    February 18, 2021 | The Hockey Betting Podcast

    EPISODE RECAP: Another week ended with most of the guys’ predictions holding true on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast. Cam was correct to fade the Nashville Predators on Thursday as a fired-up Columbus club romped 3-0 at home. Brian clipped Cam on a Sabres-Caps forecast when Washington prevailed 3-1, but Cam also called Minnesota's triumph on Thursday and Carolina's 2-goal win on Friday. Florida's series-opening puck line vs Detroit was a Blessing as promised on the show, thanks to Aleksander Barkov and the 'Cats chasing Red Wing goalie Thomas Greiss with four goals in the first 15:15. Ottawa was "barking" all night Saturday to help Brian win a sweet underdog pick in OT. The podcast duo's main frustration of the weekend was common to NHL fans. Lake Tahoe's ample sunshine did a lot more than drive-up the goal total. Listen to this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

    preview for
    thursday February 18 2021
    and now live from las vegas your host of
    The Hockey Betting Podcast
    Brian Blessing
    the alarm clock hey everybody
    tweets
    properly
    oh my god i'm going crazy
    all right we can do the podcast let's
    see tonight Ottawa Toronto you already
    saw for two weeks uh Islanders
    Pittsburgh uh you already saw it
    Boston yeah don't worry you'll be seeing
    it hey look the Flyers are back okay we
    can talk about that one
    [Laughter]
    oh good god Arizona and st
    louis for the eighth time but uh
    Arizona's playing good some good hockey
    but anyway Brian uh
    where where do we start with the Leafs
    and senators uh
    part three part 11.
    lisa three bucks again otto Ottawa
    beat him took him to the mat yep he
    hadn't had a 10 bill chance to tie the
    game
    what is this all right so it is it's the
    third one
    otto was playing hard they are i mean
    what do you do
    you know what it was honestly here's all
    the clowning aside though
    you know a new series first game high
    second game low
    now we get to the third game now that's
    our we get we got to extend our
    what do we do with the third game i
    guess you just go with a better team i
    guess
    i guess i don't know we can like there's
    really no like i got to create a
    database or something for these type of
    things
    i don't know even know what you call it
    but i gotta believe Ottawa
    falling short and playing so well this
    could be the game Brian where
    you know what i mean like they're almost
    out of gas and the Leafs like pump them
    like a six to three type of game like
    that's the vibe
    i'm getting from it we've Ottawa has
    been a great live bet
    we talked about it like some of the
    books you know you're getting plus two
    plus two and a half when they're down a
    goal and
    they're hanging in every game like let's
    call it for what it is the least
    shouldn't be a
    minus 310 but you got to believe though
    uh Brian they
    you know the Ottawa is getting some good
    goaltending too they got great student
    you talked about him batherson they got
    some good young players on that team but
    i gotta believe
    oh here we go like they might be out of
    gas
    here's our angle i guess third game if
    it was going to happen it's going to
    happen
    matt murray versus hutch oh a touch oh
    boy
    will the Leafs play for hutch question
    even if they do help they probably you
    know otto was still going to like the
    land but if they don't it's a track meet
    yeah i like the over i agree i don't
    think he could touch Toronto if hutch
    like vomits all over himself as you like
    to say Brian it might be like 5-4
    Ottawa or the Leafs can play for this
    guy in Ottawa still going to get a
    couple
    yeah six and a half yes over
    tough card though yeah no i know like
    it's all kind of bleeding into each
    other
    you know what's funny buddy i mean
    you're saying that but it's like
    you're right it's like it is no normally
    right say this is a year ago
    when you know life is normal and you
    know we're not wearing masks and you're
    not dropping car keys in the snow and
    all that kind of thing
    and you look at the the nhl card you go
    oh yeah i like that i like that
    that one i like that now you're sitting
    there going it's a rubik's cube like
    well how many times have they played
    each other
    it's it's weird it is it is weird but
    yeah i think Ottawa Toronto over the way
    to attack it guys if you're
    listening to the program like Brian i
    like we've been we've been pretty solid
    but
    in dead yeah no in all seriousness it's
    a hard card like Ottawa's played these
    guys tough
    you get a backup goalie i think the leaf
    should win the game and the game goes
    over but at 310
    if you like the Toronto side Brian it's
    either parlay material
    with uh somebody else or you know what i
    mean the over i think is a good way to
    go about it
    all right got one for you here the
    Islanders are at pitch oh i'm listening
    and i'm listening all right the pens are
    a dollar
    twenty so be it plain better
    uh but here's the deal they've only
    played once this year was a 4-3
    game and the Islanders we we said it's
    how hard is it would it be to bet
    Pittsburgh
    under you know so it's casey the smith
    you know var lamov is really good
    he's seven two and two his goals against
    is one eight nine but
    you had the Islanders who just played
    the Sabres twice
    and they got the lead in both games Cam
    and literally
    it was like python time
    if you're wearing green and red you know
    it looked like jacques lemaire's left
    wing lock devils
    and the Sabres couldn't do anything
    about it you know
    it's the first game of a new set here i
    think i'd kind of go with the
    over five and a half i mean you're not
    going to get many Pittsburgh games
    that are five and a half and and for
    llama was really good but crosby malkin
    blah blah blah
    i mean i think Pittsburgh you know
    certainly can pot a couple here where
    the Sabres couldn't
    i think i'd i'd fire back with the over
    here first game of a new set between
    these two
    i don't have a problem with that and
    yeah the Islanders you know they can
    kind of dictate styles sometimes and you
    said it like the sabre's not even
    getting a shot
    in the third period of game that's
    insane it looks like they're getting
    back to their old islander ways under
    barry trots and
    they weren't playing well before i got
    to be honest with you too Brian you look
    at that price
    you know you're going to give me the
    Islanders they're a hot team like they
    swept Buffalo it's like are they just
    going to like take the night off they
    don't seem like that team they're very
    streaky
    but this streak could go on for a while
    they're actually understanding hey
    we're a good team you know we've always
    been playing this way the last couple
    years they've been great to us as dogs
    and
    i don't really feel comfortable laying
    20 25 cents with Pittsburgh i lean to
    the Islanders in this spot
    jersey in Boston Boston is a big
    favorite you know about 230
    yeah totals five and a half listen the
    devil's lindy rough
    whatever he's doing you know i mean he's
    making great job so they come off the
    long
    ridiculous layoff and they beat the
    rangers 5-2 well okay you're jumping
    into the deep end of the pool with who
    you're shooting at tonight
    i i think i think you come back if
    jersey's playing good and hard
    and they're in this game with Boston
    it's it's a low scoring game it's a 2-1
    kind of game the way jersey's playing
