**********

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind……..

13) If you haven’t seen it, go on the Interweb and find DeAndre Hopkins’ great catch that was nullified by a penalty Thursday night. Pretty sure it was the best catch I’ve ever seen; if Hopkins played for a New York team, he’d be a lot better known that he is now— great hands.

12) Texans lost WR Will Fuller (torn ACL) for the season in Thursday’s game.

11) People complain (and rightfully so) about athletes’ salaries, but how about Megyn Kelly making $23M a year from NBC? Really? 23 freakin’ million a year? Now she gets paid $69M to go away; it must be nice.

Athletes have very short careers; a TV person can work until they’re a senior citizen.

10) Georgia Tech scored 49 points in a win at Virginia Tech Thursday and they didn’t complete a pass- Yellow Jackets were 0-1 thru the air.

9) I normally try to ignore individual baseball awards, but how the bleep is Trevor Story not a finalist for Gold Glove at shortstop in the NL?

Story is on my fantasy team, so I watch just about every Colorado game; he had a super year at the plate, but he is a damn good fielder, too. Huge oversight by whoever decides these things.

8) They’re charging $19.95 for the Woods-Mickelson golf event the day after Thanksgiving; I wouldn’t watch it if it was on free TV. Will be interesting to see how many people pay to watch.

7) Would be curious how Billy Donovan/Brad Stevens feel about coaching in the NBA. as opposed to college ball— I’m guessing they don’t miss recruiting, but the NBA is also more of a player’s game. Can do lot more teaching in college; many more practices.

6) There is ugliness in Denver; Broncos’ owner Pat Bowlen has Alzheimer’s and hasn’t run the team for a while. Now there will be a legal squabble over which one of Bowlen’s children will wind up in charge of the Broncos- there are three trustees running the team now.

Forbes values the Broncos’ worth as $2.65B; as usual, there will be lawyers.

5) Quote of the Day, part 2, from Atlanta Hawks owner Tony Ressler:

“For two years, I was a deer in the headlights. It’s like the story of a poker game when you’re looking around, and you wonder who the fish is. If you don’t know the answer, it’s probably you. I don’t want to blame somebody else because I was the schmuck, and I didn’t have to do it. I realized the mistake the minute after I did it.”

Ressler bought the Hawks in 2015;

4) Ressler is married to actress Jami Gertz, who was in the movie Less than Zero and the TV series Square Pegs. She represented the Hawks at the draft lottery last spring.

3) Mets’ search for a new general manager has apparently boiled down to two candidates: agent Brodie Van Wagenen and Rays executive Chaim Bloom. Working for the Wilpons took a lot of candidates out of the running- they’re not the best owners.

Former Brewers’ GM Doug Melvin was also in the running, but apparently isn’t now.

2) NFL fired an official this week, after that official missed an obvious false start in the Chargers-Browns game— Chargers scored a TD on that play.

Chargers’ left tackle started early; it wasn’t hard to see; the official on that sideline was fired, the first in-season firing of an NFL official in at least fifty years. Chances are he had other mistakes if he got fired; they wouldn’t axe the guy over one mistake.

1) Purdue football coach Jeff Brohm is a rising star in coaching with a 41-19 record at Western Kentucky, Purdue; his playing career didn’t go as smoothly.

Brohm led Louisville to 5-6/9-3 records his junior/senior seasons, after breaking his ankle as a sophomore; he later bounced around the NFL, throwing 37 passes for the 49ers in 1996-7.

Brohm also played in the XFL’s only season, playing seven games for Orlando before an injury ended that season. Brohm had earlier played two years of minor league baseball, hitting .214 in A ball for Cleveland Indians’ farm clubs- he was a head coach in the Arena League for a year, before beginning his college coaching career.

He could write a hell of a book someday.

Bettors brace for a wild third period between the Leafs and Jets, and this weekend's NHL odds and analysis

It's a busy weekend on the NHL ice, leaving plenty of betting options on the board. We look at the best ways to play the pucks, including two Canadian teams clashing when the Maple Leafs and Jets meet up Saturday night.

