Aim for hours. Well, then I'm out. I'm sorry, Jet. Actually, you're already in. Are you in? Or are you out? On sports. 1440. I thought you would go, I'm in, Bob. We would have had a really cool moment. But you kind of ruined the whole thing. All right, Duke, let her buck. Game day for the Emton Brothers down in Sin City, taking on the Vegas gold. The night's winner of tonight's game, barring an extra point situation. I guess I should add that will get control of second place inside the pathetic Pacific division. Maybe I'll take any bait there, Kevin. Oh, I told you.

All positive. I'm not doing anything. All you're out on the pathetic division. They're coming on. Game day prediction. Keep it simple to lead things off. I'm going with a second street win for the others. They've had success against Vegas this season. I see it continuing tonight. And the game total. My favorite Euler's bet this year. Over six and a half will hit for the eighth time this month. You know, Duke, I'm going to go so in on this one, baby. And normally, normally, I try to challenge you. Like I go against you, Duke. Just to again, why, you know, why agree on everything? But man, the way Aiden Hills playing, who knows if he even starts tonight, Schmid's not that much better. The Euler's gold-tending question marks are there. It's been what, four, two, and four three this year? The two games. So one, I'm assuming that one was six and a half as well. I'm going to say, yeah, I'll go. I'm going to be in on this one.

Duke, I'll say, I'm on the over. Yeah, all four goalies currently employed by these two teams. Lowest goals against is a two, five, nine. That's Schmid. The, that is Schmid. And the highest safer percentage is an 893. Also, but here is Schmid. So it's been tough sledding, obviously, in between the pipes for both these teams at different times this year, and for the large overarching part, the entire season. So I don't really know why there have been any reason to doubt this. If the only one being touched on this was spec earlier on in the program, but you have Vegas 28th, excuse me, just 16th in goals for per game this season. So middle of the pack at 311, but when you pair that with the Euler's high profile offense, they can get a couple past and might see seven goals slide in. And hey, the seventh just merely made it in the Utah game with the Conor's empty netter, but I expect a little bit of a goal fest tonight down at T-Mobile.

I wanted to see the safe percentages duke of all the goalies. And as you said, right when you mentioned Schmid, I had them punched up at 893, and the goals against a two, five, nine. Now, you know, things aren't going well for you. If you're an NHL goal tender and you're not on page one, if you're not on page one, which has 50 goals, I'm going to say it's not a small, small selection either. It's a pretty big 50 goal this on page one and you're not on there. Conor Ingram is, he's just below Schmid at 890 and 283. Well, that's not just, but it's a fair bit. So yeah, if you're on page two of that, it's not, you're not having a great year. But to the first part, you're feeling good about the other's chances in the game, regardless of how many goals each team does score. Yeah, I think again, you know, when Frank and I were talking about Saturday night,

and he mentioned, you know, maybe this is, and he never used the term a rallying point or, you know, a point where this team can start to dig in a bit more. I think maybe just that whole that, like, you know, Conor's words even after the other night, you know, everybody dug in. And that's what has to happen. So maybe at this point, you can dig in for two, three, four games, maybe more consecutively, because that's what they have to have. And so to pony off that little bit, Kevin, for the oilers, that every game does matter here, that there's no, there's no moral victories at this stage of the season where they're out in the standings. They're playoff positioning is solid, but far from secured. Do you, as someone that watches this team game to game, need to see them put out a second consecutive good defensive ever? And I'm not saying you got to be as stifling as you were against the mammoth, because that was

very impressive. They blocked more shots than the mammoth got on net. You don't need to see that. But do you need to see that? Or is just saying get the two points in whatever fashion it comes? The two points are more important. Of course. Obviously, no matter how you, how you get it. But for me, I want to see the continuation to build, to stack performances from shift to shift period to period game to game, where you are now talking that you've played well for over a week. The other half of the coin tonight, Vegas golden nights is struggling three and seven in the last 10 games. Just mentioned there, middle of the pack offense, defense, you know, not much better goaltening. Of course, a struggle as we just broke down. And I'm thinking despite their pedigree, looking around the rest of the NHL, they've got some big name players. Still they've made the ads that they think and put them back over the top. I do not view this Vegas team as a Stanley Cup contender here as we hit the final couple weeks of the irregular season. You know, I put them

