Anyway, something to watch here for Minnesota and hopefully for their sake.

It's not much longer for Erickson Eck beyond game number two.

I will say it was kind of neat seeing the Foligno brothers in on a 2-on-0 shorthanded before Marcus buried it there in game number one.

That was a confident move.

He knew what he was doing.

Very confident.

All right.

So game one to Colorado and a wild one, as we say, and that should be a very fun series out in the Western Conference.

All right, so we'll get to the other two second-round series a little later on in the podcast, but some other things to touch on first, including other teams that have had first-round exits here, Elliot, and let's begin with the Edmonton Oilers.

You know, you wanted to take a few days to decompress, to...

Think a little bit about where this is all going to go for Edmonton.

We heard from the particulars the other day in Edmonton.

And, of course, the quotes from Leon Dreisaitl have made the rounds over the last few days.

How blunt and honest he was, Connor McDavid as well, and the sense that the organization took a step back.

back this year.

So where would you like to start on how Edmonton turns things around from back to back Stanley Cup final appearances to a season that just never felt like they were able to get any sort of traction and out in round number one?

But part of the whole...

Having them play a little less, I mean, personnel goes hand-in-hand with that because you need a lineup that you've got other players that you trust putting out in more situations than they are currently.

Like Dreisaitl touched on it, right, about the team that went to Game 7 against Florida.

Yes.
