Wouldn't that be funny and fun to watch if all of a sudden he appears in any of these games down the stretch and is a reason why they somehow make the playoffs and he got a rookie 21, you're a 22, whatever he is.

Um,

That's the thing about sports.

There are a lot of stories to be written.

As we saw yesterday in the UConn game, you never know how a game's going to end up, as bizarre as that was.

But I'm looking forward to this game tonight.

I love high-stakes hockey, especially if they get to the playoffs.

We haven't had that for three years, Joe.

It would be wonderful to watch a series like Pittsburgh-Buffalo, even though I don't want that one necessarily.

Although you might.

You might want to take on Buffalo because they're new to this.

They may not understand –

with a lot of their players on their team who haven't been through this, what it's like in a seven-game series.

I can't believe the Capitals are still in it, yet here they are.

You see, Ovechkin got another hat trick the other day.

There's 18 possible points for them.

No, but all these points now matter, and the points mattered way back at the beginning of the season.

Yes, that's true.

But...

Like we've said, we've seen these kind of games where the Penguins will come up with some goals on power play situations, whatever.
