00:04 But tonight we could say this is the game of the night.

00:07 Why? Because of the Sharks.

00:08 0-10 on the season, which include, I mean, 10 is the key number here.

00:12 Let's lose 10 games.

00:14 Let's give up repeated 10 goal games against us here.

00:17 Talking about the Flyers and the Sharks tonight.

00:19 Do we see another blowout?

00:21 Or do the Sharks show up in the Shark tank and get a W tonight against the Flyers?

00:27 It would say a lot about the Flyers if they don't have a complete blowout.

00:30 It really would.

00:33 I mean, the one thing the Flyers are so entertaining with is their physicality.

00:38 Of course, to some extent, some people might think it's overkill.

00:42 You got Giger Hathaway, who's just a heavyweight on the ice.

00:44 It's terrible that anybody thinks it's a good idea to get in a fight with the guy.

00:47 But I've been a big fan of Travis Kotkaniemi for a couple years now.

00:52 I thought he should have been in the All-Star competition.

00:55 He's in, leading the charge for the Flyers right now.

00:57 So what a game that he can just fully take possession of and go off on.

01:02 I think he's got nine goals on the season, two power play goals.

01:05 The Sharks team, they have no special teams.

01:07 They've got absolutely no defense.

01:09 They're forced to play on their heels for almost 60 minutes of hockey.

01:11 I've seen it live.

01:12 It's just like it's a mess in their D zone.

01:15 There's no communicating back there.

01:16 There's no saving this team.

01:18 So if the Flyers can't come in and have themselves a game, Kotkaniemi being one of them,

01:23 Tippett, another high shot volume guy, this team has all the power to at least have six

01:28 goals tonight versus the Sharks team.

01:30 That's going to take some time to figure out what's going on because every single player

01:34 on that roster is sitting in the negative column and not by like negative three, four

01:38 or five.

01:39 I mean, almost double digits a piece, which means they're just constantly getting scored

01:42 on.

01:43 San Jose has lost their last two games by a combined score of 20 to three.

01:48 Casey, they are the underdogs at home tonight in Northern California.

01:53 If the Sharks lose this game, it would be the worst ever start in NHL history.

01:58 The only team ever in the history of the National Hockey League to have zero wins in their first

02:05 12 games.
