00:02 - As far as tonight is concerned, you know what?
00:07 How do we get in front of this Dallas Stars hockey team
00:10 right now?
00:11 The way this team is playing, Colorado,
00:14 their depth is a problem right now.
00:16 They just don't have enough of it.
00:18 Dallas are rolling out.
00:19 They're just deeper than they are.
00:20 Dallas has had more consistent goal tending.
00:23 I know that home ice has almost been a disadvantage
00:25 in the hockey playoffs, guys,
00:26 but I do believe that the Stars get it done tonight.
00:31 And in fact, I don't know, actually, you know what?
00:33 This is a kiss of death, Mike,
00:34 because I actually was gonna tell you,
00:36 I think the Dallas Mavericks surprise everybody tonight.
00:39 'Cause everyone's gonna say, "Oh, the Mavericks are done now.
00:42 "We're getting four and a half."
00:43 I'm like, "All right, I'll take the points
00:44 "and play contrarian here."
00:46 But teams from the same city never win on the same night
00:48 in the playoffs, it seems.
00:50 But I do like the Stars tonight.
00:51 I like the Canes tomorrow,
00:54 though I think we're gonna be going seven
00:55 with the Rangers series.
00:57 But I think the Stars get it done
00:59 and finish them off tonight.
01:00 They're just better, right?
01:02 Like, it's not like these are close games even.
01:04 Like, they're dominating the games now.
01:06 - Yeah, and me and Joe were talking about this last night.
01:10 Like, you've already had two other series
01:12 where the team down 3-1,
01:15 won on the road in game five to force the sixth game.
01:18 Boston did it last night.
01:19 Carolina did it in New York.
01:21 We gonna really go three for three with that,
01:23 with Colorado winning in Dallas tonight?
01:26 - Notice the differences, though.
01:27 Like, the Carolina Rangers,
01:29 Carolina were playing good in New York.
01:30 They just kept losing.
01:32 You know what I'm saying?
01:32 It wasn't that they didn't play well.
01:34 The Rangers feast on the power play.
01:36 And you see, like, Carolina are the better team five on five.
01:39 Boston and Florida, you know, listen,
01:42 Boston cry a lot and they've gotten away with a lot
01:44 over the years, but they were on the short end
01:47 of a lot of stuff.
01:48 Like, you know what I'm saying?
01:50 It's like their best player got KO'd on the ice,
01:52 nothing happened.
01:53 Questionable decisions with the goals allowed, not allowed,
01:56 and all this type of stuff.
01:58 So it wasn't as one-sided.
01:59 It wasn't like Florida were kicking their ass, right?
02:02 Even though they're up, it wasn't like Boston,
02:04 and they have Swainman.
02:06 Like, Colorado just don't look good, bro.
02:08 Like, they don't, like, they're falling apart.
02:10 Like, they don't look very good.
02:12 Like, they're just, and Dallas are ramping it up right now.
02:15 So there's a little bit of a difference, I think,
02:17 in that, with that.
02:18 That's why I like Dallas tonight.
