00:00Beto as you expect a tightly contested low-scoring game the goalie storing in net are going to be a huge reason

00:07Why Jordan Bennington has been a surprise in a good way for the Canadiens?

00:11But of course I would say as you have told us the best goaltender in the National Hockey League and on this planet

00:17Where's the stripes of the United States?

00:19That would be Connor Hellebuck who is the favorite to win the four nations faceoff MVP award?

00:24I'll ask you the question like this if the Americans win tonight in Boston

00:29He's Hellebuck the MVP

00:32almost certainly I would say almost certainly it would be a

00:36It would be a surprise to not see him when considering what he's done as I mentioned a couple days ago

00:41You know Jake Gensel has multiple goals if Jake Gensel has multiple goals and not none of them are empty net goals

00:49That may put him in a spot to win right seeing him

00:51Have you know the extra empty net goal the other night was great and that kind of I don't say stat padding

00:55But if he has multiple goals tonight, especially a game-winning goal

00:58That isn't an empty net goal that could put Jake Gensel in a spot just based on the you know

01:02Overall goals in the tournament

01:03I will also say Nathan McKinnon on the other side considering he is this multi goal threat on an every night basis

01:09He would also be in the mix instead of going to the chalk with me David McKinnon could be the answer for Team Canada

01:15Also, Tommy take a look at Team USA with Austin Matthews here plus 210 prices in any time goal-scoring market

01:21Obviously we know how talented he is, but the sickness that we're hearing who knows if it's an injury at this point

01:26What's your trust level in some of these injured players coming into tonight?

01:30You know, this is this is where I have a tough time trusting any of them

01:33And I said this is the beginning of the tournament. There's a chance that we don't see Matthew score. We don't see

01:37Jack Eichel Jack you score when we see some of these depth players score and that's where Gensel comes in

01:42That's where Dylan Larkin comes in

01:43This is where we may continue to see some good scoring from something like Zach Rowensky the power play quarterback the defender

01:48so I don't have a whole lot of trust in those players actually think looking to some of these secondary as usual as I

01:53Always say tertiary options on any team in any sport

01:55That's where we find the most value and that's where we actually can find players that can still get it done
