Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

Six states in this country where a case of beer is most expensive:

1) Alaska $31.21

2) Wyoming $26.68

3) Hawai’i $22.39

4) Montana $22.28

5) Tennessee $22.25

6) Vermont $21.56

**********

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud…..

13) Joel Embiid played 23:00 in Sunday’s NBA All-Star Game; now comes news that Embiid will miss the next week with a sore left knee. No bueno.

Embiid missed all of the first two seasons of his career because of injuries, and then he missed 51 games in his third year. This is his fifth year.

Over this season and the next four years, Philadelphia will pay Embiid $146M; playing for the 76ers is more important than playing in the damn All-Star Game.

12) Will the Big East get more than two teams in the NCAA’s?

As of Wednesday morning. Villanova/Marquette are locks for the tournament, but no one else in the league is ranked in KenPom’s top 50.

Joe Lunardi has St John’s as a 9-seed, Seton Hall as a 10-seed, so if they don’t stumble in the next three weeks, they’ll probably to get in, because nationally, this is a down year for quality teams. There will be a few teams in the NCAA’s this year that aren’t really that good.

Big East had six teams in NCAA’s last year, seven the year before, so even if St John’s/Seton Hall both get in the field of 68, it is a down year for the league.

11) Florida State’s Mfiondu Kabengele is the only player in the country who leads his team in scoring, but hasn’t started one game this season.

10) Georgetown 85, Villanova 73— Wildcats lost their third straight road games, as Patrick Ewing’s Hoyas improve to 16-10, 6-7 in Big East.

9) Mississippi State 68, Georgia 67— Georgia fan threw a small stuffed bulldog on the court while Miss State was shooting a foul shot with 0:00.5 left and game tied. Kid missed the first of two foul shots, but a technical foul was called, he made the second one, then missed the third foul shot on purpose as MSU escapes Athens with a road win.

8) Upsets of the Night:
— Air Force (+14.5) 64, Fresno State 61
— North Carolina (+9) 88, Duke 72
— San Diego State (+8.5) 65, Nevada 57
— Xavier (+6.5) 70, Seton Hall 69
— Northern Iowa (+6) 63, Missouri State 43
— Georgetown (+5.5) 85, Villanova 73
— Florida (+5.5) 82, LSU 77, OT

7) Kentucky’s big man Reid Travis sprained his knee Tuesday night, is expected to be out until the SEC tournament, which starts in three weeks.

6) Watching the first two weeks of the AAF, it seems like it might become a throwback league, a throwback to a time where teams ran the ball a lot instead of passing it all the time.

Why? Because the quality of QB’s in the AAF ain’t that good. When Mike Martz reverts to a run-based attack, and then it works, you realize that this league might be a little different, not better or worse than expected, just different. More like old-school football.

5) Joe Gibbs has had an underrated career, parlaying being a great NFL coach with his tremendous success as a NASCAR owner. Very unique combination.

4) Franklin Pierce is the only first-term American President who had been elected president and then was denied re-nomination four years later; four other Presidents didn’t win their party’s nomination in the next election either, but all four of those guys became president because their predecessor passed away.

3) At halftime of the Villanova-Georgetown game last night, FOX’s Gus Johnson gave a very nice tribute to a young man who passed away in a car accident recently. The man’s father is the stat guy on FOX’s broadcasts lot of the time. Johnson fought back tears as he spoke

2) North Carolina 88, Duke 72— Zion Williamson played 33 seconds in this game, hurt his knee and never returned. His foot went right thru his sneaker; never saw that before.

If you like to bet futures, this could change EVERYTHING; if Williamson is done for the year, Duke is in the ashcan as far as a national title goes- more than twice as much money has been bet on the Blue Devils to win the national title as has been wagered on any other team.

1) For some reason, betting over/unders on the first period of NHL games has become a hot topic in some corners of Twitter. Blackhawks are 47-13 over in the first period; Dallas Stars are 41-18 under. You get a trend that goes 47-13, and people get interested.

In the Crease - Week 22
Joe Williams

Cup Connection

The New York Islanders and Edmonton Oilers played in back-to-back seasons for the Stanley Cup. In 1983, the Islanders swept the Oilers in four games for their fourth consecutive championship. In 1984, Wayne Gretzky and the Glen Sather-coached Oilers had other ideas, ruining the 'One for the Thumb' pursuit which the Islanders still have never accomplished.

These historic NHL franchises will meet in Edmonton on Thursday night. The Islanders have overachieved this season, and are smack-dab in the middle of the playoff chase. The Oilers, well, at least they have 1984, 1985, 1987, 1988 and 1990 to fall back on, as they aren't likely to be back to a Stanley Cup Finals anytime soon despite the fact they employ one of the most dynamic scorers in the game. New York enters Thursday's game as slight road favorites despite being the more superior team. The Isles will be playing in a back-to-back situation, and they're 10-1 in their past 11 playing on zero days of rest. They're also 5-1 in the past six as a favorite, and 9-2 in the past 11 aginst Western Conference teams.

