Yes, I'm surprised and impressed.
The biggest fight we had before we went to Nagano...
was I insisted on NHL referees and linesmen.
That fight went on for almost, I'd say, four to six weeks before the IHF finally backed down.
And I dug in on it, and Gary Bettman backed me up on it.
I said, we need NHL