00:00Hey, man, I mean, this series between the Canadians and the Bolts,
00:04overtimes, and boy, I'll tell you, St. Louis, man,
00:08has that team playing bully hockey right now.
00:11Are you surprised they're up 2-1 in this series?
00:14I'm not.
00:15I actually have them, Dan, as over a 2-1 dog.
00:18I'm telling you, Dobish has been improved between the pipes too.
00:21You got Hudson, you got all these other guys.
00:23Underrated speed is the Montreal Canadiens, right?
00:26Slikovsky, these idiots, Dan, oh, what a bust.
00:30Yeah, three goals in a playoff game against the Tampa Bay Lightning?
00:33The guy's fighting people?
00:35It's crazy.
00:36Great call by you.
00:37Martin St. Louis rolls out, guys.
00:39Guys are stepping up.
00:40They're a small team, but they're a tough team as well.
00:42They're very, very gritty.
00:44They're very, very good in the corners, and they grind.
00:46Like, I'm telling you, this Montreal-Tampa Bay series,
00:49the Lightning are a fantastic hockey team.
00:51They're getting a little bit long in the tooth.
00:53And the Montreal Canadiens are that young dog, and you know what I mean?
00:57It's like two pit bulls going.
00:58This other one's a killer, but the Montreal Canadiens,
01:01I got to give them all the credit in the world.
01:03This is coming from a guy in Toronto, born just outside of Toronto.
01:07And we'll talk about the other series too.
01:09I had people, oh, Dan, I went to my buddy's house for a barbecue last night.
01:13Some of these guys, we watch golf, we bet golf, and some of them hate hockey.
01:17Okay?
01:17And then I tell them, I got money on this Minnesota Wild-Dallas game.
01:21I bet he's like, anything for you, Cam.
01:23They had girls that have never watched a game.
01:25We're watching this game going, they're like, what the hell?
01:28I go, it's like, these guys are unbelievable.
01:30They'll play with broken legs.
01:32They'll play with a, you know, their foot's mangled up.
01:34They're in front of the net.
01:35Foligno's goal was amazing, the overtime.
01:38And Ottinger, like, those goalies were standing on their head, Dan.
01:41Like, if you don't like playoff hockey, ah, yeah, there's no hope for you.
01:44Like, it's just one of those things, playoff hockey is a different animal.
01:48Other sports, NBA playoffs, sure, Super Bowl's one game.
01:51But the level from a regular season hockey game to a playoff series is nuts.
01:57Absolutely.
01:57And as you said, what the Canadians are doing to Vazileski,
02:01and you're getting those pucks by him,
02:03and the bolt's not playing good on the blue line there,
02:06it just shows you here.
02:07Hey, real quick here, are you surprised what the Hurricanes did to Ottawa?
02:11Or was that, was that, were you not surprised?
02:14I wasn't really surprised.
02:15And I thought it was a great matchup for Carolina, Dan.
02:18Remember, this team always top of the food chain and gets knocked out early.
02:22It's a great match for them.
02:23Ottawa has some great talent on their team.
02:25Tim Stutzla, they got other guys, but they're just not ready yet.
02:29The Carolina Hurricanes have veterans.
02:31They have great guys, like, great goal scorers in Ajo.
02:34Battlers, Jarvis, a good two-way player.
02:36That's the thing about Carolina is, they kind of check the boxes in every area.
02:39The only question is, what's Freddie Anderson going to do?
02:42And I can tell you, watching a million Leaf games,
02:44he'll let in a garbage goal, but he'll also make, like, 20 spectacular saves.
02:48And right now, he's zoned in.
02:50That's bad news for all the other teams in the Eastern Conference.
02:53I think Carolina, this is the year they could go to the Eastern Final.
02:56If I saw a Carolina-Buffalo final, Dan, I'd lose my mind.
02:59It'd be great.
