I think that there's two teams that are going to that have the potential to make us feel like such idiots. Maybe three, actually, if you factor in the Panthers. I think it's the Oilers. I think it's the capitals where you ask questions about them going into the playoffs and legitimately after one game of the post season, we might be like, oh my God, that was so stupid. Okay. I'm so sorry.

Like Leon dry saddle might score five goals in the first game. And you're like, oh, it could be Leon dry. And literally anybody else. And they're just going to win these games. We haven't seen McDavid and dry saddle together since not together, like in the same lineup. I'm not talking playing together since March 18th. It's been a long time. They've also been without. And I agree with Pete.

Like I like LA's offense, but. We're putting that up against a lineup that we legitimately have never seen before. That is going to have down the middle, Connor McDavid, Leon dry saddle, Ryan Nugent Hopkins, who has been awesome when he's been healthy the last couple of months.

And what Adam Henrique with, with Trent Frederick and probably Corey Perry on his line offensively, they are going to be freaking loaded, but it doesn't matter if Stu Skinner is horrible. Rosie.

Are you supposed to have your second round pick when you're in a rebuild or do you not need those? I don't know. I'm not in charge of rebuilds. Right. But I'm saying like they're entering this rebuild and the only thing they have, they have some later picks and everything. They have like second round picks that are later in the round. Like they don't even have their own second round pick.

They're going to finish. I don't know. That's going to be like the fifth pick of the second round, something like that. And that's gone. Like they've kicked the can down the road so many times. And now that the bill is due. They just don't have the cash. And they don't have the prospects at all. They might stink for a long time. And it stinks because I love the Oilers. They're my favorite team.

But Bruins are like my family. And it's tough to see your family go through something.

Yeah, I also lean Panthers, but like I said, they're the other team that we're talking ourselves into why they could lose in the first round. And it makes sense because everybody should respect the lightning. But at the end of the day, if Kachuk is back and you have Kachuk and Marchand and Bennett, they're just going to be such a nightmare to play against. And

We're in year two of saying someone who wants to make a playoff run, get Seth Jones because he's not what he once was, but he can eat minutes. And for a team that lost their leader in minutes on the back end, the Panthers were the smartest team to go out and get Seth Jones.

I don't think he's going to be spectacular, but I think that they will benefit greatly from having another absolute horse back there. Vasilevsky, I would say, wins the goaltending matchup, but Vasilevsky, I think this is going to be close and I would still pick the Panthers to get out of the first round.
