Speaker 764.4s - 86.3s

And we've been really doing a good job, I think, of covering the second round.We're going to continue to do it round by round until that cup is lifted. But we're also going to continue to sprinkle in this fantasy focus. That's what we're doing on today's episode, because you and I have seen this before. Postseason performances, both good and bad, develop and change what a player might be drafted at next draft seasonfor the good and for the better. Are they still valuable pieces? Yes, but these performances are going to affect where you want to be drafted them, and that's what we'll talk about on today's episode, Steel WORK_OF_ART. Not exactly a top five ranked list, but these players that you and I are talking about have definitely underperformed,and I would say all have impacted their draft stock for next season. And of course, we got Thursday's big time betting breakdown ready to ride. You're on mute, brother.

Speaker 6185.9s - 187.74s

Mute button gets me again. It always gets me. It's going to ride. You're on mute, brother. Mute button gets me again.

Speaker 7188.14s - 200.04s

It always gets me. It's going to happen at least once a week. But, hey, we can even look back to last postseason to see some of the good that we saw in fantasy value, just looking at the Dallas stars and Rupert Hins and Wyatt Johnston.

Speaker 0200.04s - 219.62s

So that's something, again, this is a great, great angle to look at, watching the playoffs for the next month and then trying to remember this going into the draft next season. So, yeah, you know, I think I would be reprimanded if I didn't mention this player. I think I'd be absolutely scolded online if I did not mention this player.

Speaker 7219.62s - 220.34s

I know what's going.

Speaker 0220.34s - 223.52s

I don't necessarily maybe agree with it.

Speaker 7223.52s - 229.02s

But I have to mention Alexander Ovechkin PERSON for being what he is right now,

Speaker 0229.1s - 234.12s

a 37, 38-year-old captain of the Washington Capitals

Speaker 6234.12s - 238.02s

who did absolutely nothing in the postseason so far.

Speaker 0238.12s - 239.64s

Postseason, he's been eliminated.

Speaker 4239.78s - 247.42s

He's gone. Swept in four by the New York Rangers with zero points, zero shots on net, I believe, maybe one shot on net.

Speaker 7247.7s - 251.3s

I got it up right here, still, because I have this exact same player on my list.

Speaker 6251.38s - 254.24s

You have to. You have to have them on the list. So Alexander.

Speaker 7254.24s - 256.3s

He had five shots on net all series long.

Speaker 6256.5s - 258.98s

Okay, five, sorry, it was the first game he had zero shots.

Speaker 7259.1s - 261.9s

And last game, he had no shots on net as well. Games one and four.

Speaker 6262.4s - 276.08s

Wow. Yeah. So Alexander Oveston, five shots in four games, zero points, a minus two. And this is, you have to bring him up for that reason. But, you know, again, with a little bit of the caveat, you know, you look at the regular season, he still

Speaker 0276.08s - 292.2s

finished with 65 points. In the second half of the season, after the All-Star break, this guy popped off for 20 plus goals and 20 plus assists, or 15-plus assists and finished with 65 points. He still has it, in my opinion. He's still a valuable,

Speaker 7292.2s - 297.08s

valuable fantasy asset. It's an interesting conversation for sure. Especially in a categorical

Speaker 6297.08s - 301.22s

league where you know he's going to continue to put shots on net. You know he's going to get,

Speaker 7301.6s - 333.7s

you know, 13 power play goals is still really, really good for this player. 28 power play points is still very good. That was actually better than last season where he had 25 power play points. So he's going to get his shots. He's going to get his power play points. He's still a physical guy.He still lays the body out when he's on the ice. He blocks. He hits. He does everything you need. But the regression for Alexander Ovescun PERSON is starting to show. Can he continue to do what he does best and score goals for this Washington ORG team

Speaker 5333.7s - 339.2s

that struggled to score goals all season long? I believe their goal score leader was Dylan Strome.

