Speaker 1 (00:02):
And NHL best bets for Friday, January second. It's twenty
twenty six. Guys, Welcome to Puck Time wager Talk TV.
We're gonna talk about all kinds of games here, including
the Winter Classic taking place in a not so cold
place being the Florida Panthers hosting the New York Rangers.
All kinds of more games as well. Look forward to

(00:23):
diving into it. Myself Andrew McGinnis, carmin Bianco, and Lawrence
Presman with us to break these down.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Do not forget about the six and sixty.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Carmine gave you guys a special one on New Year's
z but we of course always have it with the
Friday six and sixty. Looking ahead to Saturday, and Carmine
will be joining me on the pre scout addition for
today recorded talking about every single game on the board
for Saturday as well, So all kinds of good stuff
to look forward to.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Carm Good morning, man, How are you.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
I'm sick? But yeah, I'm sick, and it's not because
the scores last night, although that made me even worse.
We talked about freaky Fridays. That was freaky Thursday, oh
and two days for me in the NHL and two
very good goalies just got lit up in both those plays.

(01:16):
Regulation plays for me. But we'll move on, and I'll
complain about that a little later on because we got
to get the press in and out because he's got
a show to film, he's got to film it early,
and then I'll do my complaining. Many old man yelling
at the clouds right after.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
Pres Happy New Year, everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
There you are, Happy New Year.

Speaker 5 (01:39):
Yeah, I am here. I'm ready to give out a pick.
I too, had a bad day yesterday. I lost my five.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
Percent on Alabama.

Speaker 5 (01:48):
Holy crap, wasn't close at least I got to turn
it off early and move on. But yeah, my apologies
to people who both that play and lost with me.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
Oh man, And that's all it slays me. Anyway.

Speaker 5 (02:04):
We're doing the Rangers in Florida, a Winter Classic in
the middle of the summer.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
You know, it's always.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Summer in Florida. But uh, that stadium and just the setup.
I know it's just from the NHL NHL dot COM's website,
but I just don't like the setup of it. It
just looks weird on a baseball field. Uh, in that
one there, it just does that look normal to you,
Like to me, I don't know if the site lines

(02:36):
for anyone in the stand that's horrible looks good. It
just yeah, that does not look good to to me.
But they brought in a bunch of generators.

Speaker 5 (02:46):
I mean, you would, you would honestly think that the
world was like going through the biggest boom of all time,
you know, between the drone show in China and turning
a baseball stadium into a hockey rink for absolutely no reason.
Why are they just throwing money around like.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Well, they've they've done it.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
How do I get my hands on some of this
wasted crap?

Speaker 1 (03:11):
They did it at Fenway Park, like and look, let's
not say that this would be happening if it wasn't
for them being the back to back defending Stanley Cup champions.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Like I know that.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
I guess I'm biased, maybe just because I'm you know,
not living in a hot place, I guess. But I'm
not a Florida Panthers fan, But I believe the Winter
Classic deserves to have snow falling. We should be seeing
snow on the sides of the boards. We should be
seeing people wearing winter coats and be a little bit
cold I understand the Florida Panthers and the Lightning. Those

(03:43):
guys have done so well, and there's a lot of
Snowbirds that are New York Ranger fans probably that will
be at this game. But it just looks weird to
me that this game is a Winter Classic and it's
gonna be a you know, a nice day outside that
I went to the Winter Classic at Gillette Stadium. I
had to dress up like I was going skiing, like
it was. You know, that to me is what the

(04:03):
Winter Classic is. So Pres, we'll get your breakdown here, brother,
do you I mean the ice looks fine. Do you
treat this game any different because it is an outdoor game?

Speaker 5 (04:12):
Yeah, I don't bet it, but you guys gave it
to me. So I like the under in this game,
and I'll tell you why. Yes, me and my unders.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Look at this.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
David Turcasi writes, Pres Winter Classics are history and tradition. Yeah,
that's just not true, bro, They're like invented like five
years ago. I mean, I don't know where you draw
the line on history and tradition, but the Winter Classic
is not it anyway.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
I like the under in this game.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
Carmen and Andrew And the bottom line here is, firstly,
the Rangers are a stone cold underteam on the year,
fourteen and twenty seven to the under, fourteen and twenty
seven to the under, and it's because, well, they have
good goaltending and they struggle to score. But the Florida
Panthers are twenty two and seventeen to the over here.