sort of in the same grouping as the Oilers Duke in the sense that there are pieces there. The goaltening isn't as good as they need it as it needs to be, but there are pieces there. So I'm not going to be totally agreeing with this one, only because they're in the Pacific. So again, the Vegas golden nights can win two rounds of the playoffs if they get their game together, just like the Oilers can win two rounds of the playoffs in the Pacific and get their game together. Now you get to the final four. It makes things a lot more interesting, a lot more tougher. Everyone knows that. But the path to get to the final four, never been easier for anyone here in this division. Most notably, the guy, the two teams that have had playoff success, that know what it takes to get through a Stanley Cup playoff run, and that's Vegas and the Oilers. So I'm not going to go as far to say to what your question is, saying that they're not a Stanley Cup contender because of the division they're in. They could get to the final four, and then who knows what happens after that.

I just, man, the games that I've watched them play this year and it is more than just the two outings against the Oilers. I just, it doesn't feel like they, I would agree with you that I'd almost put them in the same camp as Edmonton where it just, there's something about it where it seems like they don't have it. I don't know what it is. It's one of the most impossible things to define. The Oilers, they've clearly showed an ability to get to that final stage. Vegas, most of the same team were part of this Stanley Cup championship roster just a couple seasons ago. But yeah, there's just, they seem to lack that factor a little bit this season. So I'm, I'm not viewing them as a, as a huge player down the stretch. Got a special alert here. Oh boy. Before you get to your next question for our good friend and coos, David Schlemko. Schlemdog. Thomas Shabbat has had surgery will be out anywhere between four and eight weeks with a broken bone in his arm. That can't be good. Not intentional. Oh, who's accent pure accident. The men's March Madness bracket resuming

tonight with sweet 16 action of the eight matchups in this round. Oh, I'm seeing three, three of eight as upset victories. So which one aren't you? Well, I'll tell you which one I am. Maybe save ourselves a little bit of time. The upset wins. I see happening are Iowa over Nebraska. They are just one and a half point underdogs, but they are nine seed. I would not have said this going into the tournament last weekend, but I'm taking Arkansas to beat number one Arizona. And then tomorrow, give me Tom iso and the Michigan State Spartans over the Yukon Huskies. Isn't that something, Duke? So three out of the eight, you're seeing our upsets. I'll just, I'm going to be out. I'll go two. Just two. Yeah, I don't see Arkansas. But the other two you agree with or do you have different ones?

Okay, I don't think Texas can beat Purdue. So that's an agreement. Okay. And you said, what did you? You had Iowa over Nebraska. Okay. I don't think Iowa is going to beat Nebraska, so that's I don't have that. All right. So then the last game tonight is Illinois at Houston. Well, you're definitely not taking the align eye over the Cougars because they're your national champions. So you think there's two tomorrow on the table. I don't know what it is about watching Alabama throw all these three balls. I just find it's such a difficult game. Like it's such an easy game to disrupt. Listen, I'm not denying all that, but I don't know what it is. Maybe they get blown out, but you know, here's the other one. The way that Duke's been playing, I maybe see John. So no, you don't. I don't trust the John is because and Declan mentioned it when he was on with you. Like they can go so long like there's such a bad shooting team. And they cost them last year. And I can see it cost them again here.

M. Terry says you're just throwing junk at the wall because you know your bracket is cooked. Well, yeah, of course I am. Like I said, I had Arizona going to my final four originally, but there's just something about Darius A cuff that if nothing else, he can keep this game close. The Arizona seven and a half point favorites. I like Arkansas to cover a lot. I may sprinkle the money line, but so I'm out duke the way I get out. So, but you, you don't like any other ones? No, not really. Just the one just Alabama over Michigan. Well, no, that would have been my third one, right? Well, I got you got you with Michigan state. Okay. So I got that one. And then St. John's no, not St. John. Well, you didn't like any today. So all so far, you just have one. Yeah, okay, Alabama. Either way, less than three. Less than three is worse.