Speaker 4339.52s - 344.98s

Point leader was Dylan Strome. That to me is not very good enough. It speaks volumes to where they're at

Speaker 0344.98s - 367.76s

right now as an organization. They squeaked into a playoff spot. So Alexander Ovexkin PERSON has to get mentioned. But if you don't remember, or if you forgot, I actually traded for Alexander Ovetrickkin PERSON in my keeper league. And I'm going to keep him because I think he has a ton of value moving forward.I think, you know, it was a little bit of a weird year for him, but we saw what he could still do in the second half of the season.

Speaker 7368.32s - 378.2s

I think I agree with about 80% of that. My concern is that, and you alluded to the point, is the Washington ORG lineup that's insulating around him. Yeah.

Speaker 6378.2s - 405.38s

If he was in any other situation, I would think that maybe last season's first half was a bit more of a blip on the fantasy radar because I actually think your maybe last season's first half was a bit more of a blip on the fantasy radar because I actually think your point about the categorical peripheral value, I think we'll still hold true because even in those four games, he was still throwing his weight around 12 hits, but in game four, in an elimination game, and I understand that that team was severely outgunned outmatch at every single position and at every singlesituation on the ice.

Speaker 7406.02s - 536.36s

It's, when you look at his first half steel, I guess I just know if you're an older player, you've got to almost rely on those younger guys around you a little bit more. Is he still going to break Wayne Gretzky's PERSON record for sure? Is next thing, am I going to agree with you for the most part about categorical leagues?Most definitely, but it's just a very interesting conversation. But I think the main point remains. I know Alex Ovechkin was still going in the second and third rounds last year. I don't think he should be that high. I'm looking at him if you are going to be taking him. In my opinion, I'm saying fourth, fifth, and sixth rounds, meaning that his poor performance hurt his draft stock. And I know that's a bit of a combination of regular season and postseason because, look, there was no hope for those Washington Capitalsagainst the New York Rangers in the first round. So I don't want to put too, too much value into what we saw in four games just because they were completely, look, OV's not going to play the Rangers all season long in 82 games, right? He didn't get to beat up on the Columbus Blue Jackets ORG and, you know, the Philadelphia Flyers of the world, just like he does every single season.So maybe there's some more value there. I got a player steal, though, that only played one game in the postseason. And I think that performance by Linus Omerk PERSON, which wasn't bad, it wasn't great. It's more so what Jeremy Swayman PERSON is doing for himself. Has Linus Omerc proven that he can be a good NHL ORG goaltender, a great one? He has a Vesna PRODUCT.We know this. This isn't me trying to say he's not valuable. But when you look at if they keep both of them next year, Jeremy Swamen is an RFA ORG steal. They're going to throw some money at him. So I don't know.Maybe they look to move Lieness Allmark PERSON. Maybe he clearly remains number two. He had a shot in there. He allowed three goals. He wasn't the reason they lost, but he didn't steal the game for them. So I know this one maybe is a bit of a cop out, but the point remains.His draft stock is going down because mostly of how good Jeremy Sweman PERSON has been. But I don't think you should be drafting Lainus Olmark as high as you would have last year, just based on the fact that if he gets traded to a worse team or he eats less games, that's not rocket science deal. His value goes down.

Speaker 6537.06s - 561.64s

If he remains with the Boston Bruins ORG and they get out of this road, you know, this plan and this, you know, this mentality of rotating every single game, his value goes down, or his value sort of remains the same for me if they continue to, if they, if he, if they get out of it and they give it to Jeremy Swamen, you're the number one guy, but they keep Linus Hallmark PERSON, his, his value goes completely,

Speaker 7561.64s - 568.02s

completely down the, uh, off a cliff. And then especially because we don't know what the future holds for this Boston ORG team, right?

Speaker 6568.1s - 577.76s

A lot of people were expecting a regression this regular season. We were wrong there, but you know what I'm getting at. Yeah, I will say if he is traded, I think his value actually might go up a little bit

Speaker 7577.76s - 582.02s

because he'll be that number one goaltender who won't be getting the 50-50 split.

