1
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: NHL Best Bets for Wednesday, March the eighteenth, and someone

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,080
commented yesterday and said, I yell a little bit too

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,519
much off the intro, So we'll try and keep it

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,960
a little bit quiet here today on the show, guys.

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,920
But hope you all had a winning Tuesday night, made

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,559
some money and enjoyed all the NHL games. As these

7
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,760
wildcard races are getting better and better. Today's show we

8
00:00:23,839 --> 00:00:25,920
got just carm and I look forward to going through

9
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,519
a handful of great games here and finding you guys

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,399
some winners. The pod is back and better than ever.

11
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,240
I'm sure Car's got you guys set up for a winner.

12
00:00:34,439 --> 00:00:37,079
And I got a big play on the ice tonight.

13
00:00:37,119 --> 00:00:40,000
I was waiting for some information right before the show

14
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,920
started here, but I'm getting that play punched in you guys,

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
and grab that at wager talk dot com yesterday it

16
00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:48,000
was a two and two day, but when you give

17
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,079
out mostly plus money, you still end up making money

18
00:00:51,119 --> 00:00:53,000
with a two and two day, so I'm happy about that.

19
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,159
And well, I was just complaining to Carl about how

20
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,439
I had the Islanders over a team total and fell

21
00:00:59,479 --> 00:01:01,920
like it was the right side three goals halfway through

22
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,359
the game. And they don't get there. Carla, I'm gonna

23
00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:07,159
go to you with this. You always want the empty

24
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,239
net goal to, you know, maybe get that last goal

25
00:01:10,359 --> 00:01:12,640
or the puck line of the fourth goal. The Islander's

26
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,439
got a four minute power play and they didn't execute

27
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,920
on the power play. They're passing it around. But the

28
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,680
worst part about that power play was that because they

29
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,760
were on the power play, I didn't get the empty

30
00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:28,439
net chance until like the last second. So Hinstein's twenty twenty.

31
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,480
But what I have even wanted that power play? I

32
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,519
think I would have just preferred the empty net man,

33
00:01:32,879 --> 00:01:33,599
How is your night?

34
00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 2: Yeah? I actually hate the empty I actually hate the

35
00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:43,640
power play at the end of the game because teams

36
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,519
will just dump it instead of aiming for the nets.

37
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,319
They're just dumping it and you don't get the goalie

38
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,640
out of the net. And you know, if you get

39
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,640
that power play with like two minutes and forty seconds left,

40
00:01:56,959 --> 00:02:01,280
you're gonna get maybe forty seconds of empty net time,

41
00:02:01,319 --> 00:02:05,200
which I don't think is enough. So that does blow

42
00:02:06,519 --> 00:02:10,400
my five dollars. Play on Tampa Bay and regulation got there.

43
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,319
They beat the Seattle Cracking. It started strong and then

44
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,039
the Krackings got a little bit of life and then

45
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,400
the Kraken did what the kra can do, which is

46
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,840
just not playing well defensively. But kudos to John Cooper

47
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:29,759
finally getting this team to play a complete sixty minutes.

48
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,680
This team had the worst record out of the Olympic

49
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,960
Break of all teams in the NHL, and he's got

50
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,960
them back on track. So we'll see what happens in

51
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,520
their next game and see if they can keep that

52
00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:46,240
momentum going. But listen, yesterday's show was action packed, guys,

53
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,639
and if you guys tuned in, the press was on

54
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,639
first and he very rarely bets against the Toronto Maple Leafs,

55
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:54,879
but told you guys to take the New York Islanders.

56
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,800
Don Buster took the over in the Edmonton game over seven.

57
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:02,879
He said, don't leave the juice with six and a half.

58
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,280
Take the seven, be happy with a push. If it

59
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,960
lands on seven, well, more goals than that. Eight goals

60
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,039
gets the winner. And Brian Leonard, God bless his soul.

61
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:17,159
He took the Buffalo Sabers against his Vegas Golden Knights,

62
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,599
and the Sabers get it done. Whether you think they

63
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,439
deserved it or not, they found a way to win

64
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,360
it held on to that one, nothing lead until an

65
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,199
empty netter to assault it away. I didn't even have

66
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,159
any action on that one, Andrew and I stayed up

67
00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:34,520
to watch it just to see if the Sabers could

68
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,400
hold on. And then I mentioned that Columbus game, that

69
00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:42,960
Columbus fifteen two and four since Rick Bonus took over,

70
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,800
And man, did they slap around the Carolina Hurricanes last night.

71
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:56,159
They're now sixteen two and four since since the coaching change.

72
00:03:56,719 --> 00:04:01,759
It's unbelievable how some of these teams are playing. So yeah,

73
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:03,159
it really is.

74
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: This Columbus Blue Jackets team. What a ride it has

75
00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:10,960
been for them. And I think I'm less shocked that

76
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,360
they played well and more shocked at the Hurricanes got

77
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,720
slapped around the way they did. And you know, yesterday

78
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,079
I talked about in the Montreal Canadians game with Buster,

79
00:04:21,319 --> 00:04:23,639
when you exited the screen and you're like, all right,

80
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,199
you two Habs fans, you guys can handicap this game.

81
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,560
I gave out Bruins under two and a half goals. Man,

82
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,839
oh man, that was a sweat car. So I can't

83
00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:35,680
complain about my Islanders one if I hit the Bruins one,

84
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,240
because what goes around, comes around sometimes, I guess. And

85
00:04:40,199 --> 00:04:43,439
the Canadians took a penalty thirty three seconds into the

86
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,519
game and then they got scored on. So the team

87
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,759
total under got off to a very very bad start,

88
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,319
but we end up hitting that and defense was the

89
00:04:52,399 --> 00:04:55,759
name of the game. These divisional matchups are so important.

90
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,759
And we had a comment who was it here, Steve?

91
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,279
Steve Duke said, sprayed all the draws and money line

92
00:05:03,319 --> 00:05:06,240
dogs yesterday worked barely, not for the faint of heart.

93
00:05:06,319 --> 00:05:08,560
But you know, Caren, you and I have been talking

94
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,240
about it a little bit on the show these days,

95
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,319
these draw bets. This is where it really starts to work.

96
00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:16,360
You know, they're looking at some of these key games

97
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:20,519
and I'll be real, the regulation wins matter, but just

98
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,079
the two points in general matter. And I was joking

99
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,040
around with the girlfriend last night saying, once that game

100
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,279
hit five minutes to go in the Habs game, I

101
00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:31,519
was like, they're going to overtime. They're both these teams

102
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,079
want at least one point. They're going to overtime for sure.

103
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that works so great if nothing else,

104
00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:43,879
that game going to overtime, even though there's a loser point.

105
00:05:43,959 --> 00:05:46,000
Mixed in there, so it becomes a three point game

106
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,360
instead of a two point game. That helps O teams

107
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:57,839
like the Ottawa Senators, the Columbus Blue Jackets, and the

108
00:05:57,879 --> 00:06:00,480
Detroit Red Wings. Now you're probably thinking, what does he

109
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,319
mean by that? Because one of them got two points,

110
00:06:03,319 --> 00:06:06,720
one of them got one, it's the regulation win. Neither

111
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:09,040
team got a regulation win. So now you have the

112
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,519
Montreal Canadians on twenty five regulation wins, the Boston Bruins

113
00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:18,399
on twenty seven, Detroit's Detroits at twenty six, Ottawa was

114
00:06:18,439 --> 00:06:22,079
at twenty eight, and they're only five pack of a spot.

115
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,800
Those regulation wins at the end of the season could

116
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,040
very well come into play, Andrew, and if they do

117
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,920
come into play, it is going to hurt some of

118
00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:35,120
these teams. I always each year I talked about the

119
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,199
last week of the NHL season and what happens if

120
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,199
a team needs to win but they can't win it

121
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,279
in overtime. Do they pull their goalie when they are tied.

122
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,959
It very rarely happens, but you love to see it

123
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:53,720
if it does. So I'm pretty pretty excited about the

124
00:06:53,759 --> 00:06:56,879
next couple of weeks. Could start to the week for me,

125
00:06:57,639 --> 00:07:01,680
I said I would bounce back thirteen one in one

126
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:04,240
NHL run, and then on the weekend I went something

127
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,399
like one in six. I think I won the first game,

128
00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:08,199
and then I lost six in a row, and I'm like,

129
00:07:08,519 --> 00:07:11,800
you gotta be kidding me. But a couple wins on Monday,

130
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,480
a win yesterday, pick up twelve units across the last

131
00:07:14,519 --> 00:07:18,079
three days, and only one play for today, I am

132
00:07:18,079 --> 00:07:21,600
going to I like this card this whole week, but

133
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,240
I really like games tomorrow, and so tomorrow will be

134
00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:27,160
a multi game card for me. Today will just be

135
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,560
the one game.

