00:00Now, what about Florida?

00:01Do they hit a wall now after that seven-game series,

00:06after three years of playing this deep?

00:08Do they hit a wall, or do they beat Carolina again?

00:11No, I don't think they do hit a wall.

00:14Extremely quick turnaround, though, for them playing tomorrow, right?

00:17You figure, listen, the Carolina Hurricanes have to get this done tomorrow.

00:20The Canes match up well with the Panthers.

00:22The thing with the Panthers, Scott, I buy into this, and I always sell that.

00:26And I thought coming into this year, I swear I said that.

00:28I said, man, the Panthers have been in two straight Stanley Cup finals.

00:32Throw in the Four Nations, these World Championships and stuff.

00:35A lot of those guys have played a lot of hockey, all right?

00:37So it's going to catch up to them.

00:39It isn't, right?

00:40They grind.

00:41The way that they play, they grind.

00:42They play four lines.

00:43They're deep.

00:44And, Scott, you know, we've got to give them credit, man.

00:46The addition of Seth Jones, bro, you bring in a hungry player

00:50that isn't all burnt out.

00:51The guy's been on the Blackhawks the last couple of years.

00:53You know what I'm saying?

00:54You bring in Marchant, who, I mean, you know, the little new rat of the league.

00:59Fits right in.

01:00You know, he's all energized to win a Stanley Cup.

01:03They did a great job of adding hunger on top of what they already got.

01:07I'm going to maintain they don't get there.

01:10But I got to tell you, Scott, like, you can build a mountain out of the money

01:15that I've lost betting against the Panthers over the last couple of years.

01:18Do you think he'll stay there, Marchant, or go, like, back to Boston?

01:22Or will he stay on this team because he sees how unique they are

01:26and that they win, and now all of a sudden he's not getting fleeced

01:29with financials?

01:30He is a free agent, right?

01:32The thing with the Panthers is they don't have a lot of money.

01:35Sam Bennett is a free agent on the Florida Panthers as well.

01:39Another guy, nuts and bolts.

01:40He knocks Stolarz out, right?

01:42Like, he's a dirty player.

01:43He'll do whatever it takes.

01:45He's from the Vancouver area.

01:46The Vancouver Canucks have really wanted to get him before,

01:48but the Panthers re-upped.

01:51And, you know, he only makes, like, $4.5 million.

01:53So they're not going to be able to keep both of them, right?

01:56And Satcho, they're not going to be able to keep everybody.

01:59I kind of get the feeling that Marchant's probably more of a rental.

02:03You know who's a team that needs him?

02:05The Toronto Maple Leafs.

02:06Like, they should have gotten him.

02:08Like, they need – that's what they're missing, right?

02:10They're missing the sandpaper.

02:12They're missing the balls.

02:13And they can give him the money.

02:15They're missing the leadership, right?

02:17But, you know, the Leafs are going to have a lot of money in the offseason

02:19to retool with.

02:20It's actually quite a few, like, pretty good free agents in the NHL this year, too, Scott.

02:24Well, if they don't have money, then I can see Bennett going to Vancouver finally.

02:29And if Toronto wants to win, they need to get Marchant

02:33because they thought they had it figured out with John Tavares.

02:38And how many is that?

02:39Seven tries with him?

02:40Get this, Scott.

02:41Swing and a miss.

02:43Brad Marchant is 5-0 in Game 7s in his career against the Leafs.

02:48I know.

02:48It's like Rodman with before.

02:50Just sign him.

02:50Bring him to your team.

02:52Very simple.

02:52It's crazy.

02:53They should.

02:53Great.

02:54Great to talk.
