Speaker 1: Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to our debut NHL Playoff

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: live stream here on the Fantasy Pros Twitch channel. I

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,360

Speaker 1: NHL expert Kelly Kirby. How are you doing today, Kelly,

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: and how excited are you for the NHL Playoffs?

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: I am doing great. I'm mostly excited for the playoffs

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 2: depending on the health of Leon Dry Sidle and yeah, otherwise,

8
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 2: I'm super excited to be doing this with you.

9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm very excited that Betting Pros gave us this opportunity.

10
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: We're going to be live each and every Tuesday and

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: Friday at three pm through the Stanley Cup Finals right

12
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: here on Twitch. So thank you for joining us today

13
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: and let's jump right into it. What was your biggest

14
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: surprise or disappointment from the NHL season this year?

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 2: Surprise or disappointment was probably the Nashville and Boston and

16
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: just the teams that were so bad that I was

17
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: kind of used to, you know, these were the bets

18
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: I was hitting, and like, I just couldn't count on

19
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: any of them, and then you go to the Capitals.

20
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: I did not see that coming at all. So yeah,

21
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: I know.

22
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: I think Boston's point total over under was ninety four

23
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: and a half preseason, and they sold off everybody. They

24
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: got rid of Brad Marshaan, which I thought was, I

25
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: don't know, an interesting move. Certainly obviously is landing spot

26
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: in Florida is very exciting for that series too, and

27
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: my Toronto maple Leiefs, though I am a Toronto apa

28
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: Leiefs fan, don't hold that against me. But then winning

29
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: the Atlantic Division, I don't think anybody expected that, but

30
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: that was pretty exciting for me. And I know you're

31
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: an oiler, Span, So how did you feel their season went?

32
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 2: Their season was like up and down. I think just again,

33
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: the injuries were, you know, it was like we lost

34
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: McDavid for a little bit and then Dryseidle just kind

35
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: of disappeared, and yet somehow still the league and goals

36
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: and then Eckholm going down is probably the most scary

37
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: thing for us, but otherwise otherwise it was pretty what

38
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: I expected from them, I think.

39
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, and that's the first as we get into

40
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: this will break down each and every series before we

41
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: get into Round one, which tomorrow. Interesting scheduling with the NHL.

42
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: I'm not sure why they decided to do that. But

43
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs start tomorrow, but Tampa and Florida don't play

44
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: until Tuesday. You've got games at eleven o'clock at night. So,

45
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: as we were saying beforehand, they can't do two things

46
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: right at once. So they knocked it out of the

47
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: park with the four Nations, and now you've got scheduling trouble.

48
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: But let's start in the Western Conference, and let's start

49
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: with your Edvanson Oilers. You mentioned injuries possibly a concern.

50
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: The Oilers open as minus won thirty five favorites to

51
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: win the series. Kings are plus one fifteen the spread,

52
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: Oilers minus one and a half are plus one thirty five,

53
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: and you've got the Kings at minus one sixty five

54
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: for to go seven games. So really, what the books

55
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: are saying is they expect it to be another seven

56
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: game series. This is the fourth consecutive time these two

57
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: teams have met in the opening round. Oilers have won

58
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: the last three. They actually just played April fifth and

59
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: fourteenth to end the regular season three nothing and five

60
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: nothing wins for the Kings. But the Kings are zero

61
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: to five in playoff series since winning in twenty fourteen,

62
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: so do you see this series starting and what are

63
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: your initial thoughts on King's oilers.

64
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: Well, I had no idea that our production guy was

65
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: a King's fan, so he might just meet me in

66
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: the middle of this. But yeah, I'm really not thrilled

67
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 2: at all to be putting the Kings in the first

68
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: round again. I feel like their series are just brutal

69
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: and go and they almost I think they always go

70
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: six or seven, and I'm definitely expecting this one to

71
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: go seven. I'm not worried about based on the last

72
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: two games because basically the Edmonton kind of benched everyone

73
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 2: and wasn't risking a whole lot. But yeah, it's it's

74
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: just gonna be a brutal series. They based on the hitting.

75
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: I feel like the Kings just take out the oilers

76
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: and oilers skate around like we don't have to touch anyone.

77
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: But if we have dry side of back and McDavid

78
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: and Zach Hyman and if our goaltenders can pretend they

79
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: know how to ten goal in the playoffs, I feel

80
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: like the oilers will come out. But it makes me nervous.

81
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: I do think goaltending is a concern. You've got Darcy

82
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: Kemper's on the Kings. He has played well, there might

83
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: actually be some vesnta consideration for him. Did win the

84
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: Cup with the Colorado Avalanche in twenty twenty two. What

85
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: are your concerns with Edmonton and net Obviously Stuart Skinner,

86
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: I think they plan to have him be the number

87
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: one goalie, but I think he's had some injuries as well.

88
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: And then you've got Calvin Pickard who's been okay. But

89
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: do you think that that could be an X factor

90
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: despite all the Oilers obviously starts started scoring.

91
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it could be an X factor. The

92
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 2: only I think the most surprising thing about Edmonton for

93
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: me this year was how they limited shots by the

94
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 2: other team. It was like betting the Oiler's goalie under

95
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: was very, very profitable. So I feel like if they

96
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: can kind of make sure that they limit the number

97
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 2: of shots, then maybe Skinner can stand on his head

98
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 2: if he has to. But yes, I would rather have

99
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: Kemper if it all came down to it.

100
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,239
Speaker 1: How scared are you that the Oilers can get knocked

101
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: out in the first round? Do you think the King?

102
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody you know, they've won three in a row.

103
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: It's hard to be the same team four seasons in

104
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: a row in the playoffs. How scared that the scared?

105
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: Are you that the Kings can upset the Oilers? Here?

106
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: I was scared. I'm scared enough that I am gonna

107
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: bet the Oilers. But I thought long and hard about

108
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 2: betting the Kings at plus money. Just this one really

109
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 2: does scare me the most. The Kings are just always

110
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: a pain for us.

111
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it might be a good bet

112
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: if you can bet somewhere. I couldn't find this on DraftKings.

113
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: It's got to be out there. If you can bet

114
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: this series to go seven games. I'm not sure what

115
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: those odds are, but that just seems to be the

116
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: whaler the way the Oilers start in the playoffs, and

117
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: perhaps in the playoffs, but you have the Oilers to

118
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: win this series. That would be my prediction to I

119
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: think they just do do have enough firepower. If they

120
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: can stay healthy, they should be able to overwhelm the

121
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: La Kings. Moving to the next series, this is a

122
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: big one. It has shift a little bit. We're talking

123
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: about the Dallas Stars and the Colorado Avalanche. This opened

124
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: at minus one ten on both sides. We did have

125
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: the injury to Jason Robertson Wednesday Night for the Stars.