    give them credit they're playing good
    i'd kind of go i'd go under the total
    here
    i agree with you i think uh Boston wins
    this game three to one
    maybe you know four to one tops we get
    the five and a half that hook is really
    important
    i also think Boston's parlay material
    the devils were playing the rangers it
    was 2-2 they exploded in the third
    period to win that game Brian i got to
    give them full marks you said lindy
    ruff's done a great job but
    uh Boston is a different animal uh
    like they're at home they're just one of
    these teams even if they're down you
    still think they can come back
    uh i see a low scoring game as to Boston
    and parlays maybe even on the puck line
    but
    you said it could be a two to one three
    to one type of game but i agree with you
    under five and a half all right then we
    get in
    it's a hard team to trust but let's just
    go with our theory
    nashville's at columbus columbus is
    minus a quarter the total is five and a
    half
    bottom line is here you know this
    nashville thing is a dog's breakfast
    i it's the first game of a new set
    it's rinnie versus mers leakings and i
    would lean
    over but i also would say
    i'd go columbus's way i mean nashville's
    desperate but it looks
    it looks pitiful but uh what do you call
    it
    our boys here columbus just got
    embarrassed 7-3
    and it's one thing when a team gets
    embarrassed to bounce back
    it's another thing for a team to get
    embarrassed with tortorella as the head
    coach
    i couldn't agree more nashville to me is
    fade material is actually going to load
    up on the dallas game before the power
    outages Brian and yeah not just colder
    we got deal with storms in
    in dallas just a crazy year altogether
    but columbus is only 25 cents i like the
    over i think they can get there
    themselves
    i don't trust the nashville predators in
    any type of situation if they beat us
    so be it but i like columbus in this
    spot and i like the over i think
    columbus will win this game like five to
    five to two all right last game for
    the Flyers they beat the cab 7-4
    that was February 7th so here's another
    one of these teams
    coming off the shelf and it started out
    Cam
    okay this is unbelievable these teams
    coming off the shelf for winning
    well the devils pulled it off the Sabres
    in minnesota didn't they
    not though it was one and two yeah and
    they're they're playing the they're
    playing the rangers here
    but the one thing is hart's a different
    goalie home in a way
    i you know rangers coming off of laws i
    probably
    lean philadelphia's way but you know
    what too many unknowns
    it's a coin flip because of them coming
    off the shelf i like the under i think
    at five and a half um
    not my favorite game on the board but
    the rangers play those low scoring games
    and the
    devil's kind of exploded on them i don't
    know what uh the loss of
    uh trouba on the defense four to six
    weeks he's out for
    they were already a little bit thin when
    d'angelo left the team but they were
    playing better so i i got to tell you
    Brian
    with with the rangers there i kind of
    like them as a sneaky like small little
    dog tonight i think the line tells you
    that the books are
    afraid like they should have made
    philadelphia like a buck 25
    a buck 30. we're opening up at a buck 15
    that tells me something it's not our
    first rodeo
    i think the rangers might be live i see
    like a a two to two very tight game
    maybe the rangers steal one in overtime
    or shoot out
    i like i like them as a small dog in
    this uh spot maybe the under but i like
    uh
    yeah i think that's the way i'm gonna go
    with this game i think i'm gonna take a
    shot with the rangers and the under
    i and when i talk about this kami i may
    make this sound like and i may tug
    myself into this being
    maybe one of the better plays on the
    night for a myriad of weird reasons st
    louis
    puckline san jose at st louis
    and saint louis dollar 86 but the total
    is sitting at six well it's five and a
    half over a quarter or six under a
    quarter
    i think this is one of those breath of
    fresh air games
    i think there are goals galore in this
    game
    you had st louis play Arizona seven
    games in a row
    yep okay san jose had been scoring goals
    then they played vegas and they played
    anaheim who can't shoot it in the ocean
    two low scoring games i think these two
    teams
    specifically st louis is going to be
    thrilled to see anybody else they don't
    know each other hate each other yet
    first game of a new set
    i i think this is goals i think this is
    an over game
    i i think it's i think it's my best bet
    on the card tonight is san jose st
    louis over i like saint louis and i like
    the over
    is what we talk about if you get the
    five and a half i wouldn't be shocked if
    st louis put put up a five spot this is
    a team that's coming off a loss to
    Arizona
    they're gonna be angry they didn't bury
    their chances san jose they're not the
    defensive monster that Arizona has we
    got to give Arizona credit like
    you know what i mean they're getting
    great goaltending and they're playing a
    great defensive system they got good
    young players back then san jose
    they got guys like me and you out there
    Brian they're all they're older veterans
    and
    i got to be honest with you in my
    opinion i think the whole san jose team
    should be for sale
    and try to rebuild because you're going
    nowhere with this club st louis is going
    to be absolutely pissed
    the way they played against Arizona some
    of those games in the series they look
    bad
    i think st louis yeah they can hit the
    total themselves i think they
    blow these guys out of the water six to
    three type of game give me the blues
    to just go back to the theory that we've
    been talking about that seven game set
    all right with Arizona game one
    i gotta let me go back here so long ago
    all right game one
    four three over we had the app over yep
    all right
    game two actually Came back and was four
    three it was over two then
    but they split okay so different team
    won
    then you went under over under over
    under yep every other game is different
    in terms of adjustments that are being
    made and that's what i'm saying
    you're seeing a fresh face there's no
    adjustments go out and play hockey
    and you know santa's san jose got more
    than enough guys can put the puck in the
    net
    and with perron and o'reilly and those
    guys are going to be pissed
    they're like they're i expect points
    from o'reilly perron and the rest of
    these guys tonight
    even their defenseman you know tory
    kruger i think could have a big night i
    i just love the blue the blues are
    professional organization the way they
    played against Arizona
    you could tell berube like he's gonna
    light a fire under these guys and san
    jose could be in big trouble
    i'm with you buddy we'll see how this
    first game goes over i'm taking
    i'm taking the home team too it will be
    parlayed with some other dance partners
    but uh i couldn't agree more at the
    total of five if you
    the six i'm not worried about they they
    post a six to scare you
    we're we're going to go for it we're not
    scared over how about
    la and anaheim and i would just i will
    what's going on now no no no here's i
    mean you you gotta
    it's honestly god bless you you just sit
    back relax and
    you know drink your eureka live and
    whatever free

