Head out now to the Rood guest hotline.

Say hello to the rooster Chris Russell, the host of the Chris Russell show on Team 980.

What's up, Rooster? Good morning.

Good morning, guys. How are you?

It's the rooster.

We are doing well.

Hey, before we talk Manders, how you feeling about the caps tonight?

A little bit nervous. A little bit nervous.

The third period has been squarely in both games, as everybody has seen.

And if they didn't have Logan Thompson, they probably would have lost four two the other night.

You know, he bailed them out, but they've got to get a lot better puck possession, clearing the zone, all of that.

They've got to bury some biscuits earlier in the game.

You know, they had the two quick ones four minutes into the second period after they went

down one-nothing on Wednesday night.

So that was good, but there hasn't been enough sustained finishing offense to counter Montreal

surge.

And guys, you know, I've watched hockey for 40 plus years.

I think you guys talked about this yesterday morning with somebody. I can't remember who.

Yeah, it was Smith Pelley. Yeah, that place is insane. That place is berserk. 22,000 plus they are, I mean, look, we all know the atmosphere of Capital One Arena is awesome.

That's 185 or whatever it is.

This is 22 plus.
