00:00All of a sudden, I'm sitting back and I'm starting to wonder, is it the Bruins here?
00:06Elias Lindholm was invisible for parts of the year.
00:09Now the guy's a house of fire.
00:11Saka's a house of fire.
00:1213 seconds into the third period, rips a goal.
00:15And he's been hot.
00:16And I said this the other day, if you're going to get the goaltending, you're going to get scoring depth.
00:19And Lindholm feels like he's going a little bit.
00:21You've got to get Geeky going again.
00:22Maybe Higgins will join that line.
00:23Geeky's ice cold.
00:24He is.
00:25Yeah, yeah.
00:25But Lindholm's playing well.
00:27Yes.
00:27So if you have some scoring depth.
00:29Is it the middle stats playing well?
00:31Scoring depth on a hot goalie can take you a long way.
00:33Now, I don't know if they have enough on the back end.
00:35But if your goalie's going to bail them out and you're going to have some scoring depth, you can go
00:39a long way.
00:40And let me phrase it a different way.
00:42Who's playing better than them?
00:44Montreal's on a heater.
00:45Yeah, Montreal's a wagon right now.
00:48I mean, those are the two longest active winning streaks in the league.
00:52And back it up even further than that.
00:53Edmonton's won four in a row.
00:54Over the last month, month plus.
00:56Oh, right.
00:56Who's really playing better than them?
00:58So when I say, is it their year?
01:00Yeah.
01:01Like, would I pick them to win the cup?
01:02No, I'm not picking them to win the cup or predicting they're going to win the cup.
01:06But why can't, in this sport, where teams come out of nowhere and go on runs all the time, why
01:10can't it be this Bruins team?
01:12It can be.
01:13And obviously, I was completely wrong about them, the way they started the season.
01:17We were gagging for Gavin.
01:18We were taking a look at what's Penn State's schedule, and we're trying to figure that out.
01:22That's changed completely.
01:23They've played really well, especially this last month or so.
01:28And I don't know if it's just because you're looking at the AFC playoffs, the Patriots just went through, or
01:35the NBA Eastern Conference, which the Celtics are a few weeks away from going through in the playoffs.
01:40It's pretty wide open.
01:41There's no, like, juggernaut where you're like, well, if they run into Team X, like, yeah, you had a good
01:47season.
01:47Like, no, like, I would say Tampa Bay is the favorite and should be the favorite.
01:52They have a great goalie.
01:54They have one of the best players in the world, and they have, you know, history to fall back on.
02:00Outside of Tampa, though, I don't know.
02:02I give the Bruins a chance.
02:03And even then, I wouldn't say they have no chance, but, like, everybody else, I might even pick them.