Speaker 0582.26s - 585.94s

But if he remains in Boston ORG, and I really do think

Speaker 7585.94s - 588.76s

Jeremy Swamon should be the number one guy

Speaker 0588.76s - 592.18s

and get at least, at least 60, 65%

Speaker 7592.18s - 664.78s

of the starts, his value will go down. I've got three more players, four more players, sorry. A couple of defensemen that I think you might be shocked at that I bring into the conversation,but we'll get to all of that after the break and finish up with big time bets at the end of the episode.

We appreciate all that love and support you show us Monday through Friday.We're in playoff season right now. We're breaking down some not so great playoff performers right now and whose fantasy value could really decline going into next year's fantasy draft. I've got a player who I think we both really like career high, career high in points

Speaker 0764.76s - 776.76s

with his new team this year. But I got to mention it because he has been a ghost, like a lot of players on his team. It's Philip Roneck of the Vancouver Canucks ORG. Interesting.

Speaker 7776.76s - 780.32s

It could possibly go down by what we're seeing right now.

Speaker 0780.56s - 784.48s

But, you know, this is a player that we talked a lot throughout the entire season.

Speaker 7784.64s - 790.16s

He had a career high, 48 points with his new team, the Vancouver Canucks in 81 games,

Speaker 0790.32s - 812.46s

43 assists, five goals. He was a career best by a mile plus 33, 38 penalty minutes. You know, he doesn't shoot the puck a ton. He only had 148 shots on net, but he does all the other things right. He gets blocks. He gets hits. He does that peripheral stuff. And again, the points are now showing with this 26, 27 year old who's just getting into his prime.

Speaker 8812.84s - 814.5s

He's got an absolute howitzer.

Speaker 0814.72s - 819.52s

What I don't understand is, how in six games do you only have four shots?

Speaker 6819.6s - 823.7s

Again, when you have that slap shot in your arsenal, the howitzer that we've seen him

Speaker 7823.7s - 829.64s

do, I believe he had the hardest, the hardest shot this season, like 105 miles per hour,

Speaker 6829.74s - 838.08s

something like that. And you're only shooting the puck four times. I know in that first round series against Nashville GPE, it was tough to get up on net. The defense on both sides was really, really good.

Speaker 0838.08s - 872.12s

But you got to do a better job of that. Six games played in the postseason. He has zero points so far. I believe he is also a minus two as well. So been fairly disappointed with a lot of Vancouver ORG players. Elias Patterson being one, Philip Ronak PERSON being another.He has not done anything. He has not done anything. He literally has zero points. And Nikita Zedorov has probably been their second best defenseman in Vancouver ORG right there behind Quinn Hughes, who has nine shots on that. He's doing everything defensively. He's jumping up in the rush.He's getting shots on that. He has nine shots on that actually. So fairly disappointed with Roanex

Speaker 7872.12s - 886.68s

so far in the postseason. I think this is also one of those cases, steal that based off of headed into the fantasy draft season, we're not looking at this as maybe a draft stock fall. This is based off of how good he was during the regular season and where maybe he would

Speaker 0886.68s - 1000.3s

have been taken. This is exactly the angle we're talking about. Sometimes players get jacked up in value because, look, this is the last bit of hockey that you're going to remember for the next three months. And the same on bad performances. You look at Roanick PERSON and you go, oh, damn, he did nothing in the playoffs.I might leave him to a later round. This is exactly what Steele PERSON and I are trying to highlight because some might be true and some might be, some might not be true. And when you look at Roneck, though, 104 hits this season, 87 block shots, and then you factor in these two points, 48 of them, and that he plays with Quinn Hughes PERSON. So I would say this is one of those players that if you see nothing from him,the rest of the playoffs, continuing this theme, yeah, it's a bit concerning. But I don't know if I am like scared off of him because he will probably get to play with Quinn Hughes PERSON once again. And when I look at my next guy, though, and if you're okay, I'll head there. Because I'm with you on this Roneck PERSON take. You know I was high on him headed into last draft season. You've got to be all over it. hit my next guy though and if you're okay i'll head there because i'm with you on this roneck take you knowi was high on him headed into last draft season you got to be all over it it's never too early to look ahead it's never too early to dig into the numbers see what teams are doing hey the san jose sharks are going to get maclin celebrini PRODUCT these are the things that you need to start paying attention to because all of a sudden steal august is going to be here and you and I will be doing mock draft season, baby. Make sure you smash that subscribe button, drop us a five-star review because it means a lot to us,and it helps us get better for your draft season. Elias Seroken Steel PERSON is another player that I've talked about a lot. And look, is he still an elite level goaltender? In my opinion, yes, he is. But you know me in goaltenders when you have Jeremy Swayman PERSON playing like he did, you saw a little blip from Andre Vasilevsky, that top five goalie, top six goalie board is starting to shuffle around a littlebit. And I'm looking at Sorokin like this. I didn't like how he was deployed by Patrick Waugh PERSON.

