00:00But, and how about the Dallas Stars?

00:03I got to tell you, like, I'm kind of mad at myself that I don't like the Colorado Avalanche.

00:08I don't think they're that good, right?

00:10Colorado Avalanche, bro, like, they're like an NBA team with, like, two good players or something, right?

00:15You know, they get carried.

00:17They're not deep at all.

00:19And they've been leading, but they're not scoring.

00:22You know, like I said, they're not deep enough.

00:23They only have a couple of lines.

00:24They got one really good line and sort of everything else after Colorado.

00:28So, and they're having a hard time scoring right now.

00:30They're, Dallas is the real deal.

00:32And eventually Dallas is going to start to get some guys back as well.

00:35I might have underestimated the Dallas Stars, Scott.

00:39You know, the one thing about going back to the Kings is their physicality, their size.

00:44I'm noticing they're just laying guys out with hits.

00:48I mean, some of them are dirty and they don't even care.

00:51They're like, it's like they're doing it willingly and knowingly.

00:55But I think they're very physical.

00:58And on top of the goal scoring, that's a nasty combination.

01:02When you out hit and you're dominating physically, like, they're just crushing dudes.

01:08And we're back to the same problems between the pipes with the Edmonton Oilers.

01:12Is it Skinner's fault?

01:13No.

01:14They're getting murdered, as you stated, all over the place.

01:17But at the same point in time, you can't keep up.

01:21You can't give up 12 goals.

01:23You can't, like, you know, you can't be giving up this money.

01:25I guess he gave up before he got pulled.

01:28So, 12 now.

01:29I mean, this thing's a train wreck.

01:31It's a disaster for them.

01:32They're going back home.

01:33Listen, if they lose the next game, then things are going to get ugly at Edmonton.

01:37And who knows?

01:38It's almost like a cycle, Scott.

01:40They threw, remember Woodcroft, the last coach, they threw him under the bus.

01:44Right?

01:44It's like, you know, there's always someone to blame after this.

01:48They kind of backed into the playoffs.

01:49So, I'm not surprised the Oilers are in this situation.

01:52I'm a little worried because I picked the Kings, and I bet on the Kings to win.

01:56But I picked the Kings to win in seven games.

01:58And at this rate, it doesn't look like it's going seven games.

02:01It doesn't even look close to that.

02:03But I still think, you know, Edmonton's going to answer this at home.

02:09I just think they'll be on another gear at home.

02:12And they haven't had any kind of, they've had chances, and no lucky bounces and shots.

02:20Everything is, you know, they're just missing, and they're having opportunities, and they're not converting.

02:24And they're playing from behind all the time.

02:26That's the thing.

02:27The whole time, yeah.

02:27They're always playing from behind all the time.

02:29So, like, it's like, hey, wow, we just scored two goals in the last six minutes.

02:32Yeah, we gave up four 20 minutes ago, right?

02:36It's one of those type of deals.

02:38I mean, the game, the first game, the way they came back, I thought they'd play better than they did last night.

02:44I thought last night they came up lame.

02:46Good point, Scott.

02:47I'm glad you brought that up.

02:49I'm sure you've had them on the show many times over the years.

02:51Ken Danico.

02:52Remember, I spoke with Danico about playoff hockey, and he told me, there is no momentum in the playoffs.

02:58Like, you could lose 7-0.

03:00Like, it doesn't carry over.

03:01It really doesn't.

03:02We all want to pretend it does, Scott, but it really doesn't.
