00:00Let's kick things off this way, Dave.
00:03Obviously, we have one game six tonight.
00:05Let's get that out of the way, and then we can kind of piece through
00:08some of the other things that happened last night
00:10into those series prices for next week.
00:13So, Winnipeg and St. Louis are going back to St. Louis for a game six tonight.
00:17This has obviously been played home ice really, you know, the whole way here.
00:21Winnipeg wins the first couple at home.
00:23St. Louis wins the next two there.
00:24Winnipeg gets the game five at home.
00:27Critical spot here now.
00:28Does St. Louis keep this trend going with the home teams here,
00:32or does Winnipeg finish this thing off?
00:37It kind of feels to me, Dave, like a little bit like the Vegas-Minnesota series.
00:42I know not necessarily in terms of home ice, road ice,
00:45but in terms of much better team that I think has been pushed a little,
00:51like we expected, maybe more than Minnesota, a little bit further along by St. Louis.
00:54But I think the ride ends tonight,
00:56and I think Winnipeg is going to get them, Dave, here in St. Louis
01:00and get our first road winner of the series.
01:03The line would indicate differently.
01:05You know, St. Louis being favored.
01:07Yes.
01:07Okay.
01:08So, it would require a road team to win a game for the first time in this series
01:12as a plus.
01:14My first lead is St. Louis.
01:17I think we go to seven.
01:18But I think once we get to seven, it's a wrap.
01:22I think Winnipeg, I don't know what would have to happen.
01:27Although, does the injury affect the handicap for you?
01:32You know, him not playing, Shifley not being out, it's a big deal.
01:42He's like, he's one of their three best players.
01:47You know, him, Conor, and Hellebuck are obviously the three keys to them.
01:53I don't know why I'm doing it, Dave, but I'm putting a lot of faith in Hellebuck
02:01tonight when I probably shouldn't, obviously.
02:04By what he's done in the playoffs and even in this series, the two games in St.
02:10Louis, I'm putting a lot of faith in him.
02:13But something inside me is saying that Hellebuck is going to give you the kind
02:18of performance that gets him a finalist for the Hart Trophy like he was
02:22announced as this week.
02:23I think you finally get it tonight.
02:26I think it's a Hellebuck game.
02:27It's a low, it's an under.
02:29It's a hell, and I know I haven't been mad at you.
02:31I think it's an under.
02:32I really do.
02:34So that's where I'm kind of leaning, like a 3-1 jet empty netter type of game
02:37tonight.
02:39Five and a half, under minus 135, pretty much standard across the board in a lot
02:44of books.
02:47No one wants to go to five.
02:48They probably should.
02:50If you're going to watch this game and play it in game, play it under five and a
02:53half, because it's going to move quick to four and a half.
02:57And even if there's no scoring in the first 10 minutes, you might even see a
03:00three and a half flash in that first period.
03:03So, yeah, I think Winnipeg wins.
03:06It goes under.
03:08But I just think St.
03:10Louis gets it done tonight.