But an 11 game slate starting here in just over an hour's time. Yesterday, we predicted our world series, which was a rematch in my eyes of the Jays and Dodgers. Let's go to the NL pennant winners regular season division champions today. I'm taking the Cubs, the Dodgers, and the Mets keeping it chalky in the national league. You know what? I'm going to be in on this one. I like this one, too, because I have the Mets and I have the Mets possibly beating the Dodgers to get to the world series. Right. And the Cubs, you know, Milwaukee's always stepping around.

They just always, and I don't know how they do it. They lost guys again this year, like that pitching system that continues to pump guys out and then they leave for the big money. You have to appreciate what they do, but at some point does it kind of start to derail? So underrated there. But he's hurt. Is he hurt right now? You're going to be out. What? Just just came across this morning. Oh, good. What was the on IL fractured hand? Good. That happened yesterday. Yeah. No injury that occurred when he was playing for Vince Venezuela on March four. I feel bad for whoever took him in our draft last night. Was he you? No. That's terrible. Currently, the favorites from a book perspective. Cubs plus 110. Brewer is just behind at 225. Mets plus 135. Philly is even tighter at plus 175. And then of course in the NL West. It's not even listed, actually. Maybe it's, oh no, here we go. There. The Dodgers were plus 250 to win the World Series. Dodgers minus 650 to win the

divisions. Padres plus a 50. So that's the chalkiest of the chalk gets. But it gave a mind. It was pretty close last year. It was close. But the Dodgers had so many injuries. Yes. And the pitching staff very much. So you're in here. Let's be in agreement and we'll visit the American League tomorrow ahead of the blue jays, getting things going from Toronto. Perfect. Any conversation with baseball? I think it goes hand in hand with ballpark food and even without Laddie Schmidt here. We'll keep it on a food theme for a Thursday. The gimmicks, the sticks that these teams, these ballpark's roll out. I'm over it. They've gone too far. I don't if you saw this Kevin Connor talked about on five questions. The Gregor yesterday, a lobster, not lobster lobster. Poutine and Boston at Fenway Park. Wait, I'm out, dude. Man, I wanted to have the best. I went to the big eight. I had those nachos in that helmet. So here's unreal. Hear me out. Yo, I'm at the baseball game. Here's things that I would like to take. The nachos in the helmet ice cream in the helmet. I'm here for it. Okay. That,

that it to me is born like tried and true. And I like it because it almost gives walls. It's like eating nachos in a bowl chance of spillage is way way improved. Give me those. Give me a hot dog. Give me draft beer in a cup. I do not need this Fugaisie 999 challenge. Really give you one tall boy can of beer to pour into little shot glasses and nine mini hot dogs. Matt at that. And these milkshakes that tower a foot tall with all the toppings and stuff. Like it's a baseball game. Oh, keep it. It's an experience, dude. Exactly. It's an experience. I was mad about that thing. The 999 with the boat. Was it two ounces of beer in each one? Three ounces? Not even. I don't think. Yeah. Then they give you the can, right? That's an out. Was that in San Fran last night? Uh, might have been. Yeah. And there are many dogs, right? The mini dogs. Tiny dogs. Those are, we could do 999 in our sleep, Duke. That is happening. Can you be able to crush that in in any? That is happening this year. I'm guaranteeing it down at down at the Hawke's Park. Hey, I like going to figure out a day.

It's probably going to be a little Friday night game or something. Friday a Friday night game. And just get bombed. Don't expect to see me at the triple S the next morning. You know how bad your guts would be? Oh, man. Yeah, I won't be there not because I'm hung over, but because they'll still be on the can. Trying to piece my, you know, piece my way through that process. On Monday, hockey. I'll see him today. My buddy, Louis. He was at Sunday night. All you could eat, um, sushi with also the Korean barbecue. He said, he said like three in the morning that he woke up in bed. And he was on all fours because his guts were so sore because he couldn't even walk while he said these intestines were doubled over. Yeah. Good stuff. Duke. No, I like, I just too much. It's too much, Kev. Keep it simple. You can, you can have some fun with it. The helmets, but like you don't got to go overboard. Keep it. I like the menu. When I go up at River Hawke's Games, I look at that menu and I go, yeah, that's cool stuff. No, you don't. You're just like, give me 12 hot dogs, please. Thank you.
