00:00Let's take a look at some of these divisions in hockey because it still seems that two could be up
00:03for grabs in the predictive markets.
00:05I'm seeing the Pacific Division winner here, the Anaheim Ducks currently trading at a 60% chance doing the division.
00:11The Edmonton Oilers, a dog price of 41%.
00:15Any looks between Anaheim and maybe the underdog right now, Oilers?
00:20The underdog, and that doesn't make any sense, right?
00:24Conor McDavid, I know Dreisaitl's out here.
00:27The Oilers are doing it again though, right?
00:29They had problems most of the season, right?
00:31Goaltending, defense, whatever it might be, but they turn it on when it matters most, and now is when it
00:36matters most.
00:37They're winning games.
00:38Yeah, okay, they beat a Patsy yesterday.
00:40Fine.
00:41They still won the game here.
00:42Yeah, I'm going to like the Oilers again.
00:43I just wonder, Donnie, if they're just going to do this again where we don't like them because of their
00:47goaltending,
00:48but they've been to two straight Stanley Cup finals.
00:50All right, so I'm going to go with them here to win the division.
00:52But Anaheim is another great story.
00:55All right, a team that we were hoping might make the wild card, make some noise here,
00:59and they've got a shot at the division, and they're getting in the playoffs.
01:02Crazy.
01:04Most of the divisions, right?
01:05I mean, let's face it.
01:06The Central is going to Colorado.
01:08The Metro is going to Carolina.
01:11But the only other one would be the Atlantic here with Tampa Bay and Buffalo.
01:17Everyone else is priced at about $0.99 there to lock it up.
01:21Only $0.66 for Tampa to get it locked up.
01:25Could the Savers theoretically overtake Tampa here before it's all said and done?
01:31Of course they could.
01:32All right?
01:33Now is when you do look down the schedules, right?
01:34Tampa does have a game in hand, which is why technically they're in first place,
01:38and Buffalo's in second place.
01:40They can certainly catch them there.
01:41Buffalo may be the best story of the year.
01:44We even sort of left this team for dead around American Thanksgiving, right?
01:47Then also Lenny Ruff takes over.
01:48This team can't lose anymore.
01:50And they've got Tate Thompson.
01:52You've got Alex Tuck.
01:53Nice players, right?
01:54Terry Thompson's a good player.
01:55But there's no superstars here, right?
01:57I mean, there's no Sidney Crosby's.
01:59There's no Nathan McKinnon's.
02:00There's not, but yet they're playing so well here.
02:02So, yeah, I'm on board with that Buffalo could cast.
02:05Do I think they will?
02:06No.
02:06I think Tampa Bay will hold them off,
02:08mainly because of the guy you and I were talking about, Vasilevsky.
02:11I just don't trust.
02:14As far as what Buffalo's going to do in the playoffs,
02:16I just don't trust Uka Pekka Lukaden, my favorite name in the NHL,
02:20and Alex Lyon, the goaltending.
02:22I'm going to need to see them, I guess, win games,
02:24win playoff series for me before I trust them.
02:26And from what we hear,
02:27Buffalo is going to rotate in the playoffs as well
02:29between Uka Pekka Lukaden and Alex Lyon.
