00:00You look right now, Dallas is the second choice from the bottom.
00:05They're 12-1 in FanDuel, New York.
00:08They're 12-1 to win the cup right now.
00:10Only St. Louis has longer than them.
00:13And if they win this game tomorrow night, what are they going to be, Dave?
00:18You tell me.
00:19Seven?
00:20Seven?
00:21Six?
00:21Seven?
00:21Eight?
00:22I mean, they're going to be right there.
00:24Yeah.
00:24What if St. Louis upsets Winnipeg and they have home ice against St. Louis
00:28in the next round?
00:30What's their number going to be?
00:31It drops.
00:33It's crazy.
00:34I was looking at that last night, too, because all the numbers are so close to each other.
00:39There's no real clear favorite other than Florida.
00:44Like, it's been kind of decided by oddsmakers that Florida and Carolina are the best teams.
00:52Which is nonsense.
00:54But I'll just say this as I'm going.
00:57I'll end it with this.
00:58This is one of these times that I feel like if you like Dallas to win tomorrow night, I
01:04would almost rather say, why not just hop on the train at 12-1 and take that cup number
01:09and run with that.
01:12And I know that, you know, you're talking about the instant gratification of winning the game
01:15and you get your hit or you want to ride it out a little bit.
01:19But you know I like doing that, Dave.
01:21I like riding it out a little bit.
01:23So I might.
01:23Well, without a cup.
01:24I think it's 12-1 with Dallas.
01:26You could do that.
01:27You could do that to win the West or you could take a couple shots, you know, exact the prices.
01:34There's a bunch of different options for you to do to get big prices on, you know, not so instant gratification.
01:41But the weirdest part is they're the second choice to win the West.
01:46I know.
01:46Think about that.
01:47The win at Colorado and Dallas are 1-2 right now on the West board.
01:52They're 6-1.
01:54Like that.
01:54Now that I've seen that board right there.
01:56I'm looking at FanDuel, New York right now, this second.
02:00Colorado 370, Dallas 6, Winnipeg.
02:03You know, it's wild how they have it all priced out.
02:06Okay, series, round two, we have three matchups that are set.
02:11They'll start Monday with a bunch of these.
02:12I don't have the exact schedule for you, but you've got to figure Washington and Carolina are definitely going to start Monday because they haven't played in a few days now.
02:20Now, everybody loves this Carolina team.
02:23They love this Carolina team.
02:25I'm not one of those everybody's.
02:27I have minus 164 for the series for Carolina, plus 136 for Washington for the series, Dave.
02:35Yeah.
02:35Um, surprising.
02:39It's surprising.
02:40This feels like it should be a lot closer.
02:43I didn't look at the head-to-head for the season series and what they did, but I know Washington had more points.
02:50So, I mean, Washington has home ice, do they not?
02:54Yes, Washington has home ice.
02:57A dog with home ice.
02:59Like that never used to happen when I was in the books making the numbers.
03:04And this is significant.
03:07This isn't like we've got a minus 120.
03:09So, this number tells me that they're splitting.
03:12They're splitting the first two games.
03:14They split the four games in the regular season.
03:16Okay.
03:17They split four games.
03:18And how about this?
03:18Three of the four games were over.
03:21Well over.
03:22Three of the four games they played in the regular season.
03:24Now, we know regular season playoffs, different hockey.
03:27It's much different hockey when you get there.
03:29But just something to think about that when they played this year.
03:33They scored a lot of goals between them.
03:35I think Washington's going to beat them.
03:38I'm on the caps.
03:39I like Washington as well.
03:40Me too.
03:41I like Washington.
03:42I think Washington's their final.
03:45Yeah.
03:46I think they can too.
03:47I think the East now.
03:49I know that Florida is the stronghold here.
03:51I understand that.
03:54But, you know, Washington's got.
03:56And I know this doesn't factor in.
03:58And this is all, you know, hopes and dreams and wishes and all these things.
04:02I really feel that there's some magic carpet ride with this Ovi record.
04:07And maybe his last chance to get one more before he goes.
04:10There's a little something there.
04:12And I think it carries a locker room a little bit when you get this stuff.
04:17And you hear these guys like Wilson and everybody talking about Ovi.
04:20It's almost like, Dave, they're pulling together to try to get them one more.
04:26You know, on this year where he got the right.
04:27And you got to factor that stuff in.
04:30Toronto and Florida.
04:31What do you think about them?
04:32Not right.
04:33Now, Toronto and Florida.
04:35Can you believe this price?
04:37176 for the series.
04:39Toronto plus a buck 46.
04:41Toronto has home ice.
04:43Florida's gone to the final last year.
04:45They won the cup last year.
04:46I get it.
04:47I understand it.
04:48I think they're going to give Florida a real hard time, Dave.
04:54I'm not one of these guys who think Toronto.
04:56And I can't stand the Toronto Maple Leafs.
04:58I don't think they're rolling over in this series.
05:00I do not.
05:02I would hope not.
05:03I think we saw something from Toronto yesterday.
05:06A big character win on the road to close out that series.
05:10I think they split the first two games.
05:14Toronto has to then split the two games in Florida to have a shot in the series.
05:20I mean, if they go and lose both road games and down 3-1, Florida's moving on.
05:25And Florida may be that team again.
05:28Adding Marshawn.
05:30Getting the goaltending from Bobrovsky.
05:32It looks like it's shaping up again.
05:35Kachuk looks healthy.
05:36I don't know.
05:37I don't know.
