I'm wearing last year's Western Conference 10 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 2: champion shirt, which is just more I wore it last 11 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 2: night too, which is just more indication of how stupid 12 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 2: confident I want. Otherwise, like why am I wearing? Why 13 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 2: would I jinx them? And yet I didn't care so 14 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 2: and I didn't drink them. 15 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: Well, it worked out and we're going to talk about 16 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 1: jinxes today for sure, because there's a big thing that 17 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,959 Speaker 1: the Oilers and McDavid did last night that we will 18 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 1: get to.

As we get into the Stanley Cup Finals. 26 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: So lots to get into here, lots of storylines, lots 27 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: of different things we can talk about, lots of bets. 28 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: You cast your Game five bet there for the Carolina 29 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: and Florida series, so we made some money there. I 30 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: got the Panthers to win Game five on their own, 31 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: so that was nice there. So obviously we've got the 32 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: Florida Panthers and the Evonton Oilers Part two. They rematch 33 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: again in the Stanley Cup Finals last year with the 34 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: Florida Panthers winning this They've never made it for the 35 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: third consecutive year, so I guess in hockey terms, we 36 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: consider this to be a dynasty. 37 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, like I guess, I hadn't 38 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 2: really thought of it, but maybe. I mean, they keep 39 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: arriving out of the East no matter who else is 40 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: doing anything. But you know, again with the rearranged playoffs 41 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 2: this year was also like did they you know? Was 42 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: the setup in the best way possible? For them, which 43 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 2: I kind of start to believe that it was a 44 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 2: little bit. 45 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I've kind of been having this conversation with 46 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: my friends of you know, he can't, I guess considered 47 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: a dynasty because they've only got one championship so far. 48 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: It's just three appearances. You look at the Golden State 49 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: Warriors and New England Patriots to Kansas City Chiefs. But 50 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: I just feel like in hockey it's not the eighties anymore. 51 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: It's so much harder to get to multiple finals, just 52 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 1: as we've seen with upsets and all that. So I 53 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: think they're pretty close. And then I saw a thing 54 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: the two thousan You looked at the twenty fourteen NHL draft, 55 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: by the way or how that worked out, and I 56 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: was looking at it today. Number one pick was Aaron 57 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: Ecklad by the Florida Panthers, still there. Number two was 58 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: I know, dry Settle went through to Edmonton. Number two 59 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: was Reinhart to Buffalo, who then got traded for a 60 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: second round twenty twenty two pick. Eight years later, Bennett 61 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: was number four. He also got traded, so the Panthers 62 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: have three of the top four picks, where he went 63 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: to Calgary so it's interesting to see how they've built 64 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: sort of the old fashion wakes. I think a lot 65 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: of times they're saying, you know, the big thing is 66 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: the Panthers get the tax breaks while the players want 67 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: to go there. But when you look at it, they've 68 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: actually kind of built it through the draft. So you 69 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: did mention the playoff format. How do you feel I 70 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: know we've talked about this before the one versus eight. 71 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: We had some great first round series, great second round series, 72 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: then we get to the conference finals. Both of them 73 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: wrap up in five games. Did you find them taking 74 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: yourself out of the Oilers fan part of it? Were 75 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: they anti climactic series? Were they still exciting? How did 76 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: you feel about that? 77 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 2: I feel like they were pretty anti climactic. I mean, 78 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 2: I think that even the discussions that you and I had, 79 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: even with the I don't know, can Carolina do this 80 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 2: type of thing, we also talked about how it kind 81 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: of felt inevitable, like the rematch really kind of seemed 82 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 2: like it was set up specifically for this. What you know, 83 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 2: I mean, you liked Carolina, you liked the stars that 84 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: it was. I feel like it was okay, maybe on 85 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 2: paper it wouldn't it shouldn't have gone this way that 86 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 2: the way that it went, And I'm not sure who 87 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 2: else you would put in the conference finals to have 88 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 2: made it better, like for any of these teams. 89 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, and I think the Dallas Evonton series 90 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: was certainly entertaining. I think more entertaining than Florida Carolina, 91 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: which was pretty one sided. I think there, you know, 92 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 1: there were a couple of games Dallas could have maybe 93 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: won and got this to a game six or maybe 94 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: a game seven. The end of the day, I think 95 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: these were just the two best teams. But I think 96 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: of you know, Dallas Colorado being a great series, you 97 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: think of Winnipeg being a great series. Florida and Toronto 98 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: they go to a game seven, So it's it's you know, 99 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: would you prefer the Leafs and the Panthers to be 100 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: in the conference finals. I don't know, but I know 101 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: it's going to be a big topic of conversation, as 102 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: it always is, because you know, when the most eyes 103 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: are on you in the conference finals for one for one, 104 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: see you later, time to go home, so be interesting 105 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: to see. I don't think anything is going to change 106 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: in that sense. I think the NHL just likes that 107 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: system way too much, and you've got your Stanley cut 108 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: bet there on the oilers, So what are you planning 109 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: to Are you planning to play off of that and 110 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: taking Florida here? Are you just gonna ride it with Edmonton? 