0:00.0	Welcome to the Capitals Face Off podcast presented by Commuter Connections.
0:15.1	Hey, welcome in Capitals fans to the Capitals Face Off podcast, brought to you by CSN.
1:12.7	I am your host, the Capitals correspondent, J Regan. Sitting next to me, he is the Capitol's insider. He is the Woodhouse to my Archer. He is Tark L. Bashir. Tark? These are getting more and more obscure. My Woodhouse to... What? Do you not know that? No idea. Knowing your juvenile sense of humor, I would have figured you were an Archer fan. Archer, that was a comic strip? No, no, no, no, no, no. Archer is a foul-mouth cartoon show on FX. And it is hysterical. Really? So I need to check this out. You need to check this out. You would love it. Is he like a little kid or something? No, he's a secret agent. Yeah, I have no idea what you're talking about. It's hysterical. Okay. Well, I'm looking for something to, I'm looking for a new show, so I'll check it out. Well, as we get ready for to talk about NHL playoffs, which we will talk about a lot today. There was something I wanted to bring up because when you think about the NHL playoffs,

1:48.6	There are podcasts about dunk.
1:51.0	There are documentaries about dunks.
1:53.7	It's two points.
1:54.9	It's two points.
1:55.9	Yeah, but there is something about posterizing an opponent, you know, hanging there on the rim, your junk's
2:03.1	hanging in her face, and they're helpless to have stopped you from defying gravity and throwing
2:08.7	that ball down. I don't know, man. I kind of like the dunk. I'll be honest, it's one of the few things
2:14.4	on a highlight show that I look forward to.
2:20.1	They're the exact same play.
2:21.2	But it's overrated.
2:23.7	It's overrated in the fact that it's only worth two points,
2:26.0	and it's not worth, you know, it's not like some, you know,
2:29.5	it's, like you said, it's worth two points in a game where there's going to be 200 points scored.
