00:00We'll be right back.
00:05Consmith Trophy odds here.
00:06You take a look at the leader in the clubhouse right now.
00:08It is Sergei Bobrovsky at a minus 200 price followed by
00:10Connor McDavid at a 5 to 1.
00:12Now, interesting here.
00:13Barkoff at a plus 550 price.
00:15Third on the leaderboard here even though his status for game
00:18three technically still up in the air.
00:20Kachuk, Bouchard, Verhege after him.
00:22If we're looking for the consmith right now,
00:24is it Bobrovsky's to lose here for you,
00:26Pete?
00:27I mean, based on the cup final,
00:29the award is based on votes and play over the four rounds
00:33combined.
00:34Right now, like, recency bias has everybody gravitating toward
00:38Bobrovsky and rightfully so.
00:40He's 2-0.
00:41He's only given up one goal in the two games.
00:44He's got a great road record, so he has a chance to,
00:47I think, 6-2 Florida is, and Bobrovsky's played every game for
00:50them.
00:51So he's in the driver's seat right now.
00:53That said, that number on Barkoff,
00:55if he does come back and he's, you know,
00:57the conquering hero and maybe scores a goal in the clinching
01:00game, he may only need to play, you know,
01:02one more game in this series.
01:04If he comes back, defies the injury,
01:06and maybe gets you a big goal in a big moment.
01:09I mean, he's the guy that has been the most consistent on
01:12Florida's side offensively and defensively,
01:14shutting down some of these top players along the way,
01:17right?
01:18Whether it's Kucherov in the lightning in the first round,
01:20David Posternak containing him in the second round,
01:23and then absolutely neutralizing the play of New York Rangers star
01:28Artemi Panarin in the third round,
01:30and just making him a non-factor in that series.
01:33If he does that in this series as well,
01:35containing McDavid in one or two more games played,
01:39I think that could wrap it up here for Barkoff.