111 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 2: I took Florida when they were plus one twenty five, 112 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 2: just that conversation that we had, and I'm like, I 113 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 2: don't think that I did. However, last night I looked 114 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: at it. I was like, so, let's see how this 115 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 2: set up. And I was sitting there and I was like, oh, 116 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 2: such cowards with the minus one ten minus one ten thing. 117 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 2: I'm like, come on, But yeah, no, I took them 118 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 2: at plus one twenty five just to offset. So I 119 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 2: will come out ahead either way. 120 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: But and I think we kind of predicted yet. I 121 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if we get to the end and 122 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: they just say minus one ten minus one ten, especially 123 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: because we've got so much time before Game one. Let's 124 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,559 Speaker 1: see where that's It's already kind of gone a little 125 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: bit towards Edmonton. I think they're like minus one twelve 126 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: or minus one thirteen now, so it will be interesting 127 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: to see how that shakes out. 128 00:05:59,000 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 2: Now. 129 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: I do want to talk about Stanley Cup odds, but 130 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: before we do, I do want to talk to you 131 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: about an offer at FanDuel.

So before 142 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: the playoffs started, the Florida Panthers were plus three point 143 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: fifty to win the Eastern Conference, which they did, so 144 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: if you bet that they cashed. The West was interesting, 145 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: and we talked about this a lot. The Stars and 146 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: the Avalanche were both the favorites to come out of 147 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: the West. Oilers were third at plus four fifty, and 148 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: it's one of those things I'm looking. You look at 149 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: it now at the benefit of hindsight, and you go, 150 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: why the heck did I not take Edmonton Oilers at 151 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: plus four fifty. They looked mortal at the start of 152 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: round one, and there we are. And then you look 153 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: at the Stanley Cup odds beforehand. You know you got 154 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: a plus eleven hundred I think, or a plus one thousand. 155 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: The Oilers were around plus nine hundred, the Panthers were 156 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: plus eight hundred, which were the second best odds before 157 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup started. And now it's obviously shrunk all 158 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,559 Speaker 1: the way down to essentially even money. And then another 159 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: thing that's interesting. When we wrapped up last week's show, 160 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: we said, Connor McDavid for the con smythe is plus 161 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: one sixty five. You're never going to find better odds 162 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: in a first of all, did you bet him at 163 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: plus one sixty five? 164 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, me too, when I was like, yeah, I mean, 165 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 2: if they make it, I just don't know who else 166 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 2: takes it. 167 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: So yeah, and he opened. He was the second favorite 168 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: behind Nathan McKinnon. He was plus fifteen hundred to win 169 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: the con Smyth before the playoffs started, and I'm kicking 170 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: myself all the way through because he was plus fifteen 171 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: hundred before round two, he was plus eight hundred, before 172 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: round three, he was plus three fifty. He's now down 173 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: to plus one twenty. So if you got the plus 174 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: one sixty five last week, good for you. Do you 175 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: think there's still value there at taking him at plus 176 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: one twenty, Yeah. 177 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 2: I think there's definitely value. I don't know. I don't 178 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 2: know personally if someone from the losing team wins the 179 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 2: consum ice ever, but I also think that if this 180 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 2: is even close, or if it's a high scoring and 181 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 2: the Panthers somehow win, I mean, if Bobrovski gives up 182 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 2: more goal, of like, who else are you going to 183 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 2: give it to? But yeah, you know, yeah, I just 184 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 2: don't have any issue. If it's plus money. There's so 185 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 2: many bets I will make if when you give it 186 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 2: to me, I'm McDavid. So this one seems like, I mean, 187 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 2: if they win, there's no question. 188 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: And let's just say hypothetically, I don't want to put 189 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: it into the universe for you, but let's just say 190 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: the Panthers win this Daily Cup. Bobrovski's the current favorite 191 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 1: at plus two fifty got bark Off at plus five 192 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: fifteen and to Chuck all the way down at plus 193 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: eighteen hundred. Do you think Bobrovski is to play there 194 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: if the Panthers were to win this. 195 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 2: Sort of I was looking today about like which players 196 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 2: had really good series last year, and Kochuck was was solid, 197 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 2: and so for his number to be that low, I 198 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 2: that's tempting to me. But I mean, I think that 199 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 2: they have that scored correctly because basically what they're saying 200 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 2: is Edmonton is going to try to outscore him. It's 201 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 2: on Barofsky to stop that. And so I think that 202 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 2: it's okay that he's there. I'm not going to bet it, 203 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 2: but I think that Kokchuck could also have just a 204 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 2: blow up series and steal it. 205 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: So I agree. And when I saw that too, to me, 206 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: it's one of those things where like I think McDavid 207 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: at plus one twenty is great because I think that 208 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: that's probably the most likely situation. But yeah, when I 209 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: looked at Florida, I'm like, this is an opportunity that 210 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: let's just go hunting for some value here. You've already 211 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: got plus money on McDavid. That to me, to Chuck 212 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: knowing how he plays in the finals in the playoffs 213 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: in general, he's the type of guy that plus eighteen hundred. Like, 214 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: I just think, if you give to Chuck eighteen times 215 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: to be the best player in the series, is he 216 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: going to do it more than once? And so in 217 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: that sense, I feel like there is some value there. 