1
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: It is Wednesday. Welcome to another edition of Puck Time.

2
00:00:07,599 --> 00:00:11,400
Hey luck who just decided to tune in. Andrew McInnis

3
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:16,440
always great to see him coming on, well prepared, well dressed,

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:22,399
well groomed, but it is Wednesday, busy card for us.

5
00:00:22,399 --> 00:00:26,160
Tonight we have Brian Leonard in the hot seat today.

6
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,000
Andrew and I are going to talk about the Islanders

7
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:32,560
and the Ducks a big one tonight. Brian's going to

8
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,200
talk about the Vegas Golden Knights against the Red Wings.

9
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,399
We'll see if he gets called into human resources in

10
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,880
Detroit about his one there. He's also going to give

11
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,600
us some feedback on the Islanders and Ducks game as

12
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,719
well too, so that'll be an added bonus from him.

13
00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:52,320
Leafs and in New Jersey two teams going nowhere. But

14
00:00:52,359 --> 00:00:55,479
we got to talk about him because the other games

15
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,320
some inflated lines on those ones. Andrew with some winners

16
00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:03,280
same game, partly some player props a pod play pod

17
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,280
Play gets there. Yesterday I talked about the fact that

18
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,799
the Edmonton Oilers and have averaged nine goals in their

19
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,799
games their last six games at home, well five four

20
00:01:13,879 --> 00:01:16,319
final another nine goals in one of their games that

21
00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:19,480
goes over the total pod play hits. We're gonna try

22
00:01:19,519 --> 00:01:23,200
and get over eight K today and we're gonna then

23
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,000
close it off with some promos and stuff. But let's

24
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,480
bring in our beloved Andrew mckinnis the he's a little tired.

25
00:01:31,519 --> 00:01:35,799
I think he stayed up to watch the Anaheim Sorry

26
00:01:35,879 --> 00:01:40,200
the was it? The Sharks? The Sharks and the Canadians. Andrew,

27
00:01:40,239 --> 00:01:44,079
that game was bumping, man. And when Montreal tied it up,

28
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,959
they were just buzzing that game. They were just buzzing.

29
00:01:52,719 --> 00:01:54,640
I don't know what to tell you, man, They just

30
00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:57,719
could not get it. Askarov made a couple of mistakes

31
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,120
in goal for San Jose, but a game.

32
00:02:02,319 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: I wasn't happy, karm.

33
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 3: You say, right two.

34
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 4: Am local time for me, and I see them give

35
00:02:11,159 --> 00:02:15,080
up seven goals, seven goals, and I'm up till two

36
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,400
in the morning watching that so and the worst part

37
00:02:17,439 --> 00:02:19,400
is almost like a gut punch because you're down. I

38
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,719
think it was five two or four to two, and

39
00:02:21,759 --> 00:02:24,199
they come back and tie the game, only to give

40
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,719
up two more after that. It's almost like you'd rather

41
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,960
watch your team lose five to nothing than to make

42
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,080
it that dramatic and then end up losing. So I

43
00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:37,560
fell asleep listening to a postgame show talking about them

44
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:38,960
the loss.

45
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 2: So that's how you know it wasn't going.

46
00:02:41,199 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 4: Wow, I fall asleep listening to a postgame show talking

47
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,719
about how bad they looked last night.

48
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: But dude, I'm never going to fall asleep listening to

49
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,840
a postgame show. One of our beloved leaders and owners

50
00:02:55,879 --> 00:03:01,199
of wager Talk, Johnny Detroit, he knows that I have

51
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,719
trouble sleeping at night. Sometimes I get insomnia. He sent

52
00:03:05,759 --> 00:03:08,240
me a link and I bought this thing off of Amazon.

53
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:11,400
It is absolutely the best. It is like a sleep mask,

54
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,800
but it has the speakers in your phone, and the

55
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,599
speakers on the side where your ears are aren't bulky,

56
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,599
so you can because I sleep on my side, so

57
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,039
you can sleep on your side and feel no discomfort.

58
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:31,120
And then it connects to your phone by Bluetooth, of course,

59
00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:33,159
and then you can listen to any one of the

60
00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:36,080
sleep apps. That's what I'll do. I'm not listening to

61
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,879
hockey while I'm trying to fall asleep. I'm listening to

62
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,439
like the ocean, the rain. I can't listen to the rain, though,

63
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:44,840
you wonder why I can't listen to the rain because

64
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:47,879
I'm Italian. When you listen to the rain, it sounds

65
00:03:47,919 --> 00:03:52,639
like someone is frying up cutlets. It's just like now

66
00:03:52,759 --> 00:03:57,319
then I get hungry, So it's what it is, man.

67
00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:02,879
But I will I very rarely, Andrew, come on, I

68
00:04:02,919 --> 00:04:05,039
talk more about losses than they do about wins, not

69
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,840
because I have more losses than wins. I just don't

70
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,719
like to brag. But I want to thank everyone who

71
00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:14,000
followed along on my five percent play yesterday, the Buffalo

72
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,040
sabers and knocking off the Vegas Golden Knights up three nothing.

73
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,279
It looked like, uh, we could be home and cooled,

74
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,839
but Vegas responded three two finals. It made for a

75
00:04:24,879 --> 00:04:29,120
little little tightness in the wrong areas of the body,

76
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:34,040
but yet we got the win my five dollars customer

77
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,279
appreciation play. I'm pretty peeved about that. At over six

78
00:04:38,319 --> 00:04:41,399
in the Tampa game and finished five to one, so

79
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,160
a push there. Thank god, John Cooper does what John

80
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:48,639
Cooper does and pulls his goalie down three goals with

81
00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:51,199
five minutes left. Because those four to one games, Andrew,

82
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,560
we talk about all the time, and the other coach

83
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,360
is not pulling his goalie on the road down four

84
00:04:57,399 --> 00:04:59,959
to one with five minutes left, they're just not doing it.

85
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,480
But Cooper did it. I got an emptynight goal I'm

86
00:05:03,519 --> 00:05:06,360
kind of happy for with a push and we move on.

87
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, great call by you, KRM.

88
00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 4: It's it's it's you know, not often that you can

89
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:15,759
have a five percent best bet and it also be

90
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,399
on your favorite team and a team that's playing so

91
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,319
incredibly well. Uh unless you're the Prayers, because I'll take

92
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,079
the overrun five percent plays on the.

93
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: Maple leaves that he's had. But we'll say that for

94
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,600
a different time. But you know, for you.

95
00:05:29,519 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 4: To to look at the Buffalo and I know that

96
00:05:31,319 --> 00:05:33,959
I think I think Brian had them as well for

97
00:05:34,079 --> 00:05:34,920
how they're playing.

98
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 2: You know, to just look at the analytics and look

99
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:38,040
at this team.

100
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 4: And I said to you the last time we spoke,

101
00:05:40,079 --> 00:05:41,600
is this team ever gonna stop winning?

102
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: Can they stop? Can they stop winning? Please?

103
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,199
Speaker 4: All of a sudden, they were a couple of months ago,

104
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,079
they were nearly last in the in the conference, in

105
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,560
the division, and now they're second wild card spot in

106
00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:54,199
the division.

107
00:05:54,199 --> 00:05:55,399
Speaker 2: It feels like they're not losing it.

108
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,079
Speaker 4: Also, great call by you, and for me, I'll tell you,

109
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,199
I told people yesterday I had a five dollars play.

110
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,279
It was my over of the day and I always said,

111
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,560
he who doesn't like betting overs? And we hit it

112
00:06:08,399 --> 00:06:11,240
halfway through the game. We hit it at the ten

113
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,800
minute mark of the second period, so that was nice.

114
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,199
With Dallas and Calgary over five and a half. The

115
00:06:18,199 --> 00:06:20,120
funny thing is, I will say, you know, I'm usually

116
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,959
a team totals guy. I realistically could have just taken

117
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,600
Dallas's team total because they did all the work. I

118
00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:28,680
think it was six to one final or something six

119
00:06:28,759 --> 00:06:31,199
to two, but hey, we'll take that. It was a

120
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,000
one and two day for me, but I was happy

121
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,519
to hit the big one for all the customers. So

122
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,600
a couple four percent winners in a row. But I

123
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:40,959
did lose with Tampa and I did lose with the

124
00:06:40,959 --> 00:06:42,160
first period over.

125
00:06:42,399 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 2: In the Vegas game on it.

126
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 4: But man Vegas second half of back to back today,

127
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,120
now we'll see what they can do. But back to

128
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:54,600
back performances where they just looked flat offensively.

129
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: Yeah they did. You know, Mark Stone out of the

130
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,839
lineup as well to Brian's going to have some thoughts

131
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,160
coming up very shortly. You and I will probably kick

132
00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:07,079
it off with the Islanders and Ducks and we can

133
00:07:07,079 --> 00:07:09,040
bring him. Brian for his thoughts as well too on

134
00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:13,560
that one. But yeah, Andrew some some some crazy games

135
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,920
yesterday across the NHL, and then we're trying to follow

136
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,920
the news. This is what makes the next two or

137
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,000
three days very tough to handicap is and why I

138
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,839
released my plays a little bit later, or if if

139
00:07:28,879 --> 00:07:32,079
I'm not worried about not about like the trade deadline

140
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,839
with with some teams. But you look at like the

141
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,759
Robert Thomas the news, you know out of Saint Louis.

