00:00Well, we're hoping to get, and I think we're going to get one more game seven here in the
00:05opening round for it's all said and done tonight, Winnipeg taking on St. Louis, St. Louis at home,
00:11got to feel confident. Some injury concerns with Winnipeg. What are you, what are we getting here
00:16tonight? You think? Yeah. You know, no Mark Sifley. He didn't travel with Winnipeg. That's
00:22that's significant. He's their number one center, amazing chemistry with Kyle Connor. They're both
00:27inside the top 12 and goals scored this year. And they just got Gabriel Velarde, the linemate
00:32from those two guys back in the lineup, but unfortunately no Sifley. So that leaves them
00:37pretty thin up the middle, like Vladislav Domestikov. It sounds like he's going to play
00:42on the first line. And you know, that's, it's not great. It's not a great outlook for the jets.
00:47And I wanted them to be aggressive at the deadline. We all know how good Connor Hellebuck is overall.
00:52He's going to win another Vezna. He may win the heart trophy is one of the nominations as well.
00:57Uh, that the NHL announced this week, but you can't put it all on him. And he hasn't been great
01:02in this series in St. Louis. He was pulled in game three. He was pulled in game four. The blues
01:06outscored the jets 12 to three in those two games. So I do expect, uh, St. Louis to get the better of
01:13the jets here tonight and, and force a seven. So I'd be looking at some guys like Pablo Buchnevich and
01:18Robert Thomas to hit the score sheet. They, they had five points each in those two games. They have
01:23seven points each in the series. Maybe you can have some combo for both of those guys,
01:26uh, to pick up a point. Colton Pareko, uh, leads the team in shot attempts and shots.
01:31Is it a fenceman? 22 attempts and 12 shots. And Cam Fowler has 21 attempts and 10 shots and nine
01:36points. So they've gotten a lot of offense from their blue line. And I think that's an underrated
01:40part of the St. Louis blues. They have a lot of offensive defensemen like Justin Falk as well,
01:44uh, who can put the puck towards the goal and contribute on the power play. So I do like the blues
01:49tonight to take care of business at home. I do expect it to be a lower scoring game. The jets
01:53are going to have to tighten things up, but I don't really know where they're going to get
01:55their offense from without their number one center tonight.