218 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: So I think for myself McDavid, I've already got the 219 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: plus one sixty five, but I still like it at 220 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: plus one twenty and I do not hate Kachuk at 221 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: plus eighteen hundred at all. So as we get into 222 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: this series, as we mentioned, it's opened up basically the 223 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: same on either side, minus one ten on the Oilers, 224 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: minus one ten on the Panthers. When you look at 225 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: this series spread, there's some money to be made there 226 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: if you so choose, If you think that this series 227 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: is going to be a quick one, You've got the 228 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: Oilers minus one and a half, they're plus one eighty 229 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: and the Panthers at minus one and a half are 230 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,319 Speaker 1: plus one seventy. So we talked about it a little bit, 231 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: but do you think that this is how you expected 232 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: the lines to open for the series? Markets and what 233 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: do you think about the series spreads. Do you think 234 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: one of these teams can get it done in five 235 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: games or less. 236 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, actually we'll talk about that a little bit. But 237 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 2: I do think that this could actually get lopsided in 238 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 2: a hurry. So it is interesting to me that the 239 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,079 Speaker 2: Panthers spread is actually that it has better odds and 240 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 2: the oiler spread either way, Like I don't know, Like 241 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 2: in my head, I when I again, when we get 242 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 2: to our other bets, I'm going to make a case. 243 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 2: But you know, I think the smart money is to 244 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 2: avoid the spread at this point because it went seven 245 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 2: last year, even after being down three to zero. It's hard. 246 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 2: It's hard to really see if one of these teams 247 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 2: can kind of just dominate it. But I'm still not 248 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 2: a big fan of the spread. 249 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: That's how I felt as well, and I mean stupidly. 250 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: I guess my favorite bet from round three was for 251 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: both series to go six or more games, and neither 252 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: of them went to six games. And I have the 253 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 1: same feeling here of just this is what's going to 254 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: be interesting, because what I loved about the Eastern and 255 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: the Western Conference finals was that Florida and Carolina were 256 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: so similar that was going to be an under series 257 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: there wasn't going to be a ton of scoring. Dallas 258 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 1: and Edmonton were pretty similar. That was going to be 259 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: a highest scoring series. So now you take the highest scoring, 260 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: the best defensively, you put it together and now it's like, okay, 261 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: well it was an automatic over for Edmonton Dallas, it 262 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: was an automatic under for Carolina Florida. Once we start 263 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: getting into the games, which we're not going to talk 264 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: too much about today, but once we start getting into 265 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: the games, how are you looking at this? Like, I know, 266 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: game one you can get six's already, Like, do you 267 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: think that the offense can overpower here and we're looking 268 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: more towards overs or are we looking more towards unders? 269 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 2: I feel like that entirely depends on which Skinner shows up, right. 270 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 2: I think that because I think that others are going 271 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 2: to put three or more goals up pretty easily, Like 272 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 2: not I mean not easily, but I mean I think 273 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 2: that they'll get to three. The questions is Skinner going 274 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 2: to give up four? So it's that's that's how you 275 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 2: have to look at it. The return of Eckholm is huge, 276 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 2: I think, and now that he's got like six days 277 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 2: of rest, like that's just a monster opportunity there, so 278 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 2: so that with his return, I'm a little bit leaning 279 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 2: towards the under sometimes. But when we get back together 280 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 2: on Tuesday, I'll probably give you an entire speech on 281 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 2: why we should the over. So it's you know, right now, 282 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 2: I'm just like, yeah, I want to see how the 283 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 2: first game goes. But the fact that it's in Edmonton, 284 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm like, I don't know, I would still 285 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 2: if the over stays plus money, I'm like, I'll just 286 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 2: I'll take it. 287 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: So that was my thought I did. I had it 288 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: on the Best bet graphic. Briefly, I took it off, 289 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: but I have bet game one over. It's minus I've 290 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,599 Speaker 1: got the six, so you can get a six and 291 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 1: a half if you want the plus money. I just 292 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: took the six because I always I'm obsessed with push 293 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 1: potential in hockey, and it was minus one ten or 294 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: minus one fifteen, I think, So I did take that 295 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: initial over, and as you mentioned, the deciding factor for 296 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: me was that this game is in Edmonton. They are 297 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what the streak is now, is they 298 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: had won ten of twelve. It might be like either 299 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: twelve of fourteen or something like that. Now like they've 300 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: just been rolling and their offense has been rolling that 301 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: now they roll right into Edmonton and they just feel 302 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: like a different team. And the one thing, there's two 303 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: things that you mentioned that I want to talk about, 304 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: one being the goalie, but got to start with it. 305 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: They touched the trophy. So as tradition, if you I mean, 306 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: I'm sure if you're watching this, you're probably a hockey fan. 307 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: But if you're not, when the Eastern Conference Finals and 308 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: the Western Conference Finals champions are named, they get a trophy. 