0:00.0	Apps fans, we talk a lot about the Colorado Avalanche here at DNVR, obviously,
0:04.0	but wanted to take a step behind enemy lines and take a look at the other side of the matchup,
0:10.0	and that is the LA Kings.
0:12.0	With me to do that here today, I have Zach Dooley, LA Kings Insider.
0:16.0	Zach, thank you so much for hopping on and talking about what's going to be a really fun matchup here.
0:21.6	I think so. I mean, first things first, it's someone that's not the Edmonton Oilers,
0:26.6	so that's exciting right there.

1:07.1	They could have played Edmonton home, Edmonton away, Anaheim away or Colorado away, all of which had these ridiculous combinations of things that needed to happen.
1:15.6	It was weird because you leave on the road and the Kings had a three-game trip to close the year.
1:20.6	And it's like you pack him for four days or you pack them for 12 days? You don't even know.
1:24.6	And then you're like, okay, well, by Thursday you'll know. And you didn't