126
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: Now it's shifted. Colorado is minus one forty on the

127
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: money line. The Dallas Stars are plus one twenty. There

128
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,559
Speaker 1: is still some uncertainty there. We don't know if Jason

129
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: Robertson is going to play or not, so that's going

130
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: to be interesting. And then you've got the whole Miko

131
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: Ranton in situation. So he was traded from Colorado after

132
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: you halfway through the season, spent two weeks on the

133
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: Carolina Hurricanes, finally landing in Dallas. How do you think

134
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: this series shapes up or starts? Are you concerned with

135
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: Jason Robertson. Do you think that injury is enough to

136
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: have moved this line as much as it did.

137
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think that Robertson is just so

138
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 2: important to them in terms of scoring and his ability

139
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 2: to pass, and it kind of puts a lot more

140
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: pressure on Ranton in a way. But I also can

141
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: see him rising up for this because of how his

142
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: year went, So that's yeah. I think I think Robertson

143
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: being out shouldn't have swung it maybe quite this far.

144
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: I could have gone like maybe minus one thirty, but

145
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: I can see why they did it depending on what

146
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 2: his status.

147
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking too, And I think that,

148
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: like if you it's funny when we'll talk about Cup

149
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: winners at the end, but the Dallas Stars in the

150
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: Colao Colorado Avalanche actually have the best two odds to

151
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: win the Stanley Cup and then here they are in

152
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: a first round matchup, so and it's funny. Third and

153
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: fourth is Tampa and Florida also in a first round matchup.

154
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: So that's a whole other conversation of whether or not

155
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: the NHL playoff format. I still prefer one through eight.

156
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how you feel if you like this

157
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: new create rivalries format, but it's interesting that you play

158
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: this whole season to get to this point and now

159
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: you've got two of the front runners to win the Cup.

160
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: One of them is going to be gone after the

161
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: first round. So and then you've got Miro Hayskin in

162
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: he's been out since January. He might miss the entire

163
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: series and that could be tough too. And then when

164
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: you look at sort of the star matchups, it's going

165
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: to be McKinnon and Ranton, and let's say they sort

166
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: of canle each other out. I think A big difference

167
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: maker might be Cale mccahr, who absolutely torched the Dallas

168
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,239
Speaker 1: Stars this season. He's had three goals, seven points, including

169
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: an overtime winner in this series finale. What do you

170
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: think the defensive side and then going into the goaltending,

171
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: do you think that will play a big role or

172
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: is this more going to be an upfront battle between

173
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: the top lines of each side.

174
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be more of a top

175
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 2: line and I think mccarr is definitely the X factor

176
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 2: and if he plays the way that he has played

177
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: against Dallas, if he plays the way that he can

178
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 2: play period in the playoffs, that would be the difference.

179
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: And like I think we were talking about heiskin and

180
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 2: being out, like the power of the defensive line goes

181
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 2: so swing so far toward the Avalanche that it's I

182
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 2: think it will just be hard for the Stars to

183
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 2: score as much as they would have to.

184
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with that as well, and I think

185
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 1: this is I lean Colorado to win this series. I

186
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: think you're in agreement with me as well there. I

187
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: think Nathan McKinnon and just the Avalanche do you have experience.

188
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: I know Dallas has gone to back to back Conference finals,

189
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: which is great. Obviously, Colorado just won the Cup not

190
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: too long ago and some of the players have changed.

191
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: Landeskog is back from injury. I think that's a big

192
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: addition that they didn't really have a lot throughout the

193
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: regular season. But I just think it's and it's different

194
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: with hockey and basketball. You can talk a lot about

195
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: the best player on the court is probably going to

196
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: win the series for that team, not so much the

197
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: case in hockey, but I do think that that will

198
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: be the case here with Nathan McKinnon and their back

199
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: end with Cale mccarr, I think just having a little

200
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: bit more so, I think we are in agreement there

201
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: that the Colorado Avalanche probably win this series. So that

202
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: would be my pick there. Before we get to the

203
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: next series, just wanted to quickly talk about an offer

00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: and fifty dollars. Moving on, in the West, here's an

212
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: interesting series. You've got the Winnipeg Jets and the Saint

213
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: Louis Blues. Jets are minus one eighty to win this series.

214
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: Blues or plus win fifty five. Heavy underdogs. Jets are

215
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: plus one twenty to win this series in six or

216
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: less games, Blues or minus one forty not to lose

217
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: in six or less games. So this is an interesting

218
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: one because of course you've got the President's Trophy curse.

219
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: The Winnipeg Jets finished this season with the most points

220
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: on the year. Since nineteen eighty six, the team with

221
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: the most points has only won the Stanley Cup eight times.

222
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: Last team to do that was the twenty thirteen Chicago Blackhawks.

223
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: Saint Louis one of the final teams to clinch a

224
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: playoff spot. They haven't made the playoffs in the past

225
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: two seasons, so the Jets, to me, are being really

226
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: disrespected because they have the tenth longest odds to win

227
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup at plus one thousand plus eleven hundred

228
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: depending on your books. What do you think about this series?

229
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: I know the Winnipeg Jets are heavily favored here, but

230
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: do you think it's crazy that they have the tenth

231
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: best odds despite winning the President's Trophy?

232
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: I think, I mean the tenth best for sure, that

233
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: seems a little bit absurd. I feel like the books

234
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 2: are kind of playing it that the Jets started off

235
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: so strong, and like so much of their record came

236
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 2: in those first like sixteen seventeen games, and maybe they

237
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: feel like they've kind of tailed off and so they've

238
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: dropped it. But I mean, I just I don't see

239
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: anything about Winnipeg that would say let's put them tenth

240
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 2: and give them that type of odds, aside from the

241
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 2: President's Curse. And I don't know if hockey is that superstitious,

242
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 2: but yeah.

243
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: Well, and actually I saw stat not too long ago

244
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: that dove into the curse quote unquote and actually on

245
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: a percentage basis. I forget what the entire breakdown was,

246
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: but even though it's only eight times, it's actually based

247
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: on a percentage of teams that win the Stanley Cup.

