00:12they couldn't score a goal on their home ice in a closeout game again they have another abortion

00:18i mean this is unbelievable this team and they were up three and now are they in trouble and then

00:25edmonton kicked la's ass last night any way you slice it they go ahead uh they get an empty netter

00:34they win three one they're up three two they're going home to the rogers to finish off the la kings

00:40for the fourth straight year that's what's going to happen well we'll start off with the uh the

00:45trotto maple leafs and the ottawa senators and i swear if the trotto maple leaf uh players won the uh

00:52the powerball lottery scott they would lose the ticket on the way uh to to cashing uh the check

00:58they're allergic to success for whatever reason right like they'll this has been this has been a

01:05problem for them for years and all you need to know about this how about this guys the trotto maple

01:10leaves in potential series clinching games since 2018 one in 13 one in 13 they played 14 games where

01:21they had an opportunity to close out a series since 2002 they've won once one and 13 um they've been

01:29outscored 48 to 23 this is what's pretty crazy too in series clinching games but trotto maple

01:37leaves drawn an 0 and 30 power play run right their top players seem to disappear in these spots but

01:43without being stated scott they're still up 3-2 right now and i saw this coming last night you know

01:50the the the toronto fans that building isn't the best spot uh for that they expect the worst it's

01:57like a self-fulfilling prophecy the other team scores early it goes silent in the building and next thing

02:03you know you know they're playing from behind and they tighten up i called it last night i said before

02:08the series started i like the leafs at six i think it sets up well i'll tell you right now guys if the

02:14leafs lose in ottawa they're gonna lose game seven like they won't win game seven at home right they

02:20need to win this game like the leafs are under way more pressure at home they're they're they have so

02:28many fans too plus it's only it's in the same province it's in ottawa so it's it's kind of like

02:3350 50 in ottawa actually and the leaf fans that travel are how far is it how far is it to get there

02:40it's about uh four hours four and a half hours type thing jesus yeah it's not as close as people

02:46think how's your cousin i haven't seen him in years yeah people think like montreal and toronto

02:53montreal and toronto is like a six-hour drive bro like that's in quebec yeah the cities are spread

02:59out like you know i mean it ain't like oh yeah it's an hour and a half with baltimore and you know

03:04washington whatever like but if you took a plane is it like an hour flight in a plane

03:08yeah i don't know like 38 minutes 40 minutes or something but you got to go through like the the

03:14you got to still go to the airport it's like when i went to seattle scott the flight was literally like

03:1937 minutes but it took me like two and a half hours four hours get out of the airport you know the flight

03:25like they literally said this and this flight's so fast we don't have in-flight service because you

03:29know we're gonna be there too quickly but i think the leaves will be fine on the road and they better be

03:35because it's soul-searching time right now