309 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 1: There is the Clarence Campbell Trophy and there's the Prince 310 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: of Wales Trophy. For the Western Conference, it's the Clarence 311 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: Campbell Last year and if there's a stigma, you don't 312 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: touch the trophy. You certainly don't touch the Stanley Cup 313 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: until you win it, but you don't touch the you 314 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: can or you can't. Yeah, last year the Edmond Snoilers 315 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: refused to touch the Clarence Campbell Trophy. They lost. This year, 316 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: they touched it. Connor McDavid, there's this funny picture floating 317 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: around and him like very unsure or should he should 318 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: he not? Afterwards he said, well, you know what, last 319 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: year we didn't and it didn't work out. Florida Panthers, 320 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: by the way, didn't touch it last year. One didn't 321 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: touch it this year. What do you make of this? 322 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: Do you think it was a smart thing? I actually 323 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: I like this move because I think again last it 324 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: just to me it shows last year they were a 325 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: little bit timid. They were a little bit scared. It 326 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: was new to them. The Panthers had been there already 327 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: when they lost to Vegas, so they were They had 328 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: a little bit of hesitancy. And to me, this shows, 329 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: you know what, We're just going to go win this now. 330 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: Like I know, I keep bringing up the four Nations, 331 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: but it's such a huge deal for those players to 332 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: have won that tournament. McDavid scores the winning goal in that. 333 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: To me, it just shows this mentality of like, I'm 334 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: not letting us lose it. We're gonna go win this now. 335 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: How do you feel about it? 336 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 2: Yeah? That was the first of all. I left so hard. 337 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 2: When he was standing there and he looked back and 338 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: it was kind of that it was that look of 339 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 2: are we sure we're doing this? Like obviously they talked 340 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 2: about it before, you know, I went I told you 341 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 2: last time, I went to the Hockey Hall of Fame 342 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 2: last summer and they were not in the Stanley Cup yet, 343 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 2: but they were in the finals and the Stanley Cup 344 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 2: was there, and so we stood on the platform, my 345 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 2: parents and my wife and I and she was my 346 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 2: wife's like, can I touch it? 347 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: Right? 348 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 2: And the photographer was like, he's like, well, most people 349 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 2: don't do that, like because the team would lose. But 350 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 2: I was like, my wife is so impulsive that I 351 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 2: think she touched it and didn't want to tell me 352 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 2: after and then Edmonton went on to lose. 353 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: Now we know who's exactly. 354 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 2: So I've blamed her for a year. Yeah, I mean again, 355 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 2: this comes back to I I've never I don't know 356 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 2: it's been I watched a lot of sports and this 357 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 2: team is literally acting exactly how you said, Like there 358 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 2: is there is a strong effort going on like like 359 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 2: we don't care, tradition doesn't matter. And yeah, but there 360 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 2: that moment where he was just like are we sure? 361 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: Was totally it's gonna be. Just it blazed in my 362 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: memory of him, look like he looked like a little 363 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: kid all of a sudden, and I done it. Like 364 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: Conor McDavid is a superstitious player. He's worn the same 365 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: socks if you've ever seen that, the same sock since 366 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: Junior that has have hold in them. Like he is 367 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: someone who is very specific with how he goes about 368 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: his business. So I love to see that to say, yeah, 369 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: screw it, we're just gonna go win. And if we don't, 370 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: it's not because of a superstition. It's not because we 371 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: touched a trophy. It's because the Florida Panthers are going 372 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 1: to have to beat us. So that to me, and 373 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: we've talked about it before. They just when you watch sports, 374 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: you just sometimes go You see it all the time 375 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: with the Kansaity Chiefs because they just have Patrick Mahomes 376 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: and they just don't lose. You go, yeah, this team's 377 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 1: just gonna win, like you seting it right now. I 378 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: think with the Okac Thunder in the NBA, they're gonna win, 379 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 1: right And I think that that's the vibe that I 380 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 1: get from the Edmonton Oilers. So I'm happy that he 381 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 1: touched it. Like I said, the Panthers didn't, So we'll 382 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: see how all that plays out. Getting into the nitty 383 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: gritty of the series a little bit, obviously, this is 384 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: a rematch of last year, and the big storyline was 385 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: that the Florida Panthers win the Stanley Cup in Game seven, 386 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: a two to one victory. They jumped out to a 387 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: three nothing lead before you know, there's the I think 388 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: it was Game seven, but