00:00You hear us talking about Alex Ovechkin, we're talking about trying to get 21 and 37, which
00:06I think it'll be like, it's a, it's a game to him that you want to play with me.
00:10You don't think I can score 21 goals.
00:12Watch this.
00:13And then I said that he's played with Crosby, the two most significant players bar none
00:20in the NHL bar none over the last 20 years with all their cups and all their glory and
00:26the gold medals and watching these two guys tied at the hip.
00:30It's those two players that have run the National Hockey League for the last 20 years and seeing
00:34him do this as a penguin fan, I'm actually like turned on by it because I respect him
00:40that much.
00:41Yeah.
00:42These are the two generational talents of that generation.
00:45Like Conor McDavid, Leon Drysdale, whoever's coming next.
00:48That's next.
00:49In the moment, these are two generational players because they've won, Conor might win
00:53this year.
00:54The team looks really, really good, but you're right.
00:56Sid wants his cup.
00:57And I think the fact that both teams have won.
00:59So if you're a Caps fan, you're probably not hating on the Penguins because they've won
01:03three and you got yours.
01:04Same thing with the Penguins.
01:05I think everybody's rooting for Ovechkin at this point in time.
01:09And I think he'll do it as well.
01:10So it's, it's a feat that no one ever thought Scottie would be broken.
01:14It's going to be broken.
01:15And it's probably going to be broken because Scottie, you know, he's not going to stop
01:18shooting.
01:19He's not going to be looking to distribute the puck.
01:21He's not going to be a facilitator.
01:23Every time he gets a puck on a stick, he's looking to shoot and score.
01:26And so because of that, because the team is playing so good and they're an excellent team,
01:29this is not an excellent start.
01:31It's an excellent team.
01:32But because of that, he gets the freedom to shoot the puck whenever he wants because the
01:35team, whatever he does is going to keep winning.
01:38You know, we talked about yesterday, their odds are dramatic to me that they're not favored
01:45to win anything.
01:46It's still Florida.
01:48And I like the Capitals odds for at least a couple shekels because I mean, they're laying
01:54in the weeds and they're this dangerous and everybody thinks it's going to be somebody
01:58else.
01:59What do you think of their chances the way they play?
02:02And Carver Hodge said it best.
02:04They're not just up in their division.
02:06They're up in Eastern Conference running away.
02:08Yeah.
02:09They're the President's Trophy winner right now.
02:11So if you get them at a price, is it not worth a bet?
02:14Of course it is at this point, the way they're playing, you don't have to bet on this team
02:17to win the next four to five championships.
02:19You're bidding on this team to win the Stanley Cup this year.
02:21Do they have a legitimate chance?
02:23Absolutely.
02:24Because yeah, Florida might rise up and when the playoffs start in game 83, they might
02:27start playing the way they played last season.
02:29But Scotty, they played a lot of hockey.
02:31Like they were in the Cup Final two years ago.
02:33They won it all last year.
02:34How much can you play before you get exhausted and can't do it?
02:37So Washington's a legitimate team without question because you only have to do is play
02:42well in the next 40 games and then find a way to win 16 games in the postseason.
02:46It can be done.
02:47It has been done.
02:49Are they the prohibitive favorites?
02:50No, of course not.
02:51Because you have bigger names, bigger brand names other than Ovechkin on a team.
02:55You couldn't name three other caps probably.
02:57So that that's probably why the price is higher than it should be.
03:01This is a legitimate dangerous team, Scotty, from the team I've seen so far.