(05:05):
And I think that that's interesting moving forward, because this
Florida Panthers team is a team that wants to play
to the under. That's their makeup, that's who they are,
that's how they define themselves. And as we get closer
and closer to the playoffs, and as Florida starts gearing
up for another run, I think this team is going
to lock it down. I think that's the cool term.

(05:28):
Lock it down, lock it up, lock it in something.
I don't know, the kids say lock it lock it something.
So anyway, what that said, Florida is coming off five
overs in a row. They went under in their last
game against Montreal. You know what odds would dictate, you

(05:49):
go five overs in a row, you're gonna have a
regression to the means. They're playing a Rangers team that
wants to play to the under and yeah, I think
the ice is gonna be shitty and slow and slushy
and crap, but it is tradition, So take.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
The under prize. One follow up question for you, and
this isn't like the normal Teddy Theodore Covers follow up,
but in a game like this, like if this was
being played in Florida's regular arena, it's a home game
for them, and it is a home game for them today,
but does it even feel like a home game because

(06:28):
you're gonna have fans from it's pretty much gonna be
split right down the middle. I have to believe there
might actually be more Ranger fans at this game than
Florida fans.

Speaker 4 (06:37):
Ultimately, yeah, do.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
You throw the whole This is basically a neutral site game.
There is no home team in this one, and maybe
Florida shouldn't be the price that they're at right now.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
No, because Florida lives with the La Chargers in almost
never playing home games, especially in December and January. The
bottom line is, do you not see it went down
in the Montreal game that was a Montreal home game
happened to be in Florida. So now this Florida Panthers
team is used to it. Florida doesn't deserve that team,

(07:12):
and that's okay. It is what it is.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
It is what it is.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
I'll say this, I do lean towards the Florida side,
just because I think that we can all agree, guys,
that teams get up for some games more than others.
You play eighty two games, some games mean more, and
I do think there's a lot of gamers on this team.
And to your point with the underpress, you think about
players like Bennett and Marshawn that kind of play that

(07:37):
grimy style of hockey, I think they'll they'll kind of
fit in with this style. You know, if it's crappy
ice out there, it's kind of like they're playing on
a lake. They're all playing shinny. This kind of benefits them.
It'll be physical, it'll be rough, and I think it's
going to be a lot of crappy goals, Like some
of the goals aren't going to be the nicest, and
I think that benefits the Florida Panthers. So just my
two cents, I kind of leaned towards the home team

(07:59):
in this.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
What do you got to promote? I know you got
to get out of here.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
So, uh, Joe Niary and I are running a buy one,
get one free promotion. It literally just came to me
right now. I did ask for the show, and it
has been delivered. H. It's ninety nine dollars and you
get a week of both Joe and Aary and myself.
There is no coupon code required. Literally, just go to

(08:25):
my page or Joe Niary's page, and uh to give
you a perspective. You know, everybody knows how good I
am in NHL. My NBA is unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
Joe Niary is.

Speaker 5 (08:38):
The second most profitable Andy kapper last year. And when
I say last year, that's like two days ago last year,
or like, yeah, two days ago last year. So yeah,
comes with my five percent play, comes with his five
percent play.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
So that is a really really good deal.

Speaker 5 (08:57):
Ninety nine bucks, you get a week of and myself
mil coop on code required.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Thanks for having me boys.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
I'll see you guys on Monday live from Florida. I'll
have a background of a beautiful golf course.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
Can't wait. Lots of love everyone, Let's all make some
money together.

Speaker 6 (09:14):
Audios, press, take care, safe travels man safe travels Andrew
David David talk mentioned last night so many overs seven
and one.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
The first seven games went over the total. The Seattle
game four to one, stays under. The total. Favorites were
like five and three. I was on the wrong end
of two of those underdogs, and I think more of
the home teams won than the visitors, So it was
it was definitely a freaky Friday. There was you had mentioned.

