My friend, Mr. Rodin PERSON, you and I have to come on to this show and hit a lot of takes, cover a lot of things, and we've been really doing a good job, I think, of covering the secondround. 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 season for 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, 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 4203.44s - 205.44s

Mute button gets me again.

Speaker 5205.86s - 208.66s

It always gets me. It's going to happen at least once a week.

Speaker 2208.92s - 217.76s

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 Hints and Wyatt Johnston.

Speaker 0217.76s - 222.1s

So that's something, again, this is a great, great angle to look at,

Speaker 5222.64s - 225.46s

you know, watching the playoffs for the next, for the next month.

Speaker 0225.46s - 255.2s

And then we're trying to remember this going into the draft next season. So yeah, 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. I know what's going. I don't, I don't necessarily maybe agree with it. But I have to mention Alexander Ovechkin PERSON for being what he is right now,a 37, 38 year old captain of the Washington Capitals ORG who did absolutely nothing in the postseason

Speaker 4255.2s - 260.74s

so far the postseason. He's been eliminated. He's gone. Swept in four by the New York Rangers ORG with

Speaker 0260.74s - 265.14s

zero points, zero shots on that, I believe, maybe one shot on net.

Speaker 5265.42s - 269s

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

Speaker 4269.08s - 271.96s

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

Speaker 5271.96s - 276.16s

He had five shots on net all series long. Okay, five, sorry, it was the first game he had

Speaker 4276.16s - 279.62s

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

Speaker 5280.18s - 285.44s

Wow. Yeah. So Alexander Oveston, five shots in four games, zero points, a minus two.

Speaker 4286s - 295.58s

And this is, you have to bring him up for that reason. But, you know, again, with a little bit of caveat, you know, you look at the regular season, he still finished with 65 points.

Speaker 0295.92s - 311.68s

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

Speaker 5311.88s - 313.38s

It's an interesting conversation for sure.

Speaker 4313.38s - 317.62s

Especially in a categorical league where you know he's going to continue to put shots on

Speaker 5317.62s - 351.62s

net. You know he's going to get, 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 Oveshkin PERSON is starting to show. Can he continue to do what he does best and score goals for this Washington ORG team that

Speaker 0351.62s - 385.48s

struggled to score goals all season long? I believe their goal scorer leader was Dylan Strom, and point leader was Dylan Strome. That to me is not very good enough. It speaks volumes to where they're at right now as an organization. They squeaked into a playoff spot. So Alexander Ovexican PERSON has to get mentioned. But if you don't remember, or if you forgot, I actually traded for Alexander Ovechkin PERSON in myKeeper League ORG. 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 5386s - 395.92s

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 4395.92s - 423.1s

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 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 single situation on the ice.

Speaker 5423.58s - 554.06s

It's when you look at his first half steel, I guess I just know if you're an older player, you 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 season, 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 capitals against 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's to beat up on the Columbus Blue Jackets and, you know, the Philadelphia Flyers ORG 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 Olmark PERSON, which wasn't bad, it wasn't great. It's more so what Jeremy Swayman PERSON is doing for himself. Has Linus Olmark 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 Linus 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 shouldbe drafting Linus 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 4554.78s - 582.1s

If he remains with the Boston Bruins 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 PERSON,you're the number one guy, but they keep Linus Hallmark PERSON, his, his value goes completely, completely down the, off a cliff.

Speaker 5582.24s - 585.74s

Especially because we don't know what the future holds for this Boston Bruins ORG team, right?

Speaker 4585.82s - 596.98s

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 because he'll be that number one

Speaker 5596.98s - 599.72s

goaltender who will be getting the 50-50 split.

Speaker 0599.98s - 601.6s

But if he remains in Boston ORG,

Speaker 5601.6s - 606.46s

and I really do think Jeremy Swayman should be the number one guy

Speaker 0606.46s - 610.88s

and get at least, at least 60, 65% of the starts.

Speaker 5611.14s - 611.72s

Yeah, me too.

Speaker 0611.72s - 621.28s

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,

Speaker 5621.28s - 682.5s

but we'll get to all of that after the break and finish up with big time bets at the end of the episode. Yes, sir. And you know that today's episode is brought to you by our friends at Indeed ORG.

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'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. Yep. I've got a player who I think we both really like career high, career high in points with his new team this year.

Speaker 0784.6s - 794.48s

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 5794.48s - 798.04s

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

Speaker 0798.28s - 802.18s

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

Speaker 5802.34s - 806.1s

He had a career high, 48 points with his new team,

Speaker 0806.16s - 832.2s

the Vancouver Canucks in 81 games, 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, you know, and again, the points are now showing with this 26, 27 year old who's just getting into his prime. He's got an absolute howitzer.

Speaker 4832.44s - 841.74s

What I don't understand is, how in six games do you only have four shots? Again, when you have that slap shot in your arsenal, the howitzer that we've seen him do,

Speaker 5842.06s - 845.7s

I believe he had the hardest, the hardest shot this season,

Speaker 4848.16s - 857.82s

like 105 miles per hour or something like that. Yeah. And you're only shooting the puck four times. I know in that first round series against Nashville ORG, it was tough to get up on net. The defense on both sides was really, really good. But you've got to do a better job of that.

