00:00I wanted to ask you about that Canucks game as well last night.
00:03There's no reason for them to be winning.
00:06Their season's over.
00:07I've heard Besser's out of there.
00:09But you keep telling me that they won't quit and they keep, you know,
00:12they had the three-goal comeback with a minute left in the game the other night.
00:16You said they're as loose as a goose.
00:18And I was like, there's no way they're winning that game in Denver.
00:21And then they did.
00:23Yeah, you know, Scott, there's different.
00:25I know it sounds crazy.
00:26And yesterday you got a chuckle out of it.
00:28And I know for people tuning in probably thinking, he just said this team is out of it
00:31and they don't care.
00:32And then he told us how the Canucks were out of it.
00:34But he likes the Canucks tonight.
00:36There's different types of out of it, right?
00:39There's some rooms in which, you know, the room implodes and it's a lost cause
00:43and people just want to get out of there.
00:45And there's other, you know, other rooms where they've sort of stuck together.
00:50The Canucks have had a lot of friction this year and drama, but they play hard on the ice.
00:55You know, and they, you know, another thing is too, I saw a stat about them.
00:58The Canucks are like 16 and five or something, Scott, like the last 21 games where they've
01:03been eliminated.
01:05So it's another thing too.
01:07You know, one thing, last thing about the Canucks, they're not a bad team, right?
01:11There's seven games over 500, right?
01:13They're in a very, very difficult division.
01:15They're in a super tough Western conference.
01:18If the Vancouver Canucks were an Eastern conference, we'd be talking about them playing,
01:21going into the playoffs right now.
01:22They're not, it is what it is.
01:25They had a tough year, but they're not a bad team, right?
01:28I know people were frustrated with them and it's a frustrating season for them.
01:32The flames are still mathematically alive and they get the wild tonight, you know, absolutely
01:38pivotal game and a wild play to Canucks tomorrow.
01:41So this is a spot now for the Calgary flames where they, you know, they can win and they're
01:46seeing the Canucks winning late right now.
01:48So the flames are still alive, but I tell you what, it's just a gut feel tonight, Scott.
01:53And I've been betting on the flames a lot this year.
01:57And this is another team too, where ton of heart, not a ton of talent.
02:01They remind me of last year's Vancouver team.
02:03They just sort of play hard.
02:04They get good goaltending.
02:05How are they going to make up five points when you got teams like the wild and blues that
02:11still win games?
02:13Well, you're playing them tonight, right?
02:15So there's two points.
02:16This, this is it.
02:18Yeah.
02:18This, this is it.
02:19That's why I'm saying this game is so critical tonight.
02:22It's basically like a playoff eliminator for the Calgary flames.
02:26You're five down.
02:27You're playing the team right now.
02:28They win tonight.
02:30They cut it to three.
02:31Boom.
02:31Minnesota wild play in Vancouver tomorrow night, back to back.
02:35The flames have to pray that the Canucks actually show up.
02:38Although this is a type of spot where the Canucks won't show up.
02:41They're coming off a nice big win.
02:43They're playing at home and they'll let their fans down.
02:47The classic.
02:48If the flames lose tonight and they go seven down, it's over.
02:54They're done.
02:55Yeah, they're done.
02:55They need to win tonight.
02:57And this could happen for them.
02:59There's still a couple of games left.
03:00Minnesota have a tricky schedule down the stretch here.
03:02So tonight's a pivotal, really, really cool game.
03:05And Ottawa, Montreal is pretty big tonight too.
03:08The game's actually a pretty big in Eastern Conference tonight as well.
03:11Uh, in the NHL.
03:12Who do you like in that, uh, Montreal game in Ottawa?
03:17Oh boy.
03:18I know it's hard.
03:19Six in a row.
03:20Six in a row for the blue, blue, blue, rouge.
03:23So I hate doing this, but I think the senators are going to get it done.
