Bounces, things just aren't going his way, no matter how hard he tries.

So I think he'll have a monster game two in response.

I think the Ducks will in tow, too.

I'm with you.

It was entertaining hockey.

And Anaheim, again, getting a sense of, all right, we lost game one, but nothing about that should we feel bad.

we're really in trouble here yet.

So we'll see how they handle things going forward against Vegas.

I also wanted to say too, like Brett Howden scores again.

He opened the scoring here on Monday.

It was a heck of a pass by Mitch Marner through traffic.

But again, it was like a great example of,

that the whole idea of, well, anybody can play with great players.

Like, no.

The awareness that he had there about knowing what Marner was thinking and just finding an area, stick on the ice, and knowing that the puck was going to get through, like, that was high intelligence stuff.

It was, they've got something cooking there between those two.

And we've seen it a few times already, these playoffs.

Okay, exciting stuff out of Vegas, and anticipate a long series still to come there.

Why don't we take one final break, and when we come back, we will tee up the series that you and I are covering in person, the Sabres and the Canadians, and look ahead to what else is on tap for Wednesday night in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Back in a moment.