136
00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:33,839
Speaker 1: You know, Karmit's it's a bit frustrating because if you

137
00:07:33,839 --> 00:07:38,240
think about baseball handicappers, typically they know who the pitcher

138
00:07:38,319 --> 00:07:40,519
is going to be about twenty four hours to even

139
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,759
forty eight hours at events. I do think that coming

140
00:07:44,759 --> 00:07:47,839
into this year, I did not think necessarily that I

141
00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:50,600
would care as much about goaltending splits as I do.

142
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,959
But for some teams, for current form, and I'm a

143
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,959
huge recent form guy, I don't care what a goalie

144
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,800
did in December anymore, right, I don't care what a

145
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,399
goal was doing in January. It's March seventeen or eighteenth.

146
00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:06,480
So it's so vital for me to be able to

147
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,920
see these confirmation numbers, which is a good thing because

148
00:08:09,959 --> 00:08:13,079
we do this show at eleven am Eastern and we

149
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,319
can project what we think at the end of the day.

150
00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:19,040
We're also I won't speak for you, but for me

151
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,399
with my clients, there's a certain wave of plays you

152
00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:24,000
could get overnight or in the morning, and the next

153
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,639
wave of plays come around one or two o'clock Eastern

154
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,680
time when the morning skates are done with. So I'm

155
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,879
waiting to see some goaltending confirmation. We have mostly projections

156
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,879
right now, but we've got some teams that are battling

157
00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:40,039
for some spots today here, karm, so let's dive into it. Man.

158
00:08:43,399 --> 00:08:45,519
Speaker 2: Yes, sorry, my mic has given me a little bit

159
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,440
of problems this morning, Andrew, So if I disappear off

160
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,120
the screen, it's just me fixing my mic. But one

161
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:59,679
last thought. Here we are. It is March eighteenth, Andrew,

162
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:06,759
March eighteenth, and sitting tied but a top the Eastern

163
00:09:06,759 --> 00:09:12,480
Conference standings is the Buffalo Sabers. In what bizarro world

164
00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:15,720
are we living in that the Buffalo Sabers are tied

165
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:21,399
with the Carolina Hurricanes for first place overall in the

166
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:26,440
Eastern Conference. It's just I'm waiting. I keep waiting for

167
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,759
the other shoe to drop, but it's not. They're just

168
00:09:29,799 --> 00:09:33,360
playing well. Lindy Rev's got them playing well and first

169
00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:38,279
shutout of the season for a man Uko Pecca lukan In.

170
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,000
So we shall see. But with that said, let's talk

171
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:49,039
about the aforementioned Carolina Hurricanes. Andrew, let's pop up the

172
00:09:49,039 --> 00:09:52,759
odds on this one. This is a weird It's not

173
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,720
a weird one in the sense of Andrew of what

174
00:09:55,879 --> 00:09:59,039
the line is in this game. But when I look

175
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,799
at this one and you got Carolina minus one sixty

176
00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:06,039
one plus one thirty two bussy obviously losing goal yesterday,

177
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,240
it is going to be Freddie Anderson and goal Stuart

178
00:10:08,279 --> 00:10:13,399
Skinner likely for the Pittsburgh Penguins. The first thought from

179
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,360
everyone is going to be I'm taking Carolina. They got

180
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,679
smoked last night and they're going to bounce back. They're

181
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,399
a much better team at home. The Pittsburgh Penguins found

182
00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:29,679
a way to win on the road, and an impressive

183
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,879
one at that, six to two in Colorado, where not

184
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,840
a lot of teams go in there and get a result.

185
00:10:34,879 --> 00:10:36,279
Not a lot of teams go in there and score

186
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:41,639
six goals and keep a team to two. The Pens

187
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:48,600
after that brutal start post post Olympic break, Andrew are

188
00:10:48,639 --> 00:10:50,840
playing a little bit better. Gino Malcolm back in the lineup.

189
00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:55,200
There's talk that Sid could be back soon. Why aren't

190
00:10:55,279 --> 00:10:57,320
the Penguins a live dog here? I think they are.

191
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:01,879
Speaker 1: I think there's this a enough market respect for the Hurricanes,

192
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,600
even if they're on the back to back look hard

193
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,320
for me. We're seeing six and a half shaded towards

194
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,759
the under in this one here, but I would look

195
00:11:12,799 --> 00:11:15,360
towards the over in this game. A lot of it

196
00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:17,559
is due to the fact that the Hurricanes still create

197
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,000
a ton of chances every game. Last four to five games.

198
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,320
They're still at the top of the league in a

199
00:11:23,399 --> 00:11:27,600
high danger generation. But you know, looking for two games

200
00:11:27,639 --> 00:11:30,360
like that, you get an opportunity to bounce back like Carolina.

201
00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:32,320
I don't know what was going on with them. As

202
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,720
I said to you off the top. Do we compliment

203
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:40,039
Columbus or do we just insult Carolina? That's the biggest question,

204
00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:41,799
and I think we have to do a little bit

205
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,919
of both. Maybe because we saw a great game from

206
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,879
one team, but a not still great game from the other.

207
00:11:47,159 --> 00:11:49,799
But man, you talk about getting Malkin back and some

208
00:11:49,879 --> 00:11:53,159
of these guys who saw the offense coming from Pittsburgh

209
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,440
this season, I don't think anybody could have seen that

210
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,120
this team would be able to contribute the way that

211
00:11:57,159 --> 00:12:00,559
they have multiple goal scorers, multiple players every night and

212
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,480
getting that win against Colorado that's absolutely massive. But looking

213
00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:08,039
at both these projected goaltenders here in this one camera,

214
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,720
I think we could see some goals here, and you know,

215
00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:14,159
when you take a look at the board overall, and

216
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,960
if we do get Stuart Skinner, I'll throw it out

217
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:22,720
here that he has been playing pretty well. But if

218
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,000
you look at kind of the expected goals against, he

219
00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:29,240
is superseding some of these numbers, calm that it's unexplainable,

220
00:12:29,279 --> 00:12:32,559
like this is not something he can sustain. His expected

221
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,200
goals against over the last five games are somewhere like

222
00:12:35,399 --> 00:12:38,960
four point three or four point five. And same thing

223
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,279
goes for Anderson. He's got on the year an eight

224
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,159
seventy two, say percentage, and then over the last four

225
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,559
or five games his rebound control has been horrible. So

226
00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:50,320
I said earlier in the year, though with second half

227
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,840
of back to backs, it doesn't mean you always bet overs.

228
00:12:52,879 --> 00:12:56,240
There can be unders on back to backs, but this

229
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,879
game kind of has that feel to me. Remember how

230
00:12:58,919 --> 00:13:02,080
I used to like over when teams got shut out. Well,

231
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,720
Carolina didn't get shut out yesterday, but it kind of

232
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,799
feels like they did. So I have a tough time

233
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,480
believing this one's not going to be just an absolute

234
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,559
back and forth battle. So you're looking for Pittsburgh as

235
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,879
a live dog. If they contribute to the scoreboard, then

236
00:13:17,919 --> 00:13:19,519
I think the over should be able to hit.

237
00:13:20,919 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, to your point of Skinner. If Skinner's

238
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,000
in goal tonight, he's got twenty wins on the season,

239
00:13:28,039 --> 00:13:30,320
He's got a goals against average at his under three

240
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,639
is eight percentage, just just a tick UNDERD nine. I

241
00:13:32,639 --> 00:13:35,519
think it's like eight ninety one. But we see a

242
00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:40,120
lot of goalies in in that, in that very high

243
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:45,000
eight hundred percentile, very low nine hundred from that eight

244
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,000
ninety to like nine ten, we see a lot of

245
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:52,879
goalies in that. So but you look at it five

246
00:13:52,919 --> 00:13:56,519
to one. Pittsburgh wins at home against Carolina earlier this year.

247
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,480
They just played just a little while ago. Screws Stewart

248
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,200
Skinner was goal that game was in Carolina. Uh, and

249
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,279
that game went to overtime and finishes five to four.