142
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:45,279
Will he be moved today? Will they wait until Friday? Well,

143
00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:47,040
we made to be seen. You know, there was thoughts

144
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,639
he was going to go to the Sabers. But they're

145
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,480
asking too much from the Savers. They want to like

146
00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:53,000
Owen Power a second round draft pick and then another

147
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,519
player as well too. I just don't see that happening.

148
00:07:55,519 --> 00:08:00,160
The asking price is too high. Bbrovski Florida said today

149
00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:04,399
they're entertaining calls on Brebroska because he's an unrestricted free agent.

150
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,959
And Brian and I talked about that in the green

151
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,360
room before the show. Is it's one of those things.

152
00:08:11,439 --> 00:08:14,000
He has sixteen teams that he will not go to

153
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,959
and I'm gonna guess that seven of them or eight

154
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,480
of them are in Canada, all the canad teens. He's

155
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,839
not gonna come north of the border. The Edminton Oiders

156
00:08:23,839 --> 00:08:26,360
could probably use him because Connor Ingram just looks like

157
00:08:26,399 --> 00:08:27,720
a piece of Swiss cheese.

158
00:08:29,079 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 4: We had to mention the Oilers last night, car and

159
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,360
we have to. I know, we got to get the

160
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:35,000
show going. And some people that watch the show they

161
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,200
like to hear the hockey talk from us, and some

162
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,200
people that watch the show they just like the picks.

163
00:08:40,279 --> 00:08:43,399
But we have to talk about the Oilers for a second.

164
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,720
You mentioned Connor Ingram, you mentioned Brabrovski. I think it

165
00:08:46,759 --> 00:08:49,440
will be I always love goalie trades. I just find

166
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,840
goalie trades are I don't know, there's just something more

167
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,480
cool about them than a player trade. But yeah, I

168
00:08:55,519 --> 00:08:59,039
do think Lebrowski could go to some other team. But man,

169
00:08:59,159 --> 00:09:03,440
oh man, this Oiler's team, Like, I don't want to

170
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,200
get canceled by saying this here and hopefully I get

171
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,240
on YouTube, we are allowed to say this here. But

172
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,200
who needs drugs when you can just watch an Edmonton

173
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,559
Oilers game like Edmonton Oiler fans.

174
00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:17,159
Speaker 2: I don't know how you sleep at night.

175
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,279
Speaker 4: I don't know how these fans are able to just

176
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,879
go to bed after what, Like you don't even need

177
00:09:21,919 --> 00:09:25,320
to do anything but watch these games if you're in

178
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,879
a bad mood, if you need some energy, These guys,

179
00:09:27,919 --> 00:09:30,679
if they're tired before work, before going to the gym,

180
00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:32,600
just tossed on an Oilers game.

181
00:09:32,919 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 2: They'll get your heart beating. Because like, there.

182
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,159
Speaker 4: Wasn't a doubt in my mind when they were down

183
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,000
four to two that that game was still going to

184
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,799
be a good one. And it's like, could you imagine

185
00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:46,720
if Leon dry Title and Connor McDavid had a good defense?

186
00:09:46,919 --> 00:09:49,240
Could you imagine Karma if they had a good defense

187
00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:50,960
or goalie?

188
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's Andrew. I don't know what to say.

189
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,000
I mean, they had a couple decent defensemen, I think

190
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,840
to end up going to the Blues, didn't they I

191
00:10:04,919 --> 00:10:06,840
just I just don't get it with this team. They're

192
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,480
they're almost a I don't want to call him a

193
00:10:10,519 --> 00:10:14,679
carbon copy of the Toronto Maple Leafs, but they're just

194
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:20,200
top heavy. Uh. The Pittsburgh Penguins, as good as they play,

195
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,360
I've put together a team which you know that their

196
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,519
six defensemen are very good. I like them. You know,

197
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:31,559
they don't need Cale mccarr, they don't need Bouchard, they

198
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,519
don't They have defensemen who are stay at home who

199
00:10:36,519 --> 00:10:39,559
could but also move the puck and uh and and

200
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,919
this is why they're they've been successful this season on

201
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,879
a team that's supposed to be aging. You know, I mean,

202
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,039
like malcoln As we talk about the trade deadline, and

203
00:10:50,039 --> 00:10:52,000
I'll end it here real quick with this one, but

204
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,080
you look at Malcolm and he's likely going to get moved,

205
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,799
that's what they're talking about. So hard to believe that

206
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,480
a Pittsburgh team that's playing so well right now would

207
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,440
move Malcolm. But he's not part of their plans moving forward,

208
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,639
so you move him now. It's so interesting what's going

209
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,039
on in Pittsburgh and what's gonna happen in Pittsburgh. So

210
00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:13,320
we'll see what happens there. But Andrew, the first six

211
00:11:13,399 --> 00:11:18,600
games yesterday all had five of the six games all

212
00:11:18,639 --> 00:11:21,639
had at least two goals in the first period, and

213
00:11:21,799 --> 00:11:24,320
five of the six games went under the total. The

214
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,840
Boston game had three goals in the first six minutes,

215
00:11:28,039 --> 00:11:30,639
two to one for the Bruins, and the game ended

216
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,399
two to one. It just reminds me of what you said.

217
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,799
Sometimes you get the goals in the first period, you

218
00:11:36,799 --> 00:11:39,279
could take the first period over and then the full

219
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:44,559
game under. And to your point, you're banging there. But listen,

220
00:11:44,639 --> 00:11:46,919
let's get to it minus one ten, Let's bring in

221
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,559
Brian Leonard, Ducks and the Islanders minus won ten both ways.

222
00:11:51,919 --> 00:11:55,440
Total sits here at six and a half. Where are

223
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:56,600
you going with this one? Andrew?

224
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll tell you Karen Mike, Yes, yesterday with my overplay,

225
00:12:02,039 --> 00:12:04,879
I had Dallas second half of back to back, and

226
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,759
I know that we will say that this stuff is.

227
00:12:08,759 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: Baked into the number.

228
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 4: You know, people are already aware of of of the

229
00:12:13,879 --> 00:12:16,639
you know of of you know who played yesterday, and

230
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,039
the odds makers know and stuff. But at the end

231
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,960
of the day, there's sometimes there are just these back

232
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,240
to back spots that work out well for you that

233
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,360
you want to jump in on.

234
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 2: And I think this is one of them.

235
00:12:26,919 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 4: You know, you look yesterday at the the Ducks for

236
00:12:31,759 --> 00:12:35,320
playing already, you look at this Islanders team, I think

237
00:12:35,399 --> 00:12:38,519
overall that's been playing some a lot better offensive hockey

238
00:12:38,519 --> 00:12:40,960
than people think. But then when you look at the

239
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:46,039
goaltending situation for today, Uh, Dave Riddick has not been good.

240
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,440
Big save Dave has been small save Dave because krm,

241
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,399
he's not saving any shots right now. If you look

242
00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:56,799
at the the goaltender matchup, it's not very favorable right now.

243
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,399
And then you look, of course over on the Anaheims side,

244
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,279
and because they're playing second half of back to back,

245
00:13:03,639 --> 00:13:06,559
they have to go to Billy Husso and Lucas Dstall,

246
00:13:06,639 --> 00:13:09,559
as we all know, is the much better goaltender. So

247
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,240
looking at all the advanced metrics I like to use,

248
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:17,440
look at the last couple games, last three games, Billy

249
00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:21,519
Husso near the bottom for a lot of stuff. Expected

250
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:26,279
goals against per game up towards three point eight to

251
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,960
two or higher, which is not good. So goaltending wise

252
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:35,120
as it is, makes me like the over now offensive output.

253
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,159
The Islanders do struggle a little bit more offensively when

254
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,759
they are on the road. However, Anaheim ticks it up

255
00:13:40,759 --> 00:13:43,679
a lot more when they're at home. However, it is

256
00:13:43,919 --> 00:13:46,279
second half of back to back for them. For the

257
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,960
New York Islanders, it's front half of back to back

258
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,200
for them. So for people wondering why Soroken will not

259
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,279
be between the pipes tonight. They're preparing for the matchup tomorrow.

260
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:01,799
It's interesting, Carm. We've seen coaches do this in the past,

261
00:14:01,919 --> 00:14:05,120
where they decide that we want to put our better

262
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,360
goaltender when our team is tired, instead of having our

263
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,000
better goaltender out there when the team is fresh and

264
00:14:11,039 --> 00:14:14,360
they're feeling good. So I like the over here. You know,

265
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,879
I think the Islanders are a sneaky team offensively right now.

266
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,639
They have been playing in some high scoring games. It's

267
00:14:20,679 --> 00:14:23,759
hard to talk anybody out of any exciting talk when

268
00:14:23,759 --> 00:14:26,039
it comes to the Anaheim Ducks right now and what

269
00:14:26,159 --> 00:14:27,120
they're able to do.

270
00:14:27,639 --> 00:14:28,759
Speaker 2: And one thing.

271
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 4: That I said to you yesterday with Buster was you know,

272
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,720
this team, this team, it kind of will come back

273
00:14:35,759 --> 00:14:36,799
to bite them a bit that.

