  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites, presented by Draft Kings. The crown
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: is yours. We are an Action Network podcast. I'm Brandon Kravitz,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: back at it with the crew, the first Lady of
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the Pod. Kendra Middleton, the Prime Minister of Dgen Nation,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the new Daddy Stucky. Another week is coming gone without football.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Stucky's knee deep in not just parenting but college basketball,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Kendra's knee deep in international hockey. And I am enjoying
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the quiet solitude of the NBA All Star Break. Kendra,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: let's kick it off with your question of the week.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I want to know what's on your mind. A happy
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: lunar new year to you. It's the year of the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: fire Horse. I have done my research because I just
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: kind of knew that we were going to head in
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: this direction.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I told you guys before we hopped on here that
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I washed my hair yesterday, I took my trash out,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I'm in a newish outfit.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: I did my laundry.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: I'm prepped to go for the Year of the fire Horse,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: even though it's supposed to be a real bad year
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: for me.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not buying into it.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna pretend I'm having a good year, so
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I've heard that I'm.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Not supposed to shower during the first day of the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: new year.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Is that accurate?
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like you don't have to worry about not
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: washing your hair. But I had to wash my hair
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: yesterday so I could get that out of the way.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Got it. Okay, we'll stay unbathed for the rest of
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: the afternoon.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, amazing. I'm so sorry for your wife.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: What but you've been acting.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Anyways, my question are going to have an Olympics guest
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: in a little bit. But if you've been following the
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Olympics at all, I'm sure that you've seen that these
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: skiers have been injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid because
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: it helps fill out their suit.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: And gives them, I did rese gives them.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: A minimum extra five kilometers per jump. So if you
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: two could inject your penis with hyaluronic acid and it
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: would boost your bets five percent every time? Would you
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: inject your penis five percent every single Yeah, Like it's
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: like a dk like a boost.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Like a five percent boost on every single bet. I
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: think I would do that. I'm not sure what the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: what the later impacts of this injection would be but
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a five percent. A five percent boost would put us
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in a very repeatable professional level, and uh.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the crown is yours would have a whole new
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: meeting stuck.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: You would you inject your penis?
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Sure?
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: Anything for the return.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: It's for the love of the game, Kenja. You know
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: you do what you gotta do.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: So if I understand this story correctly, the injection takes
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: place to enhance the size of the package so that
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: you didn't get fitted for a looser suit because of
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the aerodynamics of it.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure I fully understand the purpose.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Of this, okay.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: So it basically would be like you patting like your
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: crotch so that you get better like wind while you're jumping,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: so you have that like extra like flap space in
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: your crotch. If you're a guy, like your suit's not
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: as tight, so it makes you more aero dynamic.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: So you know, like when you're watching like.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: A speed skating and all that stuff, their suits are
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: super tight. If your extra skin's just like like the
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: skin of the suits just flapping around, it's gonna slow
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: you down.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: So it makes it tighter, so you're more aero dynamic.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Couldn't you just get a smaller suit rather than injecting.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I think that they're team issued, so yeah, I think
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: that you'd have to request smaller.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Or you could just I don't know, could Why can't.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Well, I guess you can't really stuck stick a sock
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: in there because it would still just have like wind.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta, you gotta inject it.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I did see that the doping organization is looking into this,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: So this will probably be the first and last Olympics
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: with penis injected, but it'll just be something else next time.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: We also ran out of ten thousand condoms in three
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: days in the Olympic village.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're getting wild over there, saw that story.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I think any any sort of routine injection probably going
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: to be outlawed, and I think there should be a
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: thirty for thirty twenty years from now.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: What happened to the penises?
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Do you guys think?
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, say, I was gonna say, do you guys think
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: that adderall should be considered a ped It is, absolutely,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: you think, even though it's like a prescription.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: If it enhances your performance, which I would think adderall
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: would do, I would I would consider that a banned
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: substance as it should be.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Can you stuck?
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: What we're gonna say if you have four so for
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: the next winner Olympics. If you're all like, this is
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: a common question, but if your only goal was to
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: win a mat what sport would you try to do
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: it in? And you can't And we'll exclude curling, although
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: I've heard it's really hard to like balance. I've always
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: wanted to try curling. I didn't like watching curling on
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: small doses. It gets kind of boring.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: But do you guys see the fight in the curling
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: game the other day in Canada.
