00:03 - So this hockey game tonight, listen,
00:05 there's been a lot of talk, a lot of hype,
00:07 a lot of bad blood, like the last 48 hours
00:10 just been nothing but complaining.
00:12 And I've been part of it at times as well,
00:15 but everybody's getting involved in this right now.
00:19 And there was a lot of talk,
00:21 oh, the Oilers are gonna do this,
00:22 and they're gonna do that,
00:23 and they're gonna try to send a message.
00:25 They came out, they played the body a little bit,
00:28 then they took a dumb penalty,
00:29 Vancouver couldn't do anything on the power play,
00:31 but it's been pretty uneventful.
00:34 There's too much on the line right now.
00:36 If this was a regular season game,
00:39 then there would have been a brawl by now.
00:42 You know what I'm saying?
00:43 They don't like each other, but nobody scored.
00:46 It's the first period of a pivotal playoff game.
00:49 There's no time for personal grudges right now.
00:52 This is the type of stuff you store for next year,
00:56 or you wait until it's near the end of the series,
00:58 and you know you're about to lose, right?
01:00 The general code though in hockey,
01:02 if you get lit up in the playoffs,
01:05 is not to do it late in the series if you're losing.
01:08 That's deemed as kind of classless,
01:10 because then you're just trying to get the dude suspended
01:12 or something after,
01:13 or you're trying to hurt somebody on the way out.
01:16 You know, I'm just telling you,
01:17 the unwritten code is somebody lights you up,
01:19 you don't like something that happened to you,
01:21 you've got a grudge, and it happened in the playoffs,
01:24 you wait until the following year.
01:26 And preseason is fair game.
01:29 Remember?
