00:00Washington and Winnipeg, they're like the number one and number two teams in the National

00:03Hockey League, as far as like the President's Cup is concerned.

00:07But we've said this in the past, you don't want to be the best team in a regular season

00:12in the NHL.

00:13It's a kiss of death.

00:16A team has not won the President's Cup, like having the most points in a regular season

00:21and the Stanley Cup in 11 years' time, all right?

00:24And it's few and far between even before that.

00:27If you're the best team in the NHL in a regular season, it's almost a lock.

00:31You're not going to win the Stanley Cup.

00:34I would tank.

00:35If I was the Winnipeg Jets, like I'm on the verge of being the one seed in all this, people

00:41talk about, you know, the home ice advantage.

00:45Home ice advantage.

00:46The home ice advantage in what?

00:48So we're going to worry about a game seven of the Stanley Cup here.

00:50I'd rather like just not be the one seed and get away from the curse.

00:54We'll bench everybody.

00:56So the Capitals and the Winnipeg Jets in action and all eyes are on Olvey as, what, he's seven

01:02away right now coming into tonight's hockey game, looking to break Wayne Gretzky's record.

01:08It looks like he's going to do it.

01:11If you're in the NHL, you're almost better off if he doesn't, right, and it just carries

01:15over into next year and, you know, you can sort of get, you know, more publicity out

01:19of this next year.

01:21But chances are he probably will.

01:24They still have quite a few games left.

01:26There's enough games for him to get it done.

01:28He doesn't have the goal tonight.

01:32They're losing 2-1.

01:33The Winnipeg Jets are up 2-1 right now, midway through the third period of play.
