(00:22):
Dan addition here for you. AndI don't get it. It's kind of
better running bit. When I haveDan Kaiser on that people just run for

He's on the road heading to Vegasand he still makes time for you folks

(00:42):
three here at Sportsmemo dot com.He's got a five star play up for
the Cup. And then we gotto play from the gold Sheet and one
from Kevin Thomas on the Diamonds.So we got an NBA play, we
got an MLB play, then wegot an NHL play. We get it
all covered here on Sports Memo Today. I'm gonna get it all covered in
thirty minutes. Or less. Imight even throw down the gauntlet and say,

(01:04):
we're looking at fifteen minutes or lesstoday because I know my man Dan
Kaiser is itching to get down tothe strip as he's having a great time
and a sunny Los Vegas. Howare we doing, Dan? Always A
good pleasure to see you, man, Man, I'm doing good. I'm
happy to be here. I youknow, made the flight ten minutes before
they were closing closing the doors.A good flight here. And if I

(01:29):
get the Vegas, I find outI'm the only one on here and once
again, and I just don't understandit, because hey, listen, who
would who shouldn't be up against hisface? And it gets get some good
credit, but hey, hey,hey, to each their own. Hey,
I'll take it. I'll take allthe screen time I can get.
Hey, Dan, I look atthat face, and I say, there's

(01:49):
a trustworthy guy who I want tobuy his two dollars Tuesday play That's what
I look at and see, myguys, So hey, let's talk all
and hl here today the playoffs kickingoff, and I couldn't be more excited
about it. I do the productionbehind the scenes for Puck Times, so
I wasn't crazy into hockey before startingmy time here at wager Talk, and
now I'm always placing wagers on it. So let's start with your series long

(02:12):
wager and this is one that thedais on Puck Time. Definitely see an
eye to eye with you. Howare you breaking down the Colorado Avalanche and
the Seattle Cracking series here? Dan? Yeah? Thanks, Yeah, I
love. I love NHL playoffs.I just save to thriving those and if

(02:34):
you know, I don't do Ipick and choose during during the regular season.
I've had a really good record doingthat. I just love the playoffs
in this series. I mean,look, you got the Colorado finding Stanley
Cup chaps, and they're dealing withsome injuries here. You know, Atlantiskog
would not be playing in the playoffsthis year. My car's skated UH in

(02:58):
the last practice, so he's backthere to get some time in this one.
So you know, they're not thesame team they were last last season,
but I still like their chances togo far in the playoffs. I
think it could have come down tothem in Edmonton to see who probably UH
faces Boston for the Cup. Imean, they still have an elite offense.

(03:19):
Uh. They can score not notonly at even strength, but on
the power play. UH. Andwith with this team, they also have
the talent that they can score onthe penalty kill. So they're number you
know, one, one shot orone play away from scoring. My problem
with this team, and it's beenmy problem with this team all season batting

(03:39):
on them, is their goaltending.Uh. You know the end at the
end of the season, the lastgiup of the season, they won four
to three, but and I hadthem on on the puck line, they
were up three one. They giveup a couple of goals, but they
still want the game. I justthink I just think, uh think it
can play between the pipes and theyknow, they know they can score the

(04:03):
goalie th most they can score atwill and does doesn't bear down a lot
uh when they do have the lead. But in saying that, the Kings,
I think the Kings can make thingsinteresting. I mean, they have
the ability to score goals with Colorado, but I just think the Apps have
too much out both ends of theice, offensive the end, defensive,

(04:24):
defensively, and they will prevail inthe series. Here's the I know it's
big money, but you know,Warren Buffett doesn't doesn't lay back on big
purchases. Sometimes you gotta, youknow, sometimes you gotta la lay the
money to make the money. AndI think Colorado is is a shut thinking
this one. And so I'm gonnalay the big money and take Colorado to

(04:45):
win the series. Yeah, andfor what it's worth, the only time
that you're paying juice is on alosing wager. So you know, tie
it up there for a little bit, and hey, maybe they get it
done in four and you get thatROI right back rather quickly, Dan Kaiser,
saying, lay the lumber with theAvalanche as they're taken on the cracking.
That's play number one there for you, a little series long. And

(05:06):
then we also wanted to take alook at the Rangers and the Devils tonight.
Now, this one, Dan,I think is just a story of
inexperienced verse experience. You have theDevils who have all kinds of players,
who are they gonna be gripping thesticks a little bit tight? You have
a strong defense in the Rangers,and plenty of playoff experience. All players

(05:28):
on their roster have seen some timehere in the playoffs. So I don't
know how are you going to bebetting this one? Did the Rangers jump
out to an early leader? Areyou looking more towards the total in game
one? To be honest, I'velooked at the total in this one and
I like kind of a little bithow you broke that down to begin with
it. I wish I would havetalked to you before. I might use
that a little bit until this breakdownplay off, you know, To be

(05:50):
honest, you know, I'm probablygonna go against the grade, be going
against the grade of this one.And I hear a lot of people talking
about high scoring affair between these twoteams. Uh, you know, three
out of the four regular season gameswent over the total. But I'm gonna
ride the same MANTRAI roade last seasonfor most of the playoffs. And that

(06:11):
is in ego I trust. Uh. You know, last last season the
Rangers, uh an igor that playeda lot of you know, low scoring
games. And it is it isstill playoff hockey, this Stanley Cup,
playoff hockey, so you know thosegames tend to be lower scoring. The
defenses do step up, and Ilook at these two teams. The Devils

(06:32):
are allowed just eight goals or theeighth fewest goals in the in the NHL
this season. And as I said, the Rangers they have last year's VENs
and a winner in Egors Thurkin betweenthe pipes, and they allowed the fourth
fewest goals this season. I don'tboth. I know the Rangers can can
score a ton of goals at times, but also at times they don't scoring

(06:56):
and they rely on their goaltending andtheir defense. And I just think,
as you said, you got theinexperience of the Jersey, and I think
they will play this one a littlebit close to the vest, a little
more on the defensive edge. Ijust like this game to go under the
delver. Yeah. And also justbacking that up towards just looking at totals
and system plays. We have somenumbers from our man, Ralph Michael's the

(07:19):
stat daddy over at wager talk dotcom. He just crunched what totals have
done since twenty eighteen, and gameslined at five and a half are nearly
sixty percent towards the under two tenand one fifty since twenty eighteen games lined
at five and a half, Sothe spot kind of backs it up.

(07:40):
And if you're a system player,the system aligns with how you're looking to
Dan. Yeah, I agree.Yeah, and thanks for playing that one.
I didn't actually thanks Torell. Didn'treally know that I had looked at
that. But yeah, but everytime, you know, you look at
this whole season on you know,five and a half, everybody seems to
be batting. They over. There'sa lot, a lot of goal scorers

(08:01):
in the regular season, but it'snot the regular season anymore. And if
you watched any hockey you know inyour lifetime, you know, playoff hockey.
It's a different thing than regular seasonhockey. And and you know the
defenses you step up and you geta goal goaltender that can stand on their
head, and and you know thatIgor can stand on his head and stand
on two heads if he if hehad one. I mean think that guy's

(08:26):
an incredible I just yeah, Idecided, Yeah, I just think this
game is gonna be not as notas exciting for the yet the PlayStation fan,
but it's gonna be exciting for meas a as a vendor, as
an under better. Hey, I'lltell you what, I have just as
much fun sweating out unders as Ihave any high scoring affairs. So I'll
be riding right alongside you. DanKiser, you can check him out at
