00:00What the matter is, what the problem is, fans don't pay money for road games.

00:11They're watching those games on TV and they get frustrated when they spend 400 bucks for

00:16a ticket, $70 to park and another three, $400 on food and drink, and they drop a thousand

00:22dollars to go to a regular season hockey game and the team loses, right?

00:28And then they watch them on TV and they win all the time and it's like, man, and then

00:32they go.

00:33And, you know, people get frustrated with that, but it is a great point you raised and

00:36I was thinking the same thing.

00:37I'm like, man, if I was the Canucks and Quinn Hughes was talking about it, stating that

00:41I saw an interview with him during the period and that was already pre-taped, but he said

00:46that he can sort of tell, he goes, I can sort of see we're about to turn a corner here.

00:51And he said, don't be surprised over the next like couple of weeks before Christmas if we

00:55get hot.

00:57And he was talking about every year is different and the chemistry of the team and the identity

01:01of the team.

01:02And he was talking about still trying to figure it out.

01:05And the Canucks GM brought it up during the intermission, actually, too, and he admitted

01:08it.

01:09And I said the same thing earlier in the season.

01:11I said, the Canucks are just cock, right?

01:14They were really good last year, start off the season, hey, we're the Vancouver Canucks.

01:17We're going to be great again.

01:19They needed to be like pushed around a little bit to be reminded, hey, you're not that good.

01:24Like you're good if you work hard.

01:26But as I stated, they're losing all these one-on-one battles all the time that they

01:30were winning last year.

01:32They're starting to dig down deep a little bit and the success on the road, big, big

01:36win for them in Boston.

01:38It's always nice to beat the Boston Bruins and then Utah beat the Montreal Canadiens

01:44tonight camp.
