00:00We have this game number two in Dallas.

00:02You kind of mentioned you like the under.

00:04Is there anything else?

00:06What are your plays here for tonight?

00:07We've got minus 114 for Dallas right now, minus 105 for Edmonton.

00:12And the interesting thing for me, Tom, is when you talk about this total,

00:16five and a half in game one, now we see it bumped up to six and a half

00:20here in game number two.

00:22And for me, that's where, you know, the lights went off a little bit.

00:25That's more for me looking to the under.

00:27Yeah, I'm going to be on the under.

00:29I haven't made a play in the money line.

00:31As we were shopping around a little bit this morning,

00:33I don't mind Evan Bouchard for three-plus shots.

00:36And this is just the simple, hey, listen, the shots aren't going to be pretty.

00:39You just got to get something to net.

00:41We got to start generating some offense.

00:42And when you have the lead, you have to press that.

00:44A lot of it may come down to, hey, don't take pounties.

00:46You actually have the puck in the offensive zone and be able to generate

00:49some of that offense if you're not playing defense the whole time,

00:525v4, because you're taking all these pounties.

00:54So clean things up in terms of pounties.

00:56And listen, Bouchard's a good defender.

00:57I really do think so.

00:58Just get anything to the net and start generating some pressure

01:00against the Stars.

01:02Yeah, that's what it – you know, and I'm looking a little bit tonight.

01:08McDavid hasn't done much, to be fair.

01:11Right, Tom?

01:11I mean, you think about how Edmonton has gotten to this point.

01:16It doesn't feel like last year where McDavid had so much offense and so many points.

01:23Has that – don't you feel he's been kind of quiet during this entire run for Edmonton?

01:28Do you think he's maybe playing with something?

01:31I mean, you still see the burst out there from him.

01:33Right.

01:33But the points just haven't been there.

01:36It doesn't.

01:37And I want to say the Myro Heiskanen coming back is obviously a huge boost for the Stars.

01:42And I would like to think that, you know, Peter DeBoer, the head coach of the Stars,

01:46and their defense that they have – hopefully they've looked back to a couple years ago

01:50when Caleb McCarr shut down Conor McDavid in that Western Conference Finals,

01:54and they took something from that.

01:55But listen, this is exactly what we have to play them.

01:57And it's also – I mean, David has set such a high standard, especially last year,

02:01how he played when he won the Conn Smythe, that he looks good.

02:04He may not look as elite as he did last year, and that's almost credit to the Stars.

02:08Yeah, he could be playing with something, but he has to have multiple points to me

02:12to put the Oilers in a spot to win on a nightly basis.

02:16Another reason why Bobrovsky's going to win if Florida wins.

02:19They didn't give it to him last year because they gave it to McDavid for getting him to the seventh game.

02:24Bobrovsky's kind of owed one, too, because they do do that, Tom.

02:28These writers that vote for that Conn Smythe, they're, well, you know, we let Bobrovsky down last year.

02:34I think he's going to get a couple of extra votes in the ballot box if they get that far.

02:38Florida's minus 140 on Saturday night, game number three at home in Sunrise, plus a buck 16 for Carolina.

02:45That's a five and a half.

02:46You know, before last night, Florida, 10 of their 13, so now 10 of their 14 games have gone over in these playoffs,

02:53which is why, and it should have gone over last night.

02:55They scored five goals.

02:56Carolina left them out.

02:58Yeah, I would wait.

03:00I don't mind the under in theory, but I actually want to wait for a live under six and a half.

03:05They come out, they score, and then we see the under hit because they could win this game 3-2,

03:10and then maybe the empty net goal push to a 4-2, and then you would lose the five and a half.

03:14Wait for an in-game six and a half under.

03:16Which happened last night, end of the first period of 3-0, it was six and a half.

03:20You could have got the little live six and a half last night with those two.