250
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,720
They've picked up three of a possible four points against

251
00:14:10,879 --> 00:14:16,039
this Carolina team. I just think that the with other

252
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,720
people looking at games sometimes they just auto They just

253
00:14:19,759 --> 00:14:22,440
want to auto bet a good team that lost the

254
00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:26,200
night before or two nights previous, and think that they're

255
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,600
going to bounce back in this spot. And I'm not

256
00:14:28,759 --> 00:14:32,720
entirely sure. You know, the Canes are sort of win

257
00:14:32,799 --> 00:14:34,639
one lose one, win one lose one type of thing.

258
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,759
The the Pens have gone three to one and one

259
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,440
their last five, and one of their losses was that

260
00:14:40,559 --> 00:14:44,679
six to two loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. That's

261
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,679
their only bad loss over the last five games. They

262
00:14:48,679 --> 00:14:51,879
have an ot loss and and three wins and that one.

263
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,759
You know, coming back against Utah a good win there.

264
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,399
Going into Colorado and winning there a good win there.

265
00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:05,080
So coming back to the East Coast playing Carolina to

266
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,279
end this road trip, I think it's a I think

267
00:15:07,279 --> 00:15:09,120
it's the end of the road trip for them. I

268
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,320
think they're a live dog at Plus, I'm not laying

269
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,159
that price with Carolina. I think Carolina's the better team,

270
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,919
of course, I do. They're first in the Eastern Conference,

271
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,039
but the Pens are trying to make a playoff push

272
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,240
and sometimes Moe is in the.

273
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:34,279
Speaker 1: Building momentum, we'll see what happens. You know. It's funny, Karme,

274
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,159
because we've seen this so many times, even without the

275
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,639
new format for playoffs. But it's looking like, right in

276
00:15:40,679 --> 00:15:42,919
front of our eyes, we're once again going to see

277
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:48,120
a New York Islanders Penguins playoff matchup. Unless anything changes

278
00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:50,919
from here on out. The only thing that looks like

279
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,279
could change is going to be the home ice advantage.

280
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,279
Which team gets home ice. But uh, they're doing all

281
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,559
this without Pittsburgh, And I'm gonna throw this out there.

282
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,919
There's not going to be a soul in the world

283
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,399
that thinks that Pittsburgh has a chance in that series.

284
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,559
That's why you're getting good odds on the Stanley Cup

285
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,679
on the Eastern Conference. Very curious what number we get

286
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,320
on that series as a whole. But I am I

287
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,799
am I off to say that the general population are

288
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,919
going to like the Islanders quite a bit in that series.

289
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe so. But you know the weird thing,

290
00:16:24,759 --> 00:16:27,799
Andrew is uh and you and I have discussed this

291
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,759
pretty much over the last two to three months. This

292
00:16:31,039 --> 00:16:34,480
NHL season is like no other. I don't remember another

293
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:40,679
NHL season where a lot of the preseason narratives at

294
00:16:40,759 --> 00:16:44,639
least mine, and you know, call a spade is spade,

295
00:16:44,879 --> 00:16:48,000
at least mine. We're wrong. I just thought Pittsburgh was

296
00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:51,480
gonna have a miserable season, and they're having a very

297
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,279
good season. I thought the Toronto Maple Leafs would have

298
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,480
a better season the second year under their their coach,

299
00:16:57,559 --> 00:17:01,360
a Barubay, and they've regressed. They ever replaced Mitch Martner.

300
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,960
They looked absolutely terrible. So, you know, did I expect

301
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:09,640
the Rangers to be where they are? No? The led Kings. No.

302
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,119
It is just there are so many teams that you're

303
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,680
looking at, and like Washington Capitals, the Ottawa Senators, they're

304
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:23,000
not in the top eight right And then you know, conversely,

305
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,440
the Buffalo Sabers are in there. If you remember the

306
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,519
beginning of the season, I said, and I think you said,

307
00:17:29,759 --> 00:17:31,200
I think the Sabers have a chance to make the

308
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,599
playoffs this year. And I asked you what you were smoking,

309
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,319
because I thought there was no way this team was

310
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,519
making the playoffs again. You know what I mean, you

311
00:17:40,599 --> 00:17:42,640
have to admit when you're wrong. But this is a

312
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:47,279
season like no other. So to your point, why wouldn't

313
00:17:47,279 --> 00:17:50,519
the NHL playoffs be any different in the sense of

314
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,480
teams that are favored to win their series not winning

315
00:17:54,480 --> 00:18:01,240
their series. Yeah, favor five percent, one hundred percent. You

316
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:06,200
got Sorokan and goal. Sorocan's phenomenal. He's playing great, the

317
00:18:06,279 --> 00:18:11,240
team is playing great. You got Schaeffer. Shaeffer had a

318
00:18:11,319 --> 00:18:15,200
thousand people at the leaf Skain yesterday, family and friends.

319
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,680
A thousand people. Who buys those tickets?

320
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: Who knows a thousand people? Who knows that many people? Anyway?

321
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,079
Speaker 2: A thousand people? I don't even think I've met a

322
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,480
thousand people and introduced myself over the years. But who

323
00:18:33,519 --> 00:18:36,640
buys those tickets? Especially in Toronto? So I want to

324
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,519
know where they came up with a thousand tickets for

325
00:18:41,319 --> 00:18:45,960
Matthew Shaeffer's friends yesterday, friends and family, a thousand tickets.

326
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,759
But here's my question. Very good, very good team in

327
00:18:48,799 --> 00:18:52,279
New York. Seriously, a very good team in New York.

328
00:18:52,319 --> 00:18:55,039
And you think in the state of New York when

329
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,640
you know what I mean, and New Jersey, if you

330
00:18:57,759 --> 00:19:01,799
thought about the four team in which ones would make

331
00:19:01,799 --> 00:19:05,200
the playoffs, you'd probably be talking about the New Jersey

332
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,920
Devils and the New York Rangers and not the New

333
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,880
York Islanders and the Buffalo Sabers. So this is the

334
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,039
season we're having, Andrew, I ain't there just gonna be

335
00:19:14,079 --> 00:19:15,279
surprises in the playoffs?

336
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,599
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think so too. But I think also maybe

337
00:19:19,599 --> 00:19:21,200
there's gonna be a lot of these teams that were

338
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,880
hot all year that might cool down in the playoffs.

339
00:19:24,279 --> 00:19:28,119
Everybody wants to see the next Saint Louis Blues, right,

340
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,119
Everybody wants to see the next team that started not good.

341
00:19:31,319 --> 00:19:34,319
Like I saw a quote someone said the Ottawa Senators

342
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,680
could miss the playoffs or the Autawa Senators could go

343
00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:40,440
to the conference finals. Same thing goes for the Blue Jackets,

344
00:19:40,519 --> 00:19:42,720
same thing goes for the Buffalo Sabers. You know, like

345
00:19:42,759 --> 00:19:46,119
it you just don't really know. And look, we're gonna

346
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,599
talk about one team at the end of the show

347
00:19:48,799 --> 00:19:50,759
for a maker missed the playoffs, so they're not even

348
00:19:50,799 --> 00:19:52,880
in the playoffs right now, and they're heavy favorites to

349
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,480
make it. So I gotta I got a question for

350
00:19:55,519 --> 00:19:58,839
the for the live chat and for people to comment afterwards.

351
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,799
Here karm and As you guys know the comments afterwards,

352
00:20:02,799 --> 00:20:04,920
they help us out on the show. So here's my question.

353
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,640
If you got a free bet right now, and you

354
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,720
had to take a future, but the future had to

355
00:20:10,759 --> 00:20:13,960
be ten to one or higher, what would you be

356
00:20:14,079 --> 00:20:17,680
taking in the NHL right now? So pretty much outside

357
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,160
of the Big Four, who would you be taking in

358
00:20:21,319 --> 00:20:24,279
the NHL to win the Stanley Cup? And you could

359
00:20:24,279 --> 00:20:26,400
go about value, you can go about just who Ethan's

360
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,880
gonna win. So pretty much outside of Colorado, Tampa, Carolina,

361
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:38,119
and Vegas, there's Dallas, Edmonton, Minnesota, Buffalo, Utah, Ottawa. I mean,

362
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,680
think about this. Carl Pittsburgh is sitting in a playoff

363
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:46,079
spot right now, right They're sitting in a playoff spot

364
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,519
right now. They're fifty to one. The Ottawa Senators are

365
00:20:49,559 --> 00:20:53,200
not in a playoff spot. They are thirty five to one.