248
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: It is actually higher than any other seed. So even

249
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: though it's a curse, they do actually win at a

250
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: higher rate. And we'll get into futures a little bit

251
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: later on, but I agree, You've got Connor Hallibuck, who

252
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: led the league in goals against average top candidates to

253
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: win the VESNA Head Coaches up for Coach of the Year.

254
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: So and the other funny thing is Connor Hallibuck is

255
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: third I think right now in odds to win the

256
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: con smythe So you have all these odds that would

257
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: lead you to believe the Jets should at the very

258
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: least win the Stanley Cup or at the very least

259
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: get to the Stanley Cup, but they have the tenth

260
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: best odds there. I don't think. Do you give the

261
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: Blues any chance to win this series or even make

262
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: it cut?

263
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: I don't. I think, you know, there's always a chance

264
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 2: that they could make it close, but that's not the

265
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 2: way that I would bet those at all. I just

266
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 2: don't think they have the firepower to do it. And

267
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: I think that to beat Hellibuck is going to take

268
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 2: way more firepower than what they've got.

269
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: I agree, I think we both be bet this series

270
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: to be minus one and a half for the Jets.

271
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: I guess the only thing you could say is maybe

272
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Binnington, who you know, stood on his head at

273
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: the Four Nations. He's got a good history when the

274
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: Blues won the Cup previously, but people might forget, you know,

275
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: in Canada's first couple games of the Four Nations. Myself

276
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: included we wanted Jordan Binnington out of the net because

277
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: he let in some softies and he obviously was a

278
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: big reason Canada won the championship game. But I just

279
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: don't know if they they can get past the Jets there.

280
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: So I think we're both on the same side of

281
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: the Jets winning that to cover plus one twenty. I

282
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: think for them to win in six or less games,

283
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: it's a great bet. You're getting plus money there, So

284
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 1: that's what I would roll with. Last game in the

285
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: Western Conference, we go to the Minnesota wild and the

286
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: Vegas Golden Knights, another heavy favorite here. With the Knights,

287
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: they're minus two h five on the money line. Minnesota

288
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: wilder plus one seventy. The Knights are essentially even money

289
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: plus one ten to get this done in six or

290
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: less games, Wild are minus one thirty at plus one

291
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: and a half. I this is probably the series I

292
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: have the least excitement for, maybe Carolina Series. Vegas is

293
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: looking to return under the Promised Land. They won the

294
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: Stanley Cup in twenty twenty three. They did lose in

295
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: the first round last year at the hands of the

296
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: Dallas Stars. These two teams met in twenty twenty one

297
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: in Round one, where Vegas won this as well. How

298
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: excited are you for this series? Do you think there's

299
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: really any intriguing matchups here or is this another case

300
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: of Vegas rolling over Minnesota.

301
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I live in Minnesota, and I would say

302
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: on Tuesday when they had to all they had to

303
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 2: do was tire or beat Anaheim. And at the time

304
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 2: I was, I was at a sports bar and they

305
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 2: it was tied at the end. All everyone was losing

306
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: their minds about it, that this shouldn't have been hard,

307
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 2: and they've been All of the fans around here are

308
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 2: kind of like, Okay, well we made it. And that's

309
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 2: like the feeling that that's the wind. Yeah, I feel

310
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 2: like I mean, I feel like Vegas unless Gustafson can

311
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: really shut them down. I have no issue butting ve

312
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 2: Guess at minus one point five.

313
00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm not betting this one just because I

314
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: this is the series one of the series. I think

315
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: that we'll start at eleven o'clock at night too, so

316
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: I'm on the East coast. I won't be watching a

317
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of these games. I do think Gustafson might

318
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: be He's played one playoff series in his career. He

319
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: at a two point three goals against the nine to

320
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: twenty one save percentage, so he might be able to

321
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: pull out a game or two maybe. But then you've

322
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: got Aiden Hill on Vegas, who when they won the

323
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: Cup he was eleven and four two point one goals against.

324
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: I think, you know, take away all the offensive power too.

325
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: I think he's the one that makes the difference. So

326
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: you've got Vegas there to cover the spread. I'm staying

327
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: away from that one. So just to recap on our

328
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: Western Conference, we both like the Edmonton Oilers to win

329
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: the series that is minus one thirty five. We both

330
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: like the Colorado Avalanche to win that series as well.

331
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: We both like the New York Jets, the New York Jets,

332
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: the Winnipeg Jets to cover the spread. And then for

333
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: Vegas and Minnesota. You like Vegas. I like Vegas too.

334
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: I would bet Vegas too, I just don't want to

335
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: pay minus two oh five and I don't want to

336
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: do three spread bets, but that would be my pick

337
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: as well. So now let's move over to the Eastern Conference.

338
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: Let's move over to my favorite team, the Toronto may Beliefs.

339
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: The Battle of Ontario is back. So you've got the

340
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: Toronto may Beliefs. They're minus one seventy. On the flip side,

341
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: you've got the Ottawa Senators plus one forty five. Leafs

342
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: are plus one twenty to cover the spread on the series.

343
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: Ottawa is minus one forty to cover the spread on

344
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: their side as well. How are you excited for this series?

345
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: Is this just an Ontario Canada thing? Do people get

346
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: the same feeling of Oh it's Toronto Ottawa again or

347
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: is that sort of just just just me?

348
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're kind of any unique position here

349
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: where the battle for the Battle of Ontario definitely affects

350
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: you more than it does me. I know that it

351
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: gets ugly and against sort of that same like. I mean, well,

352
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 2: maybe not slow this year, but I feel like they

353
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 2: always just kind of go at each other and it

354
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: can get into a slog pretty fast if they if

355
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: they do it. But yeah, I'm not over excited. I

356
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 2: would really like Toronto to win. Mostly I just don't

357
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 2: like Ottawa. But you know, I don't talk about Toronto

358
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 2: in the playoffs mostly around you ever.

359
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's weird to me to think back

360
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: like the Battle of Ontario. If you don't know, the

361
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: Toronto ma Pelief and the Ottawa Senators played four times

362
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: in five years from two thousand to two thousand and four.

363
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: I can't believe it's been twenty five years. Like if

364
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: you told me that those series happened five or ten

365
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: years ago, I would have believed you. So you know,

366
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: we're talking Matt Sundeen, Alexander mcgilney's the Dane o'chara, Alfredson

367
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: who's now an assistant coach with Ottawa, Travis Green, who's

368
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: the head coach. Sorry, yeah, Alfredson's an assistant coach. Travis

369
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: Green is the head coach. It does mean a lot here,

370
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: but I think it's just that we the Toronto doesn't

371
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: have to play Tampa or Florida for once, so we

372
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: feel like there's probably a better chance to actually advance.