    what do you see a two to one game here i
    don't see six goals in this game
    maybe it's a sneaky over but well i just
    i know i know this
    and i kind of like Arizona they're fun
    to watch a little bit they are but uh
    they're not a dollar sixty favorite in
    this game that's oh it's it's high
    and i won't be betting Arizona this is a
    game that could trip people up the old
    add the parlay game because i think
    people just put in Arizona
    or uh you know just try to get get that
    thing boosted but
    hey let's give Arizona full marks they
    played well in those games
    against st louis they've really
    tightened up defensively their
    goaltending's been fantastic
    uh but i'm not laying 60 cents so for me
    it's the under
    and i'm going to pass on the side in
    this game lean to Arizona but i don't
    want to take it
    you know we are absolutely pally doing
    the we're doing the wrong thing
    after all these years be tough to start
    over but we should be a hockey agent
    i mean i mean this this kid zach white
    cloud with vegas
    is making 70s in the offseasons his
    first full year
    he was like phenomenal in the bubble and
    the kid signs a two-year deal for 725
    000
    a year i'm like who the hell is this
    guy's age and he's playing better than
    petrangelo right now i know the guy's
    good
    okay okay so there's that one but the
    other one is
    here i'll give you Arizona i'll say
    i will say you'll get it in you'll get
    it
    now get who the name the top three guys
    for Arizona that
    right now i'd say clayton keller
    uh who else is on that team's on fire
    right now
    uh yeah you're right oh god that's all
    right i'm sorry it's early
    no this connor garland guy harland
    garland garland
    connor garland you're right garland he
    is on
    fire he's awesome
    this guy's making seven hundred thousand
    dollars a year that's stupid
    that's uh i gotta be honest with you
    let's get Arizona because talking
    those guys they're not playing with a
    full deck either like they have to deal
    with people not wanting to go there
    the hockey market's not as big as some
    other ones you know i know i
    complained before this this and that
    about the game against the blues but you
    know when you watch Arizona night after
    night like you get a respect for that
    team like
    Brian you said it that's an absolute
    steal this guy's one of the best young
    players in the league
    he's great for under a million yeah no
    that's the thing see we wouldn't
    i don't know how i have no
    qualifications to be an agent what do i
    do just sit back there and get hey
    my clients he's pretty good you know
    well you can't be any worse than white
    cloud and garland's agent is my point
    yeah yeah i know
    they could have picked us yeah yeah
    that's the thing we've just been down
    for beers with them and said hey we'll
    represent you
    hey don't you think this guy should get
    like 2.5 a year oh yeah
    yeah okay okay how hard is it
    no Arizona yeah you know you got me
    thinking Arizona it might be the play
    there i just don't like the juice
    what are we going to do with uh no
    errors you said it karner garland
    underrated and they got a lot of good
    young players in that team they're even
    they're
    like chitran on defense and these other
    guys like they're they're know what they
    are they're guys you don't know about
    if you don't watch every night but
    they're all like young and above average
    that's the thing they got a nice little
    base there
    uh minnesota anaheim Brian that's the
    last game on the docket do we come back
    to minnesota
    they really let me down well they got
    their legs under them you give them a
    pass for the first game
    i'll give them ass but they better take
    care of business tonight because i think
    i'm going to bet them
    yeah no i know i mean oh by the way i'm
    scared
    anaheim if you're into numbers if you're
    into such things betting
    yeah which uh anaheim's got the lowest
    goals a game
    one point nine four a game it's hideous
    what do you think about the total you
    know everyone's going to smash the under
    this
    maybe minnesota figures it out tonight
    they were horrible against l.a
    well if you know they get their legs and
    it's the first of a two-game set just
    blindly going on the
    theory over first game under second i
    you know
    i guess but there's other other options
    by the way
    it's not the last game on the card
    there's a write-in game
    because yeah even though i'm looking at
    the time why is it why is it at the
    bottom
    capitals because
    my friend the sabers you know what Brian
    i'm gonna do something stupid Buffalo
    lost two games to the uh Islanders
    this is a Cam Stewart special season's
    over
    i didn't give up on vancouver remember a
    lot buddy when we were doing our podcast
    hit edmonton and coover last night
    people were calling me like insane for
    taking vancouver they murdered calgary
    that night
    they can fight back Buffalo this is it
    this is your stanley cup this is
    everything you historically play
    washington tough
    i'm going to take a shot with the Sabres
    as my ugly dog with rabies of the night
    who really needs help and if this dog
    doesn't win
    unfortunately i can't take care of him
    anymore like sorry old
    yeller he gone i'm not
    i would never build a dog but i gotta
    get away you know what i mean like my
    friend
    aren't you a little surprised honestly
    that when you you see some of these
    outlandish
    numbers in who the favorites are there's
    just so much talent on that team that
    they're
    right now they're the numbers telling
    you Buffalo they're playing
    you know like here would you have made
    washington after losing two games to
    uh buck 80. yeah but yeah yeah but
    here's Buffalo coming back off the shelf
    two games
    where they they barely showed up against
    the Islanders
    and you know they lost three one and
    three nothing
    you know and it's only a dollar it's
    only a dollar seventy it is almost like
    they're trying to tell you something
    it's a trap i'm i'm on Buffalo and uh
    let me come in regulation or plus one
    and a half just for safety but i'm on
    Buffalo
    this breaks my heart it breaks my heart
    because you're gonna bet on washington
    no no no i it breaks my heart because i
    love the guy but i'm telling you i'm
    watching michael
    and body language is not good
    it's not it's not good and you know by
    the way
    a with the crew that they've had they're
    in there defensively you got to find out
    because it's a big difference
    and especially if he if he does come
    back tonight and i i can't find it
    he has an in-game war every game and
    it's pretty impressive
    is risto linen and ovechkin literally
    can't stand each other
    i mean they throw three or four checks
    where they're trying to murder each
    other every game but ristolina was not
    playing in those first two games his
    absence
    i mean they made those guys made
    ristolina look like a norris candidate
    yeah him not being in the lineup
    in their own end colin miller is brutal
    i mean he could get him
    like watching the sabers like i don't
    know Brian we have enough problems in
    our life that's just one that we don't
    need
    but i'm thinking about what i do you
    know i could see the text me texting you
    can you Brian i can you believe i
    brought the saber slam exclamation mark
    i am a complete stooge but i'm doing it
    i'm doing it you didn't hear it from me
    all me you guys can all the complaints
    about the hockey podcast if to say i'm
    just saying the sabers could be live i
    don't know
    well you know why if they win this game
    i'll tell you this if they win this game
    and he's capable of it
    they are capable no it was all mark and
    then it was
    omar is way better than hud i agree with
    that all right so they get all marks
    getting the start tonight
    you know what here's the thing about
    washington you're coming out that big
    win a bit against Pittsburgh
    Buffalo comes to town a team that she's
    like Buffalo i just see washington
    coming out cold i'd actually take know
    what a good bet might be Buffalo first
    period
    if they come out if they show any type
    of pride they come out and get a lead in
    this game
    we got to move on from this but then
    actually we do holy cheese yeah
    no no but the real quick the one thing
    washington coming out of the gate
    you had samsonov and the vinichek kid
    and the vinichik kid stood on his head
    and carried them through you know a time
    when all those guys were out there when
    that kids hit a wall yeah you know what
    is it going to be uh samson off luggage
    tonight i even like Buffalo more than
    i don't care who's in that no it's
    energy it's omar convinced
    this kid into the ground Buffalo i know
    i'm taking a shot with Buffalo
    Buffalo if you're listening this podcast
    i know you're not but anybody your boy
    krueger your
    my son says your company stinks yeah it
    stinks and i'll say this Buffalo
    show up tonight and get it done this is
    a spot you said it Brian like if these
    guys lose this game i don't know where
    they go for
    they're honestly i mean i'm you know i'm
    a big stick
    they're losing their fan base they are
    because people are up in arms
    what do they do for their fan base
    nothing hey listen skinner's making nine
    million
    and then you know what and they're they
    threw him up with michael nothing
    he's playing hard but he's he cannot
    score and
    you know who's costing himself a a
    brinks truck every night out there
    taylor hall yeah looks like junk right
    now
    he signed a one-year eight million
    dollar deal i mean
    it's to the point where the sabers don't
    want him that's a horrible deal
    like you know think about all the young
    players you talked about Arizona and
    then we look at
    taylor hall former coyote making eight
    million dollars and playing like that
    sorry that's you know what Brian you
    should be hired by the Sabres sabers if
    you're listening Brian Blessing i
    guarantee can do a better job than some
    of the guys you have
    uh in that organization it's disgusting
    but you know what i'm gonna give him one
    more shot Brian if they lose
    you'll get a text from me saying uh yeah
    you should have told me so but
    i i gotta have faith in this uh streak