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: I didn't know there was like cheating like that, like
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: you can.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they were cussing each other out.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: There's actually, oh I was gonna say.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: There's a guy for Team USA actually who did research
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: when he turned twenty six about what Winter Olympic sport
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: was the easiest for someone who's older to take up,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: and the internet told him skeleton. So he started practicing
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: and now he's on Team USA for skeleton as like
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: he's like almost thirty, I think, But he started practicing
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: when he was twenty six because he looked up what
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: would be the easiest to learn at an older age,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: So I would say probably because of that, maybe skeleton
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: or like one of the like shooting things.
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: Shoot, yeah, skeleton pro. I mean that looks scary, but
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: maybe Bob sledding.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: I'm scared. I feel like it might not be that bad.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Bob sledding would definitely be the answer. Uh if.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I mean there's no ice in Jamaica, and if they
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: can figure out how to do it, then I think
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: we could get it done and.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: It would be great there.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I think there's three people per Bob sled on the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: team race, so we could actually we could actually do
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: this as a podcast.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: He could be a Bob sled team.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: We could be enter as our own country, be the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: favorites Bob sled team.
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean tender. You could do skeleton. I mean
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: we couldn't, you know. I think you have to be
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: like a certain side, right, Like that's that's a key
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: to it. So it's kind of like a jockey, like you.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Can't think you go faster if you're bigger.
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: No, I think you want to be because I feel like.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: That would like if you're like just muscle, you probably
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: because you have to be so muscular to do that stuff,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: because think about how your legs are hanging off the
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: back of the sled like I do that at pilates
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: every day for like ad workouts, and it makes me
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: want to die.
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, you're like all muscle, so that's another reason
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: why I wouldn't be doing it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: What's your answer, stuck here? You in on the bolops
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: led or do you have a different one?
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'd probably go bob sled but yeah, maybe the
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: double loge is also crazy. I don't know how that started.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: How do you decide who's on top?
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: I don't know that's I can make a joke there,
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: but that's why they ran out of condoms.
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: So yeah, i'd probably go. I'd probably go bob sledding.
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: I've never been a big winter I'm not a big
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: winter sport guy, so I have zero experience in winter sports.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: It really is amazing how they've thought of every single
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: possible way to slide down ice. When you watch the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Winter Olympics, that's the biggest takeaway for me is I
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: don't think there's anything left. I think that we have
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: thought of all of the ideas of how you can
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: race down ice throughout the Winter Olympics.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no new content.
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: Are watching me. Why do you like watch obsessively or just.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: It's background TV for me?
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've watched everything. I'm so locked in. I love it.
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: What is your favorite three sports to watch in the
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: Winter Olympics.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Snowboarding?
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I like the ice skating, duos, the.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Free skate, and then and then I obviously like the hockey, hockey.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: I love hockey, snowboarding, ball.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: And the duos.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: In the ice skating, there's been a lot of really
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: crazy falls. I think the biggest one is probably Ilia
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: malanin are like crazy figure skater who's super young. He
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: fell twice in an event he was expected to win Golden.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: They call him like the.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Quad God because he's like the first guy to ever
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: be able to hit like like a quad axle or something.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: But he fell twice and was supposed to win us
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Golden came in eve.
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's been there's been a few falls.
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: It is kind of crazy that there's the This is
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: kind in Summer Olympics too. But the distribution of metals,
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: I feel like it should be like weighted or something,
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: because like, say you're really good at hot what the
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: most you can get is like two medals, two gold medals,
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: and you know they you have sports like I mean,
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: take a look at the Summer Olympics, like swimming. How
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: many gold medals can you get for swimming? There's like
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: a lot so many compared to like if you're really
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: good to basketball, it's just gonna be one or two.
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: So but it's kind of the same way in the
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: Winter Olympics as well. But we'll we'll talk with Josh
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: later about the I'm hoping we get US Canada two times.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: We are getting the US Canada Women's game gold game
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: on Thursday, yep.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: So we do have Josh Englis from Covers joining us
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: momentarily to talk about Olympic hockey and things that we
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: can still bet on in the Winter Olympics.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: But before we get to that, I would like to.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Shoe horn in a quick football topic because there's some
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: spring cleaning going on down in my area. The Miami
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Dolphins clean the out on President's Day, probably just the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: tip of the iceberg because they're most likely going to
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: move off of TUA.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: They saved fifty six million dollars on the cap.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill gone, Bradley Chubb gone, James Daniels, Nick Westbrook,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Akeene Halfley and John Eric Sullivan the new GM. These
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: guys are not messing around. I am glad to see it.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I think this team needed an enema, and I'm glad
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to see that they are moving on. I feel optimistic
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: about the future. Stuck you, what do you make of
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins moves and the removal of Tyreek Hill.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I've been saying it for I said
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: it all year.