(09:47):
I got to give you credit. You were like, I
think Thursday is a really good night to play. The
Grand Salami man, the Grand Salami probably cashed after about
five games. He probably didn't even need the other games.
I just could not believe how many goals were being
scored in the games, you know what I mean. And
then you know, I had Carolina in regulation, and you know,

(10:10):
they fall behind to Montreal to nothing early, but then
they scored three straight goals in the first period. They
have the lead. All right, They're back to normal. And
Brandon Boushi, who's been absolutely unbeatable at home eight and
oh this season with a one fifty nine goals against average,
he allows six goals and there was some softies. Your

(10:31):
buddy slaugh Slafkowski beat him short side with a goal
just coming in on the left side there, like, how
did that one get in? But he just found the
hole and put it in. Hugged the post man, hug
the post.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
That turnover by Eelers, though, was really bad. It was
like a serving up a pizza right up the middle
of the ice to Josh Anderson and that just can't happen.
There were some strong quotes too that came out of
the room. Jordan Stall said, I don't know how many
times Rod can say the same thing thing in the room.
We're trying to echo the messages because carm if the
Hurricanes aren't a good defensive team, then what are they

(11:07):
Because we know that they've been good this year, but
what they're known for the most is defensive hockey.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
So yeah, that was crazy to say. I gotta say this.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
I hit my play of the day and I thank
people that joined me on Tampa.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
That was a tough one.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
They're down three to two with three and a half
to go in the game and they win the game.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Five to three, which was crazy.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
But then, yeah, carm, you and I both know it's
never good to change your mind on something, and I
did exactly that. I was going to play the over
five and a half in the Dallas game, and I said,
the more I think about it, if one team's doing
the scoring, it's going to be Dallas.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
So I changed my mind.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
From the show, I gave out over three and a
half for Dallas and they lose four to three. That
one was a little bit tough because they over easily
hit and I didn't hit my team total.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
And another one with Jake Oger right, so I had.
The two games I had were both regulation bets because
I don't lay the big and they were like, I think,
minus one fifteen, minus one ten, minus one fifteen and
Jake Oinger just had a miserable game. He just not
many shots for Chicago, but they somehow found the back

(12:21):
of the net in that one. So those things are
gonna happen. It is. I was like, I'm done with
this year? Can we get to twenty twenty seven? But
with that said, Ane'm ducks and the Minnesota Wild andrew
minus one thirty on Minnesota an I'm plus one ten

(12:42):
at home total six here, six and a half. I
originally was looking at this total just because Anaheim's on
a ten and one overrun at home, but it is
mainly the other teams doing a lot of the scoring.
Anaheim's kind of contributed. I just think at six and

(13:02):
a half, I can't take it because Minnesota with their
goaltending dual, can lock it down if they get a
lead in this one. So I'm gonna stay off the total.
I'm kind of leaning Minnesota here. I think Minnesota is
the right play here. You look at them, and they've
been very consistent over their last ten to fifteen or

(13:24):
more games. They've been making a run up the NHL
or up their Western Conference standings. I just think until
I see something better from Anaheim and they start to
turn it around, I just can't play on them. I
can't play on them. So with that said, Minnesota wild
for me.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yeah, I can't look past the last ten games averaging
four point three goals against the Anaheim Ducks. I can't
get past that car because it's like a lot of
teams say, you can't always win games by scoring four
or five goals. It's not going to always be the
recipe for success. And I just look at this Anaheim
Ducks team and I think I remember telling you I

(14:02):
had a guest on my show, on my Friday show
on the pre Scout, and he has a press pass
for the Anaheim Ducks, and he said that people don't
realize how good Lucas Dostell can be, but more importantly,
how important he is to the team.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
KRM.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
He had a little bit of a slide and he's
still a great goalie, but he had a little bit
of a slide. My numbers indicate that where is it here?
Gustavsen posting a nine to forty three say percentage last
three starts against Dostell struggling with below eight twenty say
percentage last several starts. So when he dips, the Anaheim

(14:43):
Ducks dip, their defensive structure is not looking very good.
I think more money will come in on the Wild
in this spot here. We've been talking a lot about
at this point, and I told you I want to
keep things simple, but I do think this sort of
is keeping it simple. The Wild are a better team,
and I think that if we were betting this number
KARM in October, this price is even higher on the

(15:05):
Minnesota Wild. But I think that this is a perfect
example of contender versus pretender?

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Am I exaggerating?

Speaker 3 (15:14):
Here?

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Are you with me?

Speaker 1 (15:15):
On that I think that, No, the Ducks are good, man,
but this is this is a pretender versus contender matchup.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
I think, yeah, listen there there. I think they're point
total at the beginning of the year was mapped out
at eighty four and a half points, and then they
got off to that great start with their new coach
Joel Quinville, and they were winning games. There were scoring goals,
they're going up and down the ice or a fast team.

