00:00The only thing you've got that you go into this saying,
00:02we're better than them, is we have a better goalie than they have.
00:05That's it. That's the one thing.
00:06And that's really where it changes.
00:07That's the one thing.
00:08That's really where in that sport it changes.
00:09I don't think it's going to make enough of a difference.
00:13Can I play something from Felger yesterday and see how you guys react?
00:15Okay, please. Have at it.
00:17Thoughts on their season?
00:18I think it was a pretty decent little season for them.
00:21I'm not going to go overboard.
00:22I mean, they're the F and 7 seed.
00:25So, given the fact that they totally,
00:27they did not totally dismantle their roster.
00:30It's not that they went, you know,
00:31some fans thought they were doing this, like, complete long rebuild.
00:33No.
00:34They still kept their franchise goalie, their franchise defenseman,
00:37and their franchise, you know, elite scoring winger.
00:41It's hard to finish in dead last
00:42when you've got those pieces down the spine of your roster.
00:46Never mind, you added NHL caliber players.
00:49And you have, like, a second tier of NHL caliber players,
00:52whether it's guys who I don't love,
00:54but, like, Elias Lindholm and Hampus Lindholm and Pavel Zaka.
00:58And, like, there's just too much there for you to totally suck.
01:01You should never have totally sucked.
01:03So, congratulations.
01:04You didn't totally suck.
01:05I, you know, let's not go overboard with,
01:08because I feel there's sort of, like, this undercard of, like,
01:11look at what they accomplished.
01:12I don't want to expect this.
01:13Well, really?
01:13You never could have expected that they'd be a wild card,
01:16that they were the 7 seed?
01:17Wow.
01:17You never could have.
01:18Yes, you could have.
01:20This is exactly where they should be.
01:21I don't think they overachieved.
01:23I think they met expectations.
01:24I don't think they exceeded them.
01:27Well, I would say it depends on whose expectations.
01:32I wasn't sure they'd be a playoff team.
01:35So, I thought they'd be right on the,
01:37what did we say at the start of the year?
01:38Yeah, they'll be in contention for a playoff spot.
01:41So, it's not absurd that they then took one of those playoff spots
01:44and that they're a wild card team.
01:46I didn't predict they'll be in the playoffs
01:48and they should get there.
01:50But I do think it's fair to say that those were expectations
01:53that they certainly had set for themselves
01:55and plenty of fans said they would be in.
01:57I mean, pretty much everybody was in that ballpark.
01:59Yeah, they'll be right around being on the fringe.
