that's
been rarely lately. Went two and three yesterday, love the car. Today,
We've got three pla up the NHL, one in college basketball,
and one of my NHL plays is a five percent.
It's only second five percent we've had this month. I
don't put out very many of them, and I hope
it's not well. It won't be the same as as
Andrews because it's not a team total. It's a side
in the game. We play a lot more sides than
anything else. But loving a game today a five percent
play and like was talked about earlier with Buster, if
you want to grab that three day package, you're getting
at least two full days of hockey with two games
on Friday. I haven't handicappedhim yet. I'm not going to
make a commitment that I'm not going to have a
play on them. What chances are I will not, which
which puts you over to the Thursdays, Saturday, Sunday, which
is a pretty good deal.
Speaker 7: I won't have.
Speaker 8: Anything unless it's at least a four percent on Friday,
and chances are that's not going to happen. But I
can't make that promise. I we're in it to grind
for the season, and I've got a lot of guys
have seasonal packages with me in long term, so I
can't guarantee that. But that's the better way to play.
This should get all my place tonight. I think normally
it costs like thirty nine dollars for one day. You
get everything for three days for forty four. That's a
better deal.
Speaker 3: God bless you, Brian.
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to you coming up and watching the
Cleveland Guardians getting absolutely spanked by the future World Series
champion to Toronto Blue Jays next April. It is going
to be a fun time. And that's pretty much at
the end of the regular season. Andrew, I think that
that game is the twenty fourth. The regular season ends
usually about the second week of April, and then we're
into the playoffs. So maybe the pres will spring for
some NHL tickets and we can go and watch a
playoff game or so.
Speaker 8: Well, we shall see. But the well they didn't tell
me yesterday. Make he didn tell me on the phone yesterday.
He goes, Oh, here are you coming from Toronto? And
are coming up Toronto? Go Yeah, he goes, I'll have
to show you my house. If that doesn't tell you, Press,
I don't know what does.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll have to show you my house, all right,
remember not. I look forward to going out to dinner.
Speaker 7: I look forward to see you now. I can show
you my house.
Speaker 3: It's really nice. Whatever, it's a listen, good luck, Brian man.
Speaker 4: We appreciate you coming on uh and uh doing all.
Speaker 3: These guest spots.
Speaker 4: Best of luck with your pleas and straight right through
the weekend as well too, because I know you got
a lot of stuff in action, So best of luck
to you, my friend.
Speaker 7: Thanks guys, good luck see.
Speaker 2: It, Brian.
Speaker 1: We're hoping for a three. We got a lot of
pressure on the Puck Time panel today. Here carm hd
a five percent earlier this week. Already Buster has one,
You have one, and I have one going all in
one night. So the first step is hoping there's nothing
uh conflict wise.
Speaker 8: Okay.
Speaker 1: If they're conflict wise, we're screwed you and I know that.
Speaker 2: Okay. The second step is let's cash all of our tickets.
Look forward to it. Have a good night, Brian, Thank you, guys.
Speaker 3: Good Andrew.
Speaker 4: It's funny because one of our one of our guys
in the chat and we still have a few minutes
before we do the same game parlay and the pod
and close us out. But Jeffrey's like, just don't go
into PRES's basement. Uh, but lol, whatever, you know, The
funny thing is Friday, he hosted a poker tournament, a
cash game for a bunch of his friends, a bunch
of my friends or what have you. And the basement
is where his he has a separate room where his
office is set up that you guys see a great
recording area. But the poker table. Just above the poker table,
look up and I see there's like these things hanging
from it, and I'm like, what the hell are those?
I didn't want to say anything. It just seemed like
something out of like a dungeon or what have you.
And I was just it reminded me of and the
old guys who we live in New York might know this.
Speaker 3: I went to New York.
Speaker 4: This is like twenty plus years ago, Andrew with a
with this friend of mine and she says, Oh, we're
gonna go to this place at night. It's a club
called the Vault. Let me tell you. It cost the
forty dollars cover for the guys to get in there.
It was free for girls. I walked in and the
minute I walked in, I had to walk back out again.
The Vault is not a club. The Vault is one
of those SMM kind of places. So if you've been
to New York, yeah, it's not what you want to do.
But I always thought the Vault was a little different.
With that said, Andrew, I don't know how I got there.
It is time, God bring you have your threesome of
plays together. The same game parlay. Sorry, go ahead, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, you have to tell people what
you said before the show in our slack.
Speaker 4: Yes, let's keep it on pace. Let's talk about hockey.
We have a tight timeline, and I'm talking about the
Vault in York. It's what it is.
Speaker 1: You know what it's uh when someone says I have
to show you my house and then a commenter says, uh,
you know, stay away.
Speaker 2: From the basement. I guess that's uh.