there's the famous clip also 389 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: of Conor McDavid screaming at everybody in the locker room 390 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: to get it together and to take it seriously. Oiler's 391 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: store and back. They win Game four, five, and six 392 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: by a combined score of eighteen to five. And then 393 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: the other big storyline going into this I guess, is 394 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: that it's been more than thirty years since a Canadian 395 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: team has won the Stanley Cup. That was Montreal Canadians 396 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety three. What do you make of I'm 397 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,360 Speaker 1: interested to get your perspective as an American me a Canadian, 398 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: what do you make of this whole? Like Canada hasn't 399 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: won a Stanley Cup. I don't make much take much 400 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: stock into it because I look at all the teams 401 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: that win and go Yet well, half your team's Canadian anyway, 402 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: So does this really matter? But at the same time, 403 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 1: for my fellow Canadians, it would be nice to say Hey, 404 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm happy that the fan base has 405 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: the Cup more so than the Cup just being on 406 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 1: a Canadian team. 407 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of interesting because I sometimes lament that 408 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 2: I was not born in Canada. I mean, I'm so close, 409 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 2: and I just think that one of the things about 410 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 2: it is the egotism of Americans, Like that is a 411 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 2: thing that people have held up forever. So if you're 412 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 2: not a fan of a Canadian team, or if you're 413 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 2: not a fan of an American team, and you're just 414 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 2: listening to this, like you're listening to the stat over 415 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 2: and over and over again. So I'm like, obviously, it's Edmonton, 416 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 2: it's my team. I want them to win. But I'd 417 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 2: also just like to shut that up, like because the 418 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 2: same thing, right, like, Okay, let's go through the rosters, 419 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 2: take off all the Canadians, and then let's see how 420 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 2: you do type of deal. But yeah, yeah, and then 421 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 2: in this one, I'm really hoping like if they do 422 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 2: a map of like who's cheering for who, I would 423 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 2: assume that only one specific part of Florida is going 424 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 2: to cheer for Florida. They won last year. I don't 425 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 2: think they're that likable. They don't have like, you know, 426 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 2: there's not a lot of charisma going on. And then 427 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 2: you look at Edmonton and it's like pick someone, yeah, 428 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 2: and and the whole thirty year in which you know 429 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 2: will get brought up constantly. So so yeah, it's a 430 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 2: it's a thing. 431 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: Edmonton is definitely the more fun team to watch, the 432 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: sexier team to watch. They've got the goal, They've got 433 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: David Ryesida leading the way with those goals. They just 434 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: play a really fun style of hockey. They're playing old 435 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: school style of hockey in that sense. But I'm hoping 436 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 1: from that narrative too, because I've had to hear it 437 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: over and over all. The American wins the cob the 438 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: America's one. Like it's like, again, it's not like you 439 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: got It's not like it's the nineteen forties where the 440 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: Maple Leafs are all players from Toronto and the Boston 441 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: Ruins are all players from Boston. It's completely global, So yes, 442 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: I get it, it's technically in America. But also you know, 443 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: when the Toronto Raptors won the twenty nineteen NBA Championship 444 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,360 Speaker 1: that wasn't really kind of but it's still America's game, 445 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: So that's my own personal little event there. But yeah, 446 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: it would be nice to see and it would be 447 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: nice to end that drought just because we've got six teams, 448 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: so it'd be nice to change that up. As I mentioned, 449 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 1: when you start looking at the matchups, obviously the star 450 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: powers on Edmonton, you've got McDavid, you've got dry Sidle 451 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,959 Speaker 1: leading the way with twenty six and twenty five points. 452 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: But Sam Bennett does lead the way in the NHL 453 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: Playoffs with ten goals, which is three ahead of dry Sidle. 454 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: Do you look at it like Florida is a deeper 455 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: team in the sense of, yeah, they don't have that 456 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: top end talent, but they're back in talent might be 457 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: a little bit better, and then Edmonton is very top 458 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: heavy and not so much or do you think it's 459 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: evenly matched all the way through there? 460 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 3: Yeah? 461 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 2: I mean I last year, I would say, if we've 462 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 2: been doing this show, I would have talked about nothing 463 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 2: but how top heavy Edmonton was, because it just seemed 464 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 2: like if if McDavid and dry Sidle were on the ice, 465 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 2: there was nothing happening. I've never seen two athletes look 466 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 2: more tired than they did in Game seven. I mean, 467 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 2: I was just like, I don't even know how they're 468 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 2: standing up at this point. I think that they're deeper 469 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 2: this year. We've talked about him a lot, the return 470 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 2: of Evander Kaine. Everybody loves to hate him. That's fine, 471 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 2: I would if he wasn't on my team, but he 472 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 2: has been kind of holding down that second third area 473 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 2: and really facilitating some some things. We're gonna miss hymen uh, 474 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 2: mostly because of the hits he was getting this in 475 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 2: in the series. But I but again, Skinner is not 476 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 2: exactly a nice guy. So anyway, you just had to 477 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 2: have the And it's it's third playoff game next, But 478 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 2: Florida has a deep They have a very brusher I 479 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 2: think that, yeah, they can score from all over. That 480 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 2: third line with Marshawn has been killing it, but I 481 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 2: don't think it's at all as top heavy as it 482 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 2: used to be either. 