373
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,719
Speaker 1: But taking myself out of it as a fan and

374
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: just looking at this series as a whole, I think

375
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: one of the biggest things for the Leafs is going

376
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: to be Craig Baruba. So Brubay comes in. Sheldon keep

377
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: is gone, he's in New Jersey now. And the biggest

378
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: thing as a fan that watches this team that we've

379
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 1: noticed is in the past, especially in the playoffs, the

380
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: lease would come out flat in the first period. All

381
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: the time they'd get behind, They'd always be playing from behind.

382
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: You don't get that sense this year. You get this

383
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: sense of urgency. You get the sense of they will

384
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: beat the teams they're supposed to beat, and we saw that,

385
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: especially the last month of the season. I thought the

386
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: Toronto Maple Leafs played very, very well. Obviously, you've got

387
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: the top line Matthews, Martyr and Nye. You've got John

388
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: Taveres who had an incredible age thirty four season contract

389
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: year with thirty eight goals. Senators do get Brady could

390
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: Chuck Back, who missed the team's final eleven games. So

391
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: this is another one. I'm going to bet it, but

392
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 1: I'm very hesitant to say, oh, yeah, the Leafs will

393
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: win because that never happens. And if you're a leaf

394
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: fan or you've watched Leafs, you know what's going to

395
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: happen next. So do you see that there's a way

396
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: to even bet this that the Ottawa Senators might come

397
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: out on top of this series.

398
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 2: I don't actually see. I mean, I say no bet

399
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 2: on the overall game. I would definitely tell everyone that,

400
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 2: like this is where I will target player props because

401
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: I love Toronto's top line and tackling them and Neelander

402
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 2: and everyone and everyone else. But I don't think Ottawa

403
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 2: has a chance. But I also just don't know at

404
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,959
Speaker 2: minus one fifty if I want to lay that for Toronto,

405
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 2: and I definitely don't know if they can get it

406
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 2: done in six. So that's more that that not being

407
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: willing to bet that it'll be over in six is

408
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 2: probably more reflective of how I see Toronto.

409
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: That's fair and I am going to bet Toronto to

410
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: win this game in six or less. But again that

411
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: could just be the fan in me in a paper

412
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: they theoretically they should. Anthony Stolers has been great, but

413
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: then of course you know you've got Linus all Mark

414
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 1: in Ottawa who gave Toronto trouble with Boston for all

415
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: those years too. So I am going to put faith

416
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: in the fact this is Austin matthews ninth season, new

417
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: coaching Craig Barube. At some point they either have to

418
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: get over the hump or don't. Mitch Marner is in

419
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: a contract year as well, so I am expecting that

420
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,479
Speaker 1: if they don't do it. Keep in mind we've been

421
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 1: saying this for nine years of Austin Matthews. If they

422
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: don't do it this year, they're going to have to

423
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: tear it down. So I guess we will see. But

424
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: you did mention betting props on this series, and you

425
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: are the prop master for NHL prop bets on betting

426
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: pros as while always betting on player props, particularly plus

427
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: money player props, and you've got a lot of betting

428
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: systems there as well, So I did want to talk

429
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: about the NHL prop bet cheat sheet on betting pros.

430
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: If you're betting props all playoffs long as they get

431
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: in starting tomorrow, use the NHL prop bet cheat sheet.

432
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: It shows you the very best value plays each and

433
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 1: every day. I use it every day, Kelly uses it

434
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: every day. You get daily prop bet value rankings based

435
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: on projections. You can find the best props for shots

436
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,719
Speaker 1: on goal, for points for saves and more. Use it

437
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,479
Speaker 1: now at bettingpros dot com, slash NHL props or on

438
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: the Betting Pros app. Like I said, it's great to

439
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: just get a breakdown who's doing what, just historical matchups,

440
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 1: all that sort of thing. So I know you'll be

441
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: using it and I'll just be blindly following those bets.

442
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:13,959
Speaker 1: So we'll do that shifting pace. This is another one.

443
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: There's the Battle of Ontario and now there's the Battle

444
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: of Florida. It's the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Florida Panthers.

445
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: Panthers currently minus one fifteen on the money line Tampa

446
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: minus one oh five. Are you more excited for this

447
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: series than you are for Toronto Ottawa the Battle of Florida?

448
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 2: You know, I just see that as pick which could

449
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 2: chuck I want to deal with, So I'm not really sure.

450
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: I'm I think I'm probably a little more excited series

451
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 2: wise about this one. But I would way rather watch

452
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 2: the hype be Liefs play than either of these teams.

453
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 2: So so yeah, I'm excited. I think they know each

454
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 2: other way too well. And I don't know if Marcian

455
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 2: is it. Marcian, Yeah, he could be a huge whatever. Yeah,

456
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 2: he could be. He could be a huge X factor

457
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 2: I think in this one, just because I cannot imagine

458
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 2: the like the level of annoyance between Ka, Chuck and

459
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 2: him would be off the charts. But I don't know

460
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 2: if is Matthew going to be back? I think is

461
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 2: it he out?

462
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: I don't remember he is, so I read a report

463
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: today that he's possible for Game one. They don't know,

464
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: They do expect him to play in the series. So

465
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: I do think this series probably takes the cake for

466
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: most annoying players with Marshawn to Chuck and then Corey

467
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: Perry as well. Those are the three players that get

468
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: under the opposition skin I think more than anybody, and

469
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: I think that fans hate more than anybody. I do

470
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 1: also think this is a series that we differ on

471
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: as well. To be honest, I saw that you had

472
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: picked the Lightning, so I just picked the Panthers just

473
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 1: to kind of have a bit of a debate. In

474
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: Round one, it is the matchup between three of the

475
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: last five Stanley Cup champions, fourth time in the last

476
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: five years. These teams will meet first time in the

477
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,479
Speaker 1: first round. Yeah, I think the big thing for me

478
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: is just going to be how healthy Matthew to Chuck

479
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: is we saw in their playoff run last year. He's

480
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 1: that guy. He's got that it factor in terms of

481
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: scoring the big goals, in terms of agitating the other team,

482
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: getting under their skin, making it so it'll take them

483
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: off of their game. I totally agree that this series

484
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: could go seven games. I would again, this is another

485
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: one that if I was betting just the games, I

486
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: would bet this game to go seven, bet the series

487
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: to go seven. Sam Reihart did pick up the slack

488
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: in the absence of Kachuk. You've got Aaron k lad

489
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: That's another big one too. He's gonna miss game one

490
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: in game two of this series because he's just coming

491
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: off the twenty game suspension for PEDS. And then you know,

492
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: of course, on the flip side, you've got Nikita Kuchrov,

493
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,479
Speaker 1: who once again led the league in points with one

494
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: twenty one. Or is this another series where you're looking

495
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: to go heavy on props.