Speaker 1: That's probably the road that we end up going down
when you're looking at that stuff. So all right, you
know what, car, I've just got two picks that I
like for NHL as far as uh prop parlays are concerned.
And it's one one from each team. It is a
plus one thirty five same game parlay. It is two
players Kill Marchenko to get a point and Drake Bathson
to get a point. Those two guys together. That's plus
one thirty four. That's Ottawa Senators versus the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Mark Chenko has a really good run going right now,
and Bathson is a good head to head matchup guy
against Columbus car my new thing, and it's not really new,
but I'm mostly just focusing on this when it comes
to the points. Is head to head stuff, Like sometimes
certain players, for whatever reason, they play better against other teams,
you know, certain teams. I was gonna ask you today
on the show. Do you notice that ever in soccer?
Is that a soccer thing sometimes too or like where
for whatever reason in the you know, in the certain derby,
this guy always scores, or against this certain team, this
player scores, Like for whatever reason, Drake Batherson goes over
on shots, he scores, he gets points. He does very
well against the Columbus Blue Jackets. So mark Chenko and
Bathson together both to get a point.
Speaker 2: Is plus one thirty four? Not too bad?
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, yeah, you see it hockey.
Speaker 4: I think Andrew more than anything else you see, like
and we see it here in Toronto. There are so
many players that were born and raised in this area,
in different suburbs, whether it be north of Toronto or
what have you, Richmond Hill where Bennington is from. But
as far as the players go where they're making their
first or second appearance and they have so many family
members and friends at the game, they want to score.
They want to get shots on goal, and sometimes those
are the ones you get you have to take advantage of. Again,
it's knowing that going in it would be the same
thing as someone going into you know, some of the
other icons of NHL arenas. You know like Madison Square
Gardens who grew up in New York and is coming
in playing for another team and then all of his
family and friends are there. What was that guy want
to do? Is you want to play defensive game. He
wants to play a good game, but he wants to
get shots on goal. He wants to score. And sometimes
the coach understands that in a game in which might
get out of might be out of hand already. That
guy's getting a little extra ice time as well too,
which always helps. It's one of the biggest things with
shots on goalprops is you want to make sure your
guy is getting ice time. He's only getting eleven minutes.
You're not going to get there on some of these
over two and a halves, Andrew, I wish you the
luck on that pod play. I sorry on that same game,
Parlay the play. I might be asleep by the time
this game rolls around. I am going to the last
game of the night and I am taking the over
in the first period between the Buffalo Sabers and Vancouver Canucks.
It is one and a half minus one thirty.
Speaker 3: Is that number?
Speaker 4: We need to get a win here, boys, and this
is how we're going to get it. We'll see who
the starting goalies are as of now.
Speaker 2: For TJ.
Speaker 4: Salvador, who's normally in the chat, it's Uko Pecca lucan
In likely for the Buffalo Sabers, and I think making
his return finally off the injury list was he came
off the IR yesterday if I if I'm correct, it
is thatcher Demko who likely could start his first start,
and Juie saw when he came back from an injury
last year his first couple starts weren't the sharpest ones
for him. I'm hoping these two teams can score some goals.
The Sabers nine to four with first period overs on
the road this season, seven and three their last ten
games with first period overs over one and a half
minus one thirty is the pod play for today, Andrew.
Two plays up in soccer for me today, I swept
the board yesterday with all my plays. Two plays up
in soccer the Europa League champion, the Europa League tournament
going on right now, and two plays up in the NHL,
including a best bet selection as well to yesterday's four
percent best bet. It was three to three, four minutes
into the second period over six. That was an easy winner.
Didn't even have to watch the rest of that game.
So with that said, Andrew, that's what I have.
Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 4: Pick up that forty nine dollars play, forty nine dollars package.
We're number two in the at wager talk in the NHL,
number one. The last three days, seven days, thirty days
were on a good run in the na Let's keep
it going, Andrew, promote yourself one last time and take
us out.
Speaker 2: Carm. You are rolling.
Speaker 1: As old school pres would say, guys, don't forget that
three day pass. Use it for Karm he's doing really
really well. And for me, don't bother with the five
percent play. Just grab this three day pass. That's the
way to go. This is the best idea, and I
think it's a really really good play and one that
I've thought out for a couple of days now. It's
a good scheduling spot and a good statistical spot as well.
Speaker 2: Let's make some money in the NHL tonight. Guys.
Speaker 1: I don't usually like asking for likes on videos. If
you've made it this far, it's been a real productive show.
Hit the like button. Let's try and get to one
hundred and seventy five likes at least at least if
you guys cary about us, we'll get two seventy five,
but we'll see that for another day. Five percent play guys.
Buster has won, Brian has won, and Carmine has been rolling.
Make sure you grab that three day deal. Best of luck, guys,
that will do it. Puck time for today. We'll see
you Friday morning, same time, same place,
