00:00But if we are looking at the players that really need to step up, the consummate, love to see it.

00:04The best players in the biggest moments, who's going to take that trophy?

00:07Mikko Ranton currently right now at a plus 360 price.

00:10Followed closely now after the shutout last night, Chris, from Sergey Bobrovsky at a plus 370 price.

00:15Then McDavid, Ottinger, Barkov, and Tri-Sider behind him.

00:18Any favorites for you right now that you're seeing here in the consummate?

00:22Well, I do believe it's going to be a Dallas-Florida final.

00:25It's a final that I've wanted to see over the past three years.

00:28I do think we'll see that, you know, Sergey Bobrovsky's number a little bit shorter there.

00:32Certainly intriguing.

00:35You know, he's a guy that could get three or four shutouts the rest of the way.

00:38And that could be a little bit shorter.

00:40How about that number for Sam Bennett at 16 to 1?

00:42I talked about him earlier.

00:44Now tied with Mikko Ranton, nine goals.

00:46Barkov's going to have a shutdown type of role, you know, in the Stanley Cup final.

00:51So he's going to be up against Mikko Ranton, his countryman.

00:53Or if it's the Edmonton Oilers, he's going to have his hands full against Tri-Settle and McDavid.

00:57But also looking at that board, guys, you know, Leon Drysettle's number is very appealing.

01:02As much as I'm sitting here talking about Dallas and giving love to the Florida Panthers, you know, you see McDavid there at plus 550.

01:09But Leon Drysettle has just as many points as McDavid, 19.

01:13He's a goal scorer.

01:15Like, it's not like McDavid isn't.

01:16But this is a guy that scored 50 plus multiple times.

01:19And, you know, he can get six or seven in the series.

01:22And that wouldn't surprise me at all.

01:23So that number, given the fact that they lost last or the last game, has become a little bit longer.

01:28So I don't mind that.

01:30But, yeah, I mean, Sam Bennett certainly, you know, checks the box for me.

01:34But there's no doubt Rantan and Sergei Boroski should be favored to win the award at the moment.

01:39Yeah, it is really interesting to see that 15-1 number on Leon Drysettle.

01:43Edmonton expected to be in this series.

01:46They were a pre-Western Conference Final Series favorite before game number one.

01:51And then, of course, losing that 3-1 lead entering the third period.

01:56Entering this round, Conor McDavid had a slightly shorter price than even Mikko Rantanen, who is having a sensational Stanley Cup postseason.

02:04And give it up for the netminder and playoff Bob, Sergei Boroski.

02:07Now even a shorter price with his team up 2-0 than that of McDavid.