496
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, I'm especially if Kachuck doesn't play in

497
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 2: the first one, then I will. I love to target

498
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 2: Koutrov like in any way I can, But I also

499
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 2: like Ryan Hart too, so like sometimes I'll do one

500
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 2: player prop from each team to get that like plus money,

501
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 2: and that works out well in matchups like this. But

502
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 2: I also agree with the chat that the series could

503
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: definitely I can't see it not going some and actually

504
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 2: it's just like this is how they play.

505
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: It's shaped out to that. Do you find that betting

506
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: player props in the playoffs is different than the regular

507
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: season for the NHL?

508
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 2: Yes, for sure. There's unders become your best friend in

509
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 2: a lot of different ways. So you just the scoring

510
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 2: is going to be lower, and I find that, you know,

511
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: that's when you have to target the bigger the bigger players,

512
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 2: the better players. It's mostly going to come from them

513
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 2: because they're just gonna be on the ice more than

514
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 2: they probably are in the regular.

515
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: Season, that's for sure. And I think I know you

516
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 1: like betting saves props a lot too, and there's could

517
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: be some opportunity there. You've got Sergey Bbrovski against Basilevski.

518
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: I think that's you know, your heavyweight goaltending matchup there.

519
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: For sure. Vibrovski wasn't as good this regular season that

520
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: he has been. He was lights out in the playoffs,

521
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: but I think that might be a big deciding factor too.

522
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: If one goalie. Obviously, if one of them gets hurt,

523
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: that's that's devastating them, is just gets hot, or if

524
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: one of them has an off game. And you have

525
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: to wonder again, going back to to Chuck, you're jumping

526
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: in here after you know, two months, and you're jumping

527
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 1: right into one of the hardest series of the first round.

528
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: How do you all of a sudden jump back into

529
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: that pace, right? It could be hard, and if it

530
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 1: takes in two or three games, it could be too late.

531
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 1: If Tampa's already up by three. I know you took

532
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: Tampa money line here. I took Florida up. I do think,

533
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: not just to play Devil's advocate, but I know going

534
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: into this season Tampa not resigning Steven Stamkos. They didn't

535
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: know is Victor Hedman going to start to age out

536
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: a little bit? That never happened, And Tampa's been really

537
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: good and especially flying up the standings there to finish

538
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: in the second spot in the division, had a chance

539
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: to win the division. But I think Florida is just

540
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: a little bit coming off of the Stanley Cup. And

541
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: you can talk about the Stanley Cup hangover but I

542
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 1: think going into this season maybe there was less expectation

543
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: on Tampa. So for that reason, I'll just take Florida.

544
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: But I mean, you can flip a coin betting this

545
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: really any way you want. But if you want to

546
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: take a series to go seven prop, I think that's

547
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 1: the one there. Yeah, let's shift to the Washington Capitals

548
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: and the Montreal Canadians. The story really of this series

549
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: is just Alex Ovechkin. I think he's been the story

550
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: of the entire NHL season, breaking Wayne Gretzky's goal record.

551
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: Do you think he can can continue this pace going

552
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: into the playoffs? You've got, you know, if they want

553
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: to make a Cup run, you've got another fifteen to

554
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: twenty games to go. Do you think he still got

555
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: it in the tank?

556
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 2: Well, the biggest l I had this year was basically

557
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 2: saying that I didn't think he had anything left in

558
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 2: the tank when it started, And so now I'm just

559
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 2: going to say that Ovi can do Whateverov wants to

560
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 2: do and he'll be great. And I think he's like

561
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 2: one or two years younger than me, so it's just

562
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 2: it's just mind blowing. But he's he's good. I think

563
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 2: they used him very wisely after he broke the record,

564
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 2: they gave him lots of time to kind of chill

565
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 2: out a little bit, so so I think he'll be

566
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 2: fine at least in round one. But yeah, I don't

567
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: know if if if it goes, if he has to

568
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 2: play that many games, I could see it becoming an issue.

569
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: And I was in the same boat as you because

570
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: even just following the betting trend of it, at the

571
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: start of the year, the odds for him to break

572
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: the record were plus six seven hundred, and then even

573
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: at the All Star break, I think they were still

574
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 1: plus two point fifty. It really wasn't until the last

575
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: couple months that he just went on this incredible tear

576
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: as he tends to do, like he'll go ten games

577
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: without a goal, then all of a sudden, he's got

578
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: ten in the next, you know, eight games, I don't think.

579
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 1: And because I went through and did my bracket for

580
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: the NHL Playoffs this year and the first round, I

581
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: felt like I didn't have much problem with but it

582
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: does get interesting pretty quickly. I think that'll be the test.

583
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: I don't think Montrea Montreal was the last team to

584
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: squeak into the playoffs. I know They've got Nick Suzuki,

585
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: he had eighty nine points. They've got caw Field. They

586
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: have a good young team. I just Washington had seven

587
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: players that scored over twenty goals this season. So even

588
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: if Ovechkin's not Alex Ovechkin, there is a lot of

589
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: a lot of backup that he's got there. So I

590
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: will be interested to see if Washington advances, they would

591
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: play who is it that they would play in the

592
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 1: next round? Carolina should the winner of the Carolina New

593
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: Jersey series. I think that's where it gets interesting, where

594
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: it's going to be a little bit more of a

595
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: hard fought battle. But you've actually got a nice plus

596
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: one fifty five on this year's you're bringing the Capitals

597
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: to win this in five or less? Correct?

598
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I don't. I don't see Montreal. I would

599
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 2: be shocked if they took one. I think it'll be

600
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 2: a clean sweep. And like you talked about me and

601
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 2: the plus money issues, but plus one fifty five for

602
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 2: them to clear this out, I'll take that all day.

603
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: And I didn't have a bet on this beforehand because

604
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: the Capitals are minus one or minus three thirty and

605
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: then even the spread of six or less was minus

606
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: one forty five, but when I saw that from you,

607
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to jump on that as well.