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: They need to blow it all up, and it'll blow
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: everything up and start over. Everything was bad, the contracts,
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: the roster construction in particular was really really poor.
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: The draft. The draft was not kind to them.
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: And there was problems all across the roster, Like anywhere
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: you want to point to, there were issues. So this
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: was overdue and needed, and I think it was it
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: was the right move. Is the team that just needed
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: to scrub everything clean and start rebuilding from scratch. Now
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: I don't necessarily know like it's halfway the right coach
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: for that.
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: We'll find out, but I wouldn't have went that direction.
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: But they this is what they needed. It's like, just
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: get rid of contracts, start over, and start building this
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: roster from the inside out.
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: And uh so yeah, I agree with what they're doing.
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: They weren't going to be competitive that they weren't like
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: going to compete for a division title or you know,
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: a super Bowl this year.
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: So it makes a ton of sense.
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: And the next step is to, you know, number one, rebuild.
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: Number two, you got to find and who your long
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: term quarterback is, who your franchise quarterback is going to.
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: Be, and maybe per you, it's going to be yours.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: I know you love yours bread, but.
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: Whether it's yours or someone else, that's that's got to
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: be the number one goal is to find because nothing
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: else matters, right Like you, you do need to rebuild
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: at times, but you know, in the NFL you need
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: a franchise quarterback. So we'll see how they go about
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: attacking that position over the next few years.
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: But this was way way overdue.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: There's a couple of options there too. They can go
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: to the Cousins are out or they could just full
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: all out tanky. Maybe Quinn yours helps them do that.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: But Kendro, what would you do if you're the Dolphins?
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: That was gonna just be my thing.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: They owe to us so much money that, like I've
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: kind of been on the side that they would do
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: the Kirk Cousins situation in Atlanta with him for this
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: upcoming season just because of the money. I don't think
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: they're going to get any return, and they're going to
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: need somebody. They're gonna need a body, Like you can't
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: just send quin Ewers out there and hope for the
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: best and not really have anybody behind him either. Like
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: and if you watch back, like sort of some of
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the off camera game stuff, like Tua was doing a
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: really good job of helping Quinniers on the sidelines, you know,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: learning from his mistakes with the iPad, encouraging him, like
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: those types of little things that you don't just see
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: if you're watching the game. But it's like, I think
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: they both need a change of scenery. He needs to
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: get out of there, like they don't. Clearly he's not
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: their option anymore. I don't Thinkquinny wars is an answer.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: I don't think that they just tank with him for
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: a year. But once again, it goes back to them
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: needing a body behind him type of thing. You can't
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: have a kid who started only three or four games
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: and then go out there and get a rookie to
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: go behind him. I just don't know what their answers
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: are here other than continuing kind of the Kirk Cousins
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Michael Pennock situation in Atlanta, but the Miami version.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: You'll be weird if it worked out that way, because
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins looked like the better option for the foul
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: wlkins as the year was going along, And what if
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: that happened to Miami where they held on to him,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: if he's going to be a team guy and let
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: him be the backup, and then it actually turns out
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: that hurt better. Yeah, they have a couple of different
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: directions they could go. It's not exactly the best draft
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: class this year, so I don't think they're going to
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: take a quarterback. But next year it's supposed to be
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: a lot better. If you're an arch Manning believer, if
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: you're a Leonora Seller's believer, I really like him. But
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Last
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: thing before we get to our guests. Huge college basketball
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: game tonight, Purdue in Michigan in the Big Ten. Michigan's
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: a road favorite here, Stuckey, I want to bet this game,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: so I'm getting the itch here.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: So give us a give us a side another winner.
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: I like predue catching the points at home. I you know,
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: they can keep they can keep this to a half
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: court game, Compete on the defensive glass, keep Michigan out
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: of transition, a couple of things that you need to
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: do against Michigan. And I really thought that some of
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: Purdue's role players finally stepped up over the weekend, made
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: some shots. That's who That's what they need against Iowa.
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: So you know, maybe they can continue that momentum over
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: in macki Arena Michigan. Also, they get Jacks of Landenborg.
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: They're they're one of their star players. And Michigan is very,
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: very good. Was chirping out there, did you see this
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: saying that they're gonna beat produced ass? So that makes
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: this a little bit more interesting. I think this game
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: is on Peacock, by the way, which is I mean,
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: I'll keep watching, but it's kind of dumb. So yeah,
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: there's there's some off the court stuff too that makes
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: this game a little more.