274
00:14:36,759 --> 00:14:37,879
Speaker 2: They give up early goals.

275
00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 4: Like if you look at the games out of the

276
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,440
break for the Ducks, they had to come back in

277
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,279
a handful of games, right like, they weren't necessarily winning

278
00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:50,080
the games the whole way, So that can cost you.

279
00:14:50,159 --> 00:14:52,200
So the total is six and a half for a reason.

280
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,799
Give me the over in this game here, Karl.

281
00:14:56,879 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: I intend to grief you and some you know, very

282
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,200
good points from Andrew, you know, as far as like

283
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,639
the goaltending matchups and looking forward to the games that

284
00:15:05,679 --> 00:15:09,080
are tomorrow for them as well too. You know, the

285
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,559
Ducks got buried. The dad joke is they got buried

286
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,559
under an avalanche yesterday. But I like a player prop.

287
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,200
This is where we're reversed because normally would be me

288
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,600
taking the over undering you with a player prop. First

289
00:15:23,639 --> 00:15:25,879
of all, here's like the easiest one hundred dollars you

290
00:15:25,879 --> 00:15:30,799
would ever make in your life, and that is but

291
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,440
you have to wait till the end of the season.

292
00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:37,399
Matthew Schaeffer to win the Calder Trophy. Now you have

293
00:15:37,399 --> 00:15:39,679
to put eight thousand dollars down to win one hundred.

294
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,240
But it's a they're giving you a three hundred dollars.

295
00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:45,799
I'm never going to make that bet. The guy is

296
00:15:46,039 --> 00:15:52,080
just unbelievable. Twenty goals, he is minus eight thousand to

297
00:15:52,159 --> 00:15:56,879
win the Calder is unbelievable. I'm going to take him

298
00:15:56,879 --> 00:16:00,080
to score tonight on Billy whoso He is going to

299
00:16:00,159 --> 00:16:03,559
light up Billy. Billy, don't you lose my number? I

300
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,480
think it's Billy, but we'll go with Villy plus three

301
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:11,000
to ninety. Matthew Schaeffer to score tonight anytime goal. How

302
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,559
do you like them? Apples? He's got twenty goals this year.

303
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,639
Speaker 4: He has been unbelievable. He has been unbelievable. Carm You know,

304
00:16:18,679 --> 00:16:21,279
it's hard to say because you know what. They were

305
00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:24,559
a Nathan McKinnon goal away. They were a Devonte's goal away.

306
00:16:24,639 --> 00:16:28,840
They were an a five on three goal away. But man,

307
00:16:28,879 --> 00:16:31,600
they could have used him on the Canada Olympic team.

308
00:16:31,879 --> 00:16:34,159
They definitely could have used it. And before I go

309
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,080
on a rant about that, let's bring in mister b

310
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,200
l who had a pretty good day with us yesterday

311
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,159
on the show. And before he gets to me about this,

312
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,799
I'll just tell you right now, Brian, you got me

313
00:16:44,799 --> 00:16:47,679
with the Minnesota game, the nice underdog winner by you,

314
00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:48,480
and I believe you.

315
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:49,799
Speaker 2: Had Buffalo as well.

316
00:16:49,879 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 4: So in our own ways, I think it's a day

317
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,480
that the three of us could be happy yesterday hitting

318
00:16:56,519 --> 00:16:58,639
some plays that we were pretty confident in.

319
00:16:59,279 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, up the board for clients yesterday, and we want

320
00:17:03,039 --> 00:17:06,200
our free play here worked out exactly the way we

321
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,839
draw it up. We talked about it, so that will

322
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:09,240
work out.

323
00:17:09,279 --> 00:17:09,559
Speaker 1: Well.

324
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 3: Are you sure the is it been? Soroke is not

325
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,079
playing Tony or is that just a feeling they announced.

326
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: On rotal wire right now it's showing confirmed for Riddick.

327
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,599
I'm on a different site and so okay, yeah and

328
00:17:28,759 --> 00:17:34,480
uh and it's the expected is Villi husso, but it

329
00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:38,000
shows Ridick confirmed. Now. I know with like rotal wire,

330
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,079
one of the ones that you normally have up on

331
00:17:40,079 --> 00:17:43,920
the screen when we're doing these shows that on a

332
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,279
couple of occasions throughout the season, I've seen a goalie

333
00:17:47,319 --> 00:17:52,119
being confirmed and then changed a little later. So but

334
00:17:52,279 --> 00:17:56,680
all indications are that given rotal wire, we'll look at

335
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,319
the goalie post and some of the other ones a

336
00:17:58,319 --> 00:18:02,799
little later, but that he is tonight's a starter because on.

337
00:18:02,799 --> 00:18:08,279
Speaker 3: Goaliepost right now it's got soroken probable, but it's as

338
00:18:08,319 --> 00:18:11,240
early and anything can happen as the day goes on.

339
00:18:11,759 --> 00:18:13,839
I didn't want to touch on this game myself. I

340
00:18:13,839 --> 00:18:16,119
don't have much of an opinion in the game, although

341
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,319
I will say that the Islanders have had the last

342
00:18:19,319 --> 00:18:24,519
two days off and so they've got the scheduling advantage

343
00:18:24,559 --> 00:18:29,240
here third game of four days for Anaheim. But what

344
00:18:29,279 --> 00:18:31,000
I wanted to point out was these are two teams

345
00:18:31,079 --> 00:18:35,599
right now that I think are really live. In fact,

346
00:18:35,799 --> 00:18:40,640
I think this Islanders team has gone under the wire

347
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,599
of most people on the season. In fact, I was

348
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,119
at sportsbook the other day and I was looking over

349
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,880
the futures and they had the Islanders a seventy five

350
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:55,240
to one to win the championship. With the goaltending that

351
00:18:55,319 --> 00:18:59,519
they have, with great goaltender, I think this is a

352
00:18:59,559 --> 00:19:01,599
team you're looking to play a long shot.

353
00:19:02,279 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm not.

354
00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 3: Talking about a ten to one or whatever, but if

355
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,240
you want to put a couple of shekels, as they say,

356
00:19:07,599 --> 00:19:11,319
on a long shot, I wouldn't I wouldn't think that

357
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,160
the Islanders would be a team that a lot of

358
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,839
people would bet, which is why we're getting seventy five

359
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,759
to one. I haven't shopped at around to see anybody

360
00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:22,480
or anywhere else, but this turned into a really good

361
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,920
hockey team this year, and anybody in the East from

362
00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:28,240
one down. I mean, I talked about yesterday how Tampa

363
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,759
I think it's the best team. But because Carolina's suffered

364
00:19:31,799 --> 00:19:34,559
so much in the playoffs, this is really all open

365
00:19:35,319 --> 00:19:38,440
in the East, and I think the Islanders got it.

366
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,960
It's seventy five to one. I think it's worthy worthy.

367
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 2: Of bet.

368
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: All right, I like it, Brian. You know, the game

369
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,160
in itself is interesting because the Islanders are just playing

370
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,000
so well. The Ducks were playing extremely well before they

371
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,880
but they caught a very good Avalanche team, and you

372
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,640
can't take penalties to the Avalanche, especially in the first period,

373
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,640
because if they once they score on you, they just

374
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,920
continue to score at cal mccarr just seems to be

375
00:20:08,039 --> 00:20:11,240
rounding into for him right now, and like even him

376
00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:14,599
for like the North Trophy. Up until a couple of

377
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,680
weeks ago, it was Wrenski that was the favor to

378
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,480
win the Norse Trophy, and now it's cal mccarr at

379
00:20:21,519 --> 00:20:25,200
plus one point fifteen, I think it is on DK.

380
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,519
So speaking of odds on DK, I'm gonna mention it again.

381
00:20:28,599 --> 00:20:32,519
The Vegas Golden Knights are now down to plus thirteen

382
00:20:32,599 --> 00:20:35,920
hundred to miss the playoffs. So I did bet it

383
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,880
on Vegas to miss the playoffs. I'm hoping to cash

384
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,519
a ticket on there because I will be catching that

385
00:20:42,559 --> 00:20:46,440
ticket by the time you arrive in Toronto for the

386
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,559
baseball game in April, so I'll have a few extra

387
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,240
bucks to spend on you there.

388
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 3: Rooting against my hockey team and then my baseball team

389
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,599
in Toronto when I'm up there, So yeah, it's pretty betting,

390
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:03,119
but yeah, it's it's it's very interesting. Yesterday we were

391
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,720
on here talking about it and Vegas is terrible in

392
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:09,039
the first period, and that's why I used them as

393
00:21:09,079 --> 00:21:12,119
my free play. But if you've watched them all along,

394
00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:15,480
they fall behind and then they come back, and that's

395
00:21:15,519 --> 00:21:17,720
exactly what they did yesterday. They looked really good in

396
00:21:17,759 --> 00:21:20,039
the second and third period. They were the better team,

397
00:21:20,079 --> 00:21:23,720
I thought in the second and third period. But Vegas

398
00:21:23,799 --> 00:21:25,359
is a team playing in the second of a back

399
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,400
to back, and surprisingly being a veteran team, they're actually

400
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,640
five and two in the second of a back to

401
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,279
back on the season. But if you go back to

402
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,640
when I came on after the break and I said,

403
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,759
looking at how the teams set up, if you're playing

404
00:21:41,839 --> 00:21:45,119
in conference, those games are much more important than the

405
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,920
out of conference games. They played the Kings, and of

406
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,000
course Vegas decided to give all the Olympias the time off.

