00:00 Pete, before, despite the Panthers being the favorites to win this series outright, many people expected this to be competitive, maybe even go the full duration of seven games, with Florida taking game number one in Madison Square Garden. Has it changed your outlook at all and how long you think this series goes?
00:19 I mean, maybe if Florida wins the series, it could go shorter than I thought it would. I was leaning Rangers in six because of the home ice and the fact that, you know, traditionally they have had a lot of blue shirts in the building down in Florida and Florida has looked a little shaky at points this postseason, even though they beat the Lightning in five.
00:42 If that game two overtime game goes a different bounce in, you know, Kucherov's way or Stamkos' way, we would have been talking about a lengthy series. And they, I think they struggled to close out the Boston Bruins as well in that series, dropping a couple of home games.
00:58 So it doesn't change my view too much. I still think the Rangers have a great chance to win this series. And maybe it's an opportunity where this team that was, you know, arguably disrespected in the odds market as the fourth team out of four entering the postseason, you could get a slightly longer number on them as of now after dropping game one at home.