(15:41):
But it's kind of like that regression to the mean
they were. They were on pace for at one point,
like for one hundred point season. You know that's not
going to happen with them because the Western Conference is
just that good. So you knew that this was going
to happen at some point. Do they turn it around?
They probably do, but to what point, Probably to the
point where they're probably get on pace for an eighty

(16:02):
four point season or somewhere around there. It's just that
I look at Minnesota and you look at their last
twelve games, nine wins, one regulation loss, two OT losses.
The only game in which they've lost in regulation was
to the Colorado Avalanche, who beat a lot of teams
in regulation. Colorado's just they just seem head and shoulders

(16:26):
above other teams. But you look at and we talked
about like maybe a team had a soft schedule. No,
you got the Wild going in and beating teams like Dallas,
beating teams like Washington, the Edmonton Oilers. So they're beating
good teams as well too. They're not going to look
past the Ducks in this one. I can't see them

(16:47):
looking past the Ducks in this one. I think when
you're running good, you don't want to take a step backward.
You keep on winning and you win the games you're
supposed to win. And I think there's this is one
that they're supposed to win.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
You know, yeah, And I just think that karm like there,
they relied too much on their goal scoring this Ducks team, right,
and like you look at the goaltending we're going to
get from the Minnesota Wild, whether it's Gustavson or whether
it was Wolstad, both those players just got named to
the Olympics. They're going to represent their their their country

(17:21):
at the Olympics and they play on the same team
in the NHL. Like Wolstadt has been fantastic, but Gustafson
has been fantastic as well, But look at this the
last three games nine to four to three save percentage,
last three games eight nineteen save percentage, and even on
the year right now, I mean, it's not been as

(17:41):
good for Dostelle as it has been lately, so I
think they rely a little bit too much on them.
So and dive in deeper at some of the stats
as well. For some of the expected goals numbers, Minnesota
has really been pouring it on. They've got a lot
more depth, so I think, yeah, at first, they missed
a couple guys again, and Marco Rossi kind of someone
that they could use. But let's not forget Quinn Hughes

(18:03):
is also an offensive defenseman, so he brings something to
the table as well.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
And here's this one. Here's this one.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
Here the Wild nineteen and one in their last twenty
versus the Anaheim Ducks.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
You gotta love that. You have to love that stat.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
And Jonathan Davis was who I was referencing when I
was talking about Anaheim Ducks press pass because Jonathan Davis
was up there and he was the one that told
me how much do Stella is important to that team.
So I'm happy that Jonathan's in the chat with us
right now, because Jonathan, let me know what you think
about this goalie matchup.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
But right now I'm seeing it clearly favors the wild.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
It's that that is a wild stat Andrew, Yeah, that's
a dad joke.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
No, give me a Brian Leonard. That's a Brian the.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Brian Leonard joke. Where's Brian Leonard when you need him?
He's got to be in the chat. There's he's got
to be up right now. You know. It's funny because
one of my friends, they're usually up late and they're like,
why are you online at like three in the morning
because I'm sick, I don't feel good and stuff, And

(19:14):
they're like, it's you're suffering day one of dry January,
and yeah, I made it through day one. But here's
the thing is I honestly don't. I'm the designated driver.
Like ninety percent of the time, I don't drink right
and at home I very rarely drink because my wife
doesn't other than a shot of tequila here or there.

(19:35):
But it's when I go with them and I drink
like michelob ultras and stuff. But when I'm driving, I
don't have a single drink at all because I'm the
designated driver. So it's going to be easier to do
a dry January for me at the very least Andrew.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
For me, it starts on Monday. On Monday, it's on Monday.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
I'm going to a place tonight that I think I
have to take you to when you come to Halifax,
Restaurante Amano.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
It's gonna be a good one.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
I got a few friends in town, so I'm gonna
channel my inter bianco and have some have some Italian
food tonight.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Let's let's do it, okay, And you're gonna have to
have some seafood because I don't know anybody on the
East Coast doesn't drink it doesn't eat seafood.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
But that's why I go to Italian restaurants.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
That's what we'll cross that. We'll cross that bridge. I'm definitely
not Irish, Jimmy, you got that right, okay. Seattle at
Vancouver the Kraken with a win yesterday there or so
obviously a second of a back to back taking on
the Canucks one fifty nine on Vancouver plus one thirty
one on Seattle, Andrew, I get the whole back to

