play any better than they're playing right now because they're going to have to be when they hit the playoffs.

That's why I said I think Tampa's just hitting their stride because they can play better.

I don't know if Carolina in the last few years have been able to play any better than they were, so I thought in the conference final was their limit.

and uh i don't know if buffalo can i don't know if columbus can um um who's the other team we mentioned ottawa yeah i don't know if any of those three teams can play better than they're playing right now but to get into the stanley cup final they're going to have to but at the same time if there's

1993 out there again, this is the year.

Like, I mean, who knows who's going to end up in the final if somebody just

takes slips if Tampa slips then everything's up for grabs if Carolina slips in the metro I mean anything's up for grabs I mean so uh I think the east is wide open I gotta believe the west it's going to be um it's going to be in the in the conference final obviously it's going to be Dallas or Colorado but in the Stanley Cup final I think it's going to be one of those two teams as well yeah

All right, Bruce, go ahead.

I have to say this one thing.

I remember the first time I was on this year, the question was how many Canadian teams are going to make it, and I got laughed at with six, and I should be laughed at again because there's no chance there's six teams.

Canadian teams that are going to make it.

Hopefully there's three, but we'll never know.

All right, you guys have a great day.

I'm good, and I would love it because then I wouldn't go on the ice.

I'd go, you guys are on your own.

It's really great, except the patience is a little thinner than it used to be.

You know, when you've got 40 kids on the ice at a time running around, it used to be, you know, we've got an hour, let them run.

Now it's like you're all over them all the time.

I got a quick story before you start.

Jamie, you were talking about your kid's a goalie.
