00:00
Next, goal scorer for tonight.
00:02
We'll play one goal scorer each week on NHL Today.
00:04
And this week, it will be Patrick Laine.
00:07
Why?
00:08
Since he's shown up in Montreal, he has been very hot.
00:11
Six goals in his first seven games with them,
00:13
including the hat trick the other night,
00:15
plus 220 for him to score against Detroit.
00:18
That is where we are going to go with our boy Laine.
00:21
Next, aside for tonight, Washington Capitals.
00:24
I told you, this is probably one of the best games
00:25
of the night, Caps and the Canes in D.C.
00:28
I gave you a few numbers earlier.
00:30
I'll give them to you again.
00:31
Beat the Canes at home in November.
00:33
Coming off a poor road trip.
00:34
You know, they lost in Dallas and Chicago.
00:36
Blackhawks think that's a bad loss for the Caps.
00:39
But now they go.
00:40
They've been very good at home.
00:41
And Carolina, they're a mediocre road team.
00:43
Seven, six, and one, I think, Caps tonight.
00:47
And you're getting them at a nice price.
00:48
Plus 122 I've got there.
00:50
I've seen it get as high as plus 130, 135 as well
00:53
here today.
00:54
So we'll take the Capitals at home
00:56
against the Carolina Hurricanes.
00:59
Number four, total for tonight.
01:02
Pretty good, laid it out.
01:04
Toronto and Buffalo.
01:05
Goals, goals, goals.
01:07
Let's fill the net out there
01:09
as they have gone six, two, and two to the over
01:12
their last 10 times together.
01:14
And Buffalo, go look at the scores of some of these games.
01:17
Losing six, five in overtime.
01:19
Losing seven, two.
01:20
Losing five.
01:21
They're giving up tons of goals.
01:24
And Toronto's the type of team
01:27
that will absolutely make you pay in those spots.
01:28
So we'll take the over six and a half
01:30
with the Leafs and the Sabres here this evening.
01:32
And our future for the Final Five this week.
01:36
Dave brought it up.
01:37
You know, he kinda, you know,
01:38
he didn't know I was gonna do this.
01:40
And it kinda got in my way a little bit here,
01:42
but the Minnesota Wild are a team
01:44
that I am going to add to the portfolio this week
01:47
to win the Western Conference.
01:50
Western Conference for Minnesota, nine to one right now.
01:53
They're second in the Central.
01:54
They're third in the West.
01:56
You go and look at the Odds Board.
01:57
They are sixth on the Western Conference
02:00
Odds Board right now.
02:01
And some of these teams that are ahead of them,
02:03
I'm sorry, but they're better than.
02:05
You take a look.
02:06
Now Edmonton, Dallas, Colorado, Winnipeg, and Vegas
02:08
are all ahead of Minnesota.
02:10
Dave just told you about this.
02:11
They have the best player in hockey so far
02:14
this year on their team.
02:14
Kaprizov has been outstanding.
02:17
He's a Hart Trophy favorite.
02:18
I think Gustafson, good goalie.
02:21
They've got that little intangible with the flower
02:23
and the NHL playoffs is one of those things
02:25
where sometimes the intangible does come to the forefront.
02:29
And I like that with his last year,
02:30
maybe trying to get him one more shot at the cup.
02:33
And I know the Minnesota Wild
02:35
have not been great in the playoffs.
02:36
You look at their history over the past 10 to 15 years,
02:40
they are pretty much a one and out.
02:43
But the NHL is a league where teams catch fire.
02:46
Florida, a couple years ago before they made the final
02:49
and lost to Vegas and then won last year.
02:51
They lost every year in the first round.
02:53
Sometimes it just clicks.
02:55
Maybe Minnesota makes some deals.
02:57
Going into the deadline gets even better.
03:00
Could be the year where the Wild,
03:01
I'll get on board at nine to one,
03:03
especially with how well they've played
03:05
and how many teams are ahead of them
03:07
on that board right now.