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: Interesting.
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: And you know, Michigan maybe a little peek ahead to
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: Duke Duke on Michigan Duke on Saturday, that's a game
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: in Washington, d C.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Does Michigan really like the best team in the country
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: right now. I still think it's ply Arizona, but a
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: lot of people are pushing for Michigan.
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah they're I mean, they're right there.
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: There's Michigan, Duke, Arizona, Houston like there, there's the top
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: is very It's not like I don't think there's a
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: huge difference between them, but Michigan. Michigan is making their shots,
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: like their threes. They're not a great three point shooting team,
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: but when they're making their threes, they are an absolute juggernaut.
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: They have elite size, and I mean size for days inside.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: So Purdue has size too that can match them. Though.
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: I think it'll be a really good game. I took
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: the points.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: I think it'll be close, all right, Michigan being a
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: basketball school.
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: Who would have thought, Yeah, in Indiana is a football school.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Football school, college college athletics is ass backwards right now.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. Let's take Purdue. We're going boiler Makers tonight.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: We're about to die.
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: Bio goes down planning against you, mass.

  Speaker 1: Josh Ingles from Covers Covers the World of Hockey over
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: at covers dot com. Did I say Covers enough times.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: By the way, Olympic hockey has been crazy intense. Still
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: a couple of rounds to go as well, so let's
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: dive into it see where the money is to be made.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: Josh, thanks for hopping on, appreciate.
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: It and not a problem. Thanks for having me so.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Olympic hockey is sort of back in a big way
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: for the first time in a while. First time NHL
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: guys are playing in the Olympics in the last ten years.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: What changed and how much did four nations have to
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: do with this? Oh?
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: Well, what's changed?
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: I wouldn't be able to put my foot on to
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: say why the NHLPA and the NHL said yep, now's
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: a good time to do it.
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: Obviously the four nations.
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: What we saw between Canada and US not so much
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: failing Sweden, but what that drew out, like Gary Bettman
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: just kind of got lucky in terms of what that
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: turned into. And the funny thing is about what we're
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: seeing in the Olympics, like we just went through like
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: six days of round robin play that really didn't tell
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: us too much else different than what we thought going
• 19:13
  Speaker 8: into the tournament. Italy and France are out, Canada, US
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: number one and two and then everybody else in that
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: three to ten range. So today we're starting to see
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: where real hockey comes into and that's in the quarterfinal
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: round where it's losing, go home, and it's no surprise
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: that France and Italy are out. But I mean it's
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: set up. It's set up for Hockey World to get Canada.
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: You at eight ten in the morning on the Sunday.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Do you think that the NHL is going to continue
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: to let players participate after what we saw happened to
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Kevin Fiala the other night. Obviously Charlie McAvoy one of
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: the guys who's playing pretty injured with that jaw as well.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Do you think that what happened to him the other
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: night is going to kind of shift this conversation or
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: do you think that the NHL players are here to stay.
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: It's gonna stay.
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: I think it's gonna stay, But I think I don't
• 19:58
  Speaker 8: know how much in terms of how the NHLPA and
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: their talk within the NHL, how much push they actually
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: have if this works well well for everybody, and all
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: we get out of it is maybe Kevin Fialla broken leg.
• 20:13
  Speaker 8: That sounds awful to say, but maybe that's the best event.
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: Maybe they get rid of the round robin that I
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: said maybe doesn't mean as much. Six games is a
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: lot where you only saw the Four Nations format was
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: play everybody once and then boom straight to a final.
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: That might be something more enticing. But I don't think
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: you can push the Olympic off their format, which they've
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: had for a lot longer in terms of what the
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: NHL gets to dictate.
• 20:35
  Speaker 9: But we'll see the round robin didn't mean much.
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: And once we get this engagement, I mean we'll get
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: Canada the US girls women sorry on Thursday. That could
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: really build the momentum into the weekend. Thursday, the men
• 20:48
  Speaker 8: are off, and then you get the Friday, then you
• 20:50
  Speaker 8: get the Saturday, then you get the Sunday.
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: If we get anything near that we got during the Four.
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: Nations, I mean that changed the perception on hockey, certainly
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: south of the border in terms of the excitement that
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: people outside of Canada got. And if you can build
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: that up and you get more of what we got
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: from Kachucks and the idea of these aren't just the
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: nicest guys in the world, and what type of sport
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: this is and it's going to be next to impossible
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: to get rid of NHL players at the Olympics.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: As a state of Florida.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Guy, always strange when I hear south of the border
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: and you're talking about the northern portions of the United States,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: but different regions, right, I'm noticing.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: That punk lines are much wider like all game.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's crazy that much more than your typical
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: NHL slate. Is is there that big? I mean, I
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: guess the answer is yes. But how big is the
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: gap between some of these countries.