(20:43):
back stuff. I really do, uh, And I think it's
an important thing to look at it at this point,
like halfway through the season and onwards with this condensed
schedule because of the upcoming Winter Olympics. But nine on
Vancouver seems just a little too high for me. Thoughts

(21:07):
on this one.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
I hope that I hope that I hope that Jonathan
is still in the chat with us, because I believe
it was the Seattle Kraken that this applied for. But
I don't think they're a very good back to back team.
Karm uh here it is here, it is Wow. You
gotta love when perfect timing takes place Seattle one and
eighteen on second half of back to backs over two

(21:34):
plus season, scoring two or fewer in seventeen of the
nineteen games. Shout out to Jonathan here. And you know,
carm I already liked them because the angles that I've
been playing over the past week, and yeah, the dude
their due. The angle I've been playing though, has been
doing very very well, which is again the fading a
team that won the previous game of back to back

(21:57):
or backing them if they didn't. And I think that
this is going to be a team in Seattle. That's
gonna be feeling pretty good about themselves. It's not like
they just won. They won pretty good, Like they looked great.
They got offensive production, they looked good in defense. Everything
looked great for Seattle. And a lot of these situations
and back to backs for them have kind of set

(22:18):
up that way, like, oh man, Seattle looks great tonight.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Nobody tell them that they're playing tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
And don't you find it kind of funnycarm that you know, hey,
money is coming in. But there's something to be said
about the fact that this game, according to odds Logic,
opened up at minus one seventy minus won seventy.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
So something is to be.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
Said about that a little bit here, So I'll tell
you I think that minus a half goal first period,
Vancouver Canucks is the move. But this, to me is
the classic team total. Like, if there's ever a team
total I like on the board today, I think it
has to be Vancouver over three and a half. It does,
and Turbo he hops on and says, hey, look, it

(23:01):
hasn't gotten much better one and four back to back
this season.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Car don't give me the do factor, all right?

Speaker 3 (23:09):
And I don't want anyone to bet on do factors
or zigzags and stuff. You know. I mean like there
are things you do which are sort of personal preference,
ones that have worked in the past, and neither one
of those I'll ever apply to a to a play.
Just like the must win. You tell me the team
is must win, I'm gonna bet against them because these

(23:31):
must wins don't come in. What I do, like is
I've said before is when a team is on a
long win streak or long losing streak, a long losing
streak and you get a win, I usually want to
come back with you because you've gotten that monkey off
of your back and you now play a little looser,
a little freer. You just hate when those l's just
keep accumulating. And it's the same thing with long winning streaks.

(23:55):
When a team has a long winning streak snapped, I
want to play against them the next time out. And
that was a profitable angle last year. So we'll see
where it goes here. You know. The funny thing Andrew
is Grubauer was in goal yesterday last night against against
the Nashville Predators. Has he found like the fountain of
youth or are they just showcasing him? To move him

(24:18):
at the trade deadline to a team that might need
a goalie because he's on in years. But three straight
wins where he's allowed where he's only allowed a goal
per game, that was that's some pretty good in this
save percentage. It's not like he's not facing shots. Like
having a quick look here against the Anaheim Ducks, they

(24:39):
win three to one. He stops for forty of forty
one shots. Then he stops thirty of thirty three, thirty
two of thirty three against the Philadelphia Flyers in a
four to one win, and then last night against Nashville
twenty four of twenty five in a four to one win.
The guy is playing well, or maybe is it the
team in front of him is playing well, And that's

(25:00):
the only thing that ever scares me about. Like some
of these back to boxes, sometimes the team starts playing
so well defensively that they that stat doesn't matter to them.
I'm pretty sure that none of the guys in the
dressing room we're discussing the fact that they're winning eighteen
the last nineteen. We have to discuss it because it's

(25:21):
a betting show, so we have to discuss that.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
I think I think that he's just kind of been
dealing with injuries and had so much to deal with
that he's been good. But what he's been able to
do is give more depth to the krack. And like,
it is a good point that Decord is the guy
now two seven to three goals against on the year.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Not too bad. So what do you think overall? Karme,
We've been starting.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
To see this a lot more on the season where
a lot of times the number one is the guy
that plays number at the second game these days, I remember,
like I think back to back angles used to be
so much better to fade because it was the backup goalie.
But now a lot of times they are having the
number two guy play the first game. Obviously it's circumstantial,

(26:05):
but and you know, you and I we are situational guys.
And for me, like it's not like Seattle scraped by
yesterday with their win. They looked real good in their win.
I mean, we always say it takes two to tango
with a total. They couldn't get over the total because
the other team didn't help them get over the total.
The overs should have gone eight and oh but their
opponent didn't help the total at all.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
No, no, they didn't, and Nashville has been scoring goals
so and looking good. So that just lends to the
fact that see the Kraken did play very well. Guys,
drop a comment in the comment section if you're watching
this video a little later on, or if you're rewatching
this video a little later on to see how we did.

