Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

Top seven college hoop teams on foul line:

7) Colgate 80.9%

5) Campbell/Sacred Heart 81%

4) Texas-El Paso 81.7%

3) Northeastern 81.9%

2) Pepperdine 85.5%

1) Western Illinois 88.3%

**********

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

13) Personal update: Retina in my right eye detached nine weeks ago today; I had an operation on my right eye October 22- they inserted a gas bubble in the eye, which helps the retina get back where it belongs. Not sure I realized at the time that this is a serious operation.

Went to the eye surgeon yesterday (Friday); the retina has been re-attached, so that is good and the gas bubble is now roughly 80% gone. The bubble is expected to be gone in the next couple of weeks, and then things can get totally back to normal.

12) Thanks for your patience during the last couple months; I’m guessing my proofreading has slipped some. I can see out of the right eye, but can’t really read with it. I’ve tried to reduce any stress in my life, so the bubble will go away faster. Hopefully we’ll get back to picking games when the calendar turns to January- we’ll see.

11) Gerrit Cole’s 9-year contract is the longest any pitcher has gotten since 1976, when the Indians gave Wayne Garland a 10-year, $2.3M deal.

Thats $230,000 a year, for ten years. Was pretty big news way back then, when I was a junior in high school.

Garland went 20-7 for the ’76 Orioles, coming out of nowhere after starting his career 7-11 in his first three seasons. Remember, the Orioles were the better team back then.

Garland went 10-19 for a 74-87 Cleveland team in ’77, making 38 starts, then his career unraveled, going 15-29 in the last four years of his career.

10) Random fact: LSU QB Joe Burrow is older than Lamar Jackson.

9) Topeka, the state capital of Kansas, is offering potential new residents up to $15,000 to move there, providing they purchase or rehabilitate a home, and live and work there for a year.

8) New York Mets reached an agreement on a re-done contract with Yoenis Cespedes, which is expected to lower their 2020 payroll a decent amount. Cespedes didn’t play at all LY because of foot injuries; he’s played a total of 119 games the last three years.

7) Baseball stuff:
— Brewers signed oft-injured P Brett Anderson to a 1-year deal; Anderson was 13-9 LY, his career high in wins.

6) New Jersey Giants released CB Janoris Jenkins, after he refused to apologize for an offensive tweet he sent to a critical fan. In his 8-year career, teams Jenkins played for are a combined 48-77-1, losing their one playoff game (Packers beat Giants 38-13 in ’16 Wild Card game).

5) Actors have to play a variety of roles to have a successful career; Scottish actor Brian Cox has an excellent resume- he is currently the star of HBO’s series Succession, but in 2002 he was the Army father who disliked baseball in the real-life story The Rookie, about a high school science teacher who becomes a major league relief pitcher.

Three years earlier, Cox played the longtime owner of the Detroit Tigers in For Love of the Game, the Kevin Costner movie. Funny seeing the same guy playing such different roles.

4) Bucks 127, Grizzlies 114— Milwaukee has won its last 17 games.

3) Clippers 124, Timberwolves 117— Kawhi Leonard scored 31 in the first half, wound up with 42 points; Paul George scored 46 points for the Clippers. Minnesota lost its 7th home game in a row.

2) Josh Donaldson told his mom that if she quit smoking he’d get her a Maserati; because it is 2019 and everything gets filmed now, they posted the video on Twitter of Donaldson driving up to her house in the car, and then the mom’s (extremely) enthusiastic reaction. Hope the car doesn’t have an ashtray in it.

1) Get well soon to former NBA commissioner David Stern, who had emergency surgery after a brain hemorrhage Thursday. Stern was NBA commish for 30 years; he is 77 now.

THE FLAME REGRESSION

The Calgary Flames (5-0 SU, 4-1 O/U last five) were also one of a handful of NHL teams that sacked their head coach. Calgary has responded by ripping off six straight wins (three as plus-money dogs) and has taken 17 of a possible 18 points in its last nine games. They will entertain the Carolina Hurricanes (3-2 SU, 2-3 O/U last five) on Saturday in what is the second game of a four-game homestand for Calgary.

The Flames have found ways to win but still have let their opponents produce more unblocked shot attempts (measured as Fenwick) over their last eight games and have been “lucky” in regards to stopping high-danger shot chances. Calgary leads the league over the last three weeks in high-danger save percentage at 96 percent (unsustainable; league average is ~82% percent and Calgary sits at 83% on the season) while also scoring 20 percent of its scoring chances (league average is around 12-13%; Calgary sits at 13% on the season).