• 21:44
  Speaker 8: The Canada the Canada France game was uh so. One
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: thing you'll see, like DK has been fantastic in terms
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: of giving US markets, giving US team totals. You've seen
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: today that they didn't drop team totals early. They don't
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: have two way markets for shots. There's different pricing across everywhere.
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: The one thing that we'll see going forward with those
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: puck lines is they'll tighten up. But Canada France should
• 22:11
  Speaker 8: have been like eight and a half nine, Like that
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: was gonna be a double digit game, especially when teams
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: had to run up the gold differential for their seeding.
• 22:20
  Speaker 8: And now we're seeing the opposite happen where we got
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: all the quarterfinal games.
• 22:25
  Speaker 9: The qualification quarterfinal games today open at six and.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: A half and like plus.
• 22:29
  Speaker 8: Money the under, the Swiss won three nothing today, like
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: there's a big difference between having to run up the
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: score and improve your seating versus get up to a
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: three to nothing lead, parked the bus and shut things down,
• 22:41
  Speaker 8: like we saw Swiss versus a very inferior opponent in
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: Italy today, and I think that's what we'll see. We've
• 22:47
  Speaker 8: seen the first two odds open up for the qualification
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: games for Wednesday, and it's no surprise that the unders
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: have moved to five and a half. The punk lines
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: are at one and a half and there is a
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: I think it's a Sweden game or sorry, no, what
• 23:02
  Speaker 8: game is tomorrow? The five and a half is minus
• 23:07
  Speaker 8: one seventy to the under. That will obviously move up.
• 23:10
  Speaker 8: No one's going to betting minus one seventy to the
• 23:12
  Speaker 8: under in any spot. You have the idea with the
• 23:16
  Speaker 8: the elimination game that there will be some more empty
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: net chances, but I think that was really priced into
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: Tuesday's line. They're over evaluating it or over assuming it
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: today and I think there's some value on the overs
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: heading into Wednesday's elimination games.
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: Well, speaking of totals, one of my favorite angles historically
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: in the NHL is almost blindly betting game seven unders,
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: especially you know if we get one in the Stanley
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: Cup finals. But just historically those have done very well.
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: The thesis is right, there's not as many penalties called,
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: teams play a little tighter, and then you get lower
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: scoring games. Historically, if you look back at the women's
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: gold medal games, I mean you're looking at three one three,
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: two four one two nothing, three two three to two
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: tho never more than five goals.
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: Men's they've had a couple that are a little higher scoring,
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: but well we're looking at the past five. I mean
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: you got two to one, four to three and overtime
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: three zero three two three two five two one nothing
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: three two three one. Any reason not to look at
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: the gold medal unders in both or the women's do it.
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: Do it the exact same way, like you can get
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: like what we saw Canada US early scoring one to
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: one first period, both teams score second period, and then
• 24:31
  Speaker 8: third period is a spot where you think things will
• 24:34
  Speaker 8: get loose, but that's where the tightest thing goes down.
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: It's a good point that no official wants to be
• 24:38
  Speaker 8: responsible for looking at that meme and pointing in the
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: mirror and saying, let's make this about ourselves. Hockey doesn't
• 24:44
  Speaker 8: have that problem, so early scoring is more predictive I
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: think in those games as opposed to late scoring. So
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: ties under five and a half, the reverse pod lines
• 24:54
  Speaker 8: plus one and a half with the under, there's good
• 24:56
  Speaker 8: ways to look at that. It's a good point to
• 24:58
  Speaker 8: say that just because they're just different games. But there
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: will be people out there saying it's an elimination game
• 25:04
  Speaker 8: and you will get empty net chances. But when things
• 25:06
  Speaker 8: are one goal and they're that tight between two very
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: good teams, that edge kind of gets you raised a bit.
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: And then looking on the men's side right now, Canada
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: is the favorite to win goal, followed by the US.
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: Then you have, you know, a couple of longer shots
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: I think, led by Finland and Sweden. Is there any
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: value in the futures market right now on the men's
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: side or do you think it's priced pretty fairly?