407
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,720
They somehow beat the Kings in that game, so they

408
00:21:56,799 --> 00:21:59,359
got the most important game. So I said, that was

409
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,079
the most important game the gotament a plus price actually

410
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,640
pretty sizable plus price and then they've gone on the

411
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,240
road against the Eastern Eastern Conference and I said we

412
00:22:09,279 --> 00:22:12,039
would fade them in those games. They've lost them all.

413
00:22:12,759 --> 00:22:15,920
So why go against something that has worked so well

414
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,759
for us as of late. I do want to go

415
00:22:19,799 --> 00:22:24,039
against Vegas in this game. Vegas second game in back

416
00:22:24,079 --> 00:22:28,480
to back, third game in four days. Detroit a little

417
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,480
bit younger team fighting for the playoffs there, and they're

418
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,880
more arrested than Vegas. And if you take a look,

419
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,880
like when I break down games, a team in the

420
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,279
second of a back to back against a team that's

421
00:22:41,319 --> 00:22:43,359
had the time off, you know, it's got to be

422
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,960
worth like twenty five cents in the line. So basically

423
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,000
you're looking at something would be a pick them the situation.

424
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,160
There's no way I could bet Vegas as a pick

425
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,599
them the way they're playing right now. So I like

426
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,319
Detroit here and I would have no problem playing Detroit

427
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,599
in the first period. Once again, let's go for the

428
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,240
pull game in this one. Is this gold Knights team

429
00:23:03,319 --> 00:23:07,720
Stone without Stone yesterday, even even as well as Vegas

430
00:23:07,759 --> 00:23:09,559
was able to skate, and there was if you watch

431
00:23:09,599 --> 00:23:12,079
that game, it was very up and down the entire time.

432
00:23:12,559 --> 00:23:14,200
And that's the way Buffalo wanted to play because it

433
00:23:14,319 --> 00:23:16,440
being the younger team, and in Vegas did it. And

434
00:23:16,519 --> 00:23:20,359
Vegas looked really good in that regard, but the passing

435
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,319
was not very sharp without Stone in that game, and

436
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,880
I talked about it. They're not the same team without Stone.

437
00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:29,480
Without his ability. He's like a point guard in the NHL,

438
00:23:30,079 --> 00:23:33,440
and for his ability on both the offensive defense to

439
00:23:33,519 --> 00:23:36,599
be able to UH, to get those pucks and put

440
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,920
them where they need to be. I really don't think

441
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,039
he's gonna play here. He didn't play yesterday. Why bring

442
00:23:41,079 --> 00:23:43,240
him back now? Give him, you know, give him another

443
00:23:43,319 --> 00:23:45,880
day off. So I would expect him not to play.

444
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,359
They did make a little trade yesterday. It brought in

445
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,440
somebody from UH Nashville. He he may make the lineup.

446
00:23:53,519 --> 00:23:56,200
So you're also getting a guy who's never played with

447
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,440
them before, being on the four string or fourth, you know,

448
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,200
the fourth UH listening. So I will see how it goes.

449
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:08,920
But they, according to they want to decide. I was

450
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,960
just talking about they think Kiri Schmith's coming back. I

451
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,039
can't believe that. He didn't look good, but and I'm

452
00:24:16,079 --> 00:24:18,079
sure they'd like to get it back there. But you know,

453
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,000
Hill hasn't looked good either, So they need to get

454
00:24:20,039 --> 00:24:24,119
Hill back in there. And Vegas is even worse with

455
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,559
Hill right now. So I like to try in this game.

456
00:24:27,319 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: So a question for both of you guys. So the

457
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:32,400
I don't want to I don't want to be the

458
00:24:32,759 --> 00:24:37,920
sky is falling on the Vegas Golden Knights. But uh,

459
00:24:38,279 --> 00:24:40,960
if they had to lose tonight, so they goer and

460
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,200
four on the East coast, they return home and they

461
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,519
play Minnesota and the Edminton Oiters and then make a

462
00:24:47,599 --> 00:24:50,480
quick trip to Dallas and then have to come home

463
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,240
to face Pittsburgh. I think a day two days later.

464
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,920
Can that the first three games the Minnesota, the Edmonton

465
00:25:01,039 --> 00:25:03,519
and Dallas If they're loose and I could get out

466
00:25:03,559 --> 00:25:05,880
of hand in this four game losing street turn into

467
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,119
seven games. It could be.

468
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 3: Those are teams that are very good. And right after

469
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,160
they play Pittsburgh they play Chicago. But then they got

470
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,519
Buffalo again, and they got Utah, who's playing really good

471
00:25:16,519 --> 00:25:19,319
hockey right now. So yeah, they've got a really tough

472
00:25:19,319 --> 00:25:22,440
schedule this month. The only bad teams really that they're playing,

473
00:25:23,039 --> 00:25:27,240
if you consider I don't know any Vancouver's bad, they

474
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,039
play them on the thirtieth, but they also play Chicago.

475
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,759
They play Chicago in Nashville and Washington on the next

476
00:25:34,839 --> 00:25:37,759
three Saturdays. Those teams have not been playing that great,

477
00:25:37,799 --> 00:25:39,920
but yeah, they've got a lot of good teams. They

478
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:45,039
got to play against. Oiler it's twice Utah, Dallas, twice

479
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,640
Buffalo again. So this is a tough schedule for them.

480
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,279
We'll see how it goes. But yeah, right now, it's

481
00:25:53,319 --> 00:25:55,720
not as cut and dry as it was just two

482
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,039
weeks ago for Vegas.

483
00:25:57,319 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 4: It's funny how depth works, because you you need your

484
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,400
depth the most when you actually are missing your key players.

485
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,359
But it seemed like the depth was showing up the

486
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,599
most when it didn't even need to for Vegas, like

487
00:26:09,039 --> 00:26:11,359
some of these other guys were scoring when it was

488
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,160
like already a four to one game, you know, and

489
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,799
they'd make it five one or six. You know, it's like, hey,

490
00:26:15,839 --> 00:26:18,319
we need you guys to score these goals. Now, this

491
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,799
is when we need you the most, you know, And

492
00:26:20,799 --> 00:26:23,960
then they're not showing up as much. So I think guys,

493
00:26:24,799 --> 00:26:28,559
one thing that I might have miscalculated was that when

494
00:26:28,559 --> 00:26:31,920
the Olympics were what ended, I was looking to fade

495
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,319
teams with a ton of Olympians for the first game

496
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,640
or two. But the funny thing is it seems like

497
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,880
it's almost like those first games back for them, they

498
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,960
were okay. But then there's been a couple of games

499
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,599
after that where some of these teams with Olympians haven't

500
00:26:47,599 --> 00:26:51,119
looked great overall. Like if you look at all the

501
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,079
guys that were at the Olympics that played extremely well,

502
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,799
I mean, I guess besides like Celebrini and stuff, but like,

503
00:26:57,799 --> 00:26:58,759
like I'll speak for.

504
00:26:58,720 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: My Montreal Canadians.

505
00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:02,559
Speaker 4: Nick Suzuki's a guy that I don't usually have a

506
00:27:02,559 --> 00:27:04,680
bad thing to say about. He didn't look great last night.

507
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,160
Your I s Levkovski has not looked great. Slevkovski was

508
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,559
named to the top five All Olympic team, you know,

509
00:27:12,759 --> 00:27:15,519
and you look at the Golden Knights, you know, Mark

510
00:27:15,559 --> 00:27:18,240
Stone with the LTI R. Jack Eichel just partied for

511
00:27:18,279 --> 00:27:21,480
four straight days, you know, Noah Hanafin, some of these

512
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,960
guys right, Like, it's it's interesting because we thought that

513
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,119
NHL general managers would not be happy during the tournament,

514
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,680
But guys, what if they're not happy after the tournament

515
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,880
because these players there, they're not in the same mindset.

516
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,680
They maybe were before, Because let's be real here. If

517
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,759
you're Jack Gichel, you're on top of the world for

518
00:27:41,799 --> 00:27:44,519
a couple of days, and now you go back to Vegas,

519
00:27:44,799 --> 00:27:47,319
right and all of a sudden your team's losing Carmen,

520
00:27:47,319 --> 00:27:50,079
it's a little bit tougher. So if you're a GM

521
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,440
right now and you're watching your best players not look

522
00:27:52,519 --> 00:27:55,720
that great and they just played well for the Olympics,

523
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,640
if I was the owner or a GM of a team,

524
00:27:58,680 --> 00:27:59,839
I'd be a bit discouraged.

