0:04.9

Wings tonight, I think this is it.

0:07.3

I don't care what level of Izer bot you are, how much you do or don't like the rebuild.

0:12.9

You got to win the night.

0:14.1

If they don't win the night, their playoff odds go to 40%.

0:17.2

If you don't win the night, you will have lost a home game against the team off of back-to-back

0:22.3