608
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: There's usually at least one sweep in the first run

609
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: of the NHL Playoffs, and I think that this one

610
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: is the one, if there's going to be one. I

611
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: would also be curious to see to sprinkle a little

612
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: bit on what that would be too, for Washington to

613
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: win in a sweep, because that's probably if that's plus

614
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: one fifty five, you're looking at probably plus two fifty range.

615
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: I would think for Washington to sweep that series, and

616
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: I think that that's a very very real possibility. As

617
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: I mentioned, the winner of that series will face the

618
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: winner of this series. It's the last series on deck.

619
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: It's the Carolina Hurricanes and the New Jersey Devils. Carolina

620
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: comes into this heavy favorites minus two forty five. You've

621
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: got the Devils on the flip side plus two hundred.

622
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: Carolina is minus one fifteen to cover and the Devils

623
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: are minus one oh five to cover as well. So

624
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: the books think that Carolina is sort of going to

625
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: roll over New Jersey here. This one's interesting to me, obviously.

626
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: Carolina we talked earlier they traded for Miko Ranton and

627
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: he played I think eleven games for them two and

628
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: a half weeks. Then they trade them. They do get

629
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: Taylor Hall out of it, they do get Logan Stankhovin

630
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: out of it, who they have helped them. They've got

631
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: a deep team, and then you look at New Jersey.

632
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: They've only played five hundred hockey since the start of

633
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: the year. Do you think that it's this that Caroline

634
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: is going to kind of roll over New Jersey here too.

635
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna win. I'm not sure if it's

636
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 2: going to be quite the rollover that the minus two

637
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 2: forty five says it's going to be. I feel like

638
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 2: New Jersey's another one of those teams that can get

639
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 2: other teams into like kind of slowed down, slog fight

640
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 2: like type of hockey. So I think I think the

641
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 2: Keynes will win. I think I don't think that's gonna

642
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 2: be hard, but it I think it's going to be

643
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 2: uglier than the minus two forty five suggests.

644
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: I agree with you too. I do think on New

645
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: Jersey side, they are going to struggle with Jack Hughes

646
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: not playing. He had shoulder surgery. He's going to miss

647
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. I think he's missing the

648
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: entire playoffs. He was their leading scorer. And then again

649
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: Leafs fan here Sheldon Keith, who's now the coach of

650
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: the Devils. He never did anything with the Leafs and

651
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: I I saw a couple of weeks ago he was

652
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: the New Jersey was in a must win game when

653
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: they showed one of the intermission speeches, and even just

654
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: watching his speech, it just felt very blah, Like I

655
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: just watching it, It's like, as a player, I'm not

656
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: getting fired up for that speech. It was just kind of,

657
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: you know, come on, guys, we got this, you know,

658
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: just such a cliche type thing. So I do think

659
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: that that's gonna work to their disadvantage. Then on Carolina,

660
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: their best defenseman, Brent Burns. He's forty years old now,

661
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: and this is the first year I think that he

662
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: started to look old. He's still his metrics are still there,

663
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: but he's giving the puck away a lot more and

664
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: he's not scoring at the same clip. But I'm actually

665
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: going to take my favorite bet for this one is

666
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: actually the Devil's plus one and a half. I think

667
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: that the Devils can push this series to seven games

668
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: despite what I just said about Sheldon Keith. I just

669
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,959
Speaker 1: think New Jersey's always a tough place to play, and

670
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: I just never trust I don't trust Rod Brindamore, and

671
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: I don't trust Carolina. Do you think that New Jersey

672
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: can take this to seven or Carolina's going to roll them?

673
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,479
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean I think I saw your bet. I'm

674
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 2: not betting either side of this, just because I'm not

675
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 2: as familiar with these two teams. So this would be

676
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 2: another one that I like player props for better and

677
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 2: mostly because the goaltending is interesting. But yeah, I can

678
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 2: see it going seven. I just but I can see

679
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 2: it going seven, and I can see the Carolina's sweeping them,

680
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 2: So it's like, how do you how do you measure that?

681
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: Yeah? I would agree it was a tough series to call,

682
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: just because and there's I think it's the series with

683
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: probably the least name value. You know, the top line

684
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: of Carolina is good, but they're not necessarily all stars

685
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: or anything of that nature. So that's a series that

686
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: it's probably a bet and forget it, and I'm gonna

687
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: set that bet and I probably are. I'll catch that

688
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: game on the highlights. But that wraps up the Eastern Conference.

689
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: Just to quickly recap, I had the Toronto maple leafs

690
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: to cover on the spread there. Kelly's going to be

691
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: heavy in the props with that one. I'm taking the

692
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: Panthers minus one fifteen. Kelly's got the Lightning on the

693
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: other side, and then the US two and a half

694
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: of the Washington capitals plus one fifty five. I didn't

695
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: have a bet, but I am jumping on that. I

696
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: like that plus one fifty five a lot, and I'm

697
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: going to take probably Washington to sweep that series as

698
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: well and see what that's at. So that's your breakdown

699
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: for each series on either side. Now we can start

700
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: talking about futures, which is do you have a state?

701
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: First of all, do you bet futures? And if you do,

702
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: do you have a strategy that you like to go

703
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: to in terms of like cup winners, Western Conference, Eastern Conference,

704
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: that sort of thing.

705
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 2: I am not. I'm not huge into two futures just

706
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 2: because I think in the initial playoffs kind of anything

707
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 2: can happen, but that you also get better money for that.

708
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 2: So I prefer to do the conference winners, which I

709
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 2: know is kind of odd, but it's like last year,

710
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 2: I would I would have had like Florida and Edmonton.

711
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 2: That was kind of what I was assuming was going

712
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 2: to happen. And but I didn't bet it because you know,

713
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't know, do I really know anything?

714
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, but yeah, yeah, I'm fine putting in a

715
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 2: small wager on Stanley Cup just to like have one,

716
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 2: but it's not my favorite thing.

717
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 1: And do you have a pick for First of all,

718
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: I guess I'll run through the Stanley Cup odds, which

719
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: again I think are just so out of whack. You've

720
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: got the Dallas Stars. This is from DraftKings Stallas Stars

721
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: at plus seven hundred. I actually think that might be

722
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: plus eight hundred now as of today because again the

723
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: Jason Robertson News, but Stars plus seven hundred, You've got

724
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: the Florida Panthers plus eight hundred, the Avalanche at plus

725
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: eight hundred. You've got Tampa nine hundred Oilers plus nine hundred,

726
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: Canes plus nine hundred, and then you've got following them

727
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: the Knights, Capitals and the Jets all over plus all

728
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: over ten to one. It's interesting again the Stars in

729
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: the Avalanche, one of those teams is going to be

730
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: out right off the Bat, Panthers, Enlightening. One of those

731
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 1: teams are going to be out right off the bat.

