00:00Pete, when you look at the guys on the ice tonight, of course, it is as star-studded as you could ever hope on both sides, for Canada and for the United States.
00:10So as we look at the prop component tonight in the X's and O's, key matchups of this list and maybe some others,
00:18which player steps up on maybe the most significant stage they have seen in their international hockey career?
00:25The goalie matchup is crazy because almost any day of the week you would pick, whether you're doing fantasy or props or betting on games,
00:34you'd pick Connor Hellebuck over Jordan Binnington almost every day of the week.
00:38But this comes down to one single game, and it brings back memories of when Jordan Binnington beat the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final in 2019,
00:50on the road at TD Garden, kind of ripped their hearts out.
00:54So he's back to a familiar crease in that regard, and he's the X factor for me, for Team Canada.
01:01He's actually been slightly better than Hellebuck in high danger save percentage during this tournament.
01:07So it's been a surprise. I thought they would play Aiden Hill a little bit more, but it's been all Binnington for Canada, and he's been better than expected.
01:15And then in terms of some of the other props, I like the Kachuk brothers to get on the board.
01:20You can get Brady Kachuk for a plus number for a point, an even better number for him to score a goal,
01:27again, playing with his brother Matthew and also Jack Eichel, so three studs on that line for sure.
