So I'm bitter across the board.

I'm going to watch it because I love hockey, but my God, am I going to hate watch?

I'm just, I'm rooting for her.

I'm rooting for the hurricanes.

I just can't have Vegas when I hate this expansion team.

Like you said, 33% of their existence.

So my, like, even as an Islander fan, I can't even understand how suffering his life is.

But the fact that he's never seen his team win a division and this team here is in the Stanley Cups three times in nine years, Chad, it's second to none.

Yeah, these two teams have very different paths to the final, but they're similar teams.

Carolina,

relentless pressure, but they're defense forward.

They want to stop you from scoring before anything else.

And Vegas is the same way with John Tortorella.

He would throw his own kids in front of a puck to stop it from reaching the goalie.

So it's going to be a series where the works will be gummed up quite a bit.

And I don't think scoring is...

we won't see very high totals even if you know tonight just ends up being a weird game where it's like seven five i think tomorrow you'll or for game two you'll still see these low totals and to get used to that and uh so i like the i like the zero zero after the first period um today because i just think both these teams first of all caroline has had a very easy path and they haven't seen a team like this so i think they'll be you know toe in the water kind of stuff try to make sure that

They like the temperature before they start taking any risks, and Vegas will sit back and enjoy that too.

So I could see this one starting pretty slowly.

Both goalies have been in good form too coming in.
