00:00USA, Canada, this will be just now they say 8 o'clock as you found out on Thursday night.
00:06That's about 8.25 by the time they actually start the game and get going.
00:11But I have this, same as our board here right now on the East Coast, minus 1.10, pick them
00:15both ways.
00:16I have a 6.5 total, plus 1.04 to the over, minus 1.28 to the under, late a goal and a
00:23half with Canada, plus 2.20, get the goal and a half, this is a pick-em game.
00:27I mean, the puck line is going to be astronomical on either side.
00:31It is.
00:32And half the books out here in Vegas this morning have 6 with overjuiced, half the books
00:37have 6.5 with the underjuiced.
00:40So I think there's a real divide as far as the total goes.
00:45You know, you can see an undergame, some people will see an overgame.
00:49The, I don't want to say it, the officials may decide this one, if they let them play,
00:57and we don't got to worry about power plays, then, alright, it's a complete pick-em game.
01:04If the officials call this one close, and or give someone an extra power play or two,
01:10both power plays are lethal, lethal.
01:15So I think the total corresponds to the number of power plays in the game.
01:20All square, 5 on 5, Mike, I like Canada.
01:25I really do.
01:27Only because they're deeper.
01:28Now, the U.S. looks more physical, but if all things being said are equal, player-wise,
01:36man, a Canadian team, four lines deep, I think they might be just a little better.
01:44I actually think the United States is deeper on the forward line.
01:50I would take their four line, more specifically their bottom six.
01:55I think the bottom six on the United States is a little bit better than the bottom six
02:00on Canada.
02:01That's just me.
02:02Now, I think the defense, you took the three defensive pairs, I lean to Canada, probably
02:07when we go on, when you start talking about, you want to go like, you know, unit by unit
02:11breakdown of these two teams.
02:13I think that Canada's a little better on that side.
02:15I think U.S. is a little better on the bottom six.
02:18And we were just talking about how great Canada's power play.
02:20You brought it up.
02:21U.S.A. ain't nothing to sneeze at either.
02:23When you talk about bringing Hughes and Matthews and Eichel, and you put all those guys on
02:29the ice.
02:30I know it's not as flashy as McDavid, Crosby, McKinnon, but it's just as dangerous.
02:36Power plays will determine this total.
02:38I think this game is a grind it out, dead under, Dave.
02:43But if there's a bunch of power plays in the game, anything's possible.
02:47We'll know early, right?
02:48We'll know early.
02:49It'll be an in-game dream, betting it, watching it.
02:52The speed of the game alone, I can't even believe it.
02:57Watching it is just a fascinating watch.
