00:00
The Rangers have had all kinds of problems.
00:02
They're in Florida tonight against the Panthers.
00:05
Panthers, of course, the favorites here.
00:06
They're minus two bills.
00:08
Rangers plus a buck 60.
00:09
They got smashed in Tampa the other night.
00:11
Totals five and a half.
00:13
Can I interest you in the Rangers and Panthers?
00:16
You can.
00:17
I certainly won't be in the Rangers, right?
00:18
This is a, I mean, you and I, the Island fans, right?
00:20
We're complaining about the Islanders.
00:22
I mean, I think you and I knew
00:23
the Islanders weren't going to stay on the Cup this year.
00:25
Maybe a playoff team.
00:26
People thought the Rangers were a Cup contender there,
00:28
right, right with the Panthers there.
00:31
You know, what a great team you want to point,
00:32
with the Devils, the Hurricanes.
00:34
This team's falling apart.
00:35
All right, they traded players.
00:37
That ain't working.
00:38
All right, they benched players.
00:39
That ain't working.
00:40
Now they're demoting players, right?
00:41
Sabanje was taking up power play.
00:42
Well, we'll see if that works here.
00:44
I mean, it's amazing.
00:45
This team had a really good year last year.
00:48
And love you, let Mike get fired any day now.
00:50
Because this team looks like they've given up on him, Mike.
00:52
It looks like they've, I don't know why.
00:53
He's a really good head coach.
00:54
Actually, I don't know the coach.
00:56
But it looks like, I think they're going to fire him
00:57
any day now.
00:59
They're not going to have a choice.
01:00
I think they know it's not his fault,
01:01
but they just don't have a choice.
01:02
No, give me the Panthers tonight.
01:03
No way I'm betting on the Rangers.
01:06
They don't have a choice.
01:07
And yes, if you did open the paper,
01:09
if you still get it, George,
01:11
the Islanders aren't in last in the Metro.
01:13
They're not in last.
01:14
The Rangers are.
01:16
If you opened up your paper this morning,
01:17
if you still like to do those things.
01:19
Nashville, it's George, like,
01:22
it's very rare you can take a shot at the Rangers, George.
01:24
This is an Islander fan,
01:25
but you can do one right there.
01:27
The Nashville Predators are in Winnipeg tonight
01:29
against the Jets.
01:30
Jets minus a buck 28, plus 106 for Nashville, five and a half.
01:34
Nashville's another team, George.
01:36
Big expectations, signed a bunch of guys.
01:39
It's been brutal.
01:40
They just this week got past the Blackhawks
01:43
out of the cellar in the Central.
01:45
That's how bad it's been for Nashville this year.
01:49
I guess, I mean,
01:50
we say the Rangers are disappointing in the East.
01:52
I mean, the Predators are probably
01:53
your biggest disappointment in the West
01:54
for the reasons you mentioned.
01:56
They made all those additions,
01:57
and I gotta tell you, Mike,
01:58
I thought they were good additions, all right?
02:00
I thought, hey, yeah, Stan Coach, Marquesa,
02:02
that's good, right?
02:03
You're gonna be a good team.
02:04
You already were good here.
02:05
Hasn't worked.
02:06
They haven't meshed right away.
02:07
Barry Trotzoff, former Islander head coach,
02:09
Cavs head coach, now the GM.
02:10
I thought he made good moves.
02:11
They got a whole host of number one picks
02:13
still coming up as well here.
02:15
He has to be a little bit taken aback here.
02:16
He keeps saying they're not going to mail in the season here
02:19
or trade stuff away or, you know, prepare for next year.
02:21
Sooner or later, you have no choice.
02:23
I'm on the Jets tonight.
02:24
The Jets are the Cowboys of the NHL, by the way.
02:26
Generally great regular seasons,
02:28
fall apart in the first round of the playoffs.
02:30
So I'll take them during the regular season.
02:31
I'll be on the under tonight as well.
02:33
The Predators' problem has been,
02:35
generally they get pretty decent goal-tending.
02:36
Soros is a really good goal-tender, good day,
02:38
but they don't score goals here.
02:39
So give me the under and give me the win to pay Jets.
02:41
And by the way, Mike,
02:42
I actually do still read the paper,
02:44
but I read it online at the gym,
02:46
not through an actual physical newspaper.
02:49
That's okay.
02:50
And Utah's in Seattle tonight.
02:52
Did you know Utah's actually won six in a row
02:55
on the road?
02:55
They suck at home,
02:56
but they've been pretty good on the road
02:58
and they're favorites tonight in Seattle
02:59
against the Kraken.
03:01
Yeah, I'm gonna take the over in the game.
03:04
I don't have to feel great about taking the over.
03:05
I did build a stack here
03:06
and I sort of leaned to a minus 154 on the road.
03:08
I still don't like it.
03:10
Kraken have been a little bit,
03:11
I guess, underwhelming as well this season.
03:13
I mean, I leaned to Utah winning the game.
03:14
I'll just not willingly go minus 154,
03:16
but give me the over.
03:17
I think I'm gonna get some goals tonight.
