Buffalo's in last.

Ah, Buffalo.

This is low-key so much better than being defeated.

I was so envious of how the Warriors dynasty, well, even though they won afterwards, but the KD incarnation of the Warriors went out because they could, even though the Raptors, I still firmly believe, would have won that series, they get to hang their hat on Klay and KD getting hurt.

And you always have that in your back pocket if you're a Warriors fan.

And no one actually took out the Florida Panthers.

Injury took them out.

And we rebuild next year.

But you could always say, when you tell the story of the four Panthers.

From being so banged up from all the winning.

That's right.

They went to three straight Stanley Cup finals.

I think in that instance, you do put the S on.

You've got to imagine all those extra minutes that you're playing add up.

uh i mean barkov it seemed to be a fluke injury got hurt like the second he touched the ice in pre-season camp and we know that historically you get banged up actually this most recent cup final was florida's best luck when it came to injuries but when you look at what troubles them specifically right now it's goal scoring we know that they have talented goal scorers out and the four check is really lacking and it's not just barkov that one's obvious but lusa ryan and like that freak barbecue accident he is one of the do you know what

I had a team barbecue.

I've got it being a barbecue at Ekblad's house.

Ekblad's on the grill, flipping a burger.

Lou Strahan's like 10 feet away.

He's got a plate with a bun on it.