483 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 1: And I think Corey Perry is sort of offset. And 484 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: he's another player I can't stand him because he doesn't 485 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 1: play for Toronto. If he did, you'd love him. He 486 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: seems to kind of have offset the Brad Marshawn addition 487 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: to Florida, which I think was a great addition on 488 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: their side. But he reminds me of the same type 489 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: of player at Grinder. He's going to get in front 490 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: of the net, can kill penalties, and he's going to 491 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: get those dirty goals. I think he's I mean, he's 492 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 1: certainly not going to slide into Zach Hyman's role and 493 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: the pure goal scoring and all that. But I think 494 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: in a seven game series they should be able to 495 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,479 Speaker 1: sort of, you know, cover that up a little bit 496 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: better than you know, if it was through the course 497 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 1: of eighty games.

The main 512 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: question I have for you obviously, which Stuart Skinner is 513 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: going to show up. That's been the talk of every 514 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 1: Oilers game that we've had on every single stream. Pickard 515 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: got hurt, but he is back on the bench backing 516 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: up Stuart Skinner. Is this Skinner series win or lose? 517 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 1: Or could we see a change if he comes out 518 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 1: in game one in game two and gives up six goals. 519 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 2: Right this very second, I wish this was not a 520 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 2: strictly betting podcast because I could talk. I think we 521 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 2: should talk forever about how quickly they about how quickly 522 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 2: they pulled up in last night, and I thought it 523 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 2: was the dumbest thing I've ever seen. But anyway, yeah, 524 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 2: I mean it's I don't think it's skinners. I think 525 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 2: it's Skinners to win or lose. But I also they're 526 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 2: not afraid to make a change, like if if there's 527 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 2: if they're if bad Skinner shows up in game one, 528 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 2: I think that Picard might get a game two. But 529 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 2: the next question I guess I have is like he 530 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 2: hasn't really been Bad Skinner as much at all for 531 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 2: a while. So it's like, I like you tweeted last 532 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 2: night after the three goals, You're like, it doesn't even 533 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 2: matter if Bad Skinner shows up. So yeah, I mean, 534 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 2: so it's kind of I guess I need to give 535 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 2: him a little bit more of a break. He's it. Yeah, 536 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 2: I think they'll ride. They'll ride with him, unless it 537 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 2: turns into a blow out the first game, in which 538 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 2: case they might give him a break. 539 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's it's one of those things that not 540 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: that it's a first impression, but it's kind of a 541 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: first impression where he had those just brutal games against LA. 542 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: He comes out and really since then he's been good. 543 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: Like when you look at the goaltending matchup, obviously Bbrovski's 544 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: been better, sitting in second in goals against IT two 545 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: point one one, But Skinner's been moving up the ranks. 546 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 1: He's at fifth, He's at two point five to three, 547 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: which in the playoffs is pretty good anytime you can 548 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: be around two and a half. Bobrovski's got the nine 549 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 1: to one to four safe percentage, which is good for third. 550 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,160 Speaker 1: Perhaps that's the only fault. It's at nine oh four, 551 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: which is eight. But you know a lot of that's 552 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: going to be affected by those early games where he 553 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 1: was giving up five goals and like ten shots, which 554 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: is really going to destroy your percentage there. So do 555 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: you think that that is good? How much of goaltending 556 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: you think is going to be a factor in this series? 557 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: Less more than the offense? 558 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think the way Florida plays right 559 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 2: and with Bobrowski there doing what he's doing, then yeah, 560 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 2: the goalten the goaltend is going to make a really 561 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 2: huge difference. You don't want to have that, Like, like 562 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 2: I said, I just keep seeing like one giant slip 563 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 2: up from either one of them. But the Oilers got 564 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 2: the Bibrovski last year. I mean Games four, five, and 565 00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 2: six were absurd. So it's it's I don't think it's 566 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 2: as big. I don't think it's as big of a 567 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 2: deal as it would be if this was like Winnipeg 568 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 2: versus Florida, where then it would be like, oh the 569 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 2: goal ton In is all of it. It's just uh yeah, 570 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 2: So I'm going to go with it's not as big 571 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 2: as the offense. And then all of these games are 572 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 2: going to end two to one. 573 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: I think it's a situation, yeah, exactly where I think 574 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: Game one is going to be very interesting for this 575 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: depending on what the score is. Who wins, Like if 576 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: Skinner has the bad game and he gives up six 577 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: because Florida is not really going to be expected to, 578 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: like if they're going to win this series, Florida's got 579 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: to win two to one, three to one, like there 580 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,959 Speaker 1: he can't win six'. FIVE i don't think that's just 581 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: not their style of. Game it's not how they like to. 582 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: Play so If skinner comes out and does give, up 583 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 1: say six, goals And bbrovski has a six as a 584 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 1: has a good, game like let's Say florida wins five 585 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: to one in game, one it would be interesting just 586 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: to see what the confidence level might. Be but as of, now, 587 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 1: YEAH i think that he's going to benefit now from 588 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: the fact that he's not playing The Dallas. Stars he's 589 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: not playing you, know some of these more high powered 590 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: offenses that you might. See so it's going to be. 591 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: Interesting AND i think THAT i agree with you with 592 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 1: The audinger. Pull you can't especially in that instance Where 593 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: audinger played every single game the whole way through you 594 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: get into this game now with your back against so, 595 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 1: on and it's, like, okay well you're. Done and it's, 596 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: LIKE i don't know how you can just sort of 597 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: veer away from that trust so, quickly and to react that, 598 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,479 Speaker 1: QUICKLY i do think was a bad. Move so if 599 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: you had to pin one thing is the all things are? 600 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 1: Equal there's ONE x factor in this. Series is it 601 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: McDavid being the best player in the. World is it the, 602 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: goaltending is it the special? Teams what do you think 603 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: could be the difference maker of this? 604 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:42,919 Speaker 2: SERIES i, mean my initial instinct is McDavid, right, like 605 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 2: you have the best player on the, planet and he 606 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 2: again seems so beyond locked in that it's LIKE i 607 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 2: feel like he just he has another gear and then 608 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 2: and if that gear isn't, enough he'll just get another 609 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 2: one and he'll just keep. Going SO i think he's 610 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 2: the correct answer for. Me it's also Like Newton hopkins 611 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 2: has been playing out of his mind AND i And 612 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,719 Speaker 2: BENNETT i actually on the floor to side like how 613 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 2: much do they keep doing? It because you Know barkhov 614 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 2: And kachuck And reinhart like that those are their top 615 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:19,120 Speaker 2: Three and If bennett And Jet hopkins can keep doing 616 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 2: what they're, doing then that will be a little bit 617 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 2: more of AN x. Factor SO i would say McDavid 618 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 2: than that, line and then the return Of eckholm is 619 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 2: the other. 620 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: Thing, YEAH i have to, agree and THAT i wanted 621 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 1: to try to come up with a deeper, answer but 622 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: coddor McDavid is truly the best player on the planet 623 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: AND i don't think it's particularly close right. Now and 624 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: then when you see the confidence level that he's playing, 625 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: at it just reminds you of all these great players 626 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: who have put the team on their back and, said 627 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: IF i have to play thirty five, MINUTES i, Will 628 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: IF i have to play all the special, TEAMS i. 629 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: Will IF i did have to look outside, THAT i 630 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: do think it would be the. GOALTENDING i think that's 631 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: the only, real the only real weak Spot edmonton, has 632 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: which hasn't been that, week BUT i think if there is, 633 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: one it's. There perhaps in the. COACHING i Think Paul 634 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: maurice is a great. Coach he's gotten his team to 635 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: The Stanley cup finals three straight. Times so maybe just 636 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: when it comes to the x's and, o's when they 637 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: get back To, florida can he come up with a 638 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: game plan when he has the second. Change BUT i 639 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: do think these teams are very really evenly, matched just 640 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: in different. Ways BUT i, AGREE i think this series 641 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: could also be over pretty quickly. TOO i think it 642 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: just kind of. Depends game, ONE i think is really 643 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: going to set the, tone especially with it being In. 644 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: Edmonton so as we get into, it, now let's start 645 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: talking about our best series, bets because both of us 646 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: have some pretty juicy. Ones SO i will let you 647 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: get things. 648 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 2: Started, Okay so keep in mind we won last night 649 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 2: to go to The Stanley. Cup i'm a Massive oilers, 650 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 2: fan so WHEN i was looking at the, bets they 651 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 2: are so confident like and, AGAIN i really haven't ever 652 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 2: cheered for a team that was this confident at. All 653 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 2: SO i am putting sprinkling something on the series to 654 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 2: be a sweep at plus six, Hundred could it go 655 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 2: the other way In florida, Sweep i'm. SURE i mean it's, 656 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 2: yea BUT i THINK i think that it would. BE 657 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 2: i feel like it's more possible THAN i would have 658 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 2: considered a month. Ago the other, thing, though is THAT 659 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 2: i would also kind of sprinkle on five games that's 660 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 2: at plus two. Seventy the same rule applies where maybe 661 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 2: If edmonton gets out to The sea lead and then 662 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 2: they punt a, game like you, Know game three In 663 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 2: florida doesn't go their way and then they finish it 664 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 2: up at. Home So i'm fine on four and five, 665 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 2: Games i'm sure the better bet is to go for. 666 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 2: Ten it's gonna go, seven OR i think it's gonna 667 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 2: go seven because they are evenly. Matched BUT i woke 668 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 2: up this running And i'm, like, nah we're gonna go. 669 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: Sweep AND i think BECAUSE i, THINK i think seven 670 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: games is plus two, hundred and to, me it's, LIKE 671 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: i think the plus six hundred is probably, like is 672 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: it likely to be a? Sweep probably, not BUT i 673 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: think that's probably more likely than a game seven at those, 674 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: odds like at six to, ONE i think it's definitely 675 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: worth putting the money on. That SO i, think, again who? Knows? 