I didn't realize that was that big of a bet.

The stuff they're saying to me is a lot worse, Biz.

You wouldn't want it being said about you and your family, but... They go to your wife and kids?

They look great.

And I was afraid of the X-Factor line, Folinos and McCarron, the mutants, and they have been producing the big goals.

But, yeah, I'm in a lot of trouble here.

Minnesota looks faster.

But I don't give up on my Dallas Stars.

Mikko Rantanen, he's been a little quiet.

He's going to have one of those nights tonight like he did against Colorado last year.

I will – I would take back the fraud comment.

They're 0-11 in the last 11 playoff series.

So add that into it, the pressure we just talked about, and then biz.

There's one thing I got.

I got an ace up my sleeve if Minnesota does get through this series, and it's that hat right back there, the Colorado Avalanche.

As an alumni of four preseason games, I just flip the script real quick and just jump on that.

I'm seeing from Pasha Friedman here that Brodine is out tonight.

That's a serious five-on-five shutdown D-man.

One more thing on Ottinger.

I remember from back in the Game Notes Daily days, the stats, they used to chat, used to give us the stats on Ottinger after a loss, and it was something incredible.