    show on wednesday night
    you said thursday like three times i'm
    like kiddo i know i did kiddo
    uh i don't know you know i don't know
    where the atomic clock
    stops in canada but you're it's going
    really fast you're a day ahead
    no you're right Brian i just said i'm
    like it was like the third time
    every time you said it i said yeah
    i don't even know and then i see and
    then the first thing i see is tweet sent
    out
    tweets out you guys ready yeah we're
    ready
    down boy what do we do caroline
    caroline yeah i almost fell
    off my recliner which is hard to do
    because i
    there's such a dent in it but but
    mine is pretty dangerous but chicago
    i look i go what like chicago's tied for
    first in the central then i'm like oh oh
    okay well that's great yeah but
    everybody's got four games in hand in
    them they're the one team that
    played they're the one team that's been
    playing games straight through
    but but nonetheless you gotta give them
    credit at nine five and four
    because they looked terrific in the
    beginning i'm gonna tell you i will give
    them credit but also beating up detroit
    every night should i
    should i be impressed no i'm not and
    i'll tell you one thing carolina's
    like this is a two dollars puck line
    parlays like carolina lost to florida
    that game chicago they should have lost
    to detroit i watched the game like they
    got dominated and they
    that goalie they got oh man he's good
    he's been
    standing on his head there Brian was a
    cat you know the guy i'm talking about
    the finished kid he's uh he's
    unbelievable he's unbelievable
    he's been they've been getting great
    goaltending i'm on the lagging kid
    lacking yeah locking in is not lacking
    talent i can tell you that lacking in
    is unreal he's been playing good and the
    only reason i could lose this game is
    because of lacking in but i'm on
    carolina to blow these guys up i'm sorry
    i opposed that get right guys i
    apologize for not like being immediately
    there to cover you
    i'm multitasking you know it's not a
    hockey podcast but the eagles just
    traded carson wentz to the colts for a
    second rounder and a conditional
    second that can turn into a first
    nfl nfl carousel quarterback carousel
    yeah yeah yeah carson we're gonna get
    two first round picks and whatever get
    bent
    anyway carolina is the play for me Brian
    i wouldn't be surprised
    if they hit uh over six and a half i see
    carolina if the goalie in chicago
    doesn't stand on his head he might give
    up five or six alone
    florida going into detroit sasquatch
    foot laying a dollar seventy
    i might take detroit i'm telling you
    this team is snake bitten did
    phil florida feeling good about
    themselves these are the games that i
    like that fall under the radar
    detroit's actually played well against
    florida this year too
    plus 150 you got me thinking i'll tell
    you one thing i'm not betting florida
    Brian what do you think
    it'd be puckline or nothing for me i
    mean for florida yeah
    they're detroit can play detroit's
    beating these guys four to one they like
    overtime games against florida they're
    snake bitten like
    detroit destroyed scalded me a couple of
    times in games
    at the over a couple of times in the
    last 10 days with these guys
    post you know i know always adam's apple
    falls just out like you can't you can't
    that's the thing i watch that give me a
    call post post post it's like
    man you should want you should have won
    this game sometimes those posts are
    gonna go hit the post and go in
    and you're getting these guys at a price
    i don't i don't know the total five and
    a half whatever
    i just think detroit might be live
    that's all all right we here we go
    tell me oh here we go battle all roberta
    part two they better give us a better
    shot
    one didn't happen no it sucked it was
    awful
    and now calgary should be coming in here
    good for you you had edmonton they got
    the win over winnipeg i know you needed
    that one yeah
    i did i ever but you know calgary is
    coming in here
    having what would they do they i guess
    not the end of the world they they smell
    they got smoked by vancouver
    they split those adults
    so it's not the end of the world and uh
    the thing i would say to be careful with
    edmonton
    and maybe calgary fell victim to it was
    the looking ahead to the battle of
    alberta i agree
    um but i like calgary here
    i like blood i like over
    blood teeth calgary yeah that seems
    about right
    uh all right been being vancouver's home
    oh god this game's giving me a headache
    already pick them vic
    over winnipeg vancouver it's a new
    series i mean
    yeah vancouver can score i'm sorry
    i'm sorry winnipeg can score vancouver's
    actually been playing better too
    uh yeah i can lean over i could see a
    five to four four to three type of game
    by the way winnipeg's found their
    offense they scored three three and five
    the last three games vancouver back home
    new new opponent oh
    and the the making you pay for it to get
    there but six and a half
    um you know there's a lot of a lot of
    skill guys out there
    yeah yeah yeah i i know i agree i i
    would i would still take the over in
    that game though Brian and
    you're right vancouver's a little
    they're playing a little bit better but
    still defensively their train wreck and
    winnipeg let's call it out for what it
    is they're they're no prize either they
    can let in goals so
    yeah the over's the way to go all right
    well i mean we could be here for a week
    uh you know doing the weekend here but
    that's
    that's the bed we've made so let's go uh
    saturday again you're looking ahead when
    we do this
    not knowing what results are of certain
    matchups
    Buffalo Buffalo new jersey i again do
    they show up in the makeup game with
    watching no they don't
    i'm going to tell you something if
    Buffalo beats washington i'm not really
    concerned about them stringing it
    together
    also Buffalo beat new jersey two times
    and both games were
    uh actually no one new jersey won the
    last time they played but
    they've been very tight games i gotta i
    gotta probably take new jersey in this
    spot Brian but well i'd
    this is the problem that's the new angle
    but wait a minute
    wait a minute it's the new angle that's
    never existed in hockey before
    okay how much should it be worth in the
    wagering Buffalo's got
    the covered revenge angle
    i mean new jersey
    new jersey gave them new jersey shut
    their season down
    and knocked them off the tracks
    maybe maybe they take it out on jersey i
    don't know about that they might
    yeah i love our theories i got no clue
    i leaned to new jersey vegas colorado
    now let's start
    the one thing i would say that by the
    way that Buffalo jersey game is
    a 12 30 start i've told you this before
    wait a minute Buffalo plays good in day
    games
    they really do they they they they score
    good in day games
    the one thing is uh you know the
    pre-game report
    they'll be doing covet testing at about
    5 30 in the morning for that game
    i don't know i don't know how you know
    that
    no i'm with you i covered revenge i i
    don't know
    i don't know rangers caps
    real quick it's another day okay oh yeah
    you're right sorry this
    this my calendar is way too loud it goes
    from 12 to three hours
    it's hard to do this now you're waiting
    to see how the k how these teams played
    in the previous game
    uh again starting a new series let's do
    this
    one for sure we can we can dive into
    vegas and colorado it's the first of the
    two outdoor games
    and i'm telling you generally
    historically speaking with outdoor games
    you look to play the under
    and there's wind the ice is necessarily
    not as good
    the games can be dumped in chase games
    you scored the man advantage to score
    our face-offs
    that being said i think all these years
    i think they
    know what they're doing now and the ice
    is really good for these outdoor games
    and the weather Cam
    is going to be 40 degrees partly sunny
    partly cloudy
    if it's bright sunshine and this is my
    thing the forecast for sunday says
    a big yellow ball and if it but watch
    the pre-game show
    and the tune-up for this thing because
    they'll be the big hype machine before
    the game
    if it's bright sunshine let me tell you
    something the goaltender's got issues
    with the glare on the ice oh big time
    you ever played outdoor games i have
    when i was younger and we talked to gabe
    about it on game time decisions
    uh Brian on the grid and uh yeah it's
    horrible for a goaltender the glare you
    could put the
    the football dark stuff under your eyes
    it doesn't matter you're
    you talked about it you get glares you
    get weird angles goalies hate that
    stuff if the sun is bright over is the
    way to go even with these two teams
    the last time uh vegas and colorado
    played both games went to the under
    maybe they have a little bit of fun with
    it this is a very tough game to pick
    from a side
    but i'm probably gonna go with vegas in
    this sport
    exactly exactly that's a good angle too
    like when you play hockey the worst
    thing you can do is give up a goal in
    the first
    minute of the period or the last it
    really pisses you off and that beg is
    a talented enough team to hold their
    anger into this game let me
    let me ask you that my answer is these
    two teams are so evenly matched and that
    game the other night was one of the
    fastest games of the year
    great it was a great hockey i wonder if
    in colorado by the way talk to uh jeff
    sherman at the super book
    you know colorado even in vegas where
    all the money comes in on vegas
    colorado's like a 20 cent favorite over
    vegas
    if they were to play in a serie in a in
    the playoffs
    is vegas not a bad idea maybe in the
    first period
    with that stone in their shoe from the
    last game yeah
    yeah it's kind of like the way i looked
    at Buffalo and hopefully it works me
    yeah vegas first period
    i got no problem with that uh they can
    get out to the lead in that game no it's
    a good angle Brian i like it i still
    think
    we'll take a look at the weather could
    be over in this game but this should be
    a classic i leaned to vegas here by the
    way
    no small coincidence those two games
    went under
    and fleur you know number one and number
    two
    in the league in save percentage flurry
    and grubhour
    number one number two great defenses on
    both sides too colorado's probably got
    the deepest defense
    in the league vegas is amazing as well
    should be a lot of fun in this one and
    both offenses you said these teams are
    the total package if colorado's not
    winning the cup
    vegas should be right there Brian two of