Speaker 71000.44s - 1058.58s

That was number one. Is that his fault? No, but he was bad in the regular season by his standards as well. And you know he was one of the first goalies off the board. So I would say buyer beware for this main point. I don't know the contract situation for Varlamov. I know that they just committed to Sorokin PERSON. But with Patrick Waugh's PERSON tendency to go to him in the postseason when it counted the most, I'm a little bit concerned about his deployment next year. If Patrick Waugh PERSON is so comfortable putting all that money on the bench,I still think Sorokin's the number one. I still think he has what it takes to do all those elite-level fantasy things. Patrick Waugh PERSON don't give a dang about any of that steal. And if he's feeling another goaltender, whether they bring someone in or at Zvarley PERSON again, I just have to look at what he did in this postseason, Sorokin PERSON and his limited opportunity.You know, he got pumped three goals and 14 shots. I don't think that's indicative of what he can do. I'm just worried about how he's going to be deployed because of that poor performance.

Speaker 61059.04s - 1064.3s

I'll piggyback off of that as well. I think Elias Sorokin PERSON definitely didn't live up to his standards.

Speaker 01064.46s - 1075.78s

I don't think the organization, he lived up to the organization standards after obviously that getting that massive contract and being that long-term goalie that he's going to be for the New York Islanders ORG. So yeah,

Speaker 61075.78s - 1082.38s

I agree with him. He's still going to be a top third round pick. You know, like he's still going to be

Speaker 41082.38s - 1089.94s

one of those goalies off the board. But I think, you know, like we've talked about drafting goalies in the first couple of rounds is a little bit scary to do.

Speaker 71090.14s - 1092.36s

And sometimes it doesn't work out properly.

Speaker 41092.48s - 1094.74s

And that's what that seemed to be the case with me this year.

Speaker 71094.8s - 1097.04s

I drafted a little bit later. I've drafted a little bit earlier.

Speaker 41097.4s - 1103.28s

It wasn't the case for me. But I think Ilya Sirorkan PERSON is a good name to bring up right now. So I'll piggyback off of you with that one.

Speaker 61103.92s - 1109.58s

Another defenseman that I want to talk about that I absolutely love, I love drafting this

Speaker 01109.58s - 1119.74s

player. I love drafting a few players from this team. I know, I know they're probably one of the most hated teams in the NHL right now, but got to bring up Shea Theodore PERSON for the same

Speaker 61119.74s - 1125.74s

vein, for the same reason. It's my boy. But I got to bring him up because of the same exact reason

Speaker 71125.74s - 1131.08s

for the same for the same exact reason that I talked about with Philip Ronex PERSON.

Speaker 01131.08s - 1143.68s

Shea Theodore, seven games, zero points. He was a he was even plus minus 14 shots on that playing over 22 minutes of ice time. This was a player I was very disappointed in.

Speaker 61143.68s - 1145.44s

I thought he was going to be a huge

Speaker 01145.44s - 1160s

X factor behind William Carlson PERSON to be that guy to take them over and take them to the next round against the Dallas Stars or, you know, face the Colorado Avalanche in the second round. That was not the case. They got, you know, they got their top defensemen scoring from

Speaker 71160s - 1169.22s

Braden, Braden McNaught, two goals, three assists. Noah Hanifin PERSON, the newly acquired defenseman who also had four points or five points in that series. Two goals three assists for him as well.