The Oilers have won just six of the past 26 meetings, and they're a dismal 2-12 in the past 14 games at home. In addition, they have dropped seven in a row against teams from the Eastern Conference, and they're 0-5 in the past five against Metropolitan Division foes. The good news, if there is any, is that Edmonton has won seven of the past eight at home against the Isles.

Looking Ahead

Thursday, Feb. 21

Washington at Toronto: The Capitals have started to put things together after a skid before the All-Star break which culminated with a 6-3 loss in Toronto on Jan. 23. The Leafs limp home after a six-game road trip, going 3-2-1, but totaling just two goals over the past two outings. Meanwhile, the Caps have alternated wins and losses in each of the past seven games, winning in Los Angeles on Monday to wrap up a four-game road trip of their own. The Caps have won 13 of the past 19 in this series, and the favorite is 20-7 in the past 27 meetings. The 'over' is 8-2 in the past 10 meetings in Toronto, too.

San Jose at Pittsburgh: We get a possible Stanley Cup Finals preview, although the Tampa Bay Lightning certainly have something to say about that. San Jose enters 5-0 in the past five road games while going 7-2 in the past nine overall. The Sharks are also 7-3 in the past 10 against teams with a winning record. The Penguins have won four of the past five, and they're 23-10 in the past 33 against Western Conference teams. While the Pens are 0-4 in the past four against teams with a winning record, Pittsburgh is 4-1 in their past five at home against San Jose.

St. Louis at Dallas: The Blues hit the road for the Metroplex looking to stay hot. St. Louis has won eight in a row on the road, and they're 6-0 in the past six against teams with a losing record. They're also 7-0 in the past seven as a favorite. The Stars have been a little better, going 4-1 in the past five at home while hitting in nine of their past 13 as a home underdog. However, they're 1-5 in the past six overall while going 0-4 in the past four against teams with a winning record. It will be a test for the Blues, if they want to stay hot. St. Louis is 1-4 in the past five meetings, and the home team is 6-2 in the past eight in this series.

Friday, Feb. 22

Colorado at Chicago: The Avalanche hit the road for Chicago, and they're just 16-35 in the past 51 as a road underdog. Colorado fired out of the chute this season, but they have won just eight of their past 31 games, too, going from a team which looked championship caliber to one which could easily miss the playoffs in the Western Conference. On the flip side, the Blackhawks looked to be dead in the water, made a coaching change, and suddenly they're red hot again. They have won 10 of the past 12 overall, they're 6-1 in the past seven at home and 4-0 in the past four as a favorite. The 'over' has also been the way to go on Chicago games, cashing in eight of their past 11 against the Central Division, while going 15-5-1 in their past 21 at home.

Winnipeg at Vegas: The Jets land in Vegas looking to get untracked. They're just 2-5 in the past seven road games, although they are an impressive 10-4 in the past 14 against teams with a winning record. The Golden Knights have been skidding, which is about as rare as the snow which fell in Las Vegas this week. The Knights have won just one of the psat six overall, and they're 2-5 in the past seven against winning teams. Vegas is also just 1-6 in the past seven at home. The 'under' is also 5-1-1 in the past seven meetings in this series.

Saturday, Feb. 23

Boston at St. Louis: Two of the hottest teams in the National Hockey League hook up in St. Louis in matinee action. The Blues will be looking to avenge a 5-2 loss in Beantown back on Jan. 17, as Tuukka Rask outperformed Josh Allen on that day. Even a month ago, Jordan Binnington was just bursting onto the scene and nobody knew he was going to be a game changer. The Blues won their 11th consecutive game on Tuesday, topping the Maple Leafs 3-2 in overtime. Boston won 3-2 on Wednesday in snowy Vegas (I know, it's still strange) in a shootout to fire out to a 4-0-0 record on their road trip, while picking up a seventh straight win.

Montreal at Toronto: The Maple Leafs head into this one with a six-game winning streak in tow against the Canadiens, arguably their biggest rival. Three of the past six have been decided by one goal, however, and four of the past seven battles have been decided in overtime. Toronto has averaged 4.2 goals per game during the six-game winning streak against the Habs.

Anaheim at Edmonton: The Ducks travel to meet the Oilers in what could only be termed the 'Disappointment Bowl'. These two teams expected so much more. While neither is out of the playoff chase in the Western Conference, they need wins like this one.

When the Ducks and Oilers get together, it has been a tight, hard-checking and close game. In fact, eight of the past nine have been one-goal games, with six of those outings decided either in overtime or a shootout. Four straight battles in Edmonton have resulted in overtime or a shootout, and five consecutive battles in Alberta between these two teams has resulted in a one-goal game. In fact, over the past 11 meetings in this series the teams have both scored 30 goals. That's how close it has been.

Sunday, Feb. 24

St. Louis at Minnesota: The Blues have been red-hot lately, including a 4-0 win in St. Paul on Feb. 17. In a scheduling quirk these teams meet for the second consecutive Sunday. Despite that loss last week, the Wild are actually 5-1 in the past six regular season meetings. So far this season the road team is a perfect 3-0, too. Over the past 10 meetings in this series the Wild has outscored the Blues 36-23.