Metropolitan Mayhem

The Flyers and Islanders meet up in Philadelphia in a game that figures to be a high-scoring and energetic showdown at the Wells Fargo Center. The total has gone Over in five straight meetings between these two teams and has hit in five of their last seven meetings overall. The Over is 20-6 in New York’s last 26 games when playing on two-day’s rest and is 9-4-1 in Philadlephia’s last 14 home games. The Flyers have also conceded 40 goals in just 10 games this season which is tied for dead last in the NHL with the Detroit Red Wings. And while the Islanders offense hasn’t been great, they have potential to contribute in this spot. Take a look at the Over 6 goals.

Extinguish the Flames

The Flames were absolutely destroyed Thursday night, dropping a 9-1 decision at home against Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Capitals, meanwhile, were a few hours North in Edmonton at the time of Calgary’s thrashing, falling 4-1 to the Oilers. These two face off in Calgary Saturday and you can be sure that both teams will look for a much better effort defensively. The Under is 4-1 in the last five meetings between these two sides and coincidentally is 5-1 in each team’s last six games following a loss of three or more goals. There's a lot of offensive fire power in this game but after both teams looked horrendous defensively, there's value in a low-scoring contest Saturday - especially witht the total at 6.5 goals.

Special Teams

The Jets and Maple Leafs complete their home and home set in Toronto on Saturday night in one of the feature games of a busy NHL slate. As expected, the total is set at 6.5 goals as both teams have no issue scoring the puck. And while the total is screaming for bettors to take the Under, the better play here is to focus on the third period total as this one figures to have plenty of fireworks in the final frame. The Leafs and Jets are fifth and sixth respectively in third-period goals conceded while the Jets are the NHL’s best in goals scored in the final frame with the Leafs not too far behind in 10th. The game figures to have plenty of goals but most of them come in the last 20 minutes. Check out the third period as the highest-scoring period.

Extra Attackers

The Boston Bruins hope their power play will make the difference in their divisional showdown against rival Montreal. And for those betting the home side on the puckline in this game, pay careful attention to the following trends: the Bruins are among the league’s best when it comes to their home-ice power play efficiency, clicking at a 42.9 percent clip, whereas the Canadiens have one of the league’s worst road penalty kills, sitting in 24th. On the other side of the coin, the Habs are 17th in road power-play percentage while the B’s rank fifth in the league on the penalty kill at home. Special teams often plays a factor in the outcome of a game and this one figures to be no different. Take this into consideration if you’re thinking about taking the Canadiens as a road dog.

Goalie Profile

The Tampa Bay Lightning are playing in a back-to-back situation after outlasting the Vegas Golden Knights last night and now they head into the desert to face the Arizona Coyotes. Louis Domingue is expected to get the start for the Bolts after Andrei Vasilevskiy played last night and, while it may be a coincidence, it's more likely that the Tampa Bay coaching staff planned their goaltending decisions accordingly. Domingue is playing against his former team and will have a ton of motivation to put forth a strong effort against a Coyotes side which already has troubles scoring goals. The Under is 10-4-1 in the last 15 meetings between these two sides in Arizona and is 8-3-2 in last 13 overall for Tampa Bay. Take the Under 5.5 goals.

Injury Update

The Dallas Stars have one of the league’s best offensive cores led by Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin but perhaps their biggest weapon is former Canadiens and Predators forward Alex Radulov. The Russian sniper has 10 points already this season but is still reeling from an injury and is not expected to play against the Red Wings on Sunday. Dallas is coming off a home win against the Ducks but will have two days off coming into Sunday’s showdown. And with Ben Bishop slated to face off with a low-scoring Red Wings team, NHL bettors should be confident playing the Under.

Betting trends of note

• Oilers are 5-17 in last 22 in Nashville. Take this into consideration if you’re thinking of taking the Oilers as a heavy road underdog.

• Over is 11-2-4 in the last 17 meetings with the Blues and Blackhawks. Both teams are capable of putting up big totals and this one figures to be another high-scoring contest.

• Over is 11-2 in last 13 meetings with Toronto and Winnipeg and is 5-1 to the Over in their last six meetings in Toronto. Expect plenty of fireworks on Saturday night in Toronto.