Speaker 0858.2s - 892.42s

Six games played in the postseason. He has zero points so far. I believe he is also a minus two as well. So I've been fairly disappointed with a lot of Vancouver players. Elias Patterson being one, Philip Roneck PERSON being another. He has not done anything. He has not done anything. He literally has zero points. And Nikita Zedorov PERSON has probably been theirsecond best defenseman in Vancouver 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 so far in the postseason. I think this is also one of those

Speaker 5892.42s - 903.4s

cases, Steele 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

Speaker 0903.4s - 1013.96s

where maybe he would 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 Roanek 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 Iam 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 take. You know I was high on him headed into last draft season. You've 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 Macklin Celebrini PERSON. These are the things that you need to start paying attention to because all of a sudden, Steel, 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. Ilya 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 Swamen playing like he did, you saw a little blip from Andre Vasilevsky PERSON.That top five goalie, top six goalie board is starting to shuffle around a little bit. And I'm looking at Sorokin PERSON like this.

Speaker 51014.74s - 1079.16s

I didn't like how he was deployed by Patrick Waugh PERSON. 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 PERSON. 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 Wa PERSON is so comfortable putting all that money on the bench, I still think Sorokin PERSON'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, 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. I'll piggyback off of that as well. I think

Speaker 41079.16s - 1083.4s

I'll bea Sorokin PERSON definitely didn't live up to his standards. I don't think the organization,

Speaker 01083.9s - 1094.22s

he lived up to the organization standards after obviously getting that massive contract and being that long-term goalie that he's going to be for the New York Islanders ORG. So, yeah, I agree with him.

Speaker 41094.38s - 1099.22s

He's still going to be a top third round pick.

Speaker 51099.32s - 1107.66s

You know, like he's still going to be 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 41107.88s - 1110.08s

And sometimes it doesn't work out properly.

Speaker 51110.24s - 1121s

And that's what that seemed to be the case with me this year. I drafted a little bit later. I've drafted a little bit earlier. Wasn't the case for me. But I think Ilya Sororcah PERSON is a good name to bring up right now. So I'll piggyback off of you with that one.

Speaker 41121.64s - 1126.12s

Another defenseman that I want to talk about that I absolutely love.

Speaker 01126.22s - 1136.42s

I love drafting this 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 ORG right now, but got to bring up Shea Theodore

Speaker 41136.42s - 1141.54s

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

Speaker 01141.54s - 1158.02s

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

Speaker 41158.88s - 1161.4s

This was a player I was very disappointed in.

Speaker 01161.52s - 1180.44s

I thought he was going to be a huge X factor behind William Carlson to be that guy to take them over and take them to the next round against the Dallas Stars ORG or, you know, faced the Colorado Avalanche in the second round. That was not the case. They got, you know, they got their top defensemen scoring from Brayden McNath, two goals, three assists.

Speaker 51180.8s - 1185.24s

Noah Hanifin, the newly acquired defenseman who also had four points or five points in that

Speaker 41185.24s - 1194.66s

series. Who goals three assists for him as well. 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,

Speaker 01195.1s - 1200.26s

but Patrangelo only had one point. Shea Theodore only had zero, he had zero points. It's not

Speaker 51200.26s - 1217.7s

good enough from the blue line, in my opinion, even though McNabb and Hannifin had five points each, when you're two best defensemen, arguably your two best defensemen, Petrangelo and Shea Theater, combined for one points in seven games or 14 games combined, it's not a recipe for success.

Speaker 01217.7s - 1260s

It's not a game plan that you can go moving forward to against the Colorado Avalanche ORG and expect to win. So that's one thing. The second thing that I'm very concerned about with Shea Theodore PERSON 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. There seems to be an injury problem starting to develop with this player, which scaresme a lot. 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. I'm still absolutely love this player. I'm still going to try to draft him when I can. I'm just going to maybe wait and see where he starts to fall to a little bit,

Speaker 51260.08s - 1263.88s

do a little bit more research on Shane Theodore PERSON, his injuries and, you know,

Speaker 01263.94s - 1267.5s

where he's been going ADP-wise, but that's another concern for me.

Speaker 51267.86s - 1282.08s

I think that's also an important thing to bring up here, Steele PERSON, 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 undraftable. All of these players, I think we're looking at are still very...

Speaker 41282.08s - 1313s

All draftable. Very much draftable. They fall down a couple rounds. 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. Shea Theodore PERSON had19 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, some later round guys.

Speaker 01313.18s - 1320.74s

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.

Yeah, I got two players. And then we'll wrap this episode up with big time bets. Yeah, and I think the last one in Elias Pedersen PERSON is quite clear.

Speaker 41414.8s - 1444.98s

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 knowactually 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,

Speaker 51444.98s - 1450.2s

it's just when you see him follow up that regular season performance with this one.