525
00:28:02,279 --> 00:28:07,039
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I think you have to be. Uh it, Listen,

526
00:28:07,599 --> 00:28:11,319
we're every year we get to this point, Andrew, before

527
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,039
the trade deadline, where we get into like uncharged waters,

528
00:28:15,599 --> 00:28:20,200
and opinions just go from like your narrative is here,

529
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,160
and then all of a sudden, you see what is

530
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,599
happening in the news, and your narrative kind of goes

531
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,160
off to the side, and you're hoping, shit, I hope

532
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:32,079
nobody remembers what I said on Monday. I can't remember

533
00:28:32,079 --> 00:28:38,000
what I said about a half hour ago. So but Andrew,

534
00:28:38,039 --> 00:28:40,920
I just don't know. It is Uh yeah, you're making

535
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,640
some good points. You know, you talk about like the

536
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,720
depth and you know you started off with the depth

537
00:28:44,759 --> 00:28:49,640
and and and the Knights it is. It's it's one

538
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,680
thing that they they during their successful years and playoff runs,

539
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,400
and this is still a I want to call him

540
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,599
a new franchise because they haven't been in the league

541
00:29:00,599 --> 00:29:03,240
twenty plus years or forty fifty plus years like the

542
00:29:03,279 --> 00:29:08,119
Buffalo Savers have. But management has always seen to have

543
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,200
made the right calls with this Vegas Golden Knights team,

544
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,799
and I think they have. They have to look at

545
00:29:13,839 --> 00:29:16,720
what is happening right now and what is going to

546
00:29:16,759 --> 00:29:19,359
happen over the next five or six days with their

547
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,960
schedule and say, we need to make some changes because

548
00:29:23,599 --> 00:29:26,119
we're the boat has a little bit of a leak

549
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,359
in it. We don't want it to turn into like

550
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,839
a multiple leaks that we can't stop. So I think

551
00:29:33,119 --> 00:29:35,279
I think the Vegas Golden Knights are going to be

552
00:29:35,359 --> 00:29:40,079
active somehow on this at this trade deadline. Brian and

553
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,920
I still believe if it's an upper body injury with

554
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:48,440
Mark Stone, and the reports that I saw earlier today

555
00:29:48,559 --> 00:29:51,559
was it's his arm or something, but it would not

556
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:56,400
surprise me if he is on the long term injury

557
00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:02,079
reserve and they bring in some players or they make

558
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,119
some kind of a deal in which a team, whether

559
00:30:05,119 --> 00:30:07,599
it's a two team deal or a three team deal,

560
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,480
where someone eats up all of the cap space.

561
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 3: They They've made a few in the in the press here,

562
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,359
a lot of people are looking to get Marched so

563
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,720
back if if they take all that money, most of

564
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,440
the money in that Nashville has paid him, they'd love

565
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,519
to have him back. I'm sure, but I do want

566
00:30:26,519 --> 00:30:29,240
to point out I know they didn't. They rested them

567
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,720
when they played La. None of the guys who went

568
00:30:31,799 --> 00:30:34,319
to the Olympics has scored a goal for Vegas since

569
00:30:34,319 --> 00:30:37,839
they've been back, and like I said, I was saying,

570
00:30:38,039 --> 00:30:40,839
they just don't have the depth, especially of Doria and

571
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,720
barbershow are the two guys that they look for officially,

572
00:30:44,799 --> 00:30:46,400
And they've been very good, and they were good in

573
00:30:47,279 --> 00:30:49,759
every game they played so far since they've been back,

574
00:30:49,799 --> 00:30:52,960
but they just don't have enough scoring without without the

575
00:30:53,079 --> 00:30:55,039
guys who went to the Olympics. And if those guys

576
00:30:55,079 --> 00:30:57,759
are off on something, you know, there were a lot

577
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,279
there were a lot of open goals last night, a lot,

578
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:03,720
a lot of open ice, and normally they would have

579
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,799
a lot of success in that regard. Didn't happen last night,

580
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:12,359
So yeah, it's I'm not gonna I agree that Vegas

581
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,039
is probably gonna obviously going to turn it around a

582
00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:17,880
little bit, but you know, I don't want to stand

583
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,279
in front of that train right now. Take advantage of it.

584
00:31:20,519 --> 00:31:23,279
There's still be They're still being graded in the betting

585
00:31:23,319 --> 00:31:27,279
marketplace that they're a good team. And once again, to

586
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,359
add to what we talked about yesterday, they're now five

587
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,039
to twenty six against teams that are in playoff contention,

588
00:31:32,759 --> 00:31:37,279
so not not good. And by the way, Detroit has

589
00:31:37,319 --> 00:31:42,160
not had a home game since January, so this is

590
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:43,960
going to be a crazy night in Detroit.

591
00:31:45,359 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: This is the team.

592
00:31:46,359 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 3: They're real happy to see, their team of attention, and

593
00:31:50,039 --> 00:31:53,400
I expect the home advantage to be really strong tonight.

594
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,839
Speaker 2: The only thing we knew that Johnny Detroit.

595
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: Who knew that Johnny Detroit would have to get rid

596
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,319
of his season tickets before the the team became an

597
00:32:02,319 --> 00:32:07,759
elite competitors some Cleveland Brown season tickets for me.

598
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just asked the Detroit Lions how they feel

599
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,119
about that. But I will see I promote.

600
00:32:13,559 --> 00:32:16,079
Speaker 4: I just think Camp Talbot guys is a big factor.

601
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,440
So I feel like there's ever a game for them

602
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,519
to get goals, Brian, it could be today for Vegas.

603
00:32:20,519 --> 00:32:22,279
So I feel like, if you like Detroit, you like

604
00:32:22,319 --> 00:32:24,200
the over, I'm going to throw that out there. I

605
00:32:24,559 --> 00:32:27,720
think I never was a big goalie guy, but this

606
00:32:27,839 --> 00:32:29,759
year I've looked more into the goalie stuff, and I

607
00:32:29,799 --> 00:32:32,400
feel like there is a drop off from Gibson to Talbot.

608
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens.

609
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,519
Speaker 4: A bad time for Detroit to have a goaltender get injured,

610
00:32:37,759 --> 00:32:39,720
that's for sure, So we'll see. If they can't score

611
00:32:39,759 --> 00:32:43,000
goals on Camp Talbot, then Vegas is really in some

612
00:32:43,079 --> 00:32:43,720
trouble now.

613
00:32:43,759 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 2: But what do you have to promote for us?

614
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 3: Brian, Yeah, since we've halfway through the show or whatever.

615
00:32:50,119 --> 00:32:52,599
I do have a play in college basketball. It's the tournament.

616
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,599
Time we wanted a game this we went to it,

617
00:32:55,599 --> 00:32:59,200
oh yesterday, overall hockey and basketball. I do have a

618
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,079
playoff right now now. It starts in a half an

619
00:33:01,079 --> 00:33:03,400
hour twenty five minutes from now. So if you want

620
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,079
to get in on the early action, you pick that

621
00:33:05,119 --> 00:33:08,440
play up now. Still working on today's card, it'll be later.

622
00:33:08,519 --> 00:33:09,960
Just like Carl I was saying, I want to make

623
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,480
sure who the goalies are. I want to make sure

624
00:33:11,559 --> 00:33:14,319
he's playing, so we'll be putting our plays out later

625
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,799
on today. But once again, and I gave Busters some

626
00:33:19,039 --> 00:33:20,960
problem yesterday, so we both have the same kind of

627
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:25,359
special God. If you're looking for extended service Busters coming

628
00:33:25,359 --> 00:33:28,240
off a great day, I had the good day yesterday.

629
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,319
You can get either one of our packages right now,

630
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,599
our baseball and our hockey for the rest of the season.

631
00:33:34,799 --> 00:33:38,119
Those packages are up right now, and take a look

632
00:33:38,119 --> 00:33:39,400
at that. You can save a lot of money in

633
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,119
that regard. And we also have the buy three, get

634
00:33:42,119 --> 00:33:44,559
three free. A lot a great time to save some

635
00:33:44,599 --> 00:33:47,559
money here on the Wager Talk. And I appreciate being

636
00:33:47,599 --> 00:33:49,400
on the show again, guys, and good luck to you.

637
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:55,279
Speaker 1: Love having you on, Brian as always, man, And yes,

638
00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:00,680
Buster's probably listlean from the beach there in Mexico. And

639
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:05,799
I can't believe these guys are pimping baseball, but you

640
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,360
have a great season each and every year when Buster's on,

641
00:34:08,519 --> 00:34:11,480
I will promote him as well too. But we appreciate

642
00:34:11,519 --> 00:34:14,239
you coming on. Kill it the rest of the NHL season,

643
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,960
and of course baseball, which is right around the corner.

644
00:34:17,559 --> 00:34:17,920
Thank you.

645
00:34:18,039 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 2: Good ockys, All right, right, take care, brother, Andrew.

646
00:34:21,679 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: I got some news for you.

647
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:24,199
Speaker 2: It is.

648
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: It's not breaking.

649
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,039
Speaker 2: News, but yeah for me.

650
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: But how would you like this deal to happen? Are

651
00:34:31,519 --> 00:34:33,559
you ready for it? Are you prepared for it?

652
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 2: I'm ready?

653
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: Okay, it is not official, it is in. It's in

654
00:34:39,079 --> 00:34:43,239
the works. Jordan Bennington to the Montreal Canadians.

655
00:34:43,639 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 4: I've heard about that. I've heard. I think he should

656
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,199
go to the steel.

