00:00Generally, when I'm asking you about hockey, it is about the Caps specifically.
00:04But this Four Nations thing, I knocked it because I just wanted to watch Caps hockey
00:08when the Super Bowl ended, and it has completely sucked me in.
00:12It is awesome to watch.
00:15A lot of it, a lot of it was just the way the U.S.-Canada game started the other night
00:19with all the fights.
00:20I love it.
00:21We get that U.S.-Canada game tomorrow night.
00:24What are you expecting?
00:25What are you, I don't even know what the lines are, like who's favorite, any of it.
00:31USA, I think, is a slight favorite.
00:37I am expecting a high-scoring game because I think these teams want to embarrass the
00:43other one.
00:44I don't think they just want to win.
00:46I think, obviously, it's very personal.
00:48They want to, they want to drop them out of the building.
00:54So I'm expecting some fireworks, goal-scoring, maybe not so much as the fighting.
00:59You know, there's some injury concerns.
01:02I mean, Canada is just so good in these tournaments.
01:05I want to say, like, Crosby's won 20-something straight games in these type of tournaments.
01:13You know, they have, obviously, just a stellar group on both sides.
01:18But I do like U.S. They are able to get in the high-danger areas.
01:25They are able to get into the slots.
01:28And they also, they're physical.
01:29And that does take a toll.
01:32So I am backing USA in this one.
01:35All right.
01:36Go Americans.
01:37I think you should have just thought about it when you had the four nations.
01:40I don't care what nations it were.
01:43When you finally get to competition, that pride comes out.
01:46Yeah.
01:48And I think this doesn't get much bigger than USA, Canada, and this type of thing.
01:56So yeah.
01:57And I think it's great that people are getting drawn in, much like they did when Oshie had
02:01the 70 shootout goals in a row during the Olympics.
02:08That was what everyone was talking about.
02:11I think that these type of moments are what get people at least interested in hockey.
02:15And then maybe they see the product and they get a little more interested.