366
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,160
They have like they are not even in a playoff spot,

367
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,279
and they have that better odds. Again, the LA Kings

368
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:06,319
right now sixty to one, the Islanders sixty to one.

369
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,119
I mean, it's crazy.

370
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 2: It is nuts, and I know we got to get

371
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,920
to the next game, but let me tell you, like

372
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,640
the way this NHL season, guys have has gone with

373
00:21:17,759 --> 00:21:21,799
so many surprises and stuff. Andrew I would build an

374
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:27,599
underground bunker bomb shelter if the Standy Cup Finals was

375
00:21:27,599 --> 00:21:32,519
the Edmonton Oiters versus the Pittsburgh Penguins, and Stuart Skinner

376
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,960
gets exact revenge on Tristan Jari and the Edmonton Oiters

377
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,839
and leads the Pittsburgh Penguins to a Cup in side

378
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,440
cross Sydney Crosby's last season in the NHL. Come on, man,

379
00:21:45,519 --> 00:21:50,920
it is no there's nothing in my tea. It's just tea.

380
00:21:51,759 --> 00:21:55,039
But the bizarro world we're living in the bizarro world.

381
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaking of bizarro world, the two capital cities face tonight,

382
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:06,799
the Washington Capitals and the Ottawa Senators. Andrew money on

383
00:22:06,839 --> 00:22:11,160
the sends in this one, coming in minus one thirty

384
00:22:11,799 --> 00:22:15,880
capitals plus one oh eight total sits here at six

385
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,359
and a half shaded minus one twenty to the under.

386
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:19,480
Where are you going with this one?

387
00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:22,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean just looking at the way the Senator's

388
00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:25,359
team has been playing car They've been in playoff mode

389
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,839
for a very very long time now. This team, since

390
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,240
the return from the Olympics, they have been I think

391
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,599
one of the best, if not the best teams in

392
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,720
the entire league. It's been so good to see. But

393
00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:40,599
the fact is is that if you're the Ottawa Senators

394
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,400
you're getting a win, then you're looking around you and saying, Okay,

395
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,240
they just won too. They just won too. So that's

396
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,160
a little bit different. Last five games for the Washington

397
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,599
Capitals expected goals against per game three point four goals,

398
00:22:55,559 --> 00:22:58,079
leaky defense. Right now, they're going a ton of high

399
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:03,079
danger championship chances and their offense actually has not been

400
00:23:03,279 --> 00:23:06,680
that strong. So this is one of those things for me,

401
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,039
I think Ottawa's got to be the play. Look, Logan

402
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,400
Thompson is fantastic. Logan Thompson is a goalie that I

403
00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:18,640
want to be backing. But I'm either playing the Under

404
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,240
or I'm playing Ottawa. And you just mentioned it. Money

405
00:23:21,279 --> 00:23:23,839
has come in on them. The Washington Capitols have been

406
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,599
giving up chances lately, and this Ottawa Senators team, not

407
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,400
only have they found their offense, they've been playing well

408
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,400
defensively in their own end. So whether it's the Under

409
00:23:33,559 --> 00:23:36,000
or whether it's Ottawa, those are the two leans that

410
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,440
I have in this one. This Every time I watch

411
00:23:39,519 --> 00:23:43,559
the Washington Capitols play, and I think there was it

412
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,640
might have been last weekend, carm I had a bet

413
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,799
on the Washington Capitals. They lost the game like two

414
00:23:48,839 --> 00:23:52,240
to one. You know, Logan Thompson stands on his head,

415
00:23:53,039 --> 00:23:56,240
but they just can't score for him, and the offense

416
00:23:56,319 --> 00:23:59,319
is a knemick right now. I don't see that changing.

417
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,480
Tonight's six and a half. If you can find it,

418
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:03,559
I'll take the under.

419
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,839
Speaker 2: What do you think, I'm not going to argue with you,

420
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,720
man six and a half. I like the under in

421
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,319
this one. Even though the Caps are giving up chances,

422
00:24:13,319 --> 00:24:17,039
they're playing well in goal. Logan Thompson is confirmed for

423
00:24:17,079 --> 00:24:19,240
this one. I would think it's going to be Linus Allmark.

424
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,000
I think he's going to get a majority of the

425
00:24:21,039 --> 00:24:23,759
starts the rest of the way for Ottawa who need

426
00:24:23,799 --> 00:24:28,960
to win games. And you talked about the fact that

427
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,240
that you know the scoring is dried up for the Capitals,

428
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,079
it gets I think a little tougher tonight. I believe

429
00:24:35,079 --> 00:24:37,039
the Ottawa Senators. I don't have the numbers in front

430
00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:39,599
of me. I believe the Auto Senators lead the league

431
00:24:40,039 --> 00:24:43,480
in fewest shots allowed. I saw a game in which

432
00:24:43,559 --> 00:24:46,559
I think it was something shy of twenty four. It

433
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,359
was like twenty three and a half shots on goal

434
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,480
or something that they're allowing per game. You're not going

435
00:24:50,559 --> 00:24:53,839
to score a lot of goals when or you're not

436
00:24:53,839 --> 00:24:56,000
going to allow a lot of goals when your goal

437
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,680
is playing well like Almark is and you're allowing less

438
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,640
than twenty four shots on goal. I think that's why

439
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:06,240
all marks save percentages a little worse than we would expect.

440
00:25:06,279 --> 00:25:09,240
It's under nine, but that's because not a lot of

441
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,519
shots on goal, you let a couple in. It obviously

442
00:25:12,559 --> 00:25:17,240
affects that save percentage. But seven of nine games for

443
00:25:17,319 --> 00:25:20,359
the Capitals since the Olympic restart have stayed under the number.

444
00:25:20,559 --> 00:25:22,200
The only two games that have gone over they beat

445
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,039
the Calgary Flames seven to three on this what was

446
00:25:25,079 --> 00:25:28,720
a horrendous road trip for the Calgary Flames, and the

447
00:25:28,759 --> 00:25:33,039
Montreal Canadians beat Washington six to two. Those are the

448
00:25:33,079 --> 00:25:37,359
only two games post Olympic break that Washington's been involved

449
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,799
in that have had at least six goals in them

450
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,960
or more. So, you know what that said, Everything else

451
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,119
has been five or less. Give me the under in

452
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:47,799
this one as well.

453
00:25:48,839 --> 00:25:52,039
Speaker 1: And you got to think, like pretty much when teams

454
00:25:52,039 --> 00:25:54,559
are trying to make the playoffs, or a game feels

455
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,599
like the playoffs for them, every game has to have

456
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,480
that playoff mindset, like you're scared make mistakes, you want

457
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,920
to be extra careful. I feel like that's got to

458
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,079
be the case here, guys, for the Ottawa Senators, I mean,

459
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,480
every game is so important for them. Actually, Karen, since

460
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,279
we're on the topic here, let's just take a little

461
00:26:12,319 --> 00:26:14,960
bit of a peek and take a look at what

462
00:26:15,079 --> 00:26:19,000
the number is for the draw in this game? What

463
00:26:19,039 --> 00:26:22,880
are you seeing for the draw here? I'm seeing plus

464
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,759
three ten? Could we see overtime in this game? The

465
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,160
Autowa Senators need wins, they need two points, not one.

466
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,359
But could we see this game go to an extra frame?

467
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,359
Plus three ten is the current numbers, so time will

468
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,440
tell with that. And you talk about shot suppression. The

469
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,720
shot suppression is really good with this Autawa Senator's team,

470
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,079
but shots on goal four has been a big thing

471
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,880
for them as well. So you know, what I think

472
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,640
could be a good look as well is the Logan

473
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,119
Thompson safe prop to the over. You know a lot

474
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,200
of times I like betting unders on goalies. I think

475
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,359
won't get that much action, But guys, this could be

476
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,680
one of those games where you've got a high volume opponent,

477
00:27:04,759 --> 00:27:09,519
a high volume Autawa Senators team against a Logan Thompson,

478
00:27:09,559 --> 00:27:11,680
who you know we just mentioned on the show. He

479
00:27:11,759 --> 00:27:15,200
has been fantastic for a long time. So if you

480
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,279
can get a pretty good number, I would take it.

