Colorado has to play Wednesday in Utah.

I'll be shocked.

I mean,

if they end up playing some of their go-to guys on Wednesday.

I think they will rest them on Wednesday.

I'd be surprised if both McKinnon and McCarr played in that game, and maybe even Brock Nelson might get the night off in Utah, come back, and have a full lineup for Minnesota in that second of back-to-backs for them.

Super weird how the league – and again, the NHL's got to do what they got to do.

They want to give their –

their league a chance to shine on that big stage, which they certainly did.

And they're going to get a ton of juice from it.

But to come back as soon as Wednesday night, when most of these players aren't flying back till Monday or Tuesday and some are going to the white house, it to me seems like you're putting these players in a bad spot.

And then to have most of these teams have a back-to-back game and three games in four nights on the weekend, like Minnesota, like Colorado, uh,

I don't know, man, you're asking an awful lot.

So I'll be very curious to see how these teams manage the minutes, the games, who's in, who's out.

I think it's going to be fascinating to watch.

And I think once we get back to that second week, it'll kind of all catch up and we'll be back to normal.

But I think this first week could be a little bit tricky.

Well, I mean, you've got to go with your heart and, you know, your heart always leads you to a wild victory.

So you'll probably have to pick Colorado because as we've discussed many times here and on social media, your track record isn't great.

Great.