Speaker 61169.56s - 1179.14s

Yeah, so five points from those two defensemen, but you know, it's hard to say who the best defenseman is when they have so many good defensemen, but Patrangelo only had one point.

Speaker 01179.86s - 1183.74s

Shea Theodore only had zero, he had zero points. It's not good enough from the blue line,

Speaker 71183.74s - 1204.08s

in my opinion, even though McNab PERSON and Hanofin had five points each, when your two best defensemen, arguably your two best defenseman, Petrangelo and Jay Theodore combined for one points in seven games or 14 games combined, it's not a recipe for success. It's not a game plan that you can go moving forward to against the Colorado Avalanche ORG and

Speaker 01204.08s - 1220.06s

expect to win. So that's one thing. The second thing that I'm very concerned about with Shea Theodore is this is back-to-back seasons with playing almost 50%, just over 50%. He played 47 games this last year and 55 games the year before that.

Speaker 71220.18s - 1225.3s

There seems to be an injury problem starting to develop with this player, which scares me a lot.

Speaker 01225.38s - 1233.24s

And I've alluded to not drafting players so high because of their injury prone concerns. So that's starting to be a factor for me.

Speaker 81233.38s - 1235.46s

I'm still absolutely love this player.

Speaker 01235.6s - 1245.06s

I'm still going to try to draft him when I can't. I'm just going to maybe wait and see where he starts to fall to a little bit, do a little bit more research on Shane Theodore PERSON,

Speaker 71248s - 1248.38s

his injuries and where he's been going ADP-wise,

Speaker 01249.78s - 1250.14s

but that's another concern for me.

Speaker 71252.76s - 1264.32s

I think that's also an important thing to bring up here, Steele, is when you look at these performances and you think about fantasy value for next season, I don't think this means like they're not, they're undraftable. All of these players I think we're looking at are still very,

Speaker 61264.32s - 1294.02s

all draftable, very much draftable. you just really don't want to just because they had a good season last year and also let me just bring up quickly before i ramble on too much she theodore had 19 points a couple of years ago in the postseason 10 points two seasons ago and last season 13 points and i know obviously they played a lot more games than the seven they got this year but he just was not the same player he also had 40 plus points in the regular season. I like that you're digging into almost a deeper, you know, third or fourth echelon tier,

Speaker 01294.14s - 1303.02s

some later round guys. I'm talking about some guys a little bit higher up, which we will continue right around the break along with, of course, our big time bets.

We have talked about that one already. I don't even think we need to go back down that well. So let me just spit out. He is definitely hurting his draft stock. I understand he was sick the other night. He's dealing with some off ice issues to me when you put up the seasons that,and I know actually steal, this has been a player. You and I have talked a lot about in terms of what do we think he can actually do, 102 points and then 89 points this season, you know, and I'm not going to take away. This guy is still a very, very valuable fantasy piece. And an elite talent, it's just when you see him follow up that regular season performance with this one.This one is definitely steal right up there as the most disappointing fantasy performance this postseason. You know, talk whatever you want about Mitch PERSON and whoever else. Elias Pedersen's PERSON team is lucky to be in this situation. He has three assists and eight shots on net. He's supposed to be their number one offensive guy along with Quinn Hughes PERSON, and I really think this Vancouver Canucks ORG team is going to need to tighten it up in a hurry,or else this Edmonton Oilers ORG group is going to roll through them. You can agree on that. Rupa Hintz has one goal steal. The Dallas Stars just got outgunned by blowing a three-goal lead, and if he's going to continue to put up zeros, zero-zero-zero, zero,except for that one goal,

Speaker 71471.18s - 1482.86s

I'm worried about these Dallas Star Steel ORG that I've come on here and talked a very long amount about, 72 points for Rupert Hintz, 75 points, and 65 this year, a little bit of a down year. Those were his regular season point totals. Yeah.