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: I thought maybe, I think your choice, your chances of
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: hitting something like that would be more like maybe winning
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: a bronze medal game. I think one and two are
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: locked up, But I think the values on that number
• 25:40
  Speaker 8: three spot, I think Denmark can beat check you today.
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: I think tomorrow when Slovakia plays, there's a really weird spot.
• 25:47
  Speaker 8: Like Slovakia and the US have been off since Saturday.
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: Like I don't know if like we can call that
• 25:52
  Speaker 8: arrest advantage, but we really don't have any data to
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: back up and say, yeah, okay, you've been off for
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: that long. This team's playing back to back, is that
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: really arrest advantage? The only thing I was talking about
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: on my show today that maybe someone like the Swiss,
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: who have like a thirty eight year thirty eight year
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: old goalie in Leonardo Ginomi, that that's more a physical
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: wear and tear on someone that age.
• 26:15
  Speaker 9: But I don't know. I think maybe they're spending a
• 26:17
  Speaker 9: lot more time practicing. Maybe that helps.
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: But I don't think the three days, which I think
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: is already priced in, is as big as advantage going
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: into it.
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: But yeah, we do get us Canada will could do
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: you envision yourself having a side or total in that
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: uh right away?
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: Canada minus like one thirty five total five and a
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: half minus one thirty to.
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: The under Somewhere along that line.
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: I think a really good thing because that total is
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: going to be so low, Like back to those both
• 26:45
  Speaker 8: teams to score two goals somewhere in that that's gonna
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: be good plus money, but it's going to work against
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: that low total, and I think that's I think you
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: can find some value certainly in that. Another two to
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: two game going to overtime. I think we've only seen
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: one overtime so far in the Olympics. Canada US will
• 26:59
  Speaker 8: be a one goal game, maybe decided by an empty net.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: If it's two or more, I want to talk about goaltending.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: I have a future for both US teams to bring
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: home the gold. It's been swayed a lots of discourse
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: on the internet about his last outing. Do you think
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: in the bigger moments coming up, it's going to continue
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: to be a Swede or do you think we're gonna
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: get Connor Hallibuck?
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah, No, it's it's it's it's Hellibuck Sway.
• 27:22
  Speaker 8: Swede's Sweyde's day was done after that goal from center ice, unfortunately,
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: And I think there's a good spot to look if
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: you really like goldtending and you're looking for maybe some
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: value in betting outside of Canada. Connor Hellibucket MVP at
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: twenty to one kind of stands out because the US
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: is still rolling three lines. They'll all cannibalize each other's points.
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: We're seeing scoring from the Matthews line obviously, the ka
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: Chuck's line with Michael. They're all pulling their own weight,
• 27:50
  Speaker 8: and the Boldie line as well. But if they run
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: the table, they go tomorrow and Connor hellibuckets all those
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: starts like you probably will. There's a day off as
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: well on Thursday, and there's another day off between the
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: semi and the final. If he goes for a run,
• 28:03
  Speaker 8: if he blanks Canada like two nothing, or like shuts
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: down a great Canadian team like that's that's his. So
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: I think if you are an American, you're looking to
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: get a little back in this, just to get some fun,
• 28:15
  Speaker 8: more into something and get on that buzz is.
• 28:17
  Speaker 9: I mean, let's talk about betting ROI for entertainment. That's
• 28:21
  Speaker 9: a lot of it.
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: For what people do, I mean not everybody out here
• 28:23
  Speaker 8: as a professional gambler. If you're an American you want
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: to back something, Connor Hellibuck MVP at that price is
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: probably the best thing you can run.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: So if it comes down to USA Canada, just because
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: this is a future for both of these teams to win,
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: I'm in the camp that Jordan Bennington sucks. That's the
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: weakness of that team. And I also kind of look
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: at it from the angle of the Four Nations tournament.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Don't think Canada can win on the big stage twice.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on the value of I think
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: plus two seventy five is what I got it at
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: for USA Men's and women's to win the gold.
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah, like I said, minus one thirty five would probably
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: be my price Canada versus USA.
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: So just a slight plus my dog for the.
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: US on that side, and that will be Bennington versus Hellibuck.
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: Bennington sucks, but it's a hell of a case study
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: in terms of what a coach's confidence can do for you,
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: in terms of how you can pull something off. Bennington
• 29:14
  Speaker 8: statistically is it's been out there the worst goaltender in
• 29:17
  Speaker 8: all of hockey. But then you look at someone like
• 29:19
  Speaker 8: who's won a lot of games, Like when the sample
• 29:21
  Speaker 8: size is that small, like everything is amplified.
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: Bennington has been there.