657
00:34:47,039 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: He's got sixteen sixteen teams on his no move clause,

658
00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:57,719
but apparently the Canadians are one team he would go to.

659
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a Canadian guy. I go to a Canadian team.

660
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,400
Hey you getting all excited?

661
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,559
Speaker 1: Man? Look at you. I just saw like a spring

662
00:35:05,599 --> 00:35:06,280
in year step.

663
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 4: You know how I feel about Jordan Bennington. We need

664
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,840
goaltending on the team. But at the end of the day, though,

665
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,920
what would he cost for a guy that's not having

666
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,480
a great season? Is my question really is what he

667
00:35:18,519 --> 00:35:19,000
would cost?

668
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: The Blues are ready to move on from a lot

669
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,440
of players. I think they're Yeah, they've got to get

670
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,320
into not a total rebuild, but a rebuild of sorts.

671
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,320
And anytime you're you're looking to get rid of Robert Thomas,

672
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:37,440
uh Bennington and a couple other players. Then you're obviously

673
00:35:38,039 --> 00:35:40,679
you're not only just thinking about the rest of this year,

674
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,320
which is done, but you're also thinking about next year.

675
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,280
You're not going to make the playoffs. But let's retool

676
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,760
and put ourselves in a position that two or year

677
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,320
two years from now we're competitive and then we can

678
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,400
pick up some players and deal from a position of strength. Right,

679
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:55,079
So we'll see.

680
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, the thing is, I think that like Saint Louis

681
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,840
right now, is asking for too much. But somebody replied

682
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,840
back to me on Twitter with a good point, saying,

683
00:36:02,159 --> 00:36:04,719
you know, Robert Thomas has years left on his contracts,

684
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,440
so they have to ask for for a lot because

685
00:36:07,559 --> 00:36:09,519
it's a good deal for that guy.

686
00:36:09,559 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 2: Like all the stuff that they.

687
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 4: Were asking for the Buffalo Sabers, that's too much. And

688
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,119
from Montreal they want Michael Hage, they want Kaden Gooleye,

689
00:36:17,119 --> 00:36:19,639
they want picks. They want a little bit too much.

690
00:36:19,679 --> 00:36:22,519
So it's it's interesting to see. But I mean, yeah,

691
00:36:22,599 --> 00:36:25,159
I think the Habs need goaltending. They want a number

692
00:36:25,199 --> 00:36:27,960
one guy. Bennington could come and be. But one thing

693
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,079
I learned from last night watching the Habs is that

694
00:36:30,119 --> 00:36:32,159
I would prefer them to trade for a defenseman or

695
00:36:32,199 --> 00:36:36,840
goaltending than a forward. They lost seven to five KR.

696
00:36:37,079 --> 00:36:38,880
I don't think the worry I have with this Habs

697
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,159
team right now is forwards anymore as much as it

698
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:43,599
is on the back end.

699
00:36:43,679 --> 00:36:45,599
Speaker 2: Right maybe they could get a bottom.

700
00:36:45,199 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 4: Six forward, a tougher guy for the playoffs, you know,

701
00:36:48,519 --> 00:36:51,559
but you know, Thomas would be awesome. But I think

702
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,400
for my team, I'm I think that I'm more worried

703
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,440
about keeping the puck out of their net and not

704
00:36:57,519 --> 00:37:00,320
as much the scoring with Robert Thomas. It's funny all

705
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,360
kinds of fans on Twitter last night, car because the

706
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,840
whole day people were talking about Robert Thomas, right, and

707
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,119
then watching them give up seven goals, people are like,

708
00:37:08,119 --> 00:37:10,440
you know what, I don't even care about a forward anymore.

709
00:37:10,519 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 2: Give me a defense.

710
00:37:12,599 --> 00:37:16,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, listen, I get it. And with some of

711
00:37:16,199 --> 00:37:19,239
these goalies they you know, we saw it with like Bennington.

712
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,440
It wasn't the great season for him leading up to

713
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,960
the Olympics, but he was very good in the Olympics.

714
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,239
Because you're now surrounded by a corps of players who

715
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,119
are very good. The Saint Louis Blues aren't very good,

716
00:37:31,559 --> 00:37:34,280
so going to Montreal. There's a team of players there

717
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,800
that are competing. Marty Saint Louis has got this team

718
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,559
playing each and every night. These guys were buzzing in

719
00:37:40,599 --> 00:37:42,880
that third period and I thought for sure they were

720
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,199
going to win that game. When they can't. They erased

721
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:51,000
that three goal deficit. So having a goalie come into

722
00:37:51,679 --> 00:37:55,239
that type of franchise, that type of a team where

723
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,519
the team in front of you is playing well, you

724
00:37:57,599 --> 00:38:01,119
just need to do your job is similar to I'm

725
00:38:01,159 --> 00:38:03,119
not saying it's the exact same thing as the Olympics,

726
00:38:03,119 --> 00:38:05,719
but it's very similar to it. The mood is so

727
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,320
much different, not only on the ice, but in the

728
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,000
dressing room as well too. So we'll see if that happens.

729
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,800
But we have to talk about two teams that I

730
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,159
just love it. They're just not gonna make the playoffs.

731
00:38:17,599 --> 00:38:20,000
This is it brings such joy to my heart. I

732
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,880
have very few things I get to enjoy. Guys, the

733
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,559
older you get to, you know what I mean, It's

734
00:38:25,599 --> 00:38:31,840
like you're you know, you're you can't have sugar, you

735
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:36,639
can't have cholesterol, the eggs too much cholesterol. Andrew, I'm

736
00:38:36,679 --> 00:38:39,880
loving it. This is like being able to sit down

737
00:38:40,519 --> 00:38:45,159
with a tub of nutella and just eat it with

738
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,159
a spoon. The Toronto Maple Leafs are going to miss

739
00:38:48,159 --> 00:38:51,519
the playoffs, Andrew. They are plus one or two tonight

740
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,639
New Jersey Devils are minus one twenty two total sits

741
00:38:54,639 --> 00:38:58,119
here five and a half. How are you breaking this

742
00:38:58,159 --> 00:38:58,639
one down?

743
00:39:00,039 --> 00:39:01,159
Speaker 2: Oh man, Carm.

744
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 4: I mean I had someone comment yesterday on our video say,

745
00:39:05,119 --> 00:39:08,320
this guy seriously took the Leafs, and then some other

746
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,480
guy commented to have in my back say hey, at

747
00:39:10,559 --> 00:39:14,039
least it went to a shootout. But I told myself,

748
00:39:14,119 --> 00:39:17,119
never again, never again will I take this team. I

749
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:21,000
just can't stomach and I can't do it. The only

750
00:39:21,039 --> 00:39:24,320
time offensively this Maple Leafs team really looks good is

751
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,800
when they're on the power play. That's the only time

752
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,320
they look good. Karm thirty seven percent power play right

753
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,639
now for the Maple Leafs, which could help them out.

754
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:40,559
But listen to this last ten games scoring chances against

755
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,559
twenty one point seven per game. I mean, this team

756
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,679
just absolutely bleeding chances. As far as New Jersey, they're

757
00:39:47,679 --> 00:39:51,559
controlling the puck. It's New Jersey, your pass for me.

758
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,440
You know, we could play the game of when are

759
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,519
the Leafs gonna win again? Are we gonna try and

760
00:39:56,559 --> 00:39:59,400
pick the night that the Maple Leafs win again? But

761
00:39:59,679 --> 00:40:02,079
it's New Jersey or pass for me. They're playing at home,

762
00:40:02,159 --> 00:40:04,000
they get the last change. They can shut down this

763
00:40:04,039 --> 00:40:07,199
New Jersey, this Maple Leafs team.

764
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:08,199
Speaker 2: I'm convinced this.

765
00:40:09,679 --> 00:40:12,559
Speaker 4: I don't think the Maple Leafs can win a low

766
00:40:12,599 --> 00:40:15,880
scoring game, but yet that's the only type of games

767
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,119
they're playing in right now.

768
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:18,599
Speaker 2: They have to win.

769
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,119
Speaker 4: Why scoring a couple of goals because if it goes

770
00:40:21,159 --> 00:40:23,800
low scoring, you know, I think the Devils are the

771
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,400
better teams, So it's it's Devils are passed because Carl,

772
00:40:27,519 --> 00:40:29,960
if you I think I believe this with the with

773
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,039
the odds makers correcting the numbers, and you've been doing

774
00:40:33,039 --> 00:40:34,719
this a long time and you're good with the odds

775
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:39,559
and the math, I believe if you took the opponent,

776
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,159
the Leafs play the rest of the season on the

777
00:40:42,199 --> 00:40:45,159
money line for one unit a day, I think you

778
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:49,400
still end up making money. And I think that genuinely,

779
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,920
the books are not going to adjust enough. And maybe

780
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,400
it's because people like the Maple Leafs. Maybe it's because

781
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,000
they're still getting money, But would you say it's fair

782
00:40:58,079 --> 00:41:00,599
to say that for the rest of this season, the

783
00:41:00,639 --> 00:41:04,360
Maple Leafs are still going to lose money because they

784
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,320
have the books, are not going to adjust to how

785
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:07,280
bad they really are.

