The problem is Blackwood has not gotten into that rhythm at all this year.

And...

you know, that was ultimately the end of it for him.

It was that.

It was if we're going to ride with Wedgwood, you got to hope that this team continues to be, you know, the thing we talked about last time, the 2011 Vancouver Canucks, the team that has the best offense and the worst and the best defense.

Most goals forward, least goals against.

Otherwise, it could kind of blow up in your face.

And, you know, that's one of the things that's happening in this series.

Again, they're all one-goal games before the empty netters.

And, you know,

Their goalie is making one more save or sometimes two more saves than your goalie is.

I mean, maybe.

I just don't... I don't know if that's even going to help.

Blackwood just... He doesn't have it right now.

That game against Minnesota where he let in the three goals, it's... He's not in a rhythm, and he's a rhythm kind of goalie.

You know, when he came into the avalanche last year...

back in November of whatever it was, 2024, December of 2024.

He's an every-other-night goalie.

Wedgwood is the one that has the experience of sitting on the bench for two weeks and then coming in and having a strong game.

Blackwood, not so much.