481
00:27:17,319 --> 00:27:20,839
And I'm seeing at one book right now twenty four

482
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,640
and a half. And the funny thing is all Mark's

483
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,960
number is twenty two and a half. So karm you

484
00:27:27,079 --> 00:27:31,000
mentioned that shot suppression. They are literally thinking that all

485
00:27:31,079 --> 00:27:34,200
Mark is barely gonna face anything because his number is

486
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,720
twenty two and a half. But I'll give that one

487
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,480
out on the show as well, Logan Thompson over twenty

488
00:27:39,519 --> 00:27:43,079
four and a half saves, because I do have respect

489
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,759
for what he's able to do. But the more I

490
00:27:45,759 --> 00:27:47,839
talk myself into this game, car, the more I like

491
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,000
the under. And you know, every game is a must

492
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,160
win for Ottawa. I was talking to an Autawa Senators

493
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,000
fan yesterday at the store and I said, well, you

494
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,079
guys aren't gonna win every game the rest of the season,

495
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:04,400
and he said, why not, Yeah, maybe they could, Maybe

496
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:05,799
they could.

497
00:28:06,079 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 2: I'm trying to find the Ottawa one per game this season.

498
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: But what are you looking.

499
00:28:13,759 --> 00:28:18,319
Speaker 2: For my official the Ottawa Senators what they're allowing shots

500
00:28:18,319 --> 00:28:23,119
on goal per game this season. So the Otawa Senators

501
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:28,880
are allowing twenty eight it looks like twenty eight or no.

502
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:36,240
Twenty four point three, which is the second lowest, only

503
00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:39,599
to the Carolina Hurricanes at twenty four point one. So,

504
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,599
as I mentioned low shots on that's where sometimes the

505
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,880
goalieprops come in and you want to if you see

506
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:52,039
a bad saves saves number, you might want to bet

507
00:28:52,559 --> 00:28:55,720
the under in it. So the all mark one you

508
00:28:55,759 --> 00:28:58,200
said was at twenty two and a half. That seems

509
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,319
about right. Okay, it seems about right, So no mistake there.

510
00:29:03,119 --> 00:29:06,200
Let's move on, Andrew. Let's find another game to discuss

511
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,720
because we still have a few more things to cover.

512
00:29:08,839 --> 00:29:10,960
So let me get rid of this one. How's about

513
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,519
we talk about this has to be the marquee game

514
00:29:14,599 --> 00:29:19,079
of the night. It is the Dallas Stars and these

515
00:29:19,079 --> 00:29:22,279
two teams just played a little short while ago. No

516
00:29:22,359 --> 00:29:23,559
wrong one, I'm sorry.

517
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:30,119
Speaker 1: Let's get Colorado minus one fifty. There you go, bound

518
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,880
one out here, come back, come back, Let's get you

519
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:34,279
back here.

520
00:29:34,319 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 2: So Colorado snapped that win streak of the Dallas Stars

521
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,839
that I think it was like at twelve or thirteen games.

522
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,720
The Stars have been phenomenal for the most part. Andrew

523
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,240
plus one twenty seven a rapid revenge spot for you.

524
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, what are we going to get from

525
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,680
this Colorado team? They haven't played a game since Nathan

526
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,599
McKinnon called them out. He said, Hey, what the hell

527
00:30:03,599 --> 00:30:06,000
are we doing? We don't look like we're on the

528
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,640
same page. Sometimes if you're winning games, it disguises all

529
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:14,119
the problems you have. Here's the question I have for

530
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:18,759
people is that would you be more concerned if they

531
00:30:18,839 --> 00:30:23,319
lost to Pittsburgh or if they lost to Dallas? Because

532
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:28,000
I know that good teams play, they should beat everybody.

533
00:30:28,039 --> 00:30:31,200
But I don't care what anybody says. I'm the type

534
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,880
of handicapper that's on the side of teams get up

535
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,319
for some games more than the other. And I feel

536
00:30:37,359 --> 00:30:39,720
like Colorado's going to be ready to go for this one.

537
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,720
But their underlying metrics don't necessarily back that up a

538
00:30:42,759 --> 00:30:44,480
little bit here, so that's what makes it a little

539
00:30:44,519 --> 00:30:50,640
bit confusing. This to me again is an underspot. There's

540
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,519
so many times on the show this year, on Puck Time,

541
00:30:53,559 --> 00:30:56,359
I've talked about it. If a team gives up six,

542
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,880
seven or higher, I like to look towards the un

543
00:31:00,279 --> 00:31:04,119
in the next game. We know Colorado's got offensive capability,

544
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,319
We certainly know Dallas has offensive capability, and obviously we

545
00:31:08,359 --> 00:31:10,480
know the game that Dallas is off of. Both teams

546
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,640
aren't happy right now, carm I kind of like the under.

547
00:31:13,759 --> 00:31:16,359
As dangerous as it is to take an under between

548
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,880
these two teams. I'm looking to find some way, shape

549
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,400
or form to look for defense in this hockey game.

550
00:31:26,559 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 2: I would tend to agree with you, Andrew on that one.

551
00:31:30,599 --> 00:31:33,359
The Dallas Stars, Okay, I don't know what happened to

552
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,599
them last time. That was that fishy line that we

553
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,359
talked about, and make me understand why the Stars were

554
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,839
in a bigger favorite against the Utah Mammoth and the

555
00:31:42,839 --> 00:31:44,720
Mammoth win that one sixth three. You got to go

556
00:31:44,799 --> 00:31:51,319
back exactly two months to January January the eighteenth to

557
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,759
find the last time the Dallas Stars lost two games

558
00:31:54,799 --> 00:32:01,039
in a row. Andrew, they lost to the Mammoth. They

559
00:32:01,039 --> 00:32:03,240
follow that up with a four to one loss to

560
00:32:04,079 --> 00:32:07,720
Tampa Bay and then win on that insane run that

561
00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:10,480
they've been on, and they just they just keep winning games.

562
00:32:11,039 --> 00:32:14,200
This one's big in the sense of the number one

563
00:32:14,279 --> 00:32:18,559
seed in the Western Conference. It's it is still up

564
00:32:18,559 --> 00:32:21,279
for grabs. You have the Stars who are three back,

565
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,839
win this game in regulation, and you pull within one

566
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,640
game of them while you've played one game more. But

567
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,920
you're right there. The Dallas Stars will love nothing better

568
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,119
than to have a first round by, sorry not a

569
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:38,079
first round by but the number one seed and avoid

570
00:32:38,119 --> 00:32:40,319
playing the Minnesota while in the first round and let

571
00:32:40,319 --> 00:32:44,920
Colorado and Minnesota go at it in that one. Back

572
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:50,440
to back losses for the for Colorado, I've seen better,

573
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,920
I've seen other good teams, Andrew lose three four five

574
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,720
in a row. I would take the plus money here

575
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,319
with the Dallas Stars. They well, they play well on

576
00:33:01,359 --> 00:33:04,839
the road. I get it. Colorado's coming off an embarrassing loss,

577
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:10,640
but I think Landeskog's is still out of the lineup

578
00:33:10,759 --> 00:33:14,440
for him, so we'll see what happens with them. They're

579
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,279
still deep down the middle. But this is a very

580
00:33:17,319 --> 00:33:21,200
good Dallas team, and off of that loss at home

581
00:33:21,279 --> 00:33:24,839
in ot a quick rapid revenge spot. I'd rather take

582
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,680
the plus money than lay a buck forty or buck

583
00:33:27,759 --> 00:33:31,559
fifty on on the Avalanche. So I'm kind of pushing

584
00:33:31,599 --> 00:33:36,319
the buttons on some plus money place today with Pittsburgh

585
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,559
and the Dallas Stars. But if you like them, you

586
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,680
got to mention them. And that's what I'm trying to

587
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:43,640
do to you guys right now.

588
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, karm trust your gut. You're having a

589
00:33:48,079 --> 00:33:49,960
great year, You're on a great run. Trust your gut

590
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,680
with it. And you know what, Like sometimes you look

591
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,759
at a game and you want to just bet the

592
00:33:54,799 --> 00:33:57,160
team that has the plus next to it, because it's

593
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,200
two great teams right now, let's take the plus money.