786
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they're They're always going to give them credit

787
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:18,280
for guys like Austin Matthews, William Nielander that these guys

788
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,400
are going to get them up points. I believe that

789
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:25,880
the Leafs likely have to be a seller prior to

790
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,880
the trade deadline. Who they're going to move. I would

791
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,239
not know Bobby McMahon, maybe because I don't think they

792
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,800
want to resign him next season. So I think also

793
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,719
they're not dealing from a position of strength because player

794
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,400
the teams know that the Leafs are done and dusted

795
00:41:42,559 --> 00:41:46,559
for the season and there's some big contracts on that team. Now,

796
00:41:46,599 --> 00:41:49,679
this is a team Andrew that they've played four games

797
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,199
post Olympic break and they've averaged one point seventy five

798
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,199
goals per game. This is supposed to be a high

799
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,559
flying team and they're not even averaging two goals per game.

800
00:41:58,599 --> 00:42:00,480
In four games they played, they've scored a total of

801
00:42:00,559 --> 00:42:05,119
seven goals, lost all four games, picked up one point

802
00:42:05,159 --> 00:42:09,639
in an ot loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, on home ice,

803
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,760
and they have the worst road record in the Eastern Conference.

804
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,840
They've only picked up twenty five points on the road

805
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:21,559
this season. Absolutely miserable team right now. Like I would

806
00:42:21,639 --> 00:42:23,880
lean to the under here the unders five and a

807
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:29,239
half and these this would during normal times, this would

808
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,800
probably be a six. They might even be a six

809
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,920
and a half. That's shaded to the under with Vig

810
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,719
it's five and a half because these teams just aren't

811
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,360
scoring goals. Now. It doesn't mean that they're not going

812
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:41,920
to go out and light it up tonight, because it's

813
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,679
a mean this game for both teams. But I am

814
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,760
not If I had to put my hard earned money

815
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,000
on these teams to score goals and go over the total,

816
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,480
I wouldn't do it. It'd be under or nothing, kind

817
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:58,000
of like your new jersey or nothing. I just don't know,

818
00:42:58,079 --> 00:43:03,719
and we'll see what happens in this game. But I've

819
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,280
harped on this pretty much the whole season that this

820
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:12,880
team just has no heart. Andrew, they played against the

821
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,840
Ottawa Senators on home ice and that was on Saturday nights,

822
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,320
and I talked about how I like the over in

823
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,320
that game and it finished five too. They only got

824
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:27,280
into it and fought. When the score was done, it's

825
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,599
five to two, and all of a sudden, they're throwing

826
00:43:30,639 --> 00:43:33,159
around bodies and they're throwing punches and what have you.

827
00:43:33,599 --> 00:43:35,480
Why not try and inspire your team to play a

828
00:43:35,519 --> 00:43:38,239
little bit better in the second period. They used to

829
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:42,079
have that. They used to have that where they had

830
00:43:42,119 --> 00:43:44,920
a guy out who could go out there and think that.

831
00:43:45,199 --> 00:43:49,840
It's changed for the Leaps. They're going to finish second last,

832
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,880
and they're going to finish last in the Atlantic. I

833
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,639
think Florida will pass them and they're going to finish

834
00:43:55,639 --> 00:43:58,639
second last to the New York Rangers in the standings.

835
00:43:59,039 --> 00:44:04,559
An absolute disaster for what the hockey mecha of the world.

836
00:44:04,639 --> 00:44:06,000
Andrew is that what they call it.

837
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,639
Speaker 4: Well, the funny thing is too karma is their pick

838
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,159
is top five protective. So how awesome would it be

839
00:44:11,199 --> 00:44:14,559
if they end up with like the sixth or seventh pick, right,

840
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:15,480
Because if they.

841
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 2: Get a top five pick, they get to keep it.

842
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,199
Speaker 4: But if it's six or seventh pick, guess who gets

843
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:21,199
their first round pick?

844
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 2: The Boston Bruins.

845
00:44:24,119 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 4: So if they if they finish anywhere besides the bottom five,

846
00:44:30,079 --> 00:44:32,880
they do not even get to keep that draft pick.

847
00:44:33,599 --> 00:44:35,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're not going to finish bottom five because

848
00:44:35,559 --> 00:44:37,800
you look at the Western Conference and I think it's

849
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:42,519
the Western Conference that has a bunch of teams that

850
00:44:42,599 --> 00:44:44,400
are on like fifty points. I mean, let me have

851
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,000
a quick look at it. But just to mention it

852
00:44:47,039 --> 00:44:49,239
to you, guys, you can look at the Western Conference

853
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,519
and you have Vancouver on forty three points, you have

854
00:44:54,119 --> 00:44:57,199
Saint Louis on fifty three, you have Calgary on fifty five,

855
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,480
you have Chicago on fifty six, and you have the

856
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:03,480
Winnie pick 's on fifty eight. There's five teams right

857
00:45:03,519 --> 00:45:06,679
there that have less than sixty points. And then you

858
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,440
have the New York Rangers who have fifty four points.

859
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:14,280
The Leafs currently sit at sixty four, so they're what

860
00:45:14,599 --> 00:45:19,920
seventh right now, Andrew, and about six points ahead of

861
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,320
the sixth place team, So they're.

862
00:45:24,119 --> 00:45:26,079
Speaker 2: Gonna lose their good they are screwed.

863
00:45:29,559 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: My heart bleeds anyways. But that said, Andrew, give us

864
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:35,679
some prop play winners please.

865
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,159
Speaker 4: All right, So yesterday it was not a great day

866
00:45:39,199 --> 00:45:40,360
with the guys scoring goals.

867
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:41,039
Speaker 2: I'll be honest.

868
00:45:41,079 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 4: And you know what's the worst part, Karm is that

869
00:45:43,039 --> 00:45:46,679
lately I've been looking at you know. I'm checking the board.

870
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:48,639
I'm looking at some of the picks that I that

871
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:53,079
I released for the show, and every single guy had

872
00:45:53,119 --> 00:45:55,760
like two points. They all had like a great game,

873
00:45:55,800 --> 00:46:00,199
they just didn't score like two or three shots, one

874
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:01,880
or two points, and like how much you know how

875
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:03,719
good the prices are on some of these guys if

876
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,119
you bet them to get two points. Anyway, we're back

877
00:46:07,159 --> 00:46:10,480
in action. This is plus seven thirteen, so a pretty

878
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,920
good price here. Let's rock with Carmines guy and the

879
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,960
Calder the Future Calder Trophy winner Matthew Shaeffer three plus

880
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,519
shots on goal. The Anaheim Ducks give up a lot

881
00:46:20,519 --> 00:46:22,880
of shots, but they also give up a lot of shots,

882
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:27,719
specifically against defenseman Matthew Schaeffer that over one and a

883
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,199
half shots heavily juiced over two and a half shots

884
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,519
on goal. You got a good plus price, bowl horvat

885
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,760
anytime point for him. Let's go to the Vegas Golden

886
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,239
Knights Detroit Red Wings. We're gonna go Lucas Raymond one

887
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:42,199
point and Pavel do'rifayev one point. One point from two

888
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,119
players on each team or one player on each team,

889
00:46:45,119 --> 00:46:47,920
I should say Raymond and Dori Fayev to each get

890
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:52,719
a point, Shaefer shots and Horvat on his points. Carl,

891
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,199
this is actually a pretty good price at plus seven

892
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,360
thirteen U. And for what it's worth, guys, I will

893
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,000
be playing these as two indis of course, the plus

894
00:47:02,079 --> 00:47:05,320
two eight and the plus one sixty four, and we'll

895
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,519
get all four together as well. Not a bad looking

896
00:47:07,559 --> 00:47:10,199
graphic either, I'd say here, Karen, just saying, not a

897
00:47:10,199 --> 00:47:14,639
bad looking graphic. We'll take that here plus seven thirteen.

898
00:47:16,559 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: I am impressed, my friend. Let's get some winners from you.

899
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:24,760
I would love to cash some some additional tickets. I

900
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:29,679
would also love to cash today's pod play, so I

901
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:34,079
will preface this. This pod play is actually one of

902
00:47:34,079 --> 00:47:37,119
my client plays as well too, so I will say that,

903
00:47:38,559 --> 00:47:42,559
but it is not. It is attached to the package

904
00:47:42,599 --> 00:47:45,400
I have loaded up today, which is another game where

905
00:47:45,679 --> 00:47:47,960
I have a best bet four percent play on, and

906
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,400
then I added this one as a as a bonus

907
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,079
play to that package as well too, So you guys

908
00:47:53,119 --> 00:47:55,159
are getting it here free, but I'd still love you

909
00:47:55,199 --> 00:47:58,280
to go over to wager talk and purchase that four percenter.

910
00:47:59,119 --> 00:48:03,000
I am going to take the Seattle krack in yes,

911
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:07,800
release the krack in Andrew Seattle minus one forty. The

912
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,000
line seems to be moving in their direction, so it's

913
00:48:10,039 --> 00:48:12,559
a little higher at the moment. Let me see if

914
00:48:12,559 --> 00:48:15,159
I can get that up on the screen. There we

915
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:20,519
go minus one. We're at seventy nine to thirty five.