Speaker 61483.22s - 1486.14s

Rupé Hintz has also been a bit of a polarizing fantasy piece,

Speaker 71486.22s - 1526.58s

Steele PERSON because he goes on prolonged stretches of cold streaks, and then he blows the doors off of things like he did last postseason in very special fashion. And am I going to write him off? No, we're only in game two of the second round, and he has a chance to respond.But right now, Steele PERSON, what has he got here? Oh, my goodness me. He is not one goal through the first chunk of games is not going to get it done. And I'm trying to bring up the shot total. He has 10 shots in eight games also not good enough. So for me, Rupé Hints, given that he's coming off a 65 point regular season,where his draft stock was already dropping, it's definitely dropping even more with only one goal through eight games.

Speaker 61527.28s - 1533.8s

Yeah, it's very concerning for the Dallas Stars ORG. It's very concerning for Rupert Hintz draft value going into next season.

Speaker 71533.96s - 1555.7s

But we know this team even this year, Jason Robertson PERSON fell off in the point category, even though they were the top team in the Central Division ORG. So it seems to be not just a Rupé Hince PERSON problem, but a whole Dallas Star C ORG problem. Very strong team, but if they'redropping point-wise, it hurts their fantasy value. My last player, I'll make it really quick. It's Tyler Tofoli of the Winnipeg Jets ORG. It's a good one.

Speaker 61555.7s - 1557.32s

This guy has been on

Speaker 71557.32s - 1560.1s

six teams in the last five years.

Speaker 61560.74s - 1562.24s

LA Kings ORG, Montreal

Speaker 71562.24s - 1563.92s

Canadians, Vancouver Canucks ORG,

Speaker 61564.28s - 1583.38s

Calgary Flames, New Jersey Devils, and now the Winnipeg Jets ORG. That's six teams in the last five years. Outlier year being with the Calgary, his last year with the Calgary Flames ORG, 73 points in 82 games. Other than that, he's been a perennial 45 to 53, 55 point player per season,

Speaker 01583.62s - 1585.28s

which is still great.

Speaker 61591.08s - 1591.72s

But this seems to be an underlining concern with this player being moved over the last couple of years.

Speaker 01591.84s - 1609.74s

I agree. You know, continually being traded. Is he going to get comfortable? Is he going to get the chemistry going? Obviously, that one year in Calgary was 73 points. He played absolutely phenomenal.And he got a lot of, you know, draft stock or trade value from, you know, the New Jersey Devils and the Calgary Flames ORG when they made that trade.

Speaker 61610.26s - 1619.92s

But moving forward, he's still, obviously still a very draftable player, but there's a lot to be concerned with, with, again, that outlier season with 73 points.

Speaker 01619.92s - 1624.94s

Again, just he fell back down this year between the New Jersey Devils and Winnipeg Jets ORG,

Speaker 71624.94s - 1643.06s

55 points total. Yeah. Which is still a great year, but it's not 73. It's 20 points less. Yes. No, it's a good one. Tyler Tofoli PERSON needs to be mentioned as well, still a draftable player. Still think he holds a ton of value in categorical leagues, but it's definitely a nameto watch out for moving forward in next year's fantasy draft.

Speaker 01643.06s - 1654.02s

Those are the five players from each of us that we believe you need to keep an eye on moving into next year's fantasy draft. So thank you so much. We're going to get over to big time bets right now where the money is made.

Speaker 71654.18s - 1660.6s

Absolutely feeling it. I had a big night the other day. Flip, if you don't mind, I would like to kick it off. Please.

Speaker 61660.78s - 1664.08s

My first pick of the night, Thursday.

Speaker 71665.24s - 1666.74s

It's going back to Carolina ORG. It's going back to Carolina.

Speaker 61667.32s - 1668.56s

Going back to Carolina ORG.

Speaker 81668.76s - 1670.04s

Carolina ORG gave me a quick,

Speaker 61670.14s - 1672.88s

quick heart attack, quick scare the other day in game two,

Speaker 81673.08s - 1682s

but Rangers ORG pulled it out, but the hurricanes are getting their own. Jake Gensels PERSON look great. Dmitri Orlov PERSON is getting into it offensively as well.

