00:00Let's kick things off this way, Dave.

00:03Obviously, we have one game six tonight.

00:05Let's get that out of the way, and then we can kind of piece through

00:08some of the other things that happened last night

00:10into those series prices for next week.

00:13So, Winnipeg and St. Louis are going back to St. Louis for a game six tonight.

00:17This has obviously been played home ice really, you know, the whole way here.

00:21Winnipeg wins the first couple at home.

00:23St. Louis wins the next two there.

00:24Winnipeg gets the game five at home.

00:27Critical spot here now.

00:28Does St. Louis keep this trend going with the home teams here,

00:32or does Winnipeg finish this thing off?

00:37It kind of feels to me, Dave, like a little bit like the Vegas-Minnesota series.

00:42I know not necessarily in terms of home ice, road ice,

00:45but in terms of much better team that I think has been pushed a little,

00:51like we expected, maybe more than Minnesota, a little bit further along by St. Louis.

00:54But I think the ride ends tonight,

00:56and I think Winnipeg is going to get them, Dave, here in St. Louis

01:00and get our first road winner of the series.

01:03The line would indicate differently.

01:05You know, St. Louis being favored.

01:07Yes.

01:07Okay.

01:08So, it would require a road team to win a game for the first time in this series

01:12as a plus.

01:14My first lead is St. Louis.

01:17I think we go to seven.

01:18But I think once we get to seven, it's a wrap.

01:22I think Winnipeg, I don't know what would have to happen.

01:27Although, does the injury affect the handicap for you?

01:32You know, him not playing, Shifley not being out, it's a big deal.

01:42He's like, he's one of their three best players.

01:47You know, him, Conor, and Hellebuck are obviously the three keys to them.

01:53I don't know why I'm doing it, Dave, but I'm putting a lot of faith in Hellebuck

02:01tonight when I probably shouldn't, obviously.

02:04By what he's done in the playoffs and even in this series, the two games in St.

02:10Louis, I'm putting a lot of faith in him.

02:13But something inside me is saying that Hellebuck is going to give you the kind

02:18of performance that gets him a finalist for the Hart Trophy like he was

02:22announced as this week.

02:23I think you finally get it tonight.

02:26I think it's a Hellebuck game.

02:27It's a low, it's an under.

02:29It's a hell, and I know I haven't been mad at you.

02:31I think it's an under.

02:32I really do.

02:34So that's where I'm kind of leaning, like a 3-1 jet empty netter type of game

02:37tonight.

02:39Five and a half, under minus 135, pretty much standard across the board in a lot

02:44of books.

02:47No one wants to go to five.

02:48They probably should.

02:50If you're going to watch this game and play it in game, play it under five and a

02:53half, because it's going to move quick to four and a half.

02:57And even if there's no scoring in the first 10 minutes, you might even see a

03:00three and a half flash in that first period.

03:03So, yeah, I think Winnipeg wins.

03:06It goes under.

03:08But I just think St.

03:10Louis gets it done tonight.