(26:48):
I try to get in there for at least ten
to fifteen minutes a day in reply to any questions
that you guys might have in the posted chat later on.
So if you have any questions about weekend games, just
drop them in that not in the live chat, drop
them in the other chat when this video is posted
after the show, and I'll try and get to them
at some point during the day. And Saturday morning, Andrew

(27:13):
Same Game Parlay pod and six and sixty still to go.
I'm gonna start with the six and sixty and then
give me a break well with your Same Game parlay
before we finish off with the pod and send it home.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
What do you think that sounds good to me? I
gotta just say this.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
I don't know if it was Terry Edelman or a
couple of boys over at the ice guys, or who
it was that started this, but some people in this
hockey bedding community are saying that I have a look
alike with Logan Stanley. I don't know how much I
like that that look alike comparison. And some of the
boys are saying, oh, you.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
Have a side by side. What do you say you
need it? Side by side?

Speaker 1 (27:53):
I don't want it. I don't want it. But a
couple of people are saying, nice haircut, nice haircut. You
gotta get a haircut like Logan Stanley. Logan Stanley does
not have a good haircut. So I don't want to
be compared to that guy. But maybe maybe our faces
looked a little bit similar, But that's like saying karm
looks like Jim Montgomery.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Come on, you can't be doing Yeah, I'm gonna.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
Put that side by side there. That one when I
did the the Happy birth Sorry, the Happy Birthday, the
Happy New Year's cartoon one, I originally put all five
guys the actual pictures from wager Talk profiles, and it
made Andrew look bloated on one side, like he looked

(28:37):
like Jake Paul through a post fight with the bloated
cheekbones or whatever. And then I looked on the other side,
like Jim Montgomery, I'm like, that doesn't even look like me.
So I'm just like, okay, uh, Chad GPT got cartoon
this picture. Let's turn us all into cartoons and be

(28:58):
done with it. I'm perfectly fine with looking like a
cartoon figure. But with that said, Andrew, let's get to
the six and sixty. Guys. I even went to try
and change things up. I even went with better graphics.
So I hope you guys like this one. This is

(29:19):
going to make it easier for you guys to write
this down because we're gonna do a side by side
while I go through the six and sixty. So are
you ready, Andrew? Anyway, we go six and sixty Detroit
at Pittsburgh. I'm taking the Wings money line in this one.
Pittsburgh won on Thursday between these two in ot Wings
flipped the script in this one, Edmonton and Philly taking

(29:42):
Edmonton in regulation. Oilers off a bad loss at home
to the Bruins. Good bounce back spot here against Philadelphia
Sandals and Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay money line. They won
six straight games the two to zero on this road trip.
I'm not getting in front of that train. Saint Louis
and Montreal Montreal money line scheduling spot for Montreal as

(30:02):
Saint Louis plays the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday afternoon,
so we'll take Montreal money line in that one. Islanders
and the Leafs, I'm gonna take Toronto money line. Leaves
are on a good four to zero to one run
and more injuries for the Islanders. Bo Horvath injured on
Thursday night. Washington and Chicago, I'm gonna take under six

(30:23):
in this one. Hawks did surprise in their last game,
but they're only scoring two point two goals per game
on the road their last ten. That is your six
and sixty.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Well done, Well done, Calm.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
You know I like it when you're picking my Montreal Canadians,
so I'm always gonna be happy about that.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
Yep, they hurt me yesterday. They hurt me bad.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
That's why you had to come back to them. You
couldn't stay away.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
So there you go, six and sixty. I'm loving that.
See you know what the one David five and one.
I would take five and one six and sixty day.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
So you know what the kids are calling that these days, though,
carm that's called the AI slop ai slop. Yes, but
it actually looks good. It turned out pretty well.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
It's what they do or whatever. You know what I mean.
It's uh, I'm trying to I'm trying to make it
easier for everyone who's in the live chat to basically
look at the games, write them down real quick, and
if they agree with any of the plays, these are
early looks. If you agree with the play, you play it.
If you don't agree with the play, either bet against