594
00:34:00,759 --> 00:34:02,400
That's what it comes down to when it comes to

595
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,200
this one. Goaltending wise, I'm going to put you on

596
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,719
the spot here if the playoffs started tomorrow, who's your

597
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,559
number one goalie? Blackwood or Wedgwood? Because I thought forever

598
00:34:13,599 --> 00:34:16,719
it was Blackwood and then this year Wedgwood is almost

599
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,639
played better. But then a lot of people think that

600
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,360
Jared Bendar likes Blackwood better. So what do you think

601
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:24,440
who's your number one goalie?

602
00:34:24,519 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 2: I think, but I think black I think Blackwood, you

603
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,440
know what I mean? Like, I think the thing that

604
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,519
happens is when there's a goalie injury and the guy

605
00:34:31,559 --> 00:34:33,880
who's the number two or a very good one A

606
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,000
to use horse racing terms, a one in one A

607
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,519
a coupled entry. You have two very good goalies and

608
00:34:41,559 --> 00:34:44,519
one of them gets injured, the other guy fills in.

609
00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:48,320
He's not used to playing a you know, a forty

610
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,239
or fifty game season, but in those initial twenty twenty

611
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,599
first twenty games that he's playing, he's playing extremely well.

612
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,119
But I think over the course of a season it

613
00:34:59,159 --> 00:35:03,079
weighs on you and having Blackwood come back, you know,

614
00:35:03,079 --> 00:35:06,960
I mean, I think obviously a couple of injuries for

615
00:35:07,159 --> 00:35:09,239
Colorado also hurts them. At the beginning of the season,

616
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,119
when they were playing phenomenal hockey, Colorado and I mentioned

617
00:35:12,159 --> 00:35:16,880
him many times, were injury free. They had everyone playing.

618
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,000
It was a perfect scenario for them to go on

619
00:35:21,039 --> 00:35:24,960
an insane run with a talented team. But now you

620
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,079
miss a couple of players, you have to rejig the lines,

621
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,760
and as far as like goaltending goes, I think it's

622
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,840
got to be Blackwood. I think he shoulders more of

623
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,280
the load, and heading into the playoffs, he would be

624
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:41,079
my choice. He's been in for a couple of stinkers,

625
00:35:41,119 --> 00:35:43,519
But when you look at a game like the one

626
00:35:43,559 --> 00:35:46,440
that you know, I saw them play against Pittsburgh where

627
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,840
Wedgwood just did not look good. The five shots on

628
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,280
goalie lost three and they yank them right away of

629
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,719
that game. It is tough. You know, Pittsburgh goes on

630
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,559
to win that game seven too, but effectively, when you

631
00:35:59,599 --> 00:36:01,800
allowed three goals and then you're down I think for

632
00:36:02,039 --> 00:36:06,920
nothing at one point, the whole, the whole makeup of

633
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,280
the game changes. So even your backup goalie, who obviously

634
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,400
was Blackwood, comes in and you could say, well, he

635
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,280
allowed four goals. It is a completely different game because

636
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,360
you're playing an offensive game and not focusing on defense.

637
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,199
It's different coming in in a four nothing when you're

638
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,880
behind four nothing and coming in when you're down three

639
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,519
to two. It is a completely different game for a goalie.

640
00:36:31,559 --> 00:36:33,440
So Blackwood for me, man.

641
00:36:34,519 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's important to know who your your

642
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,119
your goalie, your number one guy is. I think that

643
00:36:40,199 --> 00:36:42,639
you don't want to have your team, or your fans

644
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,239
or anybody wondering who the number one guy is. I

645
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,760
think in the NHL, we've seen this season that it's

646
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,159
okay for teams to run two goalies quite a bit

647
00:36:52,119 --> 00:36:55,360
unless you're you know, the Tampa Bay Lightning, or the

648
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,800
New York Rangers or even probably the LA King some

649
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:03,039
teams like that. But once you get down to playoff time,

650
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,760
I think it's very important to know, you know, hey,

651
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,880
what what is going to be the best option for

652
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,719
us to have success? And then krm, it's never a

653
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,039
good thing if you go back home. Let's say you're

654
00:37:15,079 --> 00:37:19,039
the away team, you go back home, two people start

655
00:37:19,079 --> 00:37:22,480
asking do you change goalies? I'm always surprised how often

656
00:37:22,559 --> 00:37:25,400
we actually see goalie changes in the postseason.

657
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we've seen them. We've seen goalies getting knocked out.

658
00:37:30,679 --> 00:37:35,960
Remember the Louis de Ming thing. Yeah, with Pittsburgh, it

659
00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:38,800
is tough because you know, I think we saw it

660
00:37:39,599 --> 00:37:45,960
in the Toronto and Tampa series where the first two

661
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,480
games they split. The first two games of that series

662
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,280
opening round to the playoffs. I think that was a

663
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,599
series that the Leafs eventually won, but then a lost

664
00:37:53,679 --> 00:37:56,719
to the Bruins in the next round where there were

665
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:01,679
seven goals scored by the winning team on you know,

666
00:38:01,679 --> 00:38:04,400
in game one, and seven goals scored by the winning

667
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,840
team in game two. Like, what do you do if

668
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,800
your goalie allows seven goals in Game one? Do you

669
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,639
give him another chance in game two and just chalk

670
00:38:12,679 --> 00:38:14,480
it up to the team did not play while they

671
00:38:14,519 --> 00:38:18,519
weren't prepared, and you give him a second chance. This

672
00:38:18,599 --> 00:38:21,320
is why I'm not a coach or a general manager,

673
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,960
because you know, my thought is, you know, let's get

674
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,000
the guy out of there. But the worst thing I

675
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,679
think you can do andrew to a team and that

676
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:33,159
locker room is flip flopping goalies throughout this thing. The

677
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,400
Edmonton Oders did it though, you know, with Stewart Skinner

678
00:38:36,599 --> 00:38:41,559
and god, now his name is gonna streak my mind.

679
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 1: No last year pick pick.

680
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 2: Picker, that's it. I mean they So I think you

681
00:38:50,079 --> 00:38:52,840
gotta go with your guy. And if you was your

682
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,840
guy all season long, unless there's an injury no one

683
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,440
knows about, uh, you stick with your guy and you

684
00:39:00,519 --> 00:39:02,239
got you have to give him at least a couple

685
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,719
of games even if he struggles in game one. If

686
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,239
he struggles again in game two and it wasn't because

687
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,920
of the defense or you're forwards not back checking, then

688
00:39:11,199 --> 00:39:14,119
maybe you switch the goalie for game three to inspire

689
00:39:15,559 --> 00:39:17,480
or give him that kick kind of like a fight.

690
00:39:17,679 --> 00:39:20,960
When you're down two or three goals, it's supposed to

691
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,039
spark your bench.

692
00:39:23,079 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: And sometimes you just need that because it's like you

693
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,280
can't fire all the players. You can't bench all the players,

694
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,880
so you have to do something too to get the

695
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:31,719
guys going, right.

696
00:39:32,519 --> 00:39:36,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, definitely. All right, So we've we've settled on

697
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,639
we're taking the Dallas Stars tonight, right.

698
00:39:39,079 --> 00:39:44,159
Speaker 1: Well, I am, I'm taking the under take, all right.

699
00:39:44,679 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 2: So we have a couple of things to do your

700
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,360
I think what we're gonna do Andrew is, let's do

701
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,800
the same game Parla, if you have it ready some

702
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,679
prop bets, then I'll do the pod. Then we'll do

703
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:02,320
a make or miss with you, and then we will

704
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,920
close out the show with some promos. How does that sound.

705
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:11,199
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the make or miss, but I'm

706
00:40:11,199 --> 00:40:13,039
going to say this, KRM, I've got a five percent

707
00:40:13,119 --> 00:40:16,639
loaded tonight in the NHL. You guys know, the team

708
00:40:16,679 --> 00:40:20,000
totals have been my thing and really looking forward to

709
00:40:20,199 --> 00:40:23,559
this one tonight. This is one that I looked at

710
00:40:24,079 --> 00:40:26,559
quite a bit last night. I really want to get

711
00:40:26,559 --> 00:40:29,360
in a role with these five percent plays and I

712
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,679
think just everything really adds up very well with this.

713
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,280
So you guys can get it. You guys know, I

714
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,480
love the team totals, and when you bet this, you

715
00:40:35,519 --> 00:40:37,400
don't have to worry about what the opponent does. You're

716
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,480
betting for one team to reach third goal number and

717
00:40:40,519 --> 00:40:43,159
that's all you need. It's worked out for us a

718
00:40:43,159 --> 00:40:46,280
few times where hey, you don't have to worry about

719
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,199
what the other team does. You just worry about one

720
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,960
offense versus one defense and one goaltender. So five percent play.

