Bob Stauffer

You've gone on quite the journey.

Is there any way to... And by the way, you were a very good guest back in the day on our show.

Since then, obviously, the Oilers in an analytics role, and then you ended up with New Jersey, and now you're at AGM with Carolina.

But is there any way for you to equivocate how you feel right now, just how jacked and how incredible...

and emotional that was for you from a personal perspective, but also to see your organization and team success?

Your organization was jokingly referred to by some, not all, but by some as the Carolina Brainiacs, which may be underscored, you know, that you've got different personalities in there, you know, strong character with your head coach and Rod Brindamore.

But you guys are kind of seen as a new wave organization with Tom Dundon, your owner, and obviously Eric Tulsky, your general manager, and yourself may be taking a little bit different routes than some of the traditional people at work in upper executive roles in the NHL.

Just a thought on sort of the unique team you guys have built there off the ice.

You know, Tyler, it's interesting.

I think, and we had Brian Lawton on in the last segment, and he is, first of all, he knows Tom Dundon, and he's been one of the guys that's been a real advocate for the analytics community.

You know that for a number of years.

He knows Sonny Mehta.

He knows Tim Barnes.

He knows you.

You know, he's really happy for the opportunity that Michael Parchetti is getting with the Oilers.

Sure.

Yeah.

But one of the things we talked about was how perception changes in a year.

I mean, think of, you know, and hey, Florida beat Edmonton too.

They're a tough out.
