00:00Game number one tonight, Joe, in hockey down there in Carolina.
00:03How about this?
00:04The Montreal Canadiens and the Carolina Hurricanes.
00:08Monster favorite across the board.
00:10You see the graphic, minus 196, Joe.
00:12I'm seeing 200s and minus 205s now permeating the marketplace.
00:16And the total still sits at five and a half.
00:18Carolina is the heavy favorite.
00:20Montreal long season, or excuse me, long series in the past.
00:23And Carolina, it seems like they haven't played in weeks, Joe.
00:26What's the spread line tonight for this one?
00:28Well, that's mostly because they haven't played in weeks, Donnie.
00:32And, you know, here we go again.
00:34Another one of these situations where you've got a team coming off a game seven.
00:39Their second game seven of the playoffs here, Donnie.
00:42Montreal doesn't like to do anything, apparently, in five games, four games, six.
00:46Nope.
00:47They want to play seven-game series.
00:49And now here the Hurricanes have been like, okay, you guys ready?
00:53Like, what are we doing?
00:54Where are we going?
00:54Well, you're heading to Carolina now to take them on.
00:58And I got to tell you, Donnie, this is going to be another one of these situations where
01:02Montreal likes to play physical.
01:04Montreal likes to play fast.
01:07And that might work early in this game.
01:10But I just ultimately think that Carolina is going to stifle them, play Carolina kind of
01:15hockey, which is, you know what?
01:17You're not crossing center ice.
01:19Sorry.
01:20You're not going to get a ton of shots on goal.
01:21It's not going to happen.
01:23So I do think that Carolina will ultimately win.
01:26But I do think Montreal's got a shot early in this game.
01:30Dare we say another first period over in this spot here, Donnie?
