00:00We'll start with the Toronto Maple Leafs, who, of course, I had to listen to everybody around

00:05Thursday and Friday telling us, ah, you know, they're right, the typical Leafs,

00:09going to lose to the Sens in the first round, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:13Not this year. Leafs 6-2, game number one, Mitch Marner getting involved on Sportsnet.

00:20Sits the line, Jensen, trying to bump it back, ahead, lead, home three, Mitch Marner scores!

00:30Oh, the horn. The horn.

00:33You know, didn't Marenzi say they're going to win the Stanley Cup on this show?

00:37I think he did.

00:37Marenzi did. A couple, Denny thought they could lose.

00:41I have somebody else, maybe somewhere else, told them they were going to lose.

00:45I know, most people doubt him, but I think Gabe was the one that said he's taking them to win it all.

00:49He's taking them to win it all, but, you know, you saw last night, just,

00:54I don't think the series is going to go. I don't think they're going to win it all,

00:58but I don't think they're stubbing their toe against that team.

01:01They are so much more talented than Ottawa.

01:03They got a lucky draw, they're playing this team, but that team was 4-0 against them, so much for that.

01:07Yeah, but that's like regular seasons, just, who cares?

01:11Like, what matters is when you get down in the playoffs.

01:14They've been losing enough in the playoffs that, and the Senators haven't been here in forever.

01:18Leafs take a 1-0 series lead.

01:20Yeah, they're pros in losing series, the Leafs. They got it down to a science.

01:24They are, but they're not going to lose this one.

01:27Also last night, Vegas got themselves underway, a 4-2 win over the Wild.

01:32Now, you mentioned this earlier, that was very significant, that empty netter that some say was their .1.

01:42Did that count? Did that actually get across the line before the game was over?

01:47I know, you know, Bob on the air was like, ah, it doesn't matter to you.

01:51It matters to a lot of people. You're talking the over and the puck line made a big difference on that play at the end,

01:58but they did count it 4-2. Vegas beats the Wild.

02:02I love this guy, Dorofiev, getting involved with the goal on ESPN.

02:07...season. This, their first of the playoffs, brought to you by Dell Technologies.

02:12Theodore with room. Take the shot. Score!

02:14Theodore tees up Dorofiev, who roots it. Vegas has the lead.

02:21Bob.

02:21I think, yeah, Bob with shoes on.

02:23Your boy, I think this team can, here's another one that can win the Stanley Cup.

02:30They mean business. They're good.

02:31And I think that they also got, they got a great draw, and I kind of feel like they've flown under the radar like the whole year.

02:43All everybody talks about is Colorado and Dallas and Winnipeg won the President's Trophy,

02:49and Edmonton's got McDavid and Drysaddle.

02:51I feel like Vegas is just, like, going to kind of sneak in the back door here and go, oh, look, we're...

02:57Pacific title in eight years, and no one mentions them like they even exist.

03:02And before you know it, they might be in their third Stanley Cup final appearance in eight years.

03:07That's right.

03:07A couple weeks from now, if they continue to go the way that they are.

03:10The Canes beat the Devils 4-1 yesterday. That game was...

03:14That was the worst game I've ever seen in my life.

03:18Horrible. It was horrible, that game.

03:22I tried. I tried to do it for a little while, and it was so bad.

03:28The Canes...

03:28It makes me reconsidered if I think that the Devils are even going to win a game in the series.

03:33It honestly made me reconsider it.

03:36I thought that they would, that no one expects them to do anything.

03:40They have no chance, and they're awful, all the rest.

03:43And then they played exactly like all of the above.

03:46Like, they are so bad in that game that I...

03:51Literally now, they have to get swept.

03:53I don't even think they can win at home.

03:56They're pathetic. They can't score.

03:58They don't even shoot the puck.

04:01I think it'll be a gentleman's sweep.

04:02I think the Devils will get one game at the Rock.

04:05And Carolina will beat them in five.

04:07I don't know if I can go from...

04:09I hope they get to six.

04:11I played it for six. Carolina in six.

04:13But I don't have a lot of confidence in the Devils after...

04:16Them winning two games is going to be an extremely big task.
