00:00Like, they came into tonight five points out of a playoff spot, and the injuries, it's,

00:05you know, is it their fault that they're in the spot that they're in, partially, right?

00:10You are what your record says you are, but at the same point in time, it's been one constant

00:14injury after another.

00:16And Demko, every time he comes back, in his first games, he's not great.

00:21Vancouver just scored.

00:23He's not great when he comes back.

00:26So it's like, oh boy, they're going to have to, like, go through his struggles again,

00:30like to get him back.

00:31But the thing is, Lankanen is sick.

00:34And Lankanen is overworked.

00:36Like he wasn't decided to be the number one goalie, he was in the World Cup or the Four

00:40Nations or whatever.

00:42It's caught up to him.

00:43You can tell.

00:44Like, Lankanen looks slow.

00:45Now he's physically ill.

00:47And like Talk had said, we don't really have a choice.

00:49Like Demko, like, had to come back earlier than we wanted.

00:53And then, oh yeah, they sent home Pedersen.

00:57And they sent home Hoaglander.

00:59They're not even with the team.

01:01So now they're missing, like, so many of their best players.

01:04I figured, oh boy.

01:06And the doubles were only minus 140.

01:09It was almost a trap, Cam, actually.
