00:00Devils and Canes in Raleigh, Senators and Leafs at Scotiabank in Toronto, and the Wild and Vegas in Sin City at the T-Mobile on the Strip.
00:11Let's start with the Devils and Canes in Raleigh.
00:13No one at all on the face of the earth is giving the Devils any chance at all.
00:20And that started when Hughes went down.
00:22Not now.
00:23It was a month ago when they said, oh, they're finished.
00:27Do I have to watch the series?
00:30Do I have to?
00:30I guess I have to.
00:32Well, I'm going to watch it.
00:33You know, we got to have somebody around here to root for.
00:37That's true.
00:38No, Carolina's going to win.
00:40Just Jack Hughes being out, that's a huge thing for them.
00:43And, yeah, I just don't like the way they're playing down the stretch.
00:45Now, to get back Dougie Hamilton, I just think that's too massive of a loss.
00:49And Carolina is playing better down the stretch.
00:52I just think they're the better team top to bottom, primarily because of Jack Hughes' injury.
00:55So, I'd say Carolina, what, in six games?
00:58I'll give Devils a couple of wins.
01:00Maybe Markstrom gets them one.
01:02Maybe their power play gets them one.
01:03But they can't be the favorite, and I don't see them emerging to the second round.
01:06So, Marenzi was on here today, and he literally said that the Toronto Maple Leafs are going
01:13to win the Stanley Cup, and they're playing the Senators Sunday at Scotiabank in Toronto.
01:20I won't deny they've been playing better.
01:22I won't deny they've been winning close games.
01:24I won't deny they've been winning overtime games.
01:27I won't deny they won the division.
01:29Will they lose again in the playoffs?
01:32Tell Gabe that it's Ottawa in six.
01:34Yeah, they're going to lose again.
01:36How can you trust that team?
01:37Right?
01:38I don't know, but they're goaltending.
01:39You know, Wall and Stoller.
01:40Stoller's was backing up Bobrovsky in Florida last year.
01:43That's not why they won the Cup.
01:44No, there's something.
01:45And, Scotty, you know what the season series between these two teams were?
01:49Ottawa won 4-0.
01:51They're confident.
01:52I don't know about Brady, but it's funny.
01:55Those teams like Ottawa and Detroit and Buffalo, they're on the same group, and one team made
01:58the playoffs.
01:59Guess why?
02:00They went and got a freaking goaltender.
02:02Linus Olmark.
02:03I like the upset here.
02:05I think it's the livest underdog of the four, or the lower seed, of the four in
02:09the East.
02:10I don't like any other lower seeds to win.
02:12I'm going to pick Ottawa in this series.
02:14And that's that Olmark from Boston, right?
02:17Right.
02:18Exactly.
02:18Yep.
02:19Yep.
02:19And look what happened to Boston when he left.
02:21It's not so easy for, you know, eight million.
02:23One guy getting eight million to carry a team couldn't happen.
02:26Right.
02:27And now you got a wild and nights on Sunday night in sin city.
02:33Do the wild have a shot against this team?
02:35That's won five division titles in eight years in Vegas.
02:40No, it's going to, the nights are going to say an early good night to the wild.
02:44It's a sweep.
02:45They're not going to win a game.
02:46And I know they got back the breeze off and Erickson act.
02:49No, no, that's, that's Scotty.
02:51That's why you win the division.
02:52Like if Vegas didn't win the division, they'd have to play Edmonton or LA.
02:56Now they get the wild.
02:57That's a breeze.
02:58If they played St.
02:59Louis, that would be a tough one.
03:00They got the easiest draw on the East.
03:02I think it's a sweep, maybe one game in Minnesota, but they don't play that game at home either.
03:06So that's a breeze for Vegas.
03:07That's a big advantage going into the next round against the window of Edmonton and LA.
03:10All right.
03:11So I want to, you already said the Capitals aren't playing well, but you're going to take
03:16them over the Canadians, aren't you?
03:17And then tell me what you think of the Kings.
03:20Finally, after three straight, whatever it is, losses to the Oilers in the playoffs, they
03:25face them again.
03:26What's going to happen?
03:27Well, this is the year, Scotty.
03:29It's got to happen this year.
03:30They're better.
03:31They're bigger.
03:31And they're better because not only did they get their butts kicked by the Oilers last
03:36year in five games, they got bullied.
03:37Not this year.
03:38Last year, the fourth line center was 5'9", and 175.
03:41This year, Sammy Hellenis, he's 6'6", and 205.
03:44The guy next to him is Jeff Ballott.
03:46He's 6'5", 200.
03:47And his brother's a UFC fighter.
03:49They're a better, deeper team.
03:50Quentin Byfield's now a center.
03:51He drives his own line.
03:53They have three deep.
03:53And the injury to Matthias Ekholm, that's the deciding factor for me.
03:57They don't play great defense this season.
03:59And without Ekholm and the Oilers, I don't know how they match up defensively against Kings
04:03that go now three lines deep.
04:05And the Caps win?
04:06Caps win the F5.
