00:00Paul, you mentioned, you know, you didn't feel confident at the end.
00:02Despite the game that Colton Ellis played,
00:04and he played a really strong game, kept him in it,
00:06and he might have wasted it,
00:08did he earn more spots in this rotation?
00:11And, you know, would you say that the rotation they ultimately get to
00:15whenever they get to it, that we couldn't predict it right now,
00:18that it's got to play out?
00:19Yeah, I was wondering if we are into the rotation now.
00:23You know, because, you know,
00:25Lucanen played very well in Los Angeles, but Ellis gets the start.
00:29So I thought, because I was thinking to myself,
00:32and I think I mentioned it, that I think maybe they're into the rotation now.
00:35And Lindy Ruff said both goaltenders are going to have to play with six games
00:38in 11 days.
00:39And I thought he really wanted, I think he's wanted to get to rotation.
00:44He just hasn't gotten there yet.
00:47So I had wondered if, I mean,
00:50Ellis certainly played well enough to earn the next start.
00:52There's no question about that.
00:54But if Lindy Ruff really thinks, all right,
00:57a rotation is what did us well last year.
01:00Let's start with it, and let's get going with it.
01:02And let's see where it takes us.
01:05But the other thing to think about, too, is they've lost four out of five at home.
01:11And you can trace it back.
01:13They're not scoring goals at home.
01:14I mean, they got shut out at home.
01:16They had one goal against Philadelphia.
01:19They had one goal in this game.
01:20I believe there was another one at home they had one goal.
01:25And the first two games they did, they won the first two games,
01:28I think they had seven goals in the first two games at home.
01:31Since then, they just, for whatever reason,
01:35are not putting the puck in.
01:36And playing goaltenders that come in with pretty lousy records.
01:40I mean, Urson did not have good numbers.
01:43I think he had won one out of seven, if I'm not mistaken.
01:46But you didn't make them play.
01:50You just let them pretty much stand down there.
01:53I mean, any goaltender could have played that way.
01:57I mean, there weren't guys around them all that much other than their goals.
