00:26A power play goal for the game winner.

00:29The Panthers strike first.

00:31It took over 60 minutes of hockey.

00:33The Panthers get it done.

00:35A huge win here in Columbus tonight.

00:371-0 the final in overtime.

00:39Wow.

00:40Yeah.

00:41Doug Plagan, man, that guy can call a game.

00:43He's good.

00:44And a fight for that.

00:45Oh, he can call a fight.

00:46I love when he calls a fight.

00:47It's the best.

00:48He can call a fight.

00:49Very entertaining.

00:50I'm telling you, he can call a fight.

00:52He really is a marvelous, marvelous broadcaster.

00:55Now yesterday, the Maple Leafs did beat the Rangers 4-3,

00:58so I believe they kept pace, as did the Lightning,

01:02who won in a shootout.

01:04So I believe we are tied right now amongst?

01:07Yeah, we're tied.

01:08We're tied with them.

01:10Yeah, it's 87 points.

01:12But we're ahead of them because we have two more wins.

01:15Right.

01:16But do they have games in hand?

01:17No.

01:18No, we are even at games.

01:19Even up.

01:20That's right.

01:21And we have two more against them toward the end of the season.

01:24This is going to be a hell of a race, Vlad.

01:26You got the Lightning are back just a couple of points there as well.

01:29This is going to be a fun little contest.

01:32That wild card win yesterday for the Blue Jackets,

01:35who are trying to make a little bit of a run ski on their own, right?

01:39But the Cats were able to get them yesterday.

01:42So that one puts them back to 71 points.

01:44You have Montreal in that final spot at 74.

01:47So that right there is where we stand.

01:50Of course, the big news yesterday also,

01:52Sergei Bobrovsky, his fifth shutout of the season.

01:56He's one away from tying his mark last year,

01:58and he has just been absolutely incredible against his former team,

02:02the Columbus Blue Jackets.

02:04We poached him.

02:05You want a couple of business over there, right?

02:07He comes over here because he was tired of freezing his ass off.

02:10And he poachers.

02:12We are some poachers.

02:14That's right.

02:15You got talent.

02:16We'll take it.

02:17Here was Sergei Bobrovsky talking about that.

02:19He took incredible focus against Columbus.

02:22Yeah, it was a great game.

02:23It was a playoff-style game.

02:25I thought the opponent played hard.

02:26The opponent played a good game.

02:28But we worked hard.

02:30We had a great focus, great concentration.

02:33We worked together.

02:34We worked tight, and we just grinded out.

02:36It's a big point for us.

02:38I like how he doesn't even refer to them as a team.

02:41He just calls them opponent.

02:43Yeah, they're his ops.

02:45That's why I like it.

02:46That's all Russian tough talk right there.

02:48We have opponents.

02:49We have opponents.

02:50Yeah, he says it like it's respectful, but not respectful.

02:54Right.

02:55I respect them, but I dislike them at the same time.

02:57You're just a blur to me.

02:58It doesn't even matter who you are.

03:00You're just in front of me, and I'm going to stop pucks.

03:02Do you see how furious he is?

03:03Because Columbus, they called original goal yesterday late.

03:07But it was a kick.

03:09He kicked it in, and Bob immediately was going to the ref.

03:12Going, hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm sorry.

03:15Is this messy on the ice?

03:18He was not dealing with that.

03:20This was Bob saying that he was in an incredible flow yesterday.

03:26This one was a good game.

03:28I had lots of action around my net.

03:30I was in the flow.

03:32I was in the game.

03:33It was a fun game to play that floater.

03:37I love that.

03:38That's another word for focus.

03:39Flow?

03:40He loves the four-letter words.

03:43I mean, the F words.

03:44He loves the F words.

03:45He does.

03:47Bruce Lee said, be water.

03:49Be flow.

03:50He says, go Lee.

03:52He says, be ice.

03:53Go Lee.

03:54That's what Bob says.

03:55Be ice, dude.

03:56That's his flow.

03:57Minus one.

03:58Why, dude?

03:59That's a good call.

04:00That's a good call there.

04:01That's a good call.

04:02Bob has also been incredible this month.

04:04But he doesn't want to hear about what his month has been like because he doesn't focus on months.

04:09You haven't had a game with more than two goals all month.

04:12I don't think about that.

04:14I focus on just one shot at a time.

04:17And every game, every opponent brings a different challenge.

04:21And I try to focus and bring my best to help the team, help the team to give the team a chance.

04:26All right.

04:27If we ain't played a game and we had to take a shot for every time.

04:33Oh, man.

04:35He said focus, opponent, flow.

04:39We'd be hammered.

04:41We'd be hammered, dude.

04:44I don't think about that.

04:45We wouldn't stand a chance.

04:46By the first time, we would be done.

04:49Done.

04:50We'd be like.

04:51This needs to be studied.

04:52It's like there's Mamba mentality.

04:54But this is like anytime I focus on anything, I will always think of Bob now.

04:58He's incredible.

04:59He's such a great mark of like the psycho athlete.

05:05Yeah.

05:06Because this man really is.

05:07Like he is a hockey samurai.

05:10He will not break whatever his focus or traditions or routine are.

05:16And listen, it speaks to his longevity.

05:19I mean, that's why the Panthers are so comfortable thinking that he's going to last.

05:24Because, I mean, he doesn't look like a guy slowing down.

05:27He's having another incredible season.

05:30They trust him in big moments.

05:32And they shipped Spencer Nighthawk for him.

05:35They're like, all right.

05:36See you, dude.

05:37You know what our boy Gus Forsling did yesterday?

05:39What did he do?

05:40Yeah.

05:41Yesterday, Gustav Forsling, friend of the show, he goes out there.

05:48And he hits a real piss whistle yesterday, Vlad.

05:53He had a 105.05 mile per hour slap shot in the first period.

05:59It said this was from NHL Public Relations.

06:03Marked the second hardest shot tracked by the NHL Edge era.

06:07That's since 2001-2002, which was Taige Thompson,

06:11which had a 106 mile an hour slap shot.

06:14So he just like he blasted one yesterday.

06:17Pretty cool.

06:18That's what happens.

06:19We knew that he was coming in with some serious.

06:21What happens when you get in the show?

06:22You just see the shot, too.

06:24He was like, here we go.

06:26Watch.

06:27You'll see 42.

06:28Was the shot stopped?

06:30Of course.

06:31Which is crazier.

06:33I'm saying, like, I'm more impressed by the guy that stopped the shot

06:36than the guy that shot it.

06:37That's got to hurt still.

06:39105 miles an hour.

06:41That's rough.

06:42Good God.

06:44Imagine that to the ankle.

06:45Oh, no.

06:47Oh, yeah.

06:48He would have been like.

06:49Yeah, I think, look, man, the golden touch of the show continues.

06:55It does.

06:56That's another person.

06:57So the jinx has been reversed.

07:00I think so.

07:01It's definitely a good thing to come on.

07:02I feel like we should not talk about it that much.

07:04It continues going.

07:05Be cool.

07:06Be cool.

07:07Or maybe Leroy's the jinx.

07:08Hard to say.

07:09Because he interviewed him.

07:11Yeah.
