00:00I need to ask you a question.
00:01I told, like, when my Flyers are really bad,
00:03and they've been bad, it feels like, for a decade,
00:04outside of a late surge here into the playoffs this year.
00:07The Oilers, Tom, on deck to be getting knocked out
00:11after back-to-back Western Conference championships here?
00:15Say it ain't so tonight.
00:17I mean, I said this to you guys, you know,
00:19last week before the series started,
00:21the Ducks were alive to win the series.
00:23They have a great offense, and goaltending and defense
00:25were always the issue for the Oilers.
00:27And, you know, we saw that,
00:28and it's not about this controversial goal
00:30about a puck that barely snuck over the edge
00:33or whatever it is.
00:34Allowing four, five, six goals,
00:35whatever it is on a nightly basis,
00:37is never a winning formula.
00:39McDavid and Dreisaitl can only carry the team so much.
00:42If you told me there was an offense out there
00:44that could score three or four goals on a nightly basis
00:46in the playoffs, no less,
00:48I would say sign me up for that team.
00:49But when you have a terrible defense
00:51that also allows three or four goals,
00:53that team's never going to get anywhere.
00:57Well, what's the other game that we should be interested in here tonight
01:02on the NHL?
01:03We got some closeout opportunities.
01:05I think the Minnesota-Dallas one is going to be wild again.
01:08I mean, what are we thinking?
01:10I think tonight, based on the way the series have gone,
01:14I almost want to look to some alt lines
01:17because I would rather have six and a half.
01:18I'd rather play six and a half unders at minus 150
01:21than live with the six.
01:22Or if you can get a flat six out there,
01:23I think that's fine as well.
01:25But it's tough to take a low-scoring approach mentality
01:29when it comes to Buffalo-Boston
01:31because Buffalo, they've been pouring goals left and right,
01:34and I think they want to make a statement.
01:36It's not like they're going to try and eke away
01:37a 1-0, 2-1 win.
01:39If they can run up the score and get their first series win
01:42after, you know, missing the playoffs the last 15 years,
01:45I think they're going to run it up
01:46and try and win this game 5-2.
01:48So that's the game I'd be wary on.
01:50But star is wild.
01:51Give me an alt under at 6.5
01:52if you can find it around minus 150.
01:55Yeah, it should be fun to watch a playoff time.
01:56I've got NBA action, NHL action, Major League Baseball.
01:59Just had the draft done.
02:00The NFL, it'll be here before you know it here, Tom.
02:02But the Stanley Cup playoffs, for you,
02:04is it still the Avalanche?
02:05They're moving on into round number two.
02:06I always like the way the Hurricanes play.
02:08Tampa Bay Lightning Sabres are in there.
02:10Who's that Stanley Cup champion right now?
02:12Not even through round number one yet.
02:14I think we're setting up for Avs and Canes.
02:17The matchup that people wanted to see,
02:19you know, for over the past few years,
02:20just two extremely high-level teams.
02:22They both look amazing right now.
02:24They're both getting rest right now
02:25after taking things quickly in the first round.
02:28I think that's who we end up seeing.
