00:00
I think tonight we mentioned that the path for Toronto is definitely going to be some goals.
00:06
We've seen some chippiness. Maybe we get some penalties.
00:08
I'm just going with the bell cows here from each team to get a power play point.
00:13
Now, Matthews has been horrible, but I think the only way he probably does get on the score,
00:17
he's been so miserable five on five is they somehow get a power play.
00:20
So plus 190 for Matthews with the power play point tonight.
00:23
Sam Reinhart at plus a buck 95 on the Florida side of things.
00:27
We know that he's going to always be in the mix with that.
00:31
As far as our goal scorer for these two games, why go away from what's worked?
00:38
Last Friday we went to this guy. He cashed for us.
00:40
I'm going right back to him in a game six at home tomorrow night trying to eliminate the Winnipeg Jets.
00:46
And it's Miko Rantanen. He's been so big in these spots for Dallas so far in these playoffs.
00:50
We'll go to him again at plus 145 to light the lamp against them.
00:55
Next, our side. I let this go with Dave and I'll just rehash it here.
00:59
I think Toronto loses tonight, but I think that they're going to be in this game all the way to the end.
01:06
Obviously, I want to avoid any kind of empty net situation.
01:10
I think there's some potential for some overtime here tonight,
01:12
but I think that this is going to be a one goal game on either side.
01:17
Minus 138 on the puck line for the Leafs plus a goal and a half.
01:20
They probably lose. They lose excruciating.
01:24
And if they ever win, you got it then there as well with that play.
01:28
So plus one and a half on the puck line for the Leafs.
01:30
As far as the total goes, going to Saturday night's game,
01:34
and I like the under five and a half with Winnipeg and Dallas.
01:38
I think that you will see, just like we saw in the 3-0 game on Thursday night between these two,
01:42
I think that you will see some shutdown play.
01:45
Maybe Rantanen's the hero again. He's going to get that goal.
01:48
But I think both goalies will play well.
01:50
I know Hellebuck's been a complete disaster on the road in these playoffs,
01:54
but under five and a half for the Stars and the Jets on Saturday night.
01:58
As far as the future goes, and it's getting a little tougher for us as we're windowing down the teams,
02:03
but I like to have some exactas.
02:05
I like to have some exact outcomes.
02:08
And there's a couple teams that I really don't have much on.
02:11
And one of them is Carolina.
02:13
I really do believe that Dallas is going to beat Edmonton.
02:15
And I've got to put Dallas and Florida already.
02:18
So let's get Dallas with Carolina.
02:20
Still at 8-1.
02:22
These numbers are just going to get lower and lower by next Friday.
02:24
It's going to be even, you know, the highest is probably going to be in the 4s and 5s.
02:28
So let's get an 8 while we can get it.
02:30
8-1, Dallas to beat Carolina as our exacta for the future for the final five coming up this week.
02:38
So there you go.
02:39
We've got Rantanen goal.
02:40
Toronto on the puck line, Winnipeg and Dallas under 5.5.
02:44
Dallas to beat Carolina future and the power play points with Reinhardt and Matthews for this evening.
02:52
And that's where it all sets up.
02:54
So the Liffords start tonight too.
02:56
8 o'clock east for that game tonight between Maple Leafs and Florida.
03:01
That'll be on TNT because ESPN's got the hoops.
03:04
Minus 225 is where Florida's at right now.
03:08
Plus $1.90 for Toronto.
03:10
The total's at 5.5.
03:11
You heard Dave say he does like the over tonight in that game.
03:15
I guess that if you want to shade to the Leafs a little bit, you probably like the over as well.
03:19
But just the puck line for me.
03:21
And as far as Saturday night goes, Dallas minus 155 for the game six at home.
03:28
Winnipeg plus $1.35.
03:29
And that five and a half total, which I've already mentioned, I do like there.
03:35
If there's a game seven for Toronto and Florida, it would be Sunday night at 7.30.
03:41
If there's a game seven for the Stars and the Jets, it would be Monday night.
03:46
Monday night for them.
03:48
Now if that would happen, then they probably wouldn't start Florida and Carolina or Florida and whoever until Tuesday.
