And then the next day, four teams are playing.

And then, as you mentioned, Edmonton will either start if it's Colorado Sunday.

If not, they'll start likely at home on Monday.

Okay, so I had those reversed, yeah.

Well, I can tell you, yeah, they would like that.

You know, I spent time with Drew Dowdy's dad the other day, and, you know, that is a nice story, the fact that Kopitar and Dowdy and a few of the veterans managed to salvage what looked like a train wreck down in L.A., and it's a good matchup for Edmonton, obviously.

So I just think, you know, everybody's excited for the playoffs just has a hint of big upsets.

Even Colorado, President's Trophy winners, tops and goals for, tops and goals against, hasn't been done since Canucks in 2020.

Was it 12?

I think they did it.

No, the year they won, they lost to Boston, 2011.

But I feel like they are vulnerable.

You know, if McCarr isn't completely healthy, just a feeling I have that they, you know, won't have a cakewalk.

But they've earned the right to have one.

Well, you know, it looked there about a month ago, and give Connor Ingram, I said that last week, a lot of credit.

He stabilized Edmonton's goaltending and has done just a great job.

So the question in Edmonton, as it is in Ottawa, as it is to an extent in Montreal, is, you know, can Dobish run with this?

Or they don't have to worry about it, Fowler's that good.

It kind of feels that way.

Olmark has been great when they needed him, and Ingram's been great when they needed him.