Speaker 41450.26s - 1491.3s

This one is definitely still right up there as the most disappointing fantasy performance this postseason. You know, talk, 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-gold lead. And if he's going to continue to put up zeros, 0-0-0-0-0, except for that one goal,

Speaker 51492.1s - 1506.26s

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 Rupa Hintz, 75 points in 65 this year, a little bit of a down year. Those were his regular season point totals. Yeah.

Speaker 41506.62s - 1511.12s

Rupa Hintz PERSON has also been a bit of a polarizing fantasy piece, steal, because he goes on

Speaker 51511.12s - 1550s

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 41550.7s - 1557.2s

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

Speaker 51557.38s - 1579.1s

But we know this team, 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 Hins PERSON problem, but a whole Dallas Star C ORG problem. Very strong team, but if they're dropping point-wise,it hurts their fantasy value. My last player, I'll make it really quick. It's Tyler To Foley of the Winnipeg Jets ORG. It's a good one.

Speaker 41579.14s - 1583.52s

This guy has been on six teams in the last five years.

Speaker 51584.16s - 1589.56s

L.A. Kings, Montreal, Montreal Canadians, Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, New Jersey Devils ORG,

Speaker 41589.56s - 1607.68s

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

Speaker 01607.68s - 1614.48s

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

Speaker 41614.48s - 1619.08s

couple of years. I agree. You know, continually being traded. Is he going to get comfortable? Is he

Speaker 51619.08s - 1623.76s

going to get the chemistry going? Obviously, that one year in Calgary was 73 points. He played

Speaker 01623.76s - 1633.12s

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 41633.96s - 1643.34s

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

Speaker 01643.52s - 1648.34s

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

Speaker 51648.46s - 1670.02s

55 points total, which is still a great year, but it's not 73. It's 20 points less. Yes. No, it's a good one. Tyler Toffoli 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 name to watch out for moving forward in next year's fantasy draft. Those are the five players from each of us that we believe you need

Speaker 01670.02s - 1675.04s

to keep an eye on moving into next year's fantasy draft. So thank you so much. We're going to get

Speaker 51675.04s - 1684s

over to big time bets right now where the money is made. 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 41684.2s - 1686.46s

My first pick of the night,

Speaker 51686.76s - 1690.16s

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

Speaker 41690.7s - 1691.98s

Going back to Carolina ORG.

Speaker 01692.16s - 1694.56s

Carolina ORG gave me a quick, quick heart attack,

Speaker 41694.64s - 1696.3s

quick scare the other day in game two.

Speaker 01696.52s - 1705.38s

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 51706.06s - 1709.08s

Seth Jarvis, your boy, Andre Svetzegov PERSON, getting a little dirty,

Speaker 01709.2s - 1711.76s

trying to take Igor Shisirkin's PERSON legs out from underneath them.

Speaker 41712.96s - 1714.28s

Anyways, back to Carolina ORG.

Speaker 51714.48s - 1715.36s

That's my first pick.

Speaker 41715.48s - 1717.56s

Hurricanes ORG on the money line at home.

Speaker 51717.66s - 1719.22s

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

Speaker 41720.48s - 1723s

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

Speaker 51723.06s - 1724.94s

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

Speaker 41725.12s - 1725.76s

I love it.

Speaker 01725.76s - 1761.04s

I'm 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 and Avalanche ORG,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 died can get going, over five and a half in my opinion. Avalanche stars, there's too much star power on the Aft side. And if that star power on the stars died 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 51761.7s - 1831.56s

I'm going to just to 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 games when they were really flexing their muscle and tighten up defensively. Does that mean they're going to stopthe 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 Otenger 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'mjust going to spit it out. Maybe 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 in lock of the night come from the Rangers and Carolina ORG. I'm going right back to the over though. Rangers and Carolina ORG,

Speaker 41831.56s - 1834.14s

I wasn't expecting this one to be high scoring,

Speaker 01834.26s - 1860.6s

but it looks like it's going to be a run and gun type affair. And maybe we should have expected it after Carolina 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 best of them. So let's go over. It's also at five and a half. So I'll take five and a half minus 110. Lock of the night.

Speaker 51861.02s - 1863.52s

Talked about this guy quite a bit. No, it's not Sidney Crosby PERSON.

Speaker 01863.62s - 1891.26s

He's not in this or else I'd probably. Vince intro check. Anytime assist. Lock of the night talked about this guy quite a bit. No, it's not Sidney Crosby PERSON. He's not in this or else I'd probably. Vincent Trocheck PERSON, 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. scoring winner for this Rangers ORG team's deal. If guys keep clicking like that and it's not even Sabenajab and Zabedad and Panarin PERSON,

Speaker 51891.54s - 1895.92s

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 41896.4s - 1948.3s

Yes, it will be indeed. Thank you so much for making the lockdown fantasy hockey podcast. Your first listen every single day. Those are the locks of the night. Vincent Trojerk, anytime assist.
