00:00This franchise simply cannot play defense.
00:04They can't get quality goaltending.
00:06They can score.
00:07You score five goals in the NHL and you have Connor McDavid.
00:11You should win.
00:13Okay.
00:13Vancouver is a bad hockey team.
00:15They blew a three-goal lead in the third period.
00:18That was 2-2 entering the third.
00:20They scored three goals.
00:21Then the Oilers rallied.
00:23They scored three goals.
00:24And then they give up the game winner in overtime and lose the game 6-5.
00:30That's just the same old, same old.
00:32That's rinse and repeat when it comes to the Edmonton Oilers.
00:36And this refrain about will Connor McDavid win a Stanley Cup is starting to get very loud.
00:43There's a lot of questions about this guy being an all-time great.
00:47And is he Dan Marino?
00:49Is he going to be a Hall of Famer?
00:51Is he going to set every record?
00:52Is he going to do all these amazing things and never touch Lord Stanley's Cup?
00:58And he chose to resign.
01:00He chose to stay.
01:03And defensively, this team can't stop anybody.
01:05And it looks like no matter who's the coach, no matter who's the goaltender, it doesn't matter.
01:10It's the same old, same old when it comes to the Oilers.
01:13Bad loss last night.
01:14That's a bad start.
01:16That's not how you want to start the regular season to have a loss like that to a team that's
01:21not very good in the Vancouver Canucks.
01:23The Boston Bruins scored three goals in like 30 seconds to win that game in the third period against the
01:29Rangers last night.
01:30Three to nothing.
01:31That was an impressive W.
01:33Montreal gets off on the right foot by beating Toronto.
01:36Toronto plays tonight for a back-to-back.
01:39I think it's going to be really interesting to see how Maple Leaf fans...
01:44I mean, this is interesting.
01:47Bobrovsky being in Toronto is one of those stories that was like, wait, what?
01:53Bobrovsky's with the Toronto Maple Leafs?
01:55But they brought them in because they think they've got a roster with Austin Matthews and company that this team
02:00can win.
02:01They just need goaltending.
02:02And so they bring in one of the best in recent time goaltenders from Florida.
02:06And let's see what happens with Toronto.
02:08Let's see what they look like.
02:09But opening night, Montreal, three to two, they get the W there.
02:13And tonight, we get Colorado opening up against the L.A. Kings.
02:18Colorado last year was unbelievable at home before they finally got bounced in the playoffs.
02:24I would say that Colorado on the money line tonight is a pretty good look.
02:27If you're looking for something to jump in with tonight for hockey, I don't hate that play at all to
02:32jump in with the Avalanche tonight.
02:36But it's good to have hockey back.
02:38As I talked about yesterday, I'm not going to bet hockey right now.
02:42I want to watch.
02:43I would have gone 2-0.
02:44I would have taken the I said bet the under for Florida and Carolina.
02:48That was a 1-0 victory for Florida last night in overtime.
02:52I said take the over in the Vegas Golden Knights game.
02:56That turned into a 5-2 win for the Vegas Golden Knights and their home opener last night and against
03:02Chicago.
03:03But I could have bet it, but I didn't.
03:05So I would have gone 2-0 tonight.
03:06I would say bet the money line on Colorado, but that's heavy juice.
03:10I want to watch the NHL for a little while.
03:12I want to let's see what these teams look like.
03:16Let's see some trend data.
03:17Let's see how these guys are going to perform here because last year was last year and this year doesn't
03:22mean anything from last year.
03:23And there's new players.
03:24There's new coaches.
03:26I just want to watch hockey for a couple of weeks before I start committing dollars to it.
03:30But I would have opened up 2-0 last night.
03:32Again, I think Colorado wins tonight at home against the LA Kings.
03:36So maybe I open up 3-0 in hockey and I'll kick myself for not betting it.
03:40But I think it's a more prudent way of approaching it given that there's baseball and college football and NFL
03:47football going on right now.
03:49There's plenty of time to bet hockey.
03:50So let's just kind of sit back, wait, and watch and see how it all plays out.
03:54But if I was going to bet tonight, I would take Colorado to come in and get a W.
03:59I'll see you.