721
00:40:52,519 --> 00:40:56,280
March Madness kicks off tomorrow. Technically there have been games

722
00:40:56,639 --> 00:40:59,440
yesterday and today there will be, but the real March

723
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,960
Madness gets going on Thursday. I will have low volume plays,

724
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,480
So Carm, why am I saying this? If you guys

725
00:41:05,519 --> 00:41:09,039
are jumping involved with my five percent play today, I

726
00:41:09,199 --> 00:41:11,760
encourage you to get a three day or get a

727
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,639
seven day pass, or you can get that hat trick

728
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,079
special three days of NHL. That's the best way to go.

729
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,079
You know, there's one play today for five percent for

730
00:41:22,199 --> 00:41:25,159
five percent play, I also have a three percent play

731
00:41:25,519 --> 00:41:27,920
and tomorrow. Car mentioned it off the top. There are

732
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,559
a ton of games on Thursday that we can make

733
00:41:31,639 --> 00:41:35,360
money in as well. So comment here from Caleb says,

734
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:39,159
do people wait until goalies confirmed? Yes, Carm and I

735
00:41:39,199 --> 00:41:41,719
wait until goalies are confirmed. But with some of the games,

736
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,360
we're typically a bit more confident in which goalies are

737
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,360
going to be there, so we don't have to worry

738
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,599
about it as much. But that's kind of what I

739
00:41:49,639 --> 00:41:52,239
said before the show, right carm when we're just getting started,

740
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,960
that sometimes you're going to have goalies come from confirm

741
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:55,960
and sometimes you're not. Right.

742
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, the only game in which the goalies are for

743
00:42:01,519 --> 00:42:04,719
both teams are confirmed is the Washington Ottawa one. It's

744
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,800
all Mark and Logan Thompson. So those are the two

745
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,880
goalies if you're betting under six and a half, those

746
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,039
are the two goalies that you want in goal. And Andrew,

747
00:42:14,079 --> 00:42:17,559
someone who said that this guy here is on the

748
00:42:17,559 --> 00:42:22,199
ice this morning doing sprints sky Sprints, said the kid

749
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,599
is back on the ice. I love to see it.

750
00:42:25,159 --> 00:42:28,079
We'll see if that makes a difference. Andrew, give us

751
00:42:28,079 --> 00:42:28,880
a winner.

752
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: Love to see it. Plus three sixty plus three sixty

753
00:42:32,519 --> 00:42:35,360
Pittsburgh and Carolina. I told you, guys, I like the over,

754
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,039
So let's get some punt points for this one. Brian

755
00:42:39,119 --> 00:42:44,360
Russ point, Seth Jarvis point and Andre Svechnikov three plus

756
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,000
shots on goal plus three sixty. Not too bad, guys.

757
00:42:48,039 --> 00:42:50,760
Three picks three sixty. I feel like it's a pretty

758
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:54,280
good number. Two top dogs Jarvis and Rust and of

759
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:58,119
course Svechnikov is a shooter. That guy has not seen

760
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,239
a shot he doesn't want to take, so you can

761
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:02,760
get that one at a pretty good price, or you

762
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,079
can get even crazier with the four plus shots on

763
00:43:05,159 --> 00:43:07,760
goal as well with him, he is a good matchup.

764
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,679
Pittsburgh gives up a ton of shots to his position

765
00:43:11,039 --> 00:43:15,239
on a daily basis. So Russ, Sveetchnikov, and Jarvis, those

766
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,000
are the plays for today. And hope you guys all

767
00:43:18,039 --> 00:43:22,400
cashed yesterday with me. Matthew Schaeffer. He got three three

768
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,199
shots on goal and he got an assist, so we

769
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,559
did not get the fourth. Unfortunately the fourth would have

770
00:43:27,559 --> 00:43:30,480
been real nice at plus one seventy five. But we

771
00:43:30,519 --> 00:43:33,000
did still make money with Matthew Schaeffer. And I'll tell you,

772
00:43:33,079 --> 00:43:35,800
carm I was a bit worried yesterday because it seemed

773
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,880
like the whole world liked it. And I know it's

774
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,800
it's you know, it's sometimes you're gonna all be on

775
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,880
the same play, but it's like an NFL Sunday when

776
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,960
the whole world needs this team to cover, you get

777
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,360
a little bit worried. And it seemed like the entire

778
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,920
NHL betting world liked Matthew Shaeffer yesterday, but he got

779
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,039
the job done for us. So today these are our

780
00:43:54,039 --> 00:43:55,840
three guys. Let's make some money.

781
00:43:57,079 --> 00:43:59,599
Speaker 2: Make some money. I love the idea of making money.

782
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:01,679
Speaker 1: Who hey, why not?

783
00:44:02,119 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 2: That's why we're here to make money. We don't always

784
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:09,039
get it right, but trying to lead you along the

785
00:44:09,159 --> 00:44:13,199
road of how we come up with some of the

786
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:17,480
decisions that we make hopefully helps and whether you agree

787
00:44:17,519 --> 00:44:20,599
or disagree. If you disagree, you don't play it. If

788
00:44:20,639 --> 00:44:25,679
you agree, you play it. But it's more about the given,

789
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,159
trying to give a little bit of knowledge some of

790
00:44:28,199 --> 00:44:33,320
the sites that we use and some of what what

791
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:37,039
we used to put all these plays together. Speaking of which, Andrew,

792
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,719
it's about time we brought the pod back. I took

793
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,239
a little break with the pod because I had that

794
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,400
little three day losing streak, and I don't like losing streaks,

795
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,159
but a two day win streak, So let's bring back,

796
00:44:49,559 --> 00:44:53,760
sir pod the pod. And I saw someone asking why

797
00:44:54,599 --> 00:44:57,760
is this line at six? It opened up at five

798
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,000
and a half. It's at six, and I like it.

799
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,000
The Devils are playing a little bit better. The Devils

800
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,400
are scoring goals. Over the last eight games. Devils are

801
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,480
scoring almost four goals per game, three point eighty eight

802
00:45:08,679 --> 00:45:11,440
goals per game. That's a number that if you were

803
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:13,960
averaging that throughout the NHL season, you would be in

804
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,159
a playoff spot right now. Well, they're only doing it

805
00:45:16,199 --> 00:45:18,719
over the last eight games, but we only need them

806
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:22,559
to do it over the next or do it tonight.

807
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:27,360
Jonathan Quick in goal. Quick off a good season last year.

808
00:45:27,679 --> 00:45:30,599
In the season before, he's having a miserable season. He's

809
00:45:30,639 --> 00:45:34,440
like five and fifteen in goal for this New York

810
00:45:34,519 --> 00:45:36,960
Rangers team. Andrew, this is one of those ones where

811
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,679
neither team is going to make the playoffs. A little

812
00:45:40,679 --> 00:45:44,199
bit of stat padding tonight, some goals, I think, and

813
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,760
who knows, maybe even a Rangers home victory, as rare

814
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,400
as they have been. I don't care how it gets there.

815
00:45:52,599 --> 00:45:54,559
I just want over six goals and that is your

816
00:45:54,599 --> 00:45:55,079
pod play.

817
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:00,639
Speaker 1: Don't care who wins, don't care who scores, Let's get goals.

818
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,000
I like those games.

819
00:46:02,039 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 2: I got that T shirt that it is a puck

820
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,800
time t shirt that says, I don't care who wins,

821
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:12,880
I bet the over. It is funny because sometimes I'll

822
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:14,719
wear that with some friends when we go to a

823
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:18,320
sports bar and stuff, and generally the people who are

824
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,800
watching games at the sports bar, they just all love

825
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,840
betting overs and they're like, hey, where'd you get that shirt? Right? So,

826
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:31,079
you know, the supplier that I had just up and disappeared.

827
00:46:31,159 --> 00:46:33,239
I lost a little bit of money with them. But

828
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:37,760
I'm trying to find reasonable shirts and some hats that

829
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,920
swag that I can give out during the NHL playoffs,

830
00:46:41,039 --> 00:46:46,239
So I will I will try and get that done.

831
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,440
It is still the same, the same thing. All pod

832
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:54,400
plays are always two hundred flatbed of two hundred, So

833
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,119
if it's minus one ten, it's two hundred and minus

834
00:46:57,119 --> 00:47:00,920
one ten, which returns about like one ninety or something.

