THE BROADWAY BRIEF | January 21, 2026

Tuesday was a clean reminder of why process beats vibes.

Not a sweep.
A process win.

3–2 on the card, and every result made sense inside the read.

✅ Lightning ML
✅ Kings ML
✅ MSU / Oregon UNDER

❌ Oilers ML
❌ Wyoming / Boise OVER

The wins came where structure held...fatigue edges, pace suppression, class gaps that never collapsed. The losses weren’t breakdowns. They were margins...one spot where rest didn’t translate, one total that died by the hook.

That’s variance, not failure.

The record continues to reflect the work:
82–56 overall (59.4%) 📊

And that brings us to today.

Today’s Brief isn’t about chasing Tuesday or forcing volume. It’s about environments where scoring refuses to compress and the market keeps pricing totals as if control is coming.

Across hockey and college hoops, the common thread is the same:
Pace stays upright.
Efficiency carries forward.
And numbers lag behind reality.

These aren’t “need a shootout” plays.
They’re structural overs — built on repeatable league behavior, not hope.

The process held Tuesday.
It doesn’t need to change today.

Let’s get into it.