916
00:48:20,559 --> 00:48:24,360
We're about to cross over that eight thousand dollars range

917
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:30,360
starting with five K. The Kraken two miserable games on

918
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,199
the road post Olympic break. They come home, they play

919
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:37,920
two very good games, including beating the Carolina Hurricanes the

920
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,880
last time out two to one. Now they get it

921
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,000
a they get a Saint Louis team coming to town.

922
00:48:44,079 --> 00:48:45,440
We don't know if this team is going to even

923
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,199
be short handed tonight. If they move some players between

924
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,800
now in game time, they could very well be short

925
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,000
in this game. But they're also a team that is

926
00:48:53,039 --> 00:48:55,639
one in ten their last eleven games on the road.

927
00:48:56,599 --> 00:49:00,400
Saint Louis Is. There's no way you could get me

928
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,920
to bet Saint Louis on the road in this spot.

929
00:49:04,039 --> 00:49:06,679
Give me the Seattle crack and three points holding on

930
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,559
to the last playoff spot, three points out of the

931
00:49:09,599 --> 00:49:12,840
top spot in the Pacific and the number two seed overall,

932
00:49:13,039 --> 00:49:16,320
and they're holding the eighth spot right now, so a

933
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:20,199
big win for them tonight minus one forty. Let's get

934
00:49:20,199 --> 00:49:21,400
the money.

935
00:49:22,519 --> 00:49:22,679
Speaker 2: You know.

936
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:26,199
Speaker 4: That's the thing with this Kracking team, Karen, pretenders or contenders.

937
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,280
We're gonna find out, maybe maybe this game might not

938
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,039
be the game we find out of their contenders, but

939
00:49:32,679 --> 00:49:34,280
we're going to find out what type of team they

940
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:38,480
are moving forward, because you know, it's the team that

941
00:49:38,559 --> 00:49:40,480
I think is better than people give them credit for.

942
00:49:40,599 --> 00:49:44,320
If this team was wearing a New York Rangers jersey,

943
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:45,800
would people be giving them more credit.

944
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:47,039
Speaker 2: I think they probably would be.

945
00:49:48,159 --> 00:49:50,039
Speaker 1: And that's the thing, Andrew, you know what I mean. Like,

946
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:54,880
they're right there, so at home, they're very good, and

947
00:49:55,159 --> 00:49:57,480
they're on this homestand right now. So they won two games,

948
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,440
the last one being the important one because Carolina was

949
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,079
playing some very good hockey. They get Saint Louis tonight.

950
00:50:03,639 --> 00:50:05,119
Then they have a couple of days off and the

951
00:50:05,159 --> 00:50:08,320
Ottawa Senators come to town. But at least they get

952
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,239
some rest in that spot, which is a good thing.

953
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,760
And they're at home. Then they're off a couple of

954
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,920
days and they get the Nashville Predators still in Seattle,

955
00:50:16,519 --> 00:50:19,599
so it's very favorable for them. And then two days

956
00:50:19,639 --> 00:50:23,159
later they play their final game of this home standing

957
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:26,079
they play the Colorado Avalanche. That's going to be a toughee.

958
00:50:26,559 --> 00:50:31,960
But those these three games prior to facing Colorado, the Blues,

959
00:50:32,159 --> 00:50:36,920
the Ottawa Senators, the Nashville Predators, should be games. Ottawa

960
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,400
is probably the toughest of those three where they pick

961
00:50:39,519 --> 00:50:43,440
up points and move up the standings. There are three

962
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:47,119
points behind the Vegas Golden Knights with a shot, and

963
00:50:47,159 --> 00:50:50,280
then after the Colorado won. Just looking at some of

964
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,400
their games on the schedule, they're playing non playoff teams,

965
00:50:53,679 --> 00:50:57,840
the Vancouver Canucks, the Florida Panthers. That game is in

966
00:50:58,119 --> 00:51:01,679
Seattle as well too. The Nashville again. They got Columbus,

967
00:51:02,039 --> 00:51:04,440
they get Florida again, They got Tampa a couple of times.

968
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:08,199
So I think it's a favorable schedule for the Seattle

969
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:13,079
Kraken to maintain at the very least a top eight spot,

970
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,800
but also move up the Pacific. And who knows at

971
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,880
the end of the day, the Edmonton others with their goaltending,

972
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:26,440
the you know, the Anaheim Ducks. Who knows what is

973
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,920
going to happen in that Pacific. It is up for grabs.

974
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:32,280
There are three points out of the Pacific lead right now.

975
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,679
You just never know. Release the krack.

976
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:37,599
Speaker 2: In, release the crack, and let's see how they do. Carm.

977
00:51:38,599 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 4: It's nice to see new teams in the mix, as

978
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,400
I've been saying to you. Nice to see new teams

979
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:44,599
in the mix.

980
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 2: That's for sure.

981
00:51:45,119 --> 00:51:48,039
Speaker 4: So we got a prop parlay, we got a p

982
00:51:48,199 --> 00:51:51,480
O D, we got some breakdowns, we got Brian Lennon

983
00:51:51,519 --> 00:51:54,559
on the show with us. We still have that fantastic deal.

984
00:51:54,599 --> 00:51:57,400
And I'll tell you, calm, you're fresh off that big

985
00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,440
winner yesterday, and I know we don't want to just

986
00:51:59,519 --> 00:52:02,800
right home about one winner because you're having a fantastic run.

987
00:52:03,199 --> 00:52:06,599
The hockey run has been great for me since the Olympics.

988
00:52:06,679 --> 00:52:10,400
Just a fantastic deal here, guys, anybody interested? Buy three,

989
00:52:10,519 --> 00:52:14,159
get three free today. I do not have my packages

990
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:17,599
up so far. I will have a package up at

991
00:52:17,679 --> 00:52:21,960
least one for NHL after the show. Past couple of days.

992
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:23,599
I've been good about getting them up early, but I

993
00:52:23,639 --> 00:52:26,440
wanted to wait for some information. As I'm sure you

Speaker 2: You know, it's great to do it.

1006
00:53:03,679 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 4: You buy Carmines five percent, you buy my four percent yesterday,

1007
00:53:07,199 --> 00:53:10,280
you're feeling pretty good. You buy six days, you know,

1008
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,039
for the price of three. It's a pretty damn good

1009
00:53:12,039 --> 00:53:12,679
deal here, Karen.

1010
00:53:14,599 --> 00:53:18,519
Speaker 1: It is. You know, at the very least, you get

1011
00:53:18,559 --> 00:53:22,079
six days to judge someone instead of just you know,

1012
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,840
one day. So you know, you look at the NHL,

1013
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:28,599
A couple winners on Monday, a couple four percent plays

1014
00:53:29,159 --> 00:53:32,320
winter yesterday with the five percent play, the customer appreciation

1015
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:36,559
play ended in a push. The total landed on a

1016
00:53:36,639 --> 00:53:40,320
six in the Minnesota and the Tampa game. But we're

1017
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:44,239
just plowing forward. Sometimes my plays are going to come

1018
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:48,280
out at noon one o'clock. Again, much like Andrew says,

1019
00:53:48,639 --> 00:53:53,320
it is confirming sometimes, especially these next two or three days. Guys,

1020
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,119
with the trade deadline, the worst thing you could do

1021
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:58,960
is release a play early in the morning and then

1022
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,840
that nothingber goes against you and player and clients are

1023
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:07,320
getting the worst of it. So one o'clock plays are

1024
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,960
up by then, the morning skates are normally done and

1025
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,239
we can go off of who the goalies are as

1026
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:15,400
well too. One play in soccer which goes this afternoon

1027
00:54:15,599 --> 00:54:18,679
at around two thirty three o'clock in the English Premier League.

1028
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,960
So we'll look to keep a strong run going in soccer.

1029
00:54:22,039 --> 00:54:26,239
Number one in twenty twenty six at wager talk with

1030
00:54:26,519 --> 00:54:30,679
soccer plays and gearing up man the World Cup straight ahead,

1031
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,920
so that Cup to Cup specialists still available, get the

1032
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,840
rest of the NHL season and the playoffs and then

1033
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:41,199
the World Cup looking forward to it. So with that said, Andrew,

1034
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:44,880
who do we have on tomorrow? I think we have

1035
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:45,920
the press on tomorrow.

1036
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 4: Don't tell them that we want them to tune in

1037
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,280
a lot that but President is doing really well.

1038
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 2: It's done a great role.

1039
00:54:54,079 --> 00:54:55,679
Speaker 4: So make sure you guys tune in for that check

1040
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:57,719
it out. Should be a really fun show. And of

1041
00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,840
course tomorrow is a lot more games. We'll try and

1042
00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:01,800
do a little bit of a Q and A for tomorrow,

1043
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:03,719
So if you guys drop your questions, a couple of

1044
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,639
games will break down a lot more, but then we'll

1045
00:55:06,639 --> 00:55:08,119
do a little Q and A to touch on all

1046
00:55:08,199 --> 00:55:08,920
kinds of the games.

1047
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 2: Should be a great week. It should be a great week.

1048
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 4: And I'll tell you what, I would not be shocked,

1049
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:17,840
especially Thursday and especially Friday, if we have some trades dropped.

1050
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:19,320
Speaker 2: Well we're live.

1051
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 4: On puck Time, but that will do it for today's show.