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: Bennington could do it, and someone like Swayman I don't
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: mean to keep picking on Boston guys.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: But like, oh, you're not hurting my feelings. I didn't
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: think it was going to be a Sway day, but
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: there's been a lot of talk online.
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: Lucas dash Old had a rough game, Like there's goalies
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: who when you just have a small look at things.
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: I mean, Guph Stison, he's not starting and nor should he.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Jay gotten your apologist. You're not hurting my feeling.
• 29:50
  Speaker 9: That's that's what I mean.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: That's a bad year.
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: Anybody I think can step up, and we've seen with
• 29:55
  Speaker 8: the goaltending from the Italians in the French like Clara
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: what the the only guys that was drafted on that team.
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: He's right now leading all of the tournament. I think
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: he had sixty shots one game. Like, goaltending is the
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: most fickle thing in terms of what you can get
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: in one outing. And yes, once you get some confidence,
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: that can change everything. So Bennington isn't Bennington of the
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: NHL and Canadians were absolutely terrified going into this tournament
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: with the golden and that they did have because neither him,
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: nor Thompson or Dar s Kepper were playing good hockey.
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: But John Cooper said he picked this guy about three
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: hundred and thirty days ago in terms of who his
• 30:31
  Speaker 8: starter was. He got his one Logan Thompson start done
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: on the back to back, and now it's Bennington's ride
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: for the rest to go.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: By the way, the two of them, Kendra and Josh
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: as locked in as humanly possible.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: I'm fascinated by this conversation. Go ahead, Stucky.
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: One final question I had is, I don't know if
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: you have anything here but is off the top of
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: your head, is there any angle as far as the
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: residual impact the Olympics when it comes to the NHL
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: on a team that you're potentially looking to fit or
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: that could take just anything that you could take away
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: from the Olympics that could carry over in maybe like
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: the first week of an play.
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: For sure, go look at the teams who have the
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: most players. Go look at the like the Florida team,
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: so who's already struggling just to make a playoff spot
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: and was still already priced. You know, stuff like just
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: that point where markets always appreciate it when that flip comes,
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: they're kind of slow to move it. They've been high
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: on Florida for most of the year. Yes, they're starting
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: to depreciate their value. But when all these guys like
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: Brad Marshawn has missed two games in a row, but
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: they'll give him some good run. When all of these
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: guys come back, that's going to be a tough run
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: for Paul Maurice to get his team going and do things.
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: You see the Kevin Fiala injury in LA. I never
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: even liked there, Timmy Piner and grab because I thought
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: this was a team that was maybe seventh at best
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: in the West, and now there were an offensive team
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: that's struggling, that's going to struggle even more without Kevin Fiala.
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: So in terms of that, look to teams who have
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: the most players. Look for teams who maybe I mean,
• 31:59
  Speaker 8: we already kind of use the advantage of you got
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: the snubs, you got your Olympic snubs and guys were going.
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: But don't put it past guys like Connor Badard to
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: get hot coming off this watching what guys like Maclin
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: Celebrini are doing and being like that could have been
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: somewhere that I could have been in the spot. So
• 32:16
  Speaker 8: look at guys like Tampa Bay's got a lot of
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: guys Florida's got a lot of guys and maybe the
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: Sweden guys. Like you're playing six games like with back
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: to back and maybe one day off, that's a lot
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: of run and then you've got to go across the
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: pond as well.
• 32:29
  Speaker 9: So it is a good look.
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: But teams like the Kings on the one side and
• 32:31
  Speaker 8: maybe Florida on the other side of the teams i'd
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: look to fade in. What's the last third of the
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: NHL season coming up?
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Gosh, you mentioned catering to the casuals. Let's give them
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: something that they can bet on plus money edition. Everybody
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: loves a good plus money money line. Who are the
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: plucky underdogs that we should be taking a look at
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: in the market moving forward?
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: Oh, in terms of the NHL or the In terms
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: of the tournament, the tournament, I think like Sweden is
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: nothing to excite me today, and I know that's coming
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: up in a bit. That's the three to ten game.
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: The puck lines up to like two and a half.
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: But Latvia has NHL goaltending they can steal a win
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: off a Sweden team who just doesn't look like they've
• 33:16
  Speaker 8: been playing well for their coach. Yes, they've maybe the ship.
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: But this is a team that's going into an elimination game,
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: and they weren't sure who was a net. I already
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: kind of crapped on Guphsison, who if anybody came into
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: this tournament and said, yeah, Guphsison's our guy. No one's
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: been betting the NHL because the Minnesota Wild have been
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: an absolute overwagon for the last three weeks of hockey.