732
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: I know what my futures BET's going to be for

733
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup. Do you have one?

734
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 2: Yeah? You know. I decided as I broke it down,

735
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 2: I went with the Oilers plus nine hundred if they well,

736
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 2: plus nine hundred just feels about perfect for them, And

737
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 2: again a dice roll on the health. I think when

738
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 2: they're healthy, and like I said, with this shot suppression

739
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 2: that they did this year, they're built a little bit

740
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 2: better for the playoffs than they have been lately because

741
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 2: they're not just trying to outscore everyone like seven to

742
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 2: six every game. So I'm going with them because I'm

743
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 2: a Homer and this is our first show and I

744
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 2: get to do that.

745
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: Of course, I do think to the experience on the Oilers. Finally,

746
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: they spent so many years trying to get over the hump.

747
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: I think getting where they got last year I think

748
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: isn't the ultimate in winning, but I think that experience

749
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: will help them as well. I did pick the Leaves

750
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: to win the Stanley Cup at plus twelve hundred. I

751
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: got it at and that's just because I do it

752
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: every year. Because I'll be damned if I don't bet

753
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: the Leaves to win the Cup any year that they

754
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: actually do. So I'm totally fine with losing that one.

755
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: But I took the Winnipeg Jets. I got it at

756
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 1: plus eleven hundred, And this is a strategy actually learn

757
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: from Matt Parrault, who does a lot of stuff on

758
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: the Betting Pros channel as well. I'm taking that not

759
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 1: so much in thinking that Winnipeg is going to win

760
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup, but it's a way to play off it.

761
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: So in their first round against the Blues, Blues are

762
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: already you know, plus one sixty plus two hundred, So

763
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: I'm just going to take the Blues right there on

764
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: the start. So I kind of will play off that

765
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,439
Speaker 1: that if the Jets, let's say you're betting one unit

766
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: you get all the way to the end, the Jets win,

767
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 1: you eleven units back, they're going to be probably around

768
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: even money all the way through. Like even if they

769
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: get to Vegas in the Conference finals, I don't think

770
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 1: Vegas is going to be something like minus two hundred, right,

771
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: So you can take the other side of the Jets

772
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: all the way through to at least make your money

773
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: back and then if you can get to the end,

774
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: then you've probably got four or five units of profit.

775
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: So that's my bet, not that I think is going

776
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 1: to win, because I agree with you the Stanley Cup

777
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: playoffs or the playoffs that really anything can happen. I

778
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: think in the NBA, the OKAC thunder or plus one

779
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: forty five to win the NBA Championship. Who's ever betting

780
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: before the playoffs start? A plus one forty five like

781
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: that to me just seems crazy. But I will take

782
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 1: the Jets at plus eleven hundred and just sort of

783
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: play off of that all the way through. So I'll

784
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,439
Speaker 1: keep everybody up to date with that too. And again

785
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: as we get into the actual meat of it, take

786
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,479
Speaker 1: the Blues, you know, for a quarter unit to break

787
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 1: even in the first round, and then you're only down

788
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: a quarter unit if Winnipeg moves on. What about the

789
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: con smite, So did you want to talk about it

790
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,399
Speaker 1: bet in the Eastern or Western Conference? Or just should

791
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 1: we just skip to the con Smithe.

792
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean no, I can tell you that what

793
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 2: I've got is the capital is coming out of the

794
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,439
Speaker 2: East because I like their number. And then I put

795
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 2: the Oilers in because I like their number. I just

796
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 2: think that people are under looking they're overlooking a lot

797
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 2: of the other elements that Washington brings to the table.

798
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 2: It was like Ovechkin dominated all the storylines. But they

799
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 2: they're pretty, they're deep than what they've been. So so

800
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 2: that's who I have in the finals, which would be

801
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 2: I'm sure really heavily watched.

802
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: And plus five hundred I see for them to win

803
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference. I think that's a great bet because again,

804
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: right out of the gate, you're eliminating one of the

805
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: Panthers of the Lightning, who are the top two teams

806
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,720
Speaker 1: to win the Eastern Conference, So essentially you can cancel

807
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: one of those out right now. And you're getting the

808
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: Capitals to they had the most points in the East.

809
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: You are getting them at five to one. So I

810
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: think that's another bet. I'm liking your Washington bets here

811
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: that I think I might have to jump on. And

812
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 1: then obviously you mentioned the Oilers in the West. Two

813
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: plus four fifty I see, and that again Stars Avalanche

814
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: knocks them out. What about the President's trophy curse? So

815
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: we did touch on this a little bit earlier. I

816
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 1: don't put as much stock into it because I think

817
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: that they've got Connor Hallibuck and you can rely on

818
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 1: him to stand on his head and to do anything.

819
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: I don't think they flooped their way to them most points,

820
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: and I gain I think at plus twelve hundred because

821
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 1: the books are just going where the money is going,

822
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 1: and no one's betting on Winnipeg because it's a small

823
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: little town in Canada that everyone's just going to look

824
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: at that and go, oh, the Winnipeg Jets. Why would

825
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: I ever bet that? So again, I don't think it's

826
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 1: necessarily that they're going to run all the way through.

827
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: I just think the value of ten eleven twelve to

828
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 1: one is too big to pass up on a team

829
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: like that.

830
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that that's your your strategy, perolt

831
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 2: strategy obviously are It's a really be a really great

832
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 2: way to approach that bet.

833
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: It's worked out. I bet on the Dodgers last year

834
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: to win the World Series, and that's sort of how

835
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 1: I learned that you didn't end up with the whole thing,

836
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: but you ended up with a little bit. So it's

837
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 1: better to win small than lose big in the betting world,

838
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: exactly talking about the con smythe is Conspin's not something

839
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 1: I traditionally bet, just because I'm already trying to predict

840
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: the teams to get there, let alone the players that

841
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: are the MVP that get there. But you've got Nathan

842
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: McKinnon leading the way at plus thirteen hundred, Cotter McDavid

843
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: plus fifteen hundred, Connor hallibook at plus eighteen hundred, the

844
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,839
Speaker 1: un dry Stytle twenty two to one. Then you've got

845
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: Jack Eichel and Kyle mccarr coming up there at the end.

