00:03 - Matt Rumpke can play, he can skate.
00:05 If he was just solely an enforcer
00:08 or if he was just solely a jarhead,
00:09 there's no point in having him on the ice
00:12 in a playoff game.
00:14 But the kid can skate, he can hold his own
00:17 and he will bring some energy to the building.
00:20 And not to listen, man,
00:21 the kid is seven feet tall on skates, all right?
00:23 He's six foot eight off his skate.
00:25 So you put him on skates and he's a freaking monster,
00:27 big kid and the Panthers are good
00:31 at like sort of baiting you into their game.
00:35 You know what I'm saying?
00:36 Like I remember Scott just talking about the Oilers,
00:38 like in the corners and stuff,
00:39 the Panthers are kings of this.
00:42 Like they know the tricks,
00:44 you know, a little butt in the stomach
00:46 and the gut bro in the corner.
00:47 Like the little things that the refs can't see and know,
00:51 you know, little comments, smack talk.
00:54 And like Chuck, he feeds off that stuff.
00:57 All right, okay, let's go.
00:59 Good Chuck, you like beating up Pastranek?
01:01 Or let's fight the seven foot kid.
01:03 Let's see what happens.
01:04 Maybe he'll break your hand too.
01:05 Right, like if I'm the Rangers, you gotta push back.
01:09 You gotta, the Panthers are bullies, all right?
01:11 The Panthers are one of the biggest bully teams in the NHL.
01:13 It's how the Vegas Golden Knights beat them last year.
01:16 They know this.
01:17 So they're like, all right,
01:18 we're gonna be the bullies from now on.
01:19 We're taking your lunch money.
01:21 We're going to New York and we're taking your lunch money.
01:24 So I think Matt Rempe is a nice,
01:27 Rempe's not the decider of the game,
01:29 but he will bring some energy.
01:31 And he does bring size and he can crash and bang
01:35 in the corners.
01:36 He can cycle the puck for you a little bit.
01:37 The kid can play hockey.
01:39 That's what I'm getting at.
01:39 He's not just like a goon.
01:42 I trust him enough to give him nine minutes tonight.
01:44 He should be in the lineup in my opinion.
01:47 As far as the game from a betting perspective,
01:49 I think it's a low scoring game, Scott.
01:51 I think we have a battle of these goaltenders,
01:53 which Shestercan knows.
01:55 I've got to be amazing.
01:57 Like I've really, you know what I mean?
01:58 I've got to give up like no goals,
02:00 one goal to give this team a chance to win.
02:03 The Rangers lack of depth is a problem.
02:05 The fact that they feast on special teams so much
02:08 is a problem for them.
02:09 Less penalties are called guys
02:11 as we advance in the playoffs.
02:13 If you're going to try to just live on your power play,
02:16 it's going to catch up to you.
02:17 You got to be able to score five on five.
02:20 Carolina own the Rangers five on five, right?
02:23 The Rangers, you're not playing the Capitals anymore, guys.
02:25 Like, you know what I'm saying?
02:26 Like, you know, and it's not going to be a bunch of penalties
02:29 in the conference finals.
02:31 So I think goals are going to be tough to come by tonight.
02:33 I love the under five and a half tonight.
