00:00Uh, the Islanders are hot and they've won five in a row and they got a big game tonight in

00:06Philadelphia against the Flyers. I like them to win their sixth in a row. Carver High mentioned

00:14they'd jump a couple teams in the East. Are you buying into what you're seeing of late from your

00:20Islanders? I don't know how they're doing it. Their defense is beat up to crap, right? I mean,

00:26they're down three regular defensemen here. I mean, you sign Tony D'Angelo, let you know how

00:30desperate they are. That's not a Lou Lamorello guy at all, but they signed him. You trade for

00:35Perunovich. They are playing well. Now I was, I was, wasn't on them the other day versus Colorado.

00:39I thought Colorado would take advantage of that bad defense, but no, uh, I am on them tonight.

00:43Philadelphia played last night. So you're getting on the second half of back-to-back nights. Sorokin

00:47is a net. Wanted to make sure of that. Uh, Sorokin is a net here and they're playing well right now.

00:52They're, they're playing better. Best hockey they've played all season long. I don't think

00:56that's going to amount to anything. This is a tease. This is going to a strip club. This is all

01:00this is. It's a tease because sooner or later, they're going to go back to the team. They should

01:03be here, but they're going to play just what just well enough where they're either going to trade in

01:07a huge mistake or they're not going to trade for you. It's like Nelson at Palm Mary. So as an Islander

01:11fan, I'm, I'm upset too, but for a different reason, cause they're winning when they shouldn't

01:14be winning here. But I do like them tonight. I think they'll take care of Philadelphia.

01:19Carver. I was right when he told me that like, uh, when they have like a Monday night game

01:24and they're playing the, the jackets that nobody goes and the players don't like seeing an empty

01:30arena, this fancy arena they play in, but who would walk around the corner on a Monday night

01:35to see that, uh, when they weren't winning now that they're winning all of a sudden,

01:40do you think it'll start filling up again at the horse track?

01:44You know, the funniest thing I wouldn't say they were, they weren't selling out early in

01:47the season, but they were, you know, seats were decently full, 80%, whatever it was.

01:51They played Colorado the other night. I mean, that's McKinnon, McCarr and, you know,

01:55Carver and I were on Carver and Lacey. We're watching the game. There were a lot of people

01:58dressed as empty seats in that game. So, uh, I would hope they are playing better here,

02:03but I think a lot of fans have the same apathy that Carver and I have that once again,

02:08they're not fun to watch Scotty. It's a boring team. I mean, there's no great offensive player

02:12here. They don't play with any kind of speed here. They have no power play whatsoever.

02:16So like I said, it's a hard team to watch and get up for. Plus I think if you're a true hockey

02:21fan, you realize, Scotty, even if they get into the playoffs, there'll be a wild card team and

02:25they'll get trounced by whoever wins the, you know, Florida, you know, or Carolina Devils

02:30will be in hell. The Rangers will beat them up, you know? So what are you hoping for? What does

02:34that do for you to make the wildcard? You're a middling team. You're in middling health.

02:38Are you buying that the Devils could go on a run?

02:43I think they're dangerous. I mean, who's better, who's demonstrably better than the Devils.

02:48Carolina's good, but I would say demonstrably better. All right. You know, the Rangers,

02:52I think are still a dangerous team and they'll make another move. I agree with you. I agree

02:56with you. I think they're going to make a mark. I think you're right. I think they're,

03:00I think you're right. They're a team. If they only finished like in seventh place on a wildcard.

03:05Oh, I would be just thrilled to win the Atlanta, go win the Metro and you got to play the Rangers

03:09round one. Isn't that just great. You're still like out West where you live in division. Oh,

03:13you got the Colorado round one. Oh, there's a joy, you know? So I think the Rangers are

03:18dangerous here, but Carolina, the Devils, Florida, I think they're all sort of in that mixy. Whoever

03:23makes the best moves by the deadline on March 7th could be the favorite here. But to answer your

03:27question, I do like the Devils, especially if Markstrom comes back healthy. Yeah. And he got

03:32banged up in the crease, but I think the Oilers, I still buy them that they're going to be tougher

03:37this year in the playoffs. A lot of people think they're going to run out of gas. I don't,

03:41I think they're going to be really dangerous again in the playoffs.
