| 0:00.0 | Hockey! Yeah, my favorite. |
| 0:02.1 | It's Judd's Hockey Show. |
| 0:14.4 | Judd's Hockey Show. |
| 0:16.3 | Judd's Hockey Show on a Monday morning, it's Judd, it is A.J. Fredrickson. |
| 0:19.1 | It is a seven-game road trip that continues. |
| 0:23.1 | We are five games into a seven-game trip, largely because the world juniors have been in town at |
| 0:28.3 | Grand Casino Arena. |
| 0:29.7 | And AJ, you know, when we talked about this, I think it was with Jesse. |
| 0:31.9 | We talked about what the expectation was, right, like points-wise from a seven-game trip. |

| 1:16.6 | total, points tally, has tied Dallas in points for second place in the Central Division. So, |
| 1:23.4 | yes, you've lost two games in a shootout. And believe it or not, I want to talk about |
| 1:27.4 | the thing that I hate, one of the most in hockey, which is the shootout. But I would say this has been a pretty successful trip with games tonight against the Kings, which is a weird sort of, well, it's not a back-to-back, but it's back-to-back in the same city against same team. And then at Seattle on on Thursday before they come home to play the |
| 1:44.9 | Islanders on Saturday night. Yeah, I mean, I think it's been pretty good so far. Um, |