    the best in the league should be fun
    the rich get richer i mean you had macar
    and gerard didn't play in these last two
    i would think they were sounded like
    they were close you got to see if either
    one of those guys gets in
    but you talk about just the rich getting
    richer
    they've got those two kids and now you
    throw this bow and by room in there
    Cam you have no i don't know how close
    you watch that game this kid was a stud
    up at the world juniors
    he played 25 minutes against vegas he
    was one of the best players on the ice
    he dangles he i mean he's 19 years old
    the blue line in colorado is gonna sick
    yeah no that's what they they lock up
    that blue line for a decade it's a
    good luck rest of the nhl because that's
    going to be a nightmare to deal with
    all right let's go to some of the
    different matchups um
    what you mean you mean Islanders in
    Pittsburgh no
    no i'm not doing it i refuse
    montreal is the play on okay no no no no
    i said the games let's not talk about
    the games that
    the first games of the series the fresh
    matchups here Toronto and montreal is
    one
    yes and uh Toronto had problems with
    Ottawa they get it done they still
    this team is just a little bit too cocky
    the the way they're playing i
    they they are shooting more pucks than
    that we talk about this
    but montreal also um you know
    Ottawa and montreal get up for playing
    Toronto i know montreal Came back the
    last time in a two-to-one victory is
    Toronto really gonna be that angry i
    don't think they are they're
    they're comfortable right now look at
    their record like 12 and three these
    guys are on fire i think montreal needs
    the game more even though they're very
    close to Toronto i would lean montreal
    in this spot this is coming from a guy
    who
    cheers for the Leafs i think montreal
    could be the play the rest of these
    basically are rematches with the
    exception i would just say this to you
    watch la Arizona watch the one specific
    i think you're getting goals
    see if i'm right i think you're getting
    goals in the first match up on thursday
    night san jose st
    louis if that is a high scoring game i
    would come back with the under in the
    second game of this game
    of this year but i think you can apply
    that to many of these
    matchups if the first game between these
    teams that are playing is high scoring
    you got to look under in the total in
    the second game we've told you that all
    year long
    for the most part it's absolutely
    working here's another one buddy
    tampa bay and dallas i don't know see
    that's why you're smart Brian i was
    going to go to that game you looked
    through everything with your with your
    laser eye and you saw that game this is
    the game we talk about because everybody
    everything else is a
    another rematch what do we do with this
    spot dallas
    no power ready to go i thought they were
    going to kick the crap out of nashville
    before that game got postponed
    you say a burr in their saddle i'd look
    for dallas to be live you know what pal
    maybe i'm crazy you know what buddy you
    know we taped this on
    uh thursday all right we do let's not
    waste a lot of time on this
    because the sad truth is with what's
    going on in texas this game may not go
    again
    yeah no you're right you're right but
    i'm saying if it does
    you're right though the dallas like what
    are they doing there's no power right
    but
    they were in a really good spot i
    thought before all this stuff happened
    and then to get right spot against
    nashville they lost heartbreaking games
    to carolina in those series Brian all
    games in overtime and
    every like what's happening to dallas
    and tampa bay rolls in there
    you know stanley cup rematch i think at
    dallas if they're going to play one damn
    game where they like throw everything at
    them the kitchen sink it's this game and
    they will be a home dog
    well buddy do you realize they got
    points
    in uh three of their last five but they
    lost all five of those games
    i know that's what i'm talking about i
    think it's a great spot for dallas other
    than the power situation in dallas and
    the cancellations against nashville
    they have the stanley cup champions
    coming in rematch
    anger there's a lot of things to like
    and everyone's going oh dallas what
    about the power and whatever you know
    the way these narratives work the
    opposite happens i'm with dallas
    i'm not falling for anything and if i
    lose this game that's my fault
    i'm on the stars all right and we've
    made it to sunday
    and we're looking at at the outdoor game
    philly and Boston now this is the one
    you know hearts really good at home rask
    is really good anywhere as long as he
    doesn't look at the scoreboard
    um that was a joke
    leaves the net up to one like what
    this is
    what you mean you mean you mean the
    thing that is the size of the house that
    is right in front of you that you're
    standing at all games like
    okay well like so is he the guy like the
    coach in cassidy calls a timeout
    uh tuko what do you think we should do
    what do we do what do we do this is the
    this is the over i like it i like it
    over here
    you know what i'm going over to everyone
    thinks philadelphia Boston
    but remember we have to pay attention to
    this stuff we got to see if the sun is
    shining
    watch this watch watch the vegas game
    see how the ice is
    but but the one thing is with the
    weather forecast and it is held true
    this entire week leading up it's a big
    yellow
    glob it's supposed to be bright sunshine
    uh for this game and it's going to be
    played at noon
    it'll go till whatever three o'clock so
    you know by the second and third period
    of that game the sun will be at its
    highest point now
    how they've got it set up the one the
    one difference
    may be is how exactly it may do our
    homework here
    how did they set the rank up it's one
    thing you could set the rink up on a
    golf course anywhere you want it the
    problem they've had
    in the in the past when you put a rink
    in a stadium you have to put it in that
    spot
    here they could they could massage and
    they can turn it however but they want
    the picture postcard or the lake behind
    them
    but you would think they've got it so
    that the sun is not facing either end
    you would hope but even if it's not i'm
    sorry
    there's still glare glare off the ice it
    is blinding
    it is that's that's that's the thing
    it's not like a controlled environment
    under weird lights that you go to
    watching a game in an arena this is
    outdoor
    you can't stop the sun there's no way to
    you know what i mean when he's shining
    down and if you hit a spot
    Brian it's gonna happen say there's a
    fast moving play basically you know what
    i tell these players
    just get in front of the goalie and
    screen them he's gonna have a nightmare
    the whole damn game like you know what i
    mean it's one of those things
    and and you know philadelphia Boston it
    screams a low total it'll probably be
    five and a half
    the guy it'll be like playing a bass
    bass playoff baseball game
    at chavez ravine at four in the
    afternoon where the first three innings
    there's the shadows and the hitters and
    you've got a guy setting a screen in
    front of the neck creating shade and
    then the comes out of the sunlight
    and goes like what the hell just
    happened
    that's the thing like it's not just
    going to be bad like i'm going to be we
    should track this how are the goalies
    confidence after this game too because
    it's going to be different in arena
    going for i don't know like are we
    scientists but at one thing no what
    i'm not if the sun is shining and
    there's glare we're going over in this
    damn
    well the funny thing is the funny thing
    is usually you look to fade the teams
    after the big experience of the outdoor
    game and the games are slower
    and then yeah but the vegas and colorado
    are playing each other so
    that one you can't even consider that
    all right so there's your little outdoor
    thing on sunday
    let me ask you montreal pending the
    result will probably be
    like a dollar what 60 something at
    Ottawa and
    otto was sitting there fresh as a daisy
    let me double check Ottawa is not
    playing montreal place Toronto the night
    before
    is Ottawa a barking dog yes
    Brian you you check check check Brian
    Blessings boxes
    triple b you checked them Ottawa waiting
    montreal emotional game versus Toronto
    Ottawa who do you hate montreal and
    Toronto they think you're the little
    brother that they beat up
    you're waiting for these guys Ottawa
    will throw the kitchen sink at montreal
    if they get any type of goaltending if
    montreal beats Toronto
    Ottawa will be a play and
    jersey washington get a new series
    started here that's a nationally
    televised game
    actually i think you got to watch the
    washington goalies here during the week
    i think these guys are a little bit worn
    down but
    you know the problem is throughout the
    course of a season
    like jerseys wants to believe that
    they're part of this
    and washington knows they are it's like
    how do these guys get up for these games
    exactly and another thing is let's keep
    an eye on the devils
    they're not the same old devils they
    scored four goals against the rangers
    team that all games went under
    maybe we look at the over Brian you
    talked about the capitals goaltending
    situation
    the devils are kind of a little bit of a
    different team and lindy ruff's a good
    coach they could kind of play that
    defensive style but
    they've been scored they can score too
    right you've seen them those games
    versus the sabers
    all went like almost everyone went over
    the number i i don't i don't think
    they're gonna hang a big one there
    i think probably the over i would look
    at in that spot all right and then
    check the friday result winnipeg in
    vancouver if you get the high scoring
    game
    think under and i would say
    i would consider strongly in this game
    and you know understand what we're doing
    here taping this heading into the
    weekend
    i would consider the team unless it's a
    boat race i would consider the team that
    loses the friday night game
    to come back in a revenge spot here on
    sunday
    exactly Brian that's one thing and you
    know by the time when we were taping our
    other stuff when we're doing all the
    various shows
    well who was i on edmonton revenge spot
    against the jets they won that game
    vancouver lost to calgary and a
    heartbreaker Came back and won that game
    that's a good angle that i like too you
    talk about
    the first game over under my team if
    they lose the first i don't get off them
    i come back to them and it's worked more
    than it hasn't