835
00:47:01,039 --> 00:47:06,880
So that is two hundred of the original five thousand

836
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,079
dollars bank roll. So that that is what it is

837
00:47:09,159 --> 00:47:12,840
as far as that goes. Now, a new segment that

838
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,559
we started the other day and one that I like Andrew.

839
00:47:16,119 --> 00:47:19,639
I am putting Andrew on the hot seats with the

840
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:25,920
make or Miss segment. Andrew, there you go, take it away.

841
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:32,719
The La Kings minus won sixty five to make the playoffs. Yes, no,

842
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,840
plus one thirty five there on the outside looking in

843
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:40,800
right now. But my god, look at that schedule and

844
00:47:42,639 --> 00:47:47,760
that looks like a schedule that if Jake Paul was boxing,

845
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,360
he would he would schedule a lot of these for

846
00:47:51,519 --> 00:47:53,599
his to pad his record.

847
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: What do you think I think Jake Paul must be

848
00:47:56,519 --> 00:47:58,840
an owner of the La Kings he set the schedule

849
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,039
up that way. Great, great call by you, KRM on

850
00:48:01,079 --> 00:48:06,159
that one, because sometimes you have to respect the books

851
00:48:06,639 --> 00:48:08,519
and we have to respect what the market is thinking.

852
00:48:08,559 --> 00:48:11,679
Then you ask yourself, Okay, why is this the way

853
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:15,400
it is? You have a team that is not even

854
00:48:15,519 --> 00:48:21,119
currently sitting in a playoff position minus one sixty five

855
00:48:21,199 --> 00:48:24,559
to make the playoffs. You're gonna have a handful of

856
00:48:24,559 --> 00:48:27,119
people say, wow, that's a great value on the plus

857
00:48:27,119 --> 00:48:29,199
one thirty five, But you have to ask yourself, why

858
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,320
is this number the way it is? And when you've

859
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:34,440
got Philadelphia, when you've got Calgary, when you've got Vancouver,

860
00:48:34,519 --> 00:48:37,639
and you've got Saint Louis in Nashville, in Toronto, I

861
00:48:37,679 --> 00:48:41,079
mean not even just once or twice some of these teams,

862
00:48:42,679 --> 00:48:45,000
as Titan CT says, in the live chat. It sure

863
00:48:45,039 --> 00:48:47,360
looks easy on paper. Now, not all these games are

864
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,079
gonna be easy, But then the question remains about the

865
00:48:50,159 --> 00:48:52,559
other teams around them. And the other team we're talking

866
00:48:52,599 --> 00:48:56,719
about will be Seattle, it'd be San Jose. Can LA

867
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:00,679
be better than those teams can be? And my simple

868
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,440
reasoning is is that I don't think Seattle has an

869
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,719
exciting enough team to put goals up on the board

870
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:10,719
in big moments. There's going to be times where Seattle

871
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,719
needs their key players to find the back of the

872
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:17,920
net and have some clutch moments. LA. They've dealt with

873
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:22,000
injuries all year. I feel for Kevin Fiala, but I

874
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,840
think that they're going to punch their ticket to the

875
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:29,280
postseason this year. This LA Kings team will be in Hey, sure,

876
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,280
am I coming on here and giving out a minus

877
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:34,440
one sixty five? Yes, But the idea behind this gar

878
00:49:34,639 --> 00:49:37,880
is that hopefully you and I are talking next Wednesday

879
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,519
together and this price is not minus one sixty five anymore.

880
00:49:42,039 --> 00:49:44,519
That's the name of the game, that's the goal here.

881
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:46,239
I think LA gets in here.

882
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,760
Speaker 2: I like it. Come the end of the season, if

883
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,639
you're finishing off with Seattle, who are likely eliminated at

884
00:49:54,639 --> 00:49:57,559
that point, even though the game is in Seattle, it

885
00:49:57,639 --> 00:50:01,519
is much more a much bigger game for the LA Kings,

886
00:50:01,519 --> 00:50:04,440
and they play well on the road, and then they

887
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,760
go to Vancouver and Calgary, and those are two teams

888
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:14,920
that could very well Andrew be battling for last place

889
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:20,639
in the Western Conference and the greatest chance or percentage

890
00:50:20,679 --> 00:50:25,159
wise of winning the draft lottery, and McKenna. So neither

891
00:50:25,159 --> 00:50:27,400
one of those teams is even gonna want to go overtime.

892
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,639
So it's like, if you wanted to circle a couple

893
00:50:30,639 --> 00:50:33,880
of games to play, I would circle the Vancouver and

894
00:50:34,039 --> 00:50:37,760
Calgary games. At the end of the season. If the

895
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,920
LA Kings are right in there and battling for a

896
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,800
playoff spot, those are two that they're going to be favored,

897
00:50:44,079 --> 00:50:46,159
and they're gonna be favored by much bigger prices than

898
00:50:46,199 --> 00:50:48,599
you would normally see. They're going to go into Vancouver

899
00:50:49,159 --> 00:50:54,199
hypothetically they are holding on to the eighth playoff spot,

900
00:50:54,519 --> 00:50:59,119
the eighth spot, the second wild card, by a point

901
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:03,119
or two over anybody. They go into Vancouver, they are

902
00:51:03,159 --> 00:51:06,159
going to be about minus one ninety. They go into Calgary,

903
00:51:06,199 --> 00:51:09,559
they are going to be about minus one eighty during

904
00:51:09,559 --> 00:51:12,320
the regular season, those numbers would be about minus one

905
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:16,559
forty minus one forty five in both instances. So they're

906
00:51:16,599 --> 00:51:18,079
going to make the book makers are going to make

907
00:51:18,079 --> 00:51:21,079
you pay for it because they know they're not stupid.

908
00:51:21,119 --> 00:51:24,920
They don't build these hotels in Vegas with their own money.

909
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,800
They build it with ours, yes, and the slot players money.

910
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:32,119
So that's the way I look at it as far

911
00:51:32,159 --> 00:51:34,639
as far as that goes. But you know, a couple

912
00:51:34,639 --> 00:51:39,639
of games against Calgary that they have Saint Louis, We'll

913
00:51:39,639 --> 00:51:41,800
see what Saint Louis and Nashville do. They're kind of

914
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:45,199
hanging in there and stuff. But you get to play

915
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:49,039
Vancouver twice as well too, you play Nashville twice, you

916
00:51:49,079 --> 00:51:51,920
play the Toronto Maple Leafs. Come on, man, the Toronto

917
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:57,679
Maple Leafs. Andrew I have we're running late, but I

918
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,440
have a bottle of champagne that I keep on nice

919
00:52:00,519 --> 00:52:03,519
every year. For the official elimination day of the Toronto

920
00:52:03,559 --> 00:52:08,400
Maple Leiefs, I was on vacation and I had them

921
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,360
bring one to my room and as the game ended

922
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:15,000
and at least were eliminated, I filmed the video posted

923
00:52:15,039 --> 00:52:18,239
it on Twitter for all of my Lee friends popped

924
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,320
the champagne for the official elimination of the Toronto Maple.

925
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 1: Oh I remember that. I remember that now I saw

926
00:52:23,519 --> 00:52:27,440
that video. Yes, I remember, Yes, you got your you

927
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,639
got your dam damn Bianco.

928
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 2: You troll. Okay, listen, that is great, guys. I hope

929
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:35,719
we gave you, guys a lot of knowledge. I have

930
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:40,039
a play up in the Champions League today, goes at.

931
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:42,920
I have one play a four percent best bet in

932
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:49,000
the NHL. Last night's was the Tampa Bay Lightning in regulation.

933
00:52:49,079 --> 00:52:51,519
They wanted six to two, so three to o this week,

934
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,920
hoping to make it four No, heading into a couple

935
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:58,360
of big games on tomorrow's card. But Andrew, you have

936
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,480
a five percent play. Tell us again and then close

937
00:53:01,519 --> 00:53:01,960
up the show.

938
00:53:02,519 --> 00:53:06,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, five percent, big bet. Love this slate overall, two

939
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:10,159
plays for me so far in the NHL. Again, guys,

940
00:53:10,159 --> 00:53:12,599
you know I love the team totals. Worry about one team.

941
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:15,840
One team only to get to their number. Will bet

942
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,559
against a poor defense and a goaltender. I think that

943
00:53:18,639 --> 00:53:21,079
will not have a good night. Get that at W