(31:36):
it or you pass.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Yeah, so everyone's showing you love. Everyone's showing love.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Five and one, six and sixty, he says, And he says,
carm I got to give you one loss, got to
give you one.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
That's all right, five and one you'll take.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
I'll take it. Andrew give us the same game partly.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
All right, Karma decided to get one for the Winter
Classic here today.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
So this is simple, simple, sire.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
We've got a Florida Panthers team that actually gives up
quite a few shots on goal to defenseman. Actually, both
teams don't do well against defenseman. So I threw in
Adam Fox to get two plus shots on goal for
the New York Rangers. We've got it to luser Rynan,
who's been up there in the top line for the
Florida Panthers, doing very very well for them. He's plus

(32:23):
one ten, so it's a nice point scorer there, and
we got the Florida Panthers on.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
The money line.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
These three together take us to plus three seventy five. Guys,
shop around, get the best price you possibly can, and
if you want to make it an all Florida parlay,
you can throw in a guy like Seth Jones or
Aaron Eckblad. Everything that I saw said to me that
defencemen are the way to go in this matchups. So

(32:51):
that's what I'll take here. I think that's gonna be
a good one. We've got three picks for three seventy five.
It's not too bad the kid.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Come on, the kid.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
I'm not a negative person. I promise you I'm not
a negative person. I'm just messing around. But I'm more
so just saying I don't know if Logan Stanley is
my guy there. Marco says, uh, yeah, he's six foot seven.
I do wish I was six foot seven. I'd be
kind of that wouldn't be bad. I wish I always
want to be taller, always want to be taller. But
plus three seventy five, guys, Panthers, listen to Ryan, and

(33:20):
I'll tell you what I'm gonna be single betting that
loosten to Rynan prop I do like him because it's interesting.
Karen like, so you've got the top line set for
today is Ryan hart Lindell, And list to Ryanan. You're
getting plus one ten on a top line guy playing
with some top players, getting that power play minutes.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
I like that quite a bit.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
So plus one ten plus three seventy five overall gonna
be pretty good. And reminder, guys, Karen will be joining
me on the pre scout breaking down every game for Saturday.
We'll have some notes and a few tidbits, a couple thoughts.
We'll also look at a few props for the Saturday board.
But it is a bit difficult when we're talking on
Friday to go over props for a Saturday slate. It's

(34:02):
you guys can understand how that can be a little
bit difficult.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
So all right, carm you've got one more bet for
us before we head out. What do you have for us?

Speaker 3 (34:09):
All right? That we need to get back on the
winning side of the pod play. It was a really
good run until it ended yesterday with a plus money play.
But we're going back to one of the games we
discussed earlier, and that's the Minnesota game Minnesota Lane one
thirty as the pod play. They're playing extremely well right now,
only one regulation loss across their last eleven games, and

(34:33):
as I mentioned, that was to the Colorado Avalanche. It
should be Gustofson in goal tonight and he is six
zho to one his last seven starts. That one loss
was an overtime loss to the Nashville Predators. He's only
allowed three goals and that was in that game. Other
games to to shut out, to to and one playing

(34:55):
extremely well in goal, as are both the goalies for Minnesota.
Until see this Anaheim team turn it around. I am
going to try and fade them. Give me the Minnesota
Wild minus one thirty tonight as your pod play.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
I like the Carmen.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
Just remember if the Wild break their street tonight, it's
all your fault.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
So no, possibly it really is. We I have a
guy in our group I'm telling you like we call
him like the Mush because he what he does. He's
got like so many different Jersey he's a Jets fan.
So right off the bat, when you're a New York
Jets fan who becomes a Jets fan who says, I

(35:40):
want to be a Jets fan when I grow up,
I'm not sure. But with that said, he put on
during the playoffs, he put on I think one year
he put on to support some of the other guys
in the chat who are Niners fans. He put on
a Niners jersey. All their quarterbacks got injured, nobody left.