Speaker 31682.68s - 1683.36s

Seth Jarvis PERSON,

Speaker 01683.36s - 1684.82s

your boy, Andre Schettingov PERSON,

Speaker 61684.9s - 1688.36s

getting a little dirty, trying to take Igor Shirkin's PERSON legs out from underneath them.

Speaker 71689.5s - 1690.88s

Anyways, back to Carolina ORG.

Speaker 61691.08s - 1691.96s

That's my first pick.

Speaker 71692.12s - 1694.16s

Hurricanes ORG on the money line at home.

Speaker 01694.26s - 1695.82s

They're going to get at least two, I said.

Speaker 71697.04s - 1699.58s

They're going to get their first in game three back at home.

Speaker 01699.66s - 1701.54s

So that's my first pick, Hurricanes ORG money line.

Speaker 71701.74s - 1702.2s

I love it.

Speaker 01702.2s - 1737.64s

Second pick comes from the same games, or second and third come from the same game. I'm going back to what I did in game one. Avalanche stars over five and a half. It might not be as high scoring as that first round series between the Jets ORG and Avalanche, but it's still going to be going over five and a half, in my opinion. Avalanche ORG stars, there's too much star power on the Aft side.And if that star power on the stars side can get going, over five and a half for me. And my lock of the night, Valerian Achushkin PERSON, anytime goal. He gets another one in game one. He's been absolutely firing on all cylinders. Eight goals now in the playoffs.He's killing it. That's my lock of the night.

Speaker 71738.3s - 1808.14s

I'm going to just have to agree and slightly disagree with your take on Colorado, Dallas ORG, only because we can each win our bet because I have this bad boy at under six and a half. The only angle I'm looking at that I disagree with you on, and it's not because your points are bad in any stretch of the imagination. I just think this Dallas Stars ORG team needs to return to how they were winning gameswhen they were really flexing their muscle and tighten up defensively. Does that mean they're going to stop the Colorado Avalanche from scoring three or four? Absolutely not. And we know the Gorgiev struggles on the other side. So you're playing into all of the proper storylines. I'm just going to go with under six and a half.I think Jake O'Donger PERSON needs to respond. And maybe I'm a little bit biased here, Steele, because I know I need Dallas ORG to win this series or a number of different bets. And maybe that's why I'm going with, they need to play back into that style of game to go to get this series in their favor. However, I'm just going to spit it out. Maybe this, this bad boy finishes at four, two again, and we can both make a little bit of money. So under six and a half at minus 118. And my last two picks and lock of the night come from the Rangersand Carolina ORG. I'm going right back to the over, though. Rangers and Carolina ORG,

Speaker 01808.14s - 1835.42s

I wasn't expecting this one to be high scoring, but it looks like it's going to be a run-and-gun type affair. And maybe we should have expected it after Carolina ORG loaded up at the deadline with offensive pieces to really change that part of their game. They were a snoozy, defensive first, snuff out the shots kind of team and hope that the goaltender steals them a game or two. Now they're trying to run and gun with the bestof them. So let's go over. It's also at five and a half. So I'll take five and a half minus one 10.

Speaker 71836.36s - 1840.92s

Lock of the night. Talked about this guy quite a bit. No, it's not Sidney Crosby PERSON. He's not in this

Speaker 01840.92s - 1867.84s

or else I'd probably. Vince intro check, anytime assist. Lock of the night. I wanted to go anytime point, but there is no value there considering he has a point or two in every single game already. He also has an Apple in every single game except one. So hit me with the Vincent Trocheck PERSON anytime point. He was also the double O.T goal scoring winner for this Rangers ORG team steal.If guys keep clicking like that and it's not even Sabenajab and Zabedad and Panarin PERSON,

Speaker 71868.42s - 1872.5s

this Rangers ORG team is going to be very, very hard to bounce and that's going to be good for your futures bets.

Speaker 61873s - 1925.42s

Yes, it will be indeed. Thank you so much for making the Lockdown Fantasy Hockey podcast, your first list in every single day. Those are the locks of the night.