676 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: Right LIKE i thought the same thing about the conference 677 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: finals that, oh you, know these teams match up really, 678 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: well and we could see a seven game series Between 679 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: carolina And, florida and it couldn't have been more. Wrong 680 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: they just rolled right over a team that it had 681 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: rolled right over everybody going into, it SO i do. 682 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: THINK i think that BET's really good. Too mine's pretty. 683 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: Simple i'm just gonna take The Edmonton oilers to win 684 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: The Stanley cup at minus won ten for the same 685 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: reason you've. SAID i Just i've pretty much put a 686 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: lot of my eggs in the basket of being The 687 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: Edmonton oilers, now so if The panthers, Win i'm, SORRY 688 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: i JUST i look at that. Confidence and you can 689 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: Say florida's got the same confidence because they're defending champions as, 690 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: well AND i can say that is, True BUT i 691 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: Just edmonton's got the better. Player SO i took The 692 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: Edmonton oilers to win the series minus won. Ten and 693 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: then another one THAT i really like is The oilers 694 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: to Win game one and to win the. Series that's 695 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: plus one sixty. Five SO i think game one being 696 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: In edmonton just the momentum they have right. NOW i 697 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: Know florida is hot as, well but the Way edmonton's 698 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: been playing at, home with how absolutely unbelievably loud that building, 699 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: gets and how much of an advantage it is to 700 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: play In, edmonton give me The oilers to Win game 701 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: one and the series at plus one sixty five and 702 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: then to kind of hedge off that the one THAT 703 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 1: i like as well is For Sam bennett to lead 704 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: this series in. Goals it's plus eighteen, hundred so he is. 705 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: Eight that number is, correct, Right let me just double 706 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: check and make sure that that is. RIGHT i know 707 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: it was a big plus. Money just double checking that 708 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: bear with. Me plus makes for good, too, sorry plus 709 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 1: eleven hundred For Sam bennett to have the most, goals 710 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: and AS i mentioned, earlier he is leading THE nhl 711 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 1: playoffs in goals with ten so. Far and SO i 712 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: just look at it like IF i don't want to 713 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: put all my eggs in The edmonton, basket so If 714 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: i'm going to use The florida, BASKET i Like Sam 715 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: bennett to lead the way there with. GOALS i know 716 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: To chuck's. GOOD i Know Ryan hart's, good but he's 717 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: just Been he's been the steadying force on offense there 718 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: at plus eleven. Hundred SO i know you've got some 719 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: some juicy ones as. 720 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 2: WELL i first of, ALL i do love the win 721 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 2: game one in the. SERIES i think that combo is 722 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 2: is pretty. Great so when you headed in, THERE i 723 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 2: was a little sad BECAUSE i try not to double, 724 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 2: up SO i was looking on DraftKings at the most, 725 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 2: points and McDavid is plus one thirty to have the most, 726 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 2: points so as the rule, GOES i should just make 727 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 2: a shirt that's, like that's, like if McDavid is plus, 728 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 2: money go for, It, LIKE i, mean there's a there's 729 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 2: always a chance on, paper this is what this is 730 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 2: what he thinks. Like he can always turn that. On 731 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,239 Speaker 2: SO i would definitely look into. That and then it 732 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 2: is only plus one, thirty just to, Note but then 733 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,479 Speaker 2: If i'm going to hedge, RIGHT i was looking at, 734 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 2: AGAIN i was looking at The panthers players versus The 735 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 2: oilers in the, playoffs and Kachuk is he's done really 736 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 2: well against them throughout his, career like when he was 737 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 2: In calgary and. Whatnot so the idea that he would 738 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 2: have the most points like On florida's, side seems reasonable to. 739 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 2: Me and at plus one. Thousand, again if when you're 740 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 2: looking at future stuff like, this you just sprinkle on 741 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 2: where you sprinkle on where you want to, go and 742 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 2: then sometimes it just works. 743 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 1: Out so, YEAH i like that one as. Well AND 744 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: i did a quarter unit on The bennett one for 745 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,880 Speaker 1: the plus eleven, hundred AND i just look at it 746 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: like you, know the whole way through the, playoffs whether 747 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 1: it Was ajo or whoever else to lead a lot 748 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: of times because the you, know the coaching and the 749 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 1: defense are going to be so keyed in on these 750 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: players that sometimes who you think is going to lead 751 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 1: the way and, scoring LIKE i don't know how many 752 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: Points NuGen hopkins had in the conference finals a, bunch 753 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,399 Speaker 1: And Evan bouchard has been great as. Well that when 754 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: you start getting into these ten to, one eleven to one, 755 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,359 Speaker 1: ODDS i think it's definitely worth just throwing a little bit, 756 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,839 Speaker 1: there a quarter unit or, something just because you never, 757 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,919 Speaker 1: know and you could also not THAT i ever want 758 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 1: this to, happen but if you get an injury to 759 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: a key player all of a, sudden you, know it 760 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 1: might change things there as, Well so be interesting to 761 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 1: see what happens.
