00:00Let's look at some of the divisions now. How about the odds to win the Atlantic division?

00:06Obviously the champs are on top Kim

00:10Listen, Florida, they play a lot of hockey. I don't know if it's gonna catch up with them the Tampa Bay Lightning

00:15They're old

00:16But now what I saw with John Cooper and those guys on the team like Hagel this could boy them to good things plus 40s

00:22Interesting Ottawa good young players. They're not ready Detroit a team on the rise

00:27Boston you're old, Florida, Toronto, Tampa

00:29I'm looking at the board right now the Tampa Bay Lightning and almost five to one look really interesting. Everyone thinks they're done

00:35I don't know Cooper and those guys on that team. They played very very well for Team Canada

00:39Maybe it lifts them to something. I'm on the Leafs, but I'm an idiot. I bet the Leafs

00:47Gensel makes

00:48Tampa viable like he's he's a a big-time

00:53Postseason playoff performer without a doubt and they have all these other guys that have won the Stanley Cup and I think he's you know

01:00You lose a guy or two like they did

01:04Your star player goes to Nashville and then you replace him with Gensel. It was a really strong move

01:09I also I gotta tell you like I'm not one to believe in the

01:16We're tired stuff we played too many games

01:19We won we went to the finals and lost and then we went to the finals and won and now what they're supposed to

01:25Fade away this year because they've been to the finals two years in a row and they're gonna run out of gas

01:31I don't buy that. I think

01:33You know

01:35Athletes are that are winners

01:38That are that win chips and that know how to make it to the finals know how to win a ring

01:44They will play till the bitter end and you'll never hear them crying about being tired

01:49I don't believe for one minute that the Edmonton Oilers are gonna be tired this year in the Stanley Cup playoffs

01:55In fact, I think they're gonna win it all

01:57well, the thing is

01:59Edmonton now with Conor McDavid getting a monkey off his back and scoring the second golden goal with Crosby scoring the first all this is

02:06Gonna do is fire him up and the rest of the team. You got dry sidles sitting there

02:10You got Zach Hyman who's amazing. The question is Scott. What is Edmonton's Achilles heel?

02:15You know what? I know and everybody knows who watches hockey defense and goaltending. Yes, they have good defense offensively

02:22Who's the lockdown guy can Skinner step up and get it done? I don't know

02:26That's the thing about Edmonton and you know playoff hockey if you have a weak tender, it doesn't matter how good you are

02:32That's life. All right, let's look real quickly at these other ones the Metro. Here's the odds for the Metro

02:39Who do you like I like the Carolina Hurricanes at 5 to 1 Washington's been great

02:45Overachieving I look at that price Rangers have been a disappointment the Devils

02:48I expect more from but they'll come up in the second half and try to be better

02:51But Carolina is a very dangerous team and they they've been showed a lack of respect due to the success of Washington

02:57Who's the biggest surprise in the league right now leading for the president's trophy race and now they have random

03:02Let's look at the Central Division

03:05The odds in the Central, who do you like

03:08I'll tell you I don't know how a bunch gonna react after that loss. He's had playoff disappointments

03:13The bottom line is this did you can Jake Ottinger and the Dallas Stars take it up a notch because when I look at those

03:18Teams, I think they have the most talent. You're gonna give me Colorado

03:21Look at those odds for Colorado Scott with the with McKinnon on the team and all the other guys. That's a

03:27Insane price. I still think Dallas has the most talent, but Colorado come on now these guys

03:32I'll tell you that like what do you say? I think that hell about this fine

03:37He's a great goalie and he's been kicking ass all year. I think they're gonna win the division. All right, let's look at the Pacific

03:44Oilers I know they're thinking about the big picture the Kings too far back

03:49They know it's the Oilers or Knights and I think the Oilers will find a way to definitely win the division

03:54It's actually a very good price at 45 cents. All right, let's look at the Eastern odds the East

04:00Who do you like to win these come out of these?

04:03I'd say right now. I'd take the lightning at plus 850

04:06I think the Leafs if they don't stumble at plus 45 50 or a good bet, but what about the West?

04:10Let's look at the West. Who do you like in the West? I like the Oilers

04:13I like the Oilers or stars and they're both shock. So yeah, I'm with you
