It's a European city where, despite the current state of politics, they actually do hate Americans slightly less than in some European cities.

Well, I mean, we learned that a diminished Kale McCarr is better than no Kale McCarr at all, which is why I'm sure they're fitting him with robot parts to play game two of the series.

I mean, it's... Look, we talked about it last episode with Woodley, right?

Like, the idea that...

For all of the talk about the Avalanche being this inevitable juggernaut, there's a wobble to them after that Minnesota series.

Their goaltending was wobbly.

McCarr's health was a concern.

I think we didn't know how bad it was in the sense that he wouldn't play game one, but we knew that if he did play game one, Vegas was going to pound him into sand.

So like the idea that this was sort of let's etch the cup for Colorado, I think kind of maybe went off the rails a little bit in the second round.

And now we see them go up against the team that is completely locked into the Tortorella style, not only in their own end where they're, you know, insulating Carter Hart pretty well, not to say he's not playing well himself.

So, you know, the Golden Knights, when they're playing as they should, they're also really hard in the forecheck and playing well in the Colorado end as well.

They didn't do it all game.

I think Tortorella was right in the sense that there was maybe a little bit more dumping and chasing than you'd like in the third for them.

But they played a really good road game.

When the Avalanche are resorting to breaking up McKinnon and Natchez to try to generate offense, you know the defense is doing something quite good.

I mean, that's why you have a podcast, sir.

I think what you're essentially saying is that you wanted Kadri to run Marner.

That's essentially what you're saying, right?

Look, I'm not saying that I didn't think about it.

To make a physical statement like that.
