00:00Vegas had probably a little bit more fight than we thought against Minnesota.

00:05This is basically, now I saw at one place it was a pick'em.

00:08Minus one, ten both ways.

00:10I've seen at other places the Oilers very small favorites now.

00:14This is the third series I've given you where the team that doesn't have home ice is favored in the series.

00:20I know.

00:21I can't believe it.

00:23I don't understand this one especially.

00:26Now, again, I'm in Vegas and have become a fan of the team because I watch all the games.

00:35The kids, this is their team, you know, that they have a team to root for.

00:39And we went to the Stanley Cup parade last year, or two years ago, I mean, and it was fun.

00:45So, I don't know, Mike.

00:48Like, I don't know, was it what Edmonton did as much as what L.A. didn't?

00:54That's what I'm trying to remove my, you know, if I had my listening glasses on or my odds-making glasses.

01:00How much stock am I putting into what I just saw?

01:04Because I thought L.A. was going to win that series in five games after the first two.

01:09I thought they won those first two.

01:11They're splitting.

01:11They had the game three.

01:13They lost it.

01:14And then they lost every game after that.

01:16And was it even like, I mean, they were competitive at times, but it was done.

01:22So, I don't know.

01:24I think I, right now, I think Vegas wins the series.

01:29But, again, Edmonton doubters, we've existed for a number of times.

01:36How many times could you put this game away, right?

01:39I'm with you, and I am an Edmonton doubter, and I know they were a game away last year.

01:46You know, they, I don't care.

01:48I just don't think they're as good as this team.

01:51Like, make it, like, they change the goalie.

01:54Picard goes in, and I all of a sudden believe even.

01:57Like, how does that happen?

01:58I know they did it.

02:00I cannot believe that Calvin Picard is going to get them to the promised land again.

02:04I just don't believe it.

02:06I feel that Vegas is better than them.

02:08I feel that Vegas plays a different kind of game.

02:11Vegas isn't going to blow the leads that the Kings blew, I don't think.

02:16You know, I just, I don't see it.

02:18I think that Vegas is going to get them.

02:20Yes, it's going to be six, seven games.

02:22Yes, it's going to be a long series.

02:25But I think Vegas beats them.

02:28I really do.

02:29I think that Vegas will get them.

02:30Do the games play out like the Kings and Oilers games do?

02:35Like, with some overs at you?

02:37Wild?

02:37Yeah.

02:38I don't know about that.

02:40It's possible.

02:41It's possible.

02:42Yeah, I mean, Vegas has got enough firepower that they can play those games.

02:46I think we'll see a few of them, but not every game.

02:49I think we'll see a few of them get sprinkled in.

02:51Really quick, Dave.

02:52I always do that.

02:53Give me a few.

02:54The final five for me, which I usually do at the end of the show.

02:57Power play points are tough in the playoffs, but Kyle Conner and Robert Thomas,

03:00there's been a lot of power play goals in the St. Louis Winnipeg series.

03:04So, why not take a shot with the best guy on each squad?

03:08Goal score for tonight, actually going to be for tomorrow.

03:10Mikko Rantanen, plus 235 to score against Colorado tomorrow night.

03:14We're going to get him in the barn.

03:16I like Winnipeg tonight, as I told Dave earlier, minus 102 on the money line in St. Louis.

03:21I like the over, going against that trend too tomorrow night.

03:24Over five and a half with Colorado and Dallas in a game seven.

03:28And there's my exacta for the future I'm doing this week.

03:30I don't have a lot of Florida stuff, Dave.

03:33And I know I should probably, I'll also probably do the Florida over Vegas as well in there.

03:40But I need to start getting a couple things with Florida in the portfolio a little bit.

03:45So, Florida-Vegas final at 10-1.

03:48Makes perfect sense.

03:49I mean, as much as we don't want to see Florida again, right?

03:52Get to the finals and lose.

03:54Get to the finals and win.

03:55Now, get to the finals again and maybe win.

03:58You got to have something involved in it.

04:01I like putting it with Vegas.

04:03I think the Vegas-Edmonton winner goes to the cup.
