00:00the Heart Trophy and the MVPs, Dave,

00:02because me and you talked when we first started

00:05getting together on the show a few weeks ago

00:06about Kaprizov, Kirill the Thrill in Minnesota.

00:09Minnesota has tailed off, which means he's tailed off

00:12down the board.

00:13I know everyone loves McKinnon,

00:15but if the Oilers run away and hide again in the Pacific

00:18and be the number one seed in the West,

00:21you gotta tell me they're not gonna give it to McDavid,

00:23because they love giving it to McDavid,

00:24and you're still getting three to one.

00:26It's no question they're giving it to McDavid.

00:28If he starts doing what he does,

00:31and that corresponds with the Oilers getting right,

00:35winning more games.

00:36I mean, they caught the Knights in the division,

00:39and they've been playing good hockey, the Knights.

00:42So I watched that game last night, Mike.

00:45It was three-nothing Colorado

00:47before they ended the first period,

00:49and Edmonton chipped away, chipped away, chipped away,

00:52got a late goal, won the game four-three.

00:55I felt like they dominated the third period.

00:59They moved the puck on that power play.

01:01It was an exceptional hockey game.

01:04It went over the total.

01:07Yeah.

01:08Look at that list again.

01:09That hard trophy list.

01:12Kaprizov was fun to talk about.

01:15He's not gonna be on that list much longer.

01:17He's not gonna be on that list much longer.

01:20It is what it is, you know.

01:22They've just been, you know,

01:23they've kind of slipped back now.

01:25I think that Minnesota's now moved

01:27seven points back of Winnipeg in the central.

01:31They're still in second place,

01:32but for a guy like Kaprizov to win,

01:35Minnesota's gotta win the division, I think, at minimum.

01:37At minimum, they'd have to win the division

01:40as good as he's been.

01:42It's hard to crack, you know,

01:43you gotta have an exceptional year

01:44because they have their favorites,

01:46and they're there at the top.

01:48McDavid and McKinnon are their favorites,

01:51and Dreisaitl as well.

01:52They love giving those guys.

01:53Forget Hellebuck, enough with that,

01:55because, you know,

01:56you know what bothers me about Hellebuck, Dave?

01:58Every year, he wins the Vazna, he's the best goal.

02:01He gets rung up in the playoffs every single year.

02:06That guy's got a big monkey on his back

02:08that he has to absolutely eliminate

02:10when we get to the match.