Add in the fact that Calgary has the 10th-worst penalty kill since November 24 at 78.5 percent and a serious regression may be coming for the West’s No. 6 team. There should be good value in a Carolina ML on Saturday night and we will also be looking at the Hurricanes' team total of 2.5 and hitting the Over.

DEEP DIVE INTO LEAFS’ NUMBERS

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been relying on their goalie Freddy Andersen a lot since new coach Sheldon Keefe took over 10 games ago. Since November 29 the Leafs have been outshot and out-Fenwicked and sit in the Bottom-10 in shots, Corsi and Fenwick against. They are also allowing the fourth-most scoring chances against at nearly 25 a game.

Andersen is having to make nearly 11 high-danger (shots in close) saves a game but is holding his own with an 86% save percentage. During the Leafs’ current road trip, they have been outshot in two of three games while having a higher expected goals against than goals for but have outscored their opponents 11-8.

We are riding the Oilers ML on Saturday night as Andersen has been playing over expectations of late and a date with McDraistl and the league’s best power play could change that.

LOSERS CONVENTION IN MOTOR CITY

Well, the league’s worst losing streaks are finally over and coincidentally both teams that ended their slides on Thursday will meet in Detroit on Sunday night when the L.A. Kings visit the Red Wings. Both teams will be on the back-end of a back-to-back with L.A. traveling from Pittsburgh to Detroit overnight.

The Wings put out the fires of a 12-game losing streak with a 5-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets and also ended an 0-8 ATS run. The Wings’ power play went 2-for-4 with the man advantage and has been converting at nearly 30 percent through December which is the fifth-best rate in the league.

The Kings had lost 11 straight road games before Thursday’s 2-1 win in Anaheim. Over those 11 games, the Kings have scored more than two goals just once and saw the Under hit in seven of their last nine.

There is a good chance that both backup goalies play this one but even that doesn’t give us enough confidence in the Over. We do think that the Red Wings have the advantage in special teams, especially with L.A. allowing six power-play goals in its last 20 times shorthanded (most in the league). We are tailing the Red Wings team total Over 3.5 for plus money as it has hit in three of the Kings’ last five road games.

GOALIE PROFILE: PEKKA RINNE, NASHVILLE PREDATORS

The 2017-18 Vezina winner has fallen on tough times of late as Predators goalie Pekka Rinne has a 4.80 goals against over the last seven games and has just two wins. The Finnish keeper has allowed four or more goals in five of those seven games and has had to watch Nashville’s last two games from the bench due to his poor play.

The veteran goalie should respond after a couple of games to collect his thoughts and will take on a traveling Dallas Stars club Saturday that will be on the back-end of a back-to-back. Dallas has scored two goals or less in eight of its last 12 road games while the Predators have scored the second-fewest goals since November 7 and are scoring at under 10 percent on the power play.

We may get a 6 on the total with how badly Rinne has been playing, but are willing to take the Under even at 5.5 in what is a great bounceback spot for an experienced goalie going through a rough patch.

INJURY UPDATE: F TRAVIS KONECNY, PHILADELPHIA FLYERS

The Flyers leading scorer is still out with a concussion and will likely miss Saturday’s game against the Wild in Minnesota. Philly could also be missing another key part of its offense with Oskar Lindblom questionable for the weekend tilt. Lindblom is tied with Konecny for the team-lead in goals and both are major pieces of the Flyers’ power play that went 0-for-2 Wednesday in the first game without both stars.

The Wild have held their opponents to two or fewer goals in four of their last five home games and dodge a bullet with absenses of Konecny and Lindblom as the Wild penalty kill has been near the bottom of the league since November. We are fading the Philadelphia offense and taking the Under on its team total of 2.5.

HAT TRICK TRENDS

• The Carolina Hurricanes and the Edmonton Oilers are the only two teams hitting first-period Overs at 80 percent in their last 10 games. Both play on Saturday with Canes facing the Flames (5-5 O/U 1P totals last 10) and the Oilers taking on the Leafs (9-7-1 O/U 1P away this year). The two-teamer would return backers close to a +200 payout.

• The Montreal Canadiens are 9-1 SU versus the Detroit Red Wings over their last ten matchups, including six victories of -1.5 or more. Since 2014, Detroit has come away with a victory in Montreal just three times (twice in OT) in a span of 13 games. Look to grab the Habs Puck Line (-1.5) on Saturday night.
