00:00You're Islanders, unlike the Leafs, have shown a lot of heart.
00:06They're battling.
00:07They're playing hard.
00:08Yeah.
00:09Yeah.
00:10You can argue that, hey, it's unfair.
00:11It should be tied at two.
00:12It is what it is, but I think that the Canes, they're going to finish this thing off tonight,
00:16Mike.
00:17Look, I think if I had to rank the four of them, Gabe, I would put, like you, the Leafs
00:21at the absolute bottom.
00:22I think the Leafs are finished.
00:24I think the Leafs are, they're ripping each other up.
00:26I would probably split those four up in the off-season, Gabe.
00:29That's probably a conversation for another day.
00:31I'd find a way to get some guys out of town.
00:33I'd give the Islanders and Winnipeg the best shot tonight, just because the Islanders have
00:38played really hard in the series.
00:40They're coming off a win.
00:41They won game five in Carolina last year to force a sixth game down three to one.
00:47Winnipeg is at home tonight against Colorado, even though Hellabuck can't stop a beach ball.
00:52I think that they are probably the two that I would lean on the most of trying to get
00:56across the line to a sixth game.
00:59Winnipeg is disappointing how they've just fallen apart, but you're not going to win
01:03in the playoffs.
01:04Like, people always talk, Carver, about, oh, you need four lines and stuff.
01:07Yeah, you need four lines, but if your first two lines aren't playing well, it doesn't
01:11matter how good the fourth line is playing.
01:13Fourth line is getting paid to win in the playoffs, bro.
01:15They're getting paid to eat time and cycle a puck around and hit some people, all right,
01:19while the first and second line guys get a breather.
01:22That's what it's about.
01:24And if your best players aren't playing well, big players play well in big games, as the
01:28cliche says.
01:29And it's true.
01:30You can't win.
01:31And Winnipeg are similar to the Jets.
01:32I think they're on the verge of a collapse, but you're right.
01:35They're back home.
01:36They're not at least spiritually broken in the same way that the Maple Leafs are.
01:42So I would agree with you that the Jets have a puncher's chance of extending the series.
01:46And I think Vancouver do win tonight.
01:48Look, man, they played the Predators seven times now this year.
01:52They've beaten them six times.
01:54There's something to this, right?
01:56I mean, they won three and all the regular people, it didn't matter.
01:58Okay, well, now there's three and one in four games.
02:00They've won with three different goalies.
02:02The only thing is, do the Canucks get caught up in the home hype, right?
02:06You haven't won a playoff series in forever, you haven't had a home playoff series in nine
02:10years, you're on the verge of winning.
02:12It should be noted they're going with the kid again tonight.
02:15So they're going back to the kid that was between the pipes over the weekend.
02:19I think it's the right move to make.
02:20I think the Canucks do finish them off tonight.
02:25I think the Canucks do finish them off tonight.
