00:00I want to talk about the Stanley Cup playoffs with you now because you know how much you and I love

00:05hockey. What did you think last night of the Panthers kick the lightning ass again? I don't

00:11care what you say. Two zip. They're up two zip. They won both games in Tampa. Toronto wins in

00:16overtime on the Benoit goal. Minnesota kicked Vegas's ass again. And I hit that. I hit three

00:26to four games. I hit that Blues game. They stomped Winnipeg. Yeah we thought there'd be some bounce

00:32back action last night and there sort of was but let's start off actually with the Toronto Maple

00:38Leafs. I mean you got to tip your cap to this team. One game, one series does not make a championship

00:45but you know the saying you can't win the Stanley Cup now but you can lose it. So let's give credit

00:50to the Leafs. They're handling their business. They're going to win this series. It'd be shocking

00:55if they actually blew a 3-0 series lead. So let's tip our cap to the Toronto Maple Leafs. But

01:00if I'm the Leafs, Scott, and you know I don't know what I was thinking because I picked the Leafs

01:05to win the Cup and get out of the Eastern Conference but they're going to have to go

01:09through Florida it looks like. And you know Scott, Tampa just cannot break through, bro.

01:16You know what I mean? I don't have an explanation for it. I really don't. I don't know how

01:20like Tampa. Yeah, like Florida. It's like a bigger brother type of thing. They're just bigger or

01:27stronger and they're just holding their kid brother down. They're better. Like the thing is

01:32Tampa are good. Like they just can't break through and they're not going to come back and win this

01:37series. Like you're not really you're not going to win four of the next five games you know to come

01:42back. So like Tampa are basically done and you got the Florida Panthers right now. I thought they'd be

01:47tired, Scott. They're not tired. Right. I mean, I sort of and I'll be real. I've underestimated the

01:52Panthers for a couple of years to be honest. I was like, ah, they're not that good. They're okay.

01:56They're a real champion. Yeah, like and they're they're they're showing it right now, aren't they?

02:02Like, yeah, you want the belt? Come and get it. That's their attitude. Honestly, they look to me like

02:06they're going, you know, I know it's early, but they are in my view, I'm still taking them over

02:13Toronto in a series. And then in the Eastern finals, I think they'd kick the Capitals ass.

02:22I really yeah, I would agree with you with that. I know I would buy you. I don't think the Cups

02:26are going to beat them, too. You know, Carolina is a good hockey team. I think they match up well

02:32with with the Florida Panthers. But let it do it. If the Panthers if the Panthers go back to the

02:37Cups, Scott, when's the last time I'm thinking when's the last time a team went to three Stanley

02:41Cups in a row? It's not easy. I mean, like, in any sport, it's not easy to get back to a

02:48championship. But when you consider the physicality of the National Hockey League, as we talked

02:53about, Scott, I mean, when you play in the playoffs, guys, and you you go on, you literally

02:58lose like 20 pounds. I mean, like players are losing like massive amounts of weight on

03:04a nightly basis and have to hydrate, try to get it back. I need to go do that to do this.

03:10Yeah, so do I. I need a lot of hydration. I need the Vegas, the Vegas IVs.
