It was a seven to two beat down at the hands of the Nashville Predators.

Alan May, if I set the over, under at nine and a half minutes that you have interest in this podcast, you're going over or under?

Well, I'm always interested talking hockey, but, you know, we were had to suffer through this since 8 p.m., 8.15 p.m. tonight.

And I'm ready to go have a few beers, a few vodka,

a few somethings, and, uh, I felt that way around mid-second period. Oh, God, I wanted to drink

earlier.

Would have made for a much better post-cageant. Yeah, but got to drive, so can't do that. But once

I pack that car, I'm going to belly up gonna belly it's on I'm gonna belly up to the

back Ryan Billy we kind of had a feeling this could be one of those quote-unquote

scheduled losses when we got late word that there'd be no Braden holpey and Phoenix

Copley for the first time in his career, playing on back-to-back nights.

Confidence level decreased as the day wore her on.

And when we heard that, yeah, I didn't feel good.

We were right.

We were like Nostradamus or something.

Or something like that, yeah.

We should have all been drinking all night.

We will suffer through.

I'm Rob Garland's the Capitals Talk podcast and it starts now.

Everybody up for the Predators inside a Bridgestone Arena as time expires. Nashville, down's the

cats by a seven-two decision. It really did feel like from the second you heard, I think this is going to be Copley tonight.

You knew something wasn't quite right with Holpe.