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: I think like ten and one to the over in
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: their last eleven games before this trip. And it's a
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: coach who we saw right off the beginning, Philip Forsberg
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: wasn't getting minutes and with everyone's like, what's happening with Phil?
• 33:48
  Speaker 9: Why would we give you more time?
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: To Pontus Holmberg, who is running like the second line
• 33:53
  Speaker 8: like William Neelanders not a guy who really exceeds in
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: games where contact is in. And Sam Uhillan, the coach
• 33:59
  Speaker 8: has loved Elias Petterson, who we know is not a
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: show up and play kind of guy.
• 34:05
  Speaker 9: So there there's some good money on them.
• 34:07
  Speaker 8: I mean, the puck line's okay, a plus money plus
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: two and a half at plus one thirty five if
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: you can get a team total over one and a
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: half at plus money.
• 34:15
  Speaker 9: I think that's another look.
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: Nothing out of the Sweden teams has made me look
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: and say, wow, this is the team that deserves to
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: be ranked third, fourth, or even fifth in the tournament.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: My final question is going to be do you agree
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: with the Kachuks? Will Leon Drysidel forever be the bride'smaid
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: and not the bride?
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: The funny thing is about that, and they're true and
• 34:36
  Speaker 8: it's it's awesome like they're they're good for hockey because
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: they're they're hockey players, true, like as much as as
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: mouthy as we think they are, that they're good hockey players.
• 34:45
  Speaker 8: And you don't get to talk like that if you're
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: not good. Both have been fantastic in tournament and been
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: great for the USA. But the real question is if
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: Connor McDavid loses a gold medal game and gets the
• 34:57
  Speaker 8: MVP again, just like he got the Cons in a
• 35:00
  Speaker 8: losing effort versus Florida in the Stanley Cup finals, Like
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: that's that's the bridesmaid, that's that's the term.
• 35:09
  Speaker 9: I think he goes there.
• 35:10
  Speaker 8: And we've seen we've seen the NHL, we've seen the
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: IHF give out the MVP to non gold medal winners.
• 35:16
  Speaker 8: We've seen it quite often. It's not as much as
• 35:18
  Speaker 8: the same as we'll see in the NHL. But like
• 35:21
  Speaker 8: if Connor McDavid keeps getting three points a game and
• 35:23
  Speaker 8: all of a sudden he loses that gold medal game, Okay,
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: you lose, Come on out, Connor, come accept your award.
• 35:29
  Speaker 9: That might be some embarrassing TV.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: Before we touch you.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Loose, Josh, I want to give you a chance to
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: plug whatever you have going on over it covers.
• 35:38
  Speaker 9: I appreciate it. Just my show every day at ten o'clock,
• 35:41
  Speaker 9: I'm going through that.
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: This tournament is so hard because odds aren't coming out
• 35:46
  Speaker 8: till like five o'clock at night. After the game. You're
• 35:49
  Speaker 8: waiting for stuff to come out. You're waiting for everybody
• 35:51
  Speaker 8: to drop their numbers.
• 35:52
  Speaker 9: Then you got to send it in.
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: Then you got to do your work while waking up
• 35:55
  Speaker 8: at five point forty five to get some markets that
• 35:58
  Speaker 8: are just opening before the game.
• 35:59
  Speaker 9: So it's a very long tournament.
• 36:01
  Speaker 8: I'm very happy to be recorded to be covering it,
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: but I'll be happy especially after the Super Bowl run,
• 36:08
  Speaker 8: to get some time off. But yeah, ten o'clock live
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: stuff bringing some people onto talk hockey and just try
• 36:13
  Speaker 8: to find the best value in these markets because if
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: you've be can go and book to book, you know,
• 36:16
  Speaker 8: the prices are all over the map and it's a
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: really good spot to find value waiting.
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: But before we go, you got to ask you who's
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: taking on the goal?
• 36:25
  Speaker 8: Oh, it's it's Cad. I just say I'm not saying
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: that as a Canada fan. I just think what we're
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: seeing with Connor McDavid being hands above as the best player,
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: Like it's amazing to be like at this level and
• 36:36
  Speaker 8: still do it, but to like step above them, to
• 36:38
  Speaker 8: like tier one and make everybody else tier two. He's
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: the difference and he's only getting sixteen seventeen minutes a game.
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: If they load up his ice time, things could be trouble.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Josh engeles Covers dot Com. Thanks so much for the time.