(36:00):
I think krit that was the one where Christian McCaffrey
was playing in the quarterback spot. He puts on a
jersey of a team and that team is going to
lose that maybe we could turn it into like a
mush segment, not having you never.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
Want to be that guy. You never want to be
that guy.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
But there's a reason why when I buy jerseys, I
don't often buy one with the last name on it.
I just buy the jersey. I don't buy the last
name very much. That way, it can never it can
never hurt me. If I just buy the last name
without a last name.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
It's it. I don't have a lot of ones with
with names on him as well too. I have a
Sabers one. And you know who has on the back
Jack Eiicel Y Jack Eichel, Bill's, Bill's Fitzpatrick. Most of
my hockey stuff, the signed ones, anything that I had autographed,
most of them. When some of my friends who have

(36:50):
kids in uh In uh In junior hockey or kids
leagues or what have you, when they have like these
parties to raise money, I should donate the jersey. I
get it framed, I give it to them and they
put it up for like for auction to raise some
money for the for the kids and stuff like that.
So I'm not going to hang them on my wall

(37:12):
like the PRIs. You walk in and he's got this
fantastic room with all the jerseys and stuff on it.
I'm not that much of a fan boy, you know who.
I'm a fan of the team I have money on
that is it. That is who I am a fan of.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
I think small carm because none of the jerseys fit him,
so he can't wear them.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
That's it. By the way, I've gained seven pounds in
the last week, guys, there's a problem. Yes, I went
from two thirty four to two forty one. And maybe
that's why I'm sick. My body's saying, yo, dude, slow
it down. It was a lot of food. I eat
a lot of food.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
It's the beer for me. If I stop the beer,
I'll lose.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
It's like always the holidays with the beer and the
snacks and stuff. Starting Monday, Carm, diet starts Monday, no
drinking start. I can't go into the weekend with it.
With a diet, it starts Monday. That's the famous last words,
say it starts Monday.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
Well, that's how you build the willpower of doing that.
You go into the weekend and say, if I can
get through this weekend, I can get through Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday market. So there you go.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
Hey, last year I did like two months. I did
January and February. So not bad, all.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
Right, Carm.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
A lot of people have been taking advantage of this
for me and you. I gotta get your link on
there as well. But the code is new twenty five.
New twenty five. You can take twenty five percent off
any package that we have that could be a seven day,
thirty day, ninety day. It could be a soccer package,
hockey package, basketball package, football package, whatever it is. Just remember, guys,

(38:48):
if you're buying anything more than a daily package today,
make sure you use the promo code new twenty five,
New twenty five and let's keep rolling, Karm. You know,
for me, it's I believe a seven and two run
in the NHL. We'll try and keep it going. I
have at least two plays going today into the Saturday board.
We got World Junior plays getting tweeted out all the time,

(39:11):
and of course we've got college stuff going on. So
look forward to hopefully a great, great weekend. Guys, do
us a favor. Hit the like button. Let's try and
get over three hundred on this video. It really does
help us out. You guys know, me and Karm aren't
the type people that like to ask for likes and
comments and all this stuff, but it really does support

(39:31):
the channel. So if you guys support our show, it
makes us look good flat out. It'll help us out
here on puck time, and it will tell the guys
at the head office that we're doing a good job
on the show. So appreciate it. If you guys can
do that, Karm, close it out for us, man, what
do you have going?

Speaker 3 (39:48):
Yeah, NHL, you guys pretty much know what I like tonight,
they're probably just going to be client please, which is
obviously the pod play. I'm going to stay off of
that Seattle game. I just don't think it's the right
one to be betting right now. Smalling on the under

(40:09):
in the Florida and Rangers game. We'll see how that
ice is for these Winter classics. I remember Colorado playing
Colorado playing the Vegas Golden Knights, and everyone thought it
was going to be a dead over and it was
like three nothing I think was the final score in
that game. When that ice frosts over and they got
a lot of snow and they got to shovel it
in between in between commercials. You know, it's a problem.

(40:33):
We'll see what happens there tonight. Hopefully it's a good game.
But with that said, no soccer for me today, but
I will have the plays up for this weekend. The
ice was pretty bad and pretty slow. Well, there you go,
there's some breaking news from Andrew. There two plays up
in college football. I just have to create the package.

(40:56):
It'll be up in about two or three minutes. A
winter yesterday with Indiana and we're on a very good run.
So I think we're now twelve four and one with
Bowl and playoff games thus far. So I'm going to
try and keep that run going with a couple Bowl

(41:17):
winners today and then the weekend ones as well too.
So three day all access, use it twenty five percent
off coupon and save some money. I will have a
five percent play up on the weekend. With that said,
for myself, Andy mckinnis the pres this is put time. Guys,
have a fantastic and safe weekend and we will see
you on Monday.
