00:01into the eliminator we go tonight or could we stave off elimination and get even more hockey
00:06as those vegas golden knights wait to see who's going to win the eastern conference and face them
00:11in the stanley cup final tonight 8 p.m down in a rally north carolina it's going to be montreal
00:17it's going to be carolina and joe usually at this stage of the game it's like these are two
00:21really good hockey clubs here maybe a heavy favorites minus 150 or minus 160 tonight the
00:27hurricanes favored joe across the board minus 250s minus 240s minus 260s in the marketplace in a total
00:35of five and a half carolina has lost one time in the playoffs that was game one of the series
00:40since
00:41then it's been all carolina hurricanes do we see an extended series or do the lights get turned out
00:47on the montreal canadians tonight and all those canadians with those stanley cup hopes poof gone
00:53one more year i it's kind of crazy uh donnie but i mean here we go right i mean carolina's
00:59got an
00:59opportunity one win away from making their first trip to the cup final since winning it all in 2006
01:05they lost don't forget the opening game of this series 6-2 and then of course the canes became the
01:12canes and they rattled off three consecutive wins and listen if you're montreal if there's one thing that
01:18you've learned here is chasing the game is never a good idea when playing carolina uh trying to make
01:25up a multi-goal deficit not a good idea here with carolina you need to play from in front now
01:31the only
01:31saving grace i will say is that montreal has a been here before donnie in the playoffs and b for
01:38whatever
01:39reason they are a much better road team than they are a home team i i would not be shocked
01:46if montreal
01:47wins this game only to go back home donnie and end up losing it in six years so there's no
01:54value in
01:54backing the canes it's easiest choice and the market is telling you that i i would not look at over
02:00five
02:01and a half here but i can tell you i think there's some value in maybe the puck line or
02:06montreal here
02:07tonight we talk about a game number seven in the nba joe that's going to take place saturday night
02:12we got big business tonight in carolina game number five closeout situation it's the montreal
02:18canadians and the carolina hurricanes carolina's lost one game in the postseason so far and that was
02:24game one which was an absolute stunner and an easy victory for the canadians since then it's been
02:30all carolina and tonight no surprise the heavy favorite according to the calcio marketplace is the
02:36carolina hurricanes 69 chance to win this game joe a yes contract listed at 70 cents so a hundred
02:44dollar investment if you feel carolina closes the door tonight that pays back 143 listen there are a lot
02:53of trends uh that you need to take note of in this game and that we've seen here in the
02:59nhl playoffs
03:00first of all montreal they went seven for seven against buffalo with a first period over one and a
03:06half goals and so far there are four for four in this series over one and a half goals in
03:13the first
03:14period donnie and what do we always say if it ain't broke let's not fix it and by the way
03:19they're not
03:20even doing the heavy lifting it's all carolina carolina has scored i believe a goal in the first 10
03:27minutes of just about every game that they have faced uh montreal here so in addition to out shooting
03:33them i'll take out shooting i'll take saves anything and everything that involves carolina scoring first
03:41uh and then of course donnie out shooting the canadians i think are great markets to dive into
03:48how about this market joe whether those announcers going to mention during the game itself and as we
03:53know there will probably be breakaways there will be unbelievable saves so if you say what a save joe
04:01that contract to the s is 52 cents a hundred dollar investment pays back 193 there's a breakaway oh
04:07what is it bang get paid right away on that
04:16we're having some fun here this morning on prediction markets edge right here on the early
04:20line down here right side joe reniero let's bring in our good friend tom vecchio a lot of topics to
04:24go
04:24over a lot of fun to be had big weekend tom ahead for us here it certainly is a big
04:30weekend lot going
04:31on we got uh you know a potential closeout game for the nhl tonight we have another you know game
04:37seven
04:37for the nba coming up shortly i'm ready to roll let's have some fun tonight because a monster favorite
04:43on the ice tonight it's carolina in carolina taking on the montreal canadian so i'm going to ask you this
04:49question tom it's probably a foregoing conclusion carolina is probably going to win this series if not
04:54just wrapping it up tonight and what that means for the stanley cup final let's say carolina does win
04:59that game tonight which means they were almost one time so far in the stanley cup playoffs i'm a flyers
05:04fan
05:04i saw it up close and personal that team is good at every level head coach goaltending special teams
05:11defensemen and forwards all working together so if you look at the calci marketplace the carolina
05:16hurricanes a 57 chance to win the stanley cup vegas who's surprised by sweeping the colorado avalanche
05:23they're at 42 and then there's the canadians hanging on at two percent so tom who is the best team
05:28in
05:29hockey who is going to lift the cup you know ultimately i think the canes are the best team
05:35but when we're looking at this i think vegas would be the play i i have all the confidence that
05:39either
05:40vegas or the canes could win and especially with the just the way the canes play as i said before
05:45they
05:45play an absolutely suffocating style of defense specifically in the playoffs we've seen it throughout
05:50the series where the canadians are ending games with fewer than 20 shots on goal which is unbelievable
05:55but the way vegas is playing right now and where we are looking at the marketplace it has to be
06:00a
06:00play on vegas i still think the canes can win but vegas i like where they're sitting yeah a lot
06:07of
06:07experience there it should be a a great series one way or the other and i think it's safe to
06:12say listen
06:13even if and montreal's been great at home uh on the road these they can't win at home but even
06:19if they
06:19manage to scrape out a win here you know it's it's over if they have to go back home at
06:24that point
06:25uh so if you got caroline you got vegas i think frederick anderson who just apparently only faces 12
06:32shots a game is your con smith leader in the uh in the market and i get it but i
06:39i don't know do we
06:40vegas feels like they're gonna pepper him with a lot more shots than what montreal is
06:46right and you know if we're we're trying to you know transition this from like okay we're just
06:50expecting to be the canes versus vegas i would be looking at mitch marner for the con smite either
06:54him or carter are because you know like to your point if freddie anderson is just not seeing a
06:59whole lot of volume he looks good but it's like hey he only has to stop 15 shots a game
07:04because he
07:04only sees 16 or 17 like he looks good but it's really not the highest level of competition that he's
07:09been facing in terms of volume of shots so when we see the vegas being able to pour in 30
07:14shots a game
07:15it's being led by mitch marner and jack eichel has been phenomenal amazing two-way player and mitch
07:19marner him having some type of redemption arc because he was never able to get it done with
07:24the leafs and it clearly wasn't his problem i would like to see mitch marner win uh the con smite
