00:00Toronto is going to face the Panthers and I don't like their chances against the champs I really

00:06don't I think you and I had this discussion like that the lightning series was the the eastern

00:12final for the Panthers as far as I'm concerned and then I want to know your reaction to the you

00:20know Pistons and and the Nuggets losses last night and who you like tonight in game six at

00:28the chase in San Francisco uh with the dubs because they just don't lose at home I'm on them

00:33you know as far as the Toronto Maple Leafs are concerned it's good news bad news right you win

00:38the series and the celebration really can't last long because it's like oh great we get the Florida

00:44Panthers next but they knew coming in you're going to get the Panthers or the lightning uh and and you

00:50know I mean there was there was no getting around it if you're the Toronto Maple Leafs once again a

00:54ridiculously stupid preposterous NHL playoff format you know only the NHL let's have the best teams

01:01play each other in the first two rounds and see who's less standing at the end and that's why the

01:07Stanley Cup finals go down after but anyway anyways um it is it is where it is listen from what we just

01:14saw it's hard to make an argument for the Leafs right that man you're playing this Panther team that

01:20have done you know the Panthers have dialed it up Kachuk looks fine you know you bring in Seth

01:26Jones they got the playoff pedigree they're just a complete hockey team I think that the Leafs can

01:31play with them Scott for me they got talent they can play with them yeah for me the Leafs it's

01:37psychological right just don't think like the Leafs think too much like even in hindsight people are

01:42so old Leafs the Leafs so critical they want in six what do you think they're gonna sweep them

01:46I bet them in six right Ottawa good team so they won in six they handle their business but it was

01:51still this it's it's so chaotic and dramatic everything it's like they're like Manchester

01:57United or something Scott they're like the English national team everything is overdone positively or

02:03negatively like and it's just it's exhausting so you have to tune out all the noise and stuff

02:09but from a pure hockey standpoint the Leafs can beat the Panthers they just can't think about it

02:15right if they're up two games to one don't start all we're up like they just seem they're like the

02:19Buffalo Bills there's just always something that happens oh you know we were gonna win but yeah we

02:25were gonna win but if that didn't happen or if that penalty wasn't called yeah but it was right you

02:30got to find a way to fight through it so listen I said the Leafs were gonna win Eastern Conference

02:34before it started I said they were gonna win the Cup so I can't abandon ship right now but I can't lie

02:39to you Scott and say that I'm not scared of the Panthers I mean the Panthers they seem unbeatable