    Thursday, May 6, 2021 NHL Betting Lines, Analysis, Picks

    New Jersey Devils at New York Islanders

    Can anyone trust the New York Islanders after what happened in Buffalo? Somebody sure does, with the Isles' moneyline actually thinning beyond a consensus (-240) at various NHL betting books. 

    New York Rangers at Boston Bruins

    The New York Rangers have played their way out of Stanley Cup contention, and oddsmakers predict the Bruins to ambush the Rangers. Boston Bruins (-1.5) stands at (Even) odds for a faceoff with a steady (5.5) O/U total. 

    Buffalo Sabres at Pittsburgh Penguins

    A rising O/U total (6) highlights a game for which gamblers are not biting on Buffalo after watching the Sabres earn two fat money line wins against the Isles. Pittsburgh's line to win has swelled to (-350) with early shifting. 

    Chicago Blackhawks at Carolina Hurricanes

    The (6) goal total is falling for Thursday's faceoff in Raleigh, but that doesn't mean bookmakers don't think the Hurricanes (-310) will dismiss the eliminated Chicago Blackhawks. 

    Montreal Canadiens at Toronto Maple Leafs

    Finally, an NHL underdog's recent handiwork shines through on the hockey odds board, as bettors pass on the Montreal Canadiens (+190) following the Habs' latest debacle in Ottawa. 

    Vancouver Canucks at Edmonton Oilers

    With the Vancouver Canucks preparing to walk the plank for the dumbest series of NHL games ever, the solid Edmonton Oilers are a (-260) money line favourite to win and keep the pressure on North Division-leading Toronto. 

    Friday, May 7, 2021 NHL Betting Lines, Analysis, Picks

    Detroit Red Wings at Columbus Blue Jackets

    National-team scouts will be thick in an otherwise restricted Friday crowd in Ohio. It might not be a barrel of laughs for the laptop brigade, with a Columbus vs Detroit O/U total reaching Dante's barrel-bottom at (5) goals. 

    Philadelphia Flyers at Washington Capitals

    Washington Capitals money lines of (-195) are strangely steady for a club that's still three losses away from potentially finishing fourth in the East Division. Perhaps NHL bettors are more focused on the Caps' (-1.5) puck line, or on a shrinking (6) goal total. 

    Dallas Stars at Tampa Bay Lightning

    Most handicappers would agree the Dallas Stars are desperate compared to Tampa Bay (-165), but effort can only take a team so far on its own. Five games of lost and dropped points brings the Stars to a must-win scenario in Florida. 

    Anaheim Ducks at Minnesota Wild

    Minnesota has surprisingly lost two in a row at home. Is it time for the guys to hold up a stop sign on another heavily-juiced (-275) favourites' market against the dead-in-the-water Anaheim Ducks? Or will Cam and Brian argue for a parlay-play on a team that's bound to rebound? 

    St. Louis Blues at Vegas Golden Knights

    The St. Louis Blues are surging to the finish line and outplaying common opponents of the Vegas Golden Knights (-165), but the public still likes Friday's host to prevail straight-up.

    Colorado Avalanche at Los Angeles Kings

    NHL speculators are less enthused about Colorado's puck line (+100) on Friday, even against the L.A. Kings, who checkmated themselves out of a Stanley Cup bid with another slump late in the season. 

    Arizona Coyotes at San Jose Sharks

    The Arizona Coyotes will play their final two games of the year in San Jose. With no hope of a playoff bid, will the Coyotes go through the motions, or play loose and easy pond hockey to help cover a (5.5) total? 

    Saturday, May 8, 2021 NHL Betting Lines, Analysis, Picks

    New York Rangers at Boston Bruins

    Buffalo Sabres at Pittsburgh Penguins

    Ottawa Senators at Winnipeg Jets

    New Jersey Devils at New York Islanders

    Philadelphia Flyers at Washington Capitals

    Tampa Bay Lightning at Florida Panthers

    Detroit Red Wings at Columbus Blue Jackets

    Montreal Canadiens at Toronto Maple Leafs

    Carolina Hurricanes at Nashville Predators

    Anaheim Ducks at Minnesota Wild

    St. Louis Blues at Vegas Golden Knights

    Colorado Avalanche at Los Angeles Kings

    Vancouver Canucks at Edmonton Oilers

    Arizona Coyotes at San Jose Sharks

    Sunday, May 9, 2021 NHL Betting Lines, Analysis, Picks

    Dallas Stars at Chicago Blackhawks

    Ottawa Senators at Calgary Flames

    Monday, May 10, 2021 NHL Betting Lines, Analysis, Picks

    New Jersey Devils at Philadelphia Flyers

    An optimistic goal total for Monday night's Philadelphia Flyers (-150) vs New Jersey Devils contest has shrunk to O/U (6) with early betting action, as NHL speculators consider the shaky morale of two teams eliminated from Stanley Cup contention. 

    Carolina Hurricanes at Nashville Predators

    Nashville has officially clinched a playoff spot, and the Predators (+115) will be as interested in scouting the Carolina Hurricanes as beating them. With sighs of relief in both dressing rooms, will Monday's game turn into a fun free-for-all? Bookmakers aren't counting on it, with the O/U goal total at (5.5). 

    Dallas Stars at Chicago Blackhawks

    Team USA and Hockey Canada scouts will hover around a last hurrah for the 2020-21 Dallas Stars and Chicago Blackhawks, desperate to find somebody, anybody who will compete for World Championship gold on short notice. Chicago is only a (+135) underdog to sweep the final two-game tilt. 