846
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: Do you have a pick on the con smythe or

847
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: is it sort of something you stay away from as well?

848
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 2: Yeah? I stay away from that aside, you know, because

849
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 2: obviously it depends on which team goes where. But McKennon

850
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 2: and McDavid, I would never do dry Cydle because I

851
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 2: think that if the oilers made it that far, I

852
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 2: can't see him beating out McDavid for it. So I

853
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 2: don't like any of them, even though lads are really great.

854
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: I agree with that too, And I think that the

855
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: odds just aren't there, Like there's so many different options

856
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: or opportunities. A lot of time a goalie could win

857
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 1: the con smite that, you know, like you said to

858
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: bet Kyle mccarr plus twenty five hundred, like if that

859
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: was plus five thousand, maybe that's worth something. And he

860
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 1: has a great series. But same to what you said

861
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,399
Speaker 1: with the Oilers. I think if the Avalanche do win

862
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup, I think McKinnon is kind of the

863
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: one that's going to get that there. So that's the

864
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: interesting thing. You have an interesting prop novelty bet involving

865
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: Nathan McKinnon that I think I have to get on

866
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: there as well. I want to tell us about that.

867
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 2: So DraftKings runs these, uh you know, novelty prop bets

868
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 2: that people should never ever bet, like on the Super

869
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 2: Bowl and things like that. But in hockey, I think

870
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 2: it's a little different. And they they haven't put any

871
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 2: up for the Oilers, so I didn't get to go

872
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 2: that direction. But they have Nathan McKennon to record one

873
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,760
Speaker 2: point in every game in Round one at plus one twenty.

874
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 2: So again back to the plus money for me, he

875
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,919
Speaker 2: averages like one point two nine or one point three

876
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 2: points in every each game in the playoffs, and I

877
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 2: just think that he's gonna have to lead the way

878
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 2: for them to take down the Stars and can I

879
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 2: just can't see himkno getting a point. So I'm going

880
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 2: with that for to just double some money.

881
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: I like that be as well, And there's a lot

882
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: of opportunities there. Keep your eye on Draft Kings Fan

883
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 1: Duel six five depending on where you are, they will

884
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: throw up a lot of even timed ones too that

885
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: are you know Austin matthe used to get two goals

886
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: in round one, like certain things that you can get

887
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: that people aren't looking for. So I like that you

888
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: got that one there because I totally agree. I think McKinnon,

889
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: even if the series were to go four games and

890
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: they got swept, like, he's probably getting a point in

891
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: all of those games anyway. So I definitely think that

892
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,439
Speaker 1: that is a great one to jump on as well.

893
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: So as we go ahead, Oh.

894
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say the other one, I'm waiting

895
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 2: for it. Last year I bet McDavid to get ten

896
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 2: points in round one when they played the Kings. I

897
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 2: think he got five in one game. Like, if it's

898
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,839
Speaker 2: ten points total for that series, like you just jump

899
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 2: on it. Especially if it's plus money. That's it's absurd

900
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 2: to me. So and I do.

901
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: Think obviously We're in different countries, so maybe it's a

902
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: little bit different there, but even in Canada, where hockey

903
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: is very popular, I feel like the books don't really

904
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: It's why another reason I love betting the WNBA is

905
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 1: that I don't think the books have really adjusted to

906
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: like the NBA, NFL is very sharp. I feel like

907
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: the numbers can be very soft when it comes to

908
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: NHL betting and giving you layups a little bit of

909
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 1: not understanding how good some of these players are. Not understanding,

910
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 1: like you said earlier, how much these players like Connor

911
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 1: McDavid might play thirty minutes a game where in the

912
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: regular season he's playing, you know, eighteen nineteen twenty. It

913
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: makes a big difference that I don't think is necessarily

914
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: taken into account. There's a lot of opportunities to bet

915
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: the NHL.

916
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 2: Yes, I agree entirely.

917
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: So before we start to wrap it up with our

918
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: best bets, what is your one bold or two bold

919
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: prediction for the NHL playoffs?

920
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 2: What I said earlier where I think Washington's coming out

921
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 2: of the East, and I don't think that anyone's giving

922
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 2: them enough attention or credit because they just think it's

923
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 2: one guy and they're ignoring a whole lot of power.

924
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: It's hard to disagree with that. And Sam similar to

925
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: not to go back to the Winnipeg Jets once again.

926
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: But I think they will break this curse and I

927
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: think that the Winnipeg Jets will come out of the West.

928
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: I think they'll be in the Stanley Cup Finals. When

929
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: you go through the bracket and you look at who

930
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: they've got to beat the road, just let's say it's

931
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,240
Speaker 1: not difficult, but when you've got Connor Hallibuck, Mark Stifley's

932
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: had a great year as well, and I think that

933
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: they're going to be taken lightly every series that they

934
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: go into, and the money is just there as the value.

935
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: So my bold prediction, I'm not going to say the Leafs, Well,

936
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: the Leafs will be the Winnipeg Jets to win the West.

937
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: There So as we wrap it up, we can get

938
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 1: into our best bets, the ones that we're locking in.

939
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: I will let you start, what are your best bets

940
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: for the NHL Playoffs Round one?

941
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know you said you didn't want to bet

942
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 2: three spreads, but I just see three that I really like.

943
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 2: So I'm going Jets minus one and a half nights

944
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 2: minus one and a half and then that Capital's but

945
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 2: of minus two and a half. Those are easily my

946
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 2: favorite for the first round overall. And then I'm going

947
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 2: to throw some money on the Oilers for the Stay

948
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 2: in the Cup.

949
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: I like it and I appreciate again the Capital's bet

950
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: that I'm jumping on as well to make some money

951
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: on that my bets that I'm already locked in. Give

952
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: me the Toronto Maple Leafs to cover at plus one twenty,

953
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,479
Speaker 1: give me the Vegas Nights to cover at plus one ten,

954
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: give me the Colorado Avalanche to win that series on

955
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: the money line. And then I'm going to take the

956
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: Winnipeg Jets to win the Stanley Cup. I got it

957
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 1: at plus eleven hundred. Shop around. There's a lot of

958
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 1: different numbers that are floating out around there, So that

959
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 1: is going to do it. For our debut episode of

974
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,360

Speaker 2: Cali will cut me off, so I don't know.

982
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,160

00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,279
