00:00Five games on the schedule tonight

00:02That we are going to get to including the Penguins in the floor

00:06You got a bunch of teams on back-to-backs tonight

00:09Always something that you have to keep in mind check out what teams do in some of these back-to-back situations

00:15Penguins flat fresh down into sunrise to take on the Panthers

00:18Florida's beaten Pittsburgh for the last five times that they've gotten together and six of the last seven Florida games have gone where

00:26Down under I don't think so tonight to be quite honest with you

00:30I think with the Penguins in town, we might be able to get ourselves some goals

00:33So the Penguins and the Panthers tonight getting together in sunrise montreal is in Chicago those awful Blackhawks

00:41That we were talking about before the Blackhawks. They are

00:46pathetic

00:47Montreal has won four in a row against the Hawks the under between these two is not as hitting nine of the last ten

00:52But that's not where we're going later on when we get to the final five for this game

00:57We are gonna look for some pucks in the net between the Canadians and the Blackhawks and the Blackhawks are so bad right now

01:03I'll give you some numbers later about how many goals they've been given up recently

01:07And that's why we'll be looking for the Habs later on Ottawa into st. Louis against the blue

01:12So Ottawa loses the game in Dallas last night. This is a traditional trip for most of these East Coast teams

01:18They hit Dallas and st. Louis usually in some order back-to-back. They'll be there tonight

01:22Now Otto has actually been decent on the road

01:24Especially against the Western Conference five of their last eight and they smashed the Blues eight to one back in October

01:32So watch for the Senators tonight. I don't think the Blues are that good

01:35Everybody did get to see them go and play that game on New Year's Eve in the winter classic in Wrigley

01:41Anaheim is in Edmonton tonight against the Oilers Edmonton dominates the Ducks Ducks are on a back-to-back

01:47Eight out of ten Edmonton is one against them

01:49They've scored five or more goals in seven of those eight wins against the quack quack quack

01:54You cannot expect you got a big effort from Anaheim last night

01:57I don't think you got a big effort from Anaheim two nights in a row. So we have you look out

02:03No, no, no. No, you're not going to get that and Nashville is in Vancouver

02:09Against the Predators our final game tonight. The Predators did beat them 5-3 there in Vancouver back in November

02:15Vancouver's lost five out of six Nashville's lost three in a row. That means that

02:20Someone's got to win tonight with these two teams that have been absolutely dreadful

02:26between the two of them