    Edmonton Oilers at Montreal Canadiens

    An opening goal total of (6.5) has dropped by a half or whole tally at various sportsbooks, as the star-studded Edmonton Oilers (-115) buoy the more-popular of the two North Division money lines. 

    New York Islanders at Boston Bruins

    The Boston Bruins (-165) draw the lion's share of action on odds-to-win thanks to a New York Islanders club slumping at exactly the wrong time. The Isles recently lost three games in a row to the NHL's weak sisters, but did regain some semblance of pride in a 5-1 blow-out of New Jersey on Saturday. 

    Tampa Bay Lightning at Florida Panthers

    Two clubs moving in opposite directions met on Saturday, with the Florida Panthers extending their win streak via a 5-1 dismissal of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Alexander Wennberg's hat trick is a welcome sight with the Stanley Cup playoffs approaching, but it's Florida's overall form that has turned the Panthers (-125) into a trendy favourite in a season-capping rematch. 

    Vancouver Canucks at Winnipeg Jets

    There's no way for the Vancouver Canucks to play spoiler on Monday night, but the Winnipeg Jets (-170) are under pressure to stand tall on home ice after losing an inordinate number of games over the last few weeks. 

    St. Louis Blues at Los Angeles Kings

    NHL bettors appear shy to pick the St. Louis Blues (-135) with Ryan O' Reilly's club simply waiting for Lord Stanley's tournament to begin. 

    Colorado Avalanche at Vegas Golden Knights

    Monday's faceoff drawn at identical (-110) money lines is not a regular-season finale for the Vegas Golden Knights or Colorado Avalanche. However, the Golden Knights can clinch a West Division title with any kind of victory, while the Avs get a final opportunity to look sharp against an NHL front-runner before concluding their schedule against lowly Los Angeles. 

    Tuesday, May 11, 2021 NHL Betting Lines, Analysis, Picks

    Boston Bruins at Washington Capitals

    Injuries are piling up for the Washington Capitals (-110), who are nonetheless drawing bets at standard ML odds against the visiting Boston Bruins, thanks to home ice and a (slightly) superior W/L record. 

    Vancouver Canucks at Winnipeg Jets

    Winnipeg may be obvious about coasting to the finish line, but there's no more downtrodden NHL team than the Vancouver Canucks, helping to cast the motivation-less Jets as a (-170) favourite to win Tuesday's late battle.

    05/03/2021 Mon-Weds NHL Betting Odds, Picks Podcast

    May 3, 2021 | The Hockey Betting Podcast

    The NHL regular season comes down the home stretch as teams jockey for final playoff positions on the May 3, 2021 episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast. Ask your doctor if The Hockey Betting Podcast is right for you. Brian Blessing and Cam Stewart take a look at the NHL schedule as teams that are out of contention loosen up as they prepare for summer vacation, and teams that are gearing up for their run at the Stanley Cup tighten their games. Listen to this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast for all of Brian and Cam's NHL insights, picks predictions, and hockey betting humour.

    Monday, May 3, 2021 NHL Betting Lines, Analysis, Picks

    New York Islanders at Buffalo Sabres

    The New York Islanders' slump is officially over, and so were the Buffalo Sabres (+250) hopes to reach the Stanley Cup playoffs as of months ago. The guys have a quick take on this match-up. Hear the conversation on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

    Pittsburgh Penguins at Philadelphia Flyers

    Philly's postseason chances are Three Stooges-esque, a.k.a. Nil, Null, and Void at 15 points behind Boston in the East Division. Still, sportsbooks aren't ready to give up on the Flyers (+140) on the daily just yet, at least not with the Pittsburgh Penguins busy greasing playoff wheels and unruffled by dull periods. Listen to this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast for all of Brian and Cam's betting strategies, predictions, and free picks.

    Chicago Blackhawks at Carolina Hurricanes

    The Chicago Blackhawks might be the more desperate club, but the Central Division-leading Carolina Hurricanes have the superior lineup and a (+100) puck line for a Monday faceoff with a (6) goal total. Hear the guys discuss their thoughts on this NHL game on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

    Washington Capitals at New York Rangers 

    An NHL game characterized by a falling (6) O/U goal total pairs a talented Washington Capitals lineup against the hosting New York Rangers, who must win on Monday or give up the ghost. Hear the details on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

    Nashville Predators at Columbus Blue Jackets

    Can a team be disrespected despite a thin money line? Nashville Predators are solid road favourites at (-175) in Columbus, yet Roman Josi's long-term production from the blue line isn't doing much to inspire short-term betting as the O/U total shrinks to a tiny (5) goals. Hear the guys discuss their betting angles on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

    Boston Bruins at New Jersey Devils

    Winnipeg Jets at Ottawa Senators

    Reports that the Ottawa Senators intend to play spoiler in their final five games are helping the Sens to noble (+135) odds to beat the visiting Winnipeg Jets on Monday night, while making NHL gamblers shy of an initial (6.5) total. Hear the guys hash out their picks on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

    Montreal Canadiens at Toronto Maple Leafs

    Dallas Stars at Florida Panthers

    Anaheim Ducks at St. Louis Blues

    With the St. Louis Blues a heavy (-260) favourite, Tthe guys look at three different angles to swing at - a parlay, a puck line, or the goal total of (5.5), the latter of which stands as cautious considering STL's attack vs Minnesota. Hear the discussion on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

    Vegas Golden Knights at Minnesota Wild

    A clash of titans in St. Paul carries an O/U line of (5.5), but only out of respect for the goaltending on each roster. Besides, no one's been able to move a money line that's solidly juiced for the Vegas Golden Knights at (-125). Listen to this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast for the details.

    Los Angeles Kings at Arizona Coyotes

    Colorado Avalanche at San Jose Sharks

    The O/U total fell to (6) goals even for this David vs Goliath style NHL faceoff on Monday night. It's not because fans don't think the Avs will score.

    New York Islanders at Buffalo Sabres

    Can the New York Islanders continue to produce goals after an exhausting stretch? Maybe, given the team's relief at reviving an offence colder than a corpse. Buffalo (+225) has lost another four games in a row and is not getting the miraculous goaltending that enabled epic upsets in midseason, ensuring that the Isles get a high-risk market for a game with a (5.5) O/U total. Hear the guys hash out their picks on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

    Edmonton Oilers at Vancouver Canucks

    The Vancouver Canucks - and possibly the Calgary Flames - are faced with the saddest task of any NHL club in recent times, playing out a string of meaningless "pre-postseason" hockey games while other skaters prepare for a Stanley Cup push or head to Latvia for the 2021 Worlds. For now, though, bookies aren't sure the tragedy of a "ghost ship" spring schedule has set in on the Canucks, and Tuesday night's host-underdog stands an optimistic (-161) on the puck line (+1.5) against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers.

    Thursday, April 29, 2021 NHL Betting Lines, Analysis, Picks

    New York Islanders at New York Rangers 

    NHL bettors clearly prefer the New York Rangers (-120) on Thursday, but do not foresee much offence in the Big Apple, with the O/U total steady at (5.5). Cam already feels good about this game. Everything is on the line for the Islanders. Hear how the guys are looking at the betting angles for this NHL match-up on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

    Philadelphia Flyers at New Jersey Devils

    Detroit Red Wings at Carolina Hurricanes

Hear the guys hash out their predictions on this NHL game on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

    Pittsburgh Penguins at Washington Capitals

    The Pittsburgh Penguins slipped against Boston this week, and while the Washington Capitals can be proud of shutting out the New York Islanders and "choking them out like a python" twice in three games, lots of East Division teams have been taming the Isles' forward lines. With each team clearly holding back prior to the Stanley Cup playoffs, the cautious O/U total (5.5) stands out amid nearly-even odds to win. Listen to this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast for all of Brian and Cam's handicapping insights, picks predictions, and betting humour.

