What is the significance of the Vegas Golden Knights vs Anaheim Ducks matchup?
Oh, look at that, Mitch Marner scoring in an elimination game. Twice! Why haven't you talked about it yet, Leaf guys? Well, here it is. But first, let's talk about the red tag days happening right now at your local Ontario Toyota dealer. Listen, you gotta pick up the Tacoma, at least take it for a test drive. The I-Force engine boasts 6,400 pounds of towing capacity. We're also talking about capability, convenience, and the 10-speaker JBL premium audio system so you can hear us freak out in real time all around your head. And if you need to leave your truck for any reason, they've also got the JBL Flex Bluetooth speaker that's inclusive so you get to bring that with you for your backyard parties or whatever this summer.
Experience, capability, convenience, and everything else with Toyota Tacoma. What song are you playing, Steve? Shop Toyota.ca or your local Ontario Toyota dealer during Red Tag Days today through May. What song are you playing?
I'm going to go with frigging the setup. That's the song that you play if you choose option C in GTA 5. That's a terrible choice. It's a great song.
Terrible choice. It's a great song. He just gave you a perfect opportunity.
It's a great song. Fastball. It's a great song. Adam, where do I go again? Shop toyota.ca. Shop toyota.ca, Jesse Blake.
Now, let's talk about this series because you know what's interesting about it? Vegas' series here kind of mirrors their opponent with Utah. Young team, first time in the playoffs in a while, and kind of figuring it out, whereas Vegas is more of a veteran team, got some holes in the lineup, but they won when it counted. I do think there's a lot of, you know, I'm not saying Anaheim and Utah are the same thing, but there are some similarities. There's some similarities.
I think it's almost the opposite of Carolina-Philly. So Carolina-Philly, I think Carolina is playing a weaker opponent than they did in the first round. And I think Philly's playing a better opponent than they did in the first round. That's tough. I'm not saying Vegas is weaker than Edmonton because they're obviously not, but more was expected of Edmonton. That was cup or bust. Vegas still has high expectations, but it wasn't necessarily cup or bust. It's like, oh, they might go deep. They might not. We'll see. Whereas Anaheim... Kind of limped into the playoffs a little bit.
Speed wobble. They had the division locked up. They'd be playing at home. You got this series. You got usurped as the Ducks truther by Maddie. I know.
Because Maddie actually picked them. I know.
I know. I did. Right?
So I kind of look at the Ducks as, strangely, a stronger version of the Oilers right now. Okay. Well, they did beat them. Yes. Just really run and gun, high octane offense. No, I know. But like, I mean, they're the same team, not a stronger team in general.
I mean, they're the same type of team.
Listen, keep hitting us with those takes, man. They're great. They're the same type of damn team. Whereas Vegas was nothing like as advertised. Yes, true.
How do the teams' playoff experiences compare?
They were this team that struggled to score all year. And what actually happened was they outscored all their problems. Yes. Which is wild.
Now, Jesse. No, it's Vegas. Ah, hey. Jesse, one of the things that Vegas has had as a major weakness was goaltending. And Lucas Dostal was the better of the two goalies in that Edmonton series. But that was the highest scoring series in the first round by far. And Dostal's numbers look terrible. However, I thought he played pretty well. What are your thoughts on the goaltending matchup here?
I think we got a clear winner. I know Dostal was shaky for a little bit there, but I don't trust Carter Hart because of how up and down his return has been. He was disaster in the fall. He was disaster through parts of the winter. And then he was like, eh, kind of okay. And then disaster in some of the games in the first round.
Jesse, literally one guy trusts him. It's John Tortorella.
John Tortorella has picked his ride or die. Even though I would confidently give Aiden Hill a start in this playoff run, John Tortorella is like, I want Carter Hart no matter what.
