00:00It's very OV-centric tonight.
00:01I heard, I just told Dave, I think he's gonna get two tonight.
00:04He's got two tonight, and then he's gonna break it on Sunday against the Isles.
00:07So we will start, we'll start with the power play points first,
00:11cuz I do have Ovechkin connected to that as well, that's okay.
00:15We'll get Ovechkin in there for the power play points, why?
00:18Because they are playing the awful Chicago Blackhawks tonight.
00:22So, plus a buck 95 for Ovechkin to get himself a power play point.
00:27I think they'll have lots of opportunities.
00:28I think that they are looking to completely feed him at this point.
00:31Ovechkin in his office, in the circle, bang, bang.
00:34In fact, and for that play, he don't even need to score.
00:38He had assist on the power play, and we can also go to the window with that.
00:42Dylan Larkin plus 270, really it feels like the only way Detroit even scores
00:46anymore is if their power play doesn't.
00:48And Larkin, and the Raymond, and the rest of those guys have been the ones.
00:51Plus 270 for Larkin for a power play point against Carolina.
00:56And with Minnesota at the horse track tonight, and the Islanders reeling again.
01:01They've had one of the worst penalty kills in the league all year.
01:04It's been better the last couple months of the season.
01:08But I believe that they have completely let go of the rope.
01:11So that could lead to some sloppy play,
01:13some more power play opportunities for Minnesota tonight.
01:16Who's also been struggling, and they're gonna press a little bit.
01:19They've gotta score Zuccarello plus 300 for the power play point there.
01:23So we'll go Ovi, Larkin, and Zuccarello on the power play side of things this evening
01:28for the final five.
01:29As far as the goal scores, me and Dave were just talking about it.
01:32The hat trick number's stupid.
01:34I think the two goal one is a little bit more palatable.
01:37I know two goals for the best guys in the league,
01:39usually the Austin Matthews, and the Dry Sidles, and the McDavids.
01:42It's around seven.
01:44You're getting Ovi looking for a record against the worst team in the league
01:48at home.
01:49It was five earlier down to plus 460 for Ovechkin to score two goals tonight.
01:54So I think he gets a deuce.
01:56Probably the second one's an empty netter.
01:58Cuz if they're up, they're gonna be looking for it.
02:00So we'll take a shot with Ovechkin tonight to score a couple goals.
02:04Minnesota on the money line,
02:05I think I've made it pretty clear about how I feel about the New York Islanders.
02:10So Minnesota on the money line, plus 105 this evening.
02:14I think it's ridiculous that the Islanders are favored by that much.
02:18Ridiculous.
02:19Now, I could be falling into the trap.
02:21Who knows?
02:21That happens to us all the time.
02:23But I'll take my shot with the Wild out there.
02:27As far as the total tonight, again, Washington and the Blackhawks.
02:32It's a six and a half.
02:34It's minus 115.
02:35We will go up, up, up and away with this one.
02:39How about Chicago too?
02:40They've lost 11 of their last 12 on the road.
02:43They are horrible, the Chicago Blackhawks.
02:48So we will go with the over six and a half in that one tonight.
02:52Our future this week for the final five.
02:56Now, we've got a lot of long term stuff.
02:58This is actually one that will be decided in the next two weeks.
03:02Panthers lost to Toronto the other night.
03:04That means that they have now slipped to third in the Atlantic right now
03:09with 92 points.
03:11They're four points back of Toronto.
03:14Toronto, Tampa, and Florida all have seven games left to play.
03:18They do play each other another time in Florida.
03:21I think this number is too big.
03:23Plus 750 for Florida to come back and win that division.
03:27Now, there's a few things you got to remember here.
03:30They can't be tied because their regulation wins.
03:34They've got three less than Toronto and Tampa right now.
03:37So that'll be an issue.
03:38But for how tight it is and the fact that these teams are playing each other so
03:43much, and it's Florida, who by many accounts are the best team in the league,
03:48it's the best team in the East.
03:50Plus 750 for them to find a way in the last seven games to take that division,
03:55I don't think is completely out of the question.
03:57So we'll have a little blast with the Panthers here going forward.