    Buffalo Sabres at Boston Bruins

    The Boston Bruins earn the second (-400) money line of Thursday night, hosting a Buffalo Sabres club that fears a potential fire-sale in the offseason. With such a heavy favorite in the game, the guys discuss parlay opportunities for taking a flyer. Hear the guys discuss this NHL match-up on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

    Florida Panthers at Chicago Blackhawks

    Late-blooming winger Jonathan Huberdeau scored five points in the Florida Panthers' bounce-back 7-4 win over Nashville this week. The flourish of offence from the Panthers has helped cause Florida's line to shrink to (-155) against the host Chicago Blackhawks. Cam admits that he's no team psychologist, but are the Blackhawks fully deflated? Hear the conversation on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

    Calgary Flames at Edmonton Oilers

    Another goal total shrinks to (6) for a North Division faceoff, as oddsmakers trust Edmonton (-141) to handle the visiting Calgary Flames. Listen to this episode of the Hockey Betting Podcast for the details.

    Dallas Stars at Tampa Bay Lightning

    The Tampa Bay Lightning are no longer drawing Stanley Cup futures bets at 6/1 odds, but are still cast as a solid (-170) favourite over the Dallas Stars, who finally have a playoff bid in sight after making strides over the last few weeks. Hear the guys cover the betting angles on this NHL match-up on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

    Vancouver Canucks at Toronto Maples Leafs

    It appears that oddsmakers have submitted their verdict that the Vancouver Canucks are just about finished winning games on the road in 2020-21. Toronto is a (-115) bet on the puck line (-1.5) to defeat visiting Vancouver by two goals or more. Listen to this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast and hear "Canadian" attorney Lionel Hutz argue an interesting case.

    St. Louis Blues at Minnesota Wild

    Friday, April 30, 2021 NHL Betting Lines, Analysis, Picks

    Winnipeg Jets at Montreal Canadiens

    Winnipeg has lost five in a row, calling into question how worried the Jets are about jockeying for North Division position with the Calgary Flames 12 points behind.

    San Jose Sharks at Colorado Avalanche

    The Colorado Avalanche are a thin-odds money line favourite over "S.J. Sharky," but nowhere nearly as exaggerated as the Canes and Bruins' 1-to-4 Thursday lines at just (-250). Listen to this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast for the guys' discussion on this NHL match-up on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

    Los Angeles Kings at Anaheim Ducks

    L.A. Kings and "Stanley Cup playoffs" won't cling in conjunction this spring, but the Kings remain a hollow (-126) favourite over the last-place Anaheim Ducks. Don't over-think it, but these teams are already practicing with new sets of Callaway golf clubs in preparation for the summer. Hear the guys' attempt to keep it simple on this NHL game on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

    Vegas Golden Knights at Arizona Coyotes

    Arizona is chasing St. Louis in the West Division with three other teams out-of-reach. A playoff-urgency angle for the Coyotes could cast the Friday hots' puck line solidly in minus-payoff range, but Las Vegas is skeptical of its hometown boys losing straight-up, offering (-195) odds on the division leaders. The reoccurring theme this season is right when you think a team is done, they come back.

    The Vancouver Canucks seem more vulnerable than ever to Ottawa's strong work ethic, but managed to rebound with a 4-2 win on Saturday behind 26 saves from Braden Holtby. Ottawa goaltender Matt Murray's injury in the weekend clash is helping cast Vancouver as a (-125) favourite when the North Division series continues at Canadian Tire Centre on Monday. Hear the guys discuss this NHL match-up when you listen to this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

    Dallas Stars at Carolina Hurricanes

    At a glance, the Dallas Stars (+108) have more to play for than the Carolina Hurricanes, who can easily coast into the playoffs. But a logjam atop the Central Division ensures that any contender to suffer a slump could finish well within the divisional pack and hamper its Stanley Cup chances. Listen to this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast for all of Brian and Cam's NHL betting insights, odds analysis, and free NHL picks

    Edmonton Oilers at Winnipeg Jets

    Florida Panthers at Nashville Predators

    Anaheim Ducks at Los Angeles Kings

    The L.A. Kings (-160) whipped Anaheim 4-1 in the clubs' recent faceoff, but the ailing Kings have lost two in a row since then, and a third-straight defeat could put L.A. too far behind to make a run in the West Division. Listen to this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast to hear the conversation on this NHL match-up.

    Arizona Coyotes at San Jose Sharks

    Devilish disrespect from betting books! The San Jose Sharks have lost a miserable, malodorous eight hockey games in a row, and Monday's visiting Arizona Coyotes are technically a top-half NHL team. Nevertheless, the Coyotes are only a (-115) favourite to avoid the ignominy of a San Jose win. Hear the guys consider the situational betting angles on this NHL match-up on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

    Colorado Avalanche at St. Louis Blues

    Descriptions of Ryan O' Reilly's hat tricks in clutch scenarios are starting to feel like a broken record.

    Buffalo Sabres at New York Rangers

    Detroit Red Wings at Columbus Blue Jackets

    Money line odds of only (-145) on favoured Columbus may seem disrespectful to the Blue Jackets.

Hear the guys talk about the betting angles for this NHL match-up on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

    Detroit Red Wings at Dallas Stars

    NHL speculators who glance at the standings may wonder why the Dallas Stars are a strong (-230) money line favourite to defeat the Detroit Red Wings. But look closely and notice the "Games Played" column, and it's apparent that Big D is in fine position to make the playoffs, assuming they can earn three points against the Dead Wings. Brian and Cam see the possibilities in this NHL match-up. Listen to this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast for the complete details.

    Chicago Blackhawks at Nashville Predators

    The Chicago Blackhawks (+120) have scored four goals in three of their last four contests, while the Nashville Predators offence hit a recent high-mark with seven goals against Tampa Bay. But NHL oddsmakers are nodding to percentages and history with a careful (5.5) goal total on Monday night's faceoff in Tennessee. Cam reads between the betting lines, and Brian sees this as a mini-playoff series. Hear the guys hash out the picks on this NHL game on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

    Minnesota Wild at Arizona Coyotes

    Kirill Kaprizov's club is a popular (-150) pick to beat an Arizona Coyotes team stuck at .500 on the season, but will Arizona's greater need for two or three points cause the guys to fade the Minnesota Wild and lean to another NHL underdog? Cam looks to the record and discusses sides and totals. Hear the guys hash out the picks on this NHL match-up on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

    Ottawa Senators vs Calgary Flames

    Calgary can still make the NHL playoffs with a hot streak, while the Ottawa Senators have been polishing golf clubs for weeks, helping the Flames to a (-210) money line for a game with a falling (6) O/U total. Which bus will Brian and Cam take on this NHL match-up? Hear the conversation on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

    Montreal Canadiens at Edmonton Oilers

    Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are NHL co-leaders with 71 and 63 points respectively as the pair rivals Wayne Gretzky and Jari Kurri's PPG stats from another era of Edmonton ice hockey. That hasn't stopped the Oilers vs Canadiens O/U line from slipping to (6) as Edmonton earns a favourite's ML of (-130). Brian is skeptical of the Canadiens' recent play. Listen to this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast for all of Brian and Cam's NHL predictions, hockey betting common sense, and laughs.
