00:00Sweden could advance with a regulation win against the United States.

00:04So let's get to the nightcap in Boston.

00:07Trying to continue the fervor and the atmosphere from Saturday night.

00:10The Americans back home in still a favorite Tom against Team Sweden.

00:15Not nearly as drastic of a favorite as we have seen in a variety of spots.

00:21Do you think the numbers are taking in the States into account?

00:25You know, these numbers may shift as after we get the finale of game one.

00:31And this reminds me of the last regular season games of Mets versus Braves.

00:36If you remember that doubleheader we had to end the regular season.

00:39But we will know partially know the outcome in theory of what could happen.

00:42So I'm not expecting Connor Hellyuboff to start for Team USA,

00:45just because he should be starting the final. Wouldn't be surprised to see a split.

00:48Jeremy Swayman is the Bruins goalie to see him start on home ice.

00:51Wouldn't be surprised to get Jake Ottinger in there as well.

00:54So I wouldn't be surprised to see the U.S. drop.

00:57And we see Sweden become a little bit closer, even not Sweden become the favorite.

01:00But that number just moves after we get the conclusion of that first game.

01:05So I like Austin Matthews to score. I do like the over in this game.

01:08A part of me wants to see Austin Matthews score,

01:10just because he plays for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

01:11And to see the TD Garan have to cheer for him would be awesome.

01:14Just as we saw Brad Marchand score at the Bell Center,

01:17a player that is hated by Montreal Canadiens fans.

01:19To see them have to cheer for Brad Marchand was awesome.

01:22So I want to see much of the same with Austin Matthews scoring.

01:25And then I forgot to mention for that first game would be Sidney Crosby over two and a half shots on goal.

01:29This is one of the theories that, you know,

01:31Adam, Dave, and I had on the football shows throughout the season.

01:33Sometimes we're not sure who's going to be seeing the lion's share of the yards when it comes to receiving.

01:37So you can play over Crosby, McKinnon, and McDavid,

01:40and you're really just hoping that two out of the three hit, considering that they are in a must win.

01:43And if at least two of the three hit, you are coming away net positive.

01:46So it's kind of the approach I'm taking.

01:47I'm not sure who it's going to be tonight for today for Canada, but I do like Crosby.
