00:00I wanted to ask you about that Canucks game as well last night.

00:03There's no reason for them to be winning.

00:06Their season's over.

00:07I've heard Besser's out of there.

00:09But you keep telling me that they won't quit and they keep, you know,

00:12they had the three-goal comeback with a minute left in the game the other night.

00:16You said they're as loose as a goose.

00:18And I was like, there's no way they're winning that game in Denver.

00:21And then they did.

00:23Yeah, you know, Scott, there's different.

00:25I know it sounds crazy.

00:26And yesterday you got a chuckle out of it.

00:28And I know for people tuning in probably thinking, he just said this team is out of it

00:31and they don't care.

00:32And then he told us how the Canucks were out of it.

00:34But he likes the Canucks tonight.

00:36There's different types of out of it, right?

00:39There's some rooms in which, you know, the room implodes and it's a lost cause

00:43and people just want to get out of there.

00:45And there's other, you know, other rooms where they've sort of stuck together.

00:50The Canucks have had a lot of friction this year and drama, but they play hard on the ice.

00:55You know, and they, you know, another thing is too, I saw a stat about them.

00:58The Canucks are like 16 and five or something, Scott, like the last 21 games where they've

01:03been eliminated.

01:05So it's another thing too.

01:07You know, one thing, last thing about the Canucks, they're not a bad team, right?

01:11There's seven games over 500, right?

01:13They're in a very, very difficult division.

01:15They're in a super tough Western conference.

01:18If the Vancouver Canucks were an Eastern conference, we'd be talking about them playing,

01:21going into the playoffs right now.

01:22They're not, it is what it is.

01:25They had a tough year, but they're not a bad team, right?

01:28I know people were frustrated with them and it's a frustrating season for them.

01:32The flames are still mathematically alive and they get the wild tonight, you know, absolutely

01:38pivotal game and a wild play to Canucks tomorrow.

01:41So this is a spot now for the Calgary flames where they, you know, they can win and they're

01:46seeing the Canucks winning late right now.

01:48So the flames are still alive, but I tell you what, it's just a gut feel tonight, Scott.

01:53And I've been betting on the flames a lot this year.

01:57And this is another team too, where ton of heart, not a ton of talent.

02:01They remind me of last year's Vancouver team.

02:03They just sort of play hard.

02:04They get good goaltending.

02:05How are they going to make up five points when you got teams like the wild and blues that

02:11still win games?

02:13Well, you're playing them tonight, right?

02:15So there's two points.

02:16This, this is it.

02:18Yeah.

02:18This, this is it.

02:19That's why I'm saying this game is so critical tonight.

02:22It's basically like a playoff eliminator for the Calgary flames.

02:26You're five down.

02:27You're playing the team right now.

02:28They win tonight.

02:30They cut it to three.

02:31Boom.

02:31Minnesota wild play in Vancouver tomorrow night, back to back.

02:35The flames have to pray that the Canucks actually show up.

02:38Although this is a type of spot where the Canucks won't show up.

02:41They're coming off a nice big win.

02:43They're playing at home and they'll let their fans down.

02:47The classic.

02:48If the flames lose tonight and they go seven down, it's over.

02:54They're done.

02:55Yeah, they're done.

02:55They need to win tonight.

02:57And this could happen for them.

02:59There's still a couple of games left.

03:00Minnesota have a tricky schedule down the stretch here.

03:02So tonight's a pivotal, really, really cool game.

03:05And Ottawa, Montreal is pretty big tonight too.

03:08The game's actually a pretty big in Eastern Conference tonight as well.

03:11Uh, in the NHL.

03:12Who do you like in that, uh, Montreal game in Ottawa?

03:17Oh boy.

03:18I know it's hard.

03:19Six in a row.

03:20Six in a row for the blue, blue, blue, rouge.

03:23So I hate doing this, but I think the senators are going to get it done.
