00:00First of all, Lightning beat the Blues last night 3-1. Lightning on fire right now.
00:09They've won four in a row. They've won six out of seven games in December.
00:13Keep your eye on Tampa, playing some very good hockey.
00:16And a much different Tampa team this year from years past.
00:19No more Stamco, etc.
00:21But John Cooper getting the crew ready to rock as they hit January.
00:25Because January is when hockey really starts.
00:27For us, we're locked in all year long.
00:30But for a lot of people, they don't start dipping their toe in the water until January 1st.
00:35They want to get through football, get through college football,
00:38and then they start to lock in on hockey a little bit more.
00:40We're in the mix every single day, so we know the Lightning have been playing some very good hockey.
00:44The Kings are in the middle of a monstrous seven-game roadie.
00:49And what you'll find out a lot about me here on this show is I am very in on road trips.
00:55When teams take long road trips, it fascinates me what they do to these teams.
00:59New York area to Pittsburgh, going to Philadelphia, back to Nashville, back to Washington.
01:04That is a long trip for the Los Angeles Kings.
01:07And they smashed the Flyers last night 7-3.
01:11They're playing very good hockey.
01:12But 3-2 on this trip so far.
01:14They're going to back-to-back this weekend to finish off the seven-game roadie.
01:19They go to Nashville tomorrow, and they got to go back east to Washington to play the Caps on Sunday.
01:25Kings are a very good hockey team, but be careful there.
01:28They got themselves a lot of days off at the end of a very long two-week trip.
01:33Be careful with the Kings this weekend in Nashville and in D.C.
01:37Sens beat the Flames 3-2 in overtime last night.
01:39We said the Lightning are hot.
01:40The Senators are hot as well.
01:43They have won five in a row.
01:44They have won seven out of eight.
01:46They have moved into a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, playing great puck.
01:51They will finish off their trip to Western Canada this weekend.
01:55They will be in Vancouver in Edmonton.
01:57They've already won two games on this trip.
01:59This is a tough trip for the East Coast teams.
02:01They've kind of built Seattle now into the trip that goes Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver.
02:07Seattle becomes part of it.
02:08Ottawa's already won two games here.
02:10They won in Seattle, and then they won last night in Calgary.
02:13Just like I'm saying with the Kings, maybe a play against this weekend with how busy Ottawa's been.
02:18I know they've been on fire, but no team in the East, even the best teams in the East,
02:23have a very hard time just rolling through that entire Western Canadian road trip.
02:29Watch the Senators this weekend as they've got to play it back-to-back with Vancouver and Edmonton.
02:33My last note from last night that I'll give you is the Chicago Blackhawks.
02:37How about a 3-1 win over the Kraken, who usually smash them?
02:41Kraken had a great record against the Hawks.
02:43The Blackhawks have now won three in a row.
02:46All of those games at home.
02:48Here's the problem.
02:49They're going to Calgary on Saturday, and the Blackhawks are an awful hockey team.
02:55They stink.
02:56And now they're going to go on the road.
02:57At home, okay.
02:58On road, no good.
02:59Calgary on Saturday.
03:01Make sure you look at some numbers there when they come out, either late tonight, early tomorrow morning,
03:05when they have the Blackhawks in the building there at the Dome.
