If I had to bet a paycheck on who's going to win, it's hard to imagine them not winning the Cup.

I would be a gigantic disappointment if they don't.

So to me, that's probably the avalanche.

And to me, it's like do or die.

Yeah, especially if Robert Thomas was really out there.

I don't know how much he really was.

That would have been the guy that I think really could have brought them up a notch.

But yeah, Dan Coven, it's interesting.

I didn't think he would make it all this season as their second-line center.

Him and Blake together, though, they're a fun watch.

They get in your face, especially Blake.

That guy is sneaky.

Yeah, he's got some rat in him.

Oh, a lot of rat in him.

And he had a good skate trip last night of Charlie Coyle coming out of the zone and went to the box.

So, you know, they'll compete and they'll go hard.

But I just wonder, you know, especially, you know, Buffalo's the heavy team now.

People don't realize that Buffalo kind of strangely evolved into this big kind of heavy team.

And, like, that would be a hard matchup if they get there.

Tampa...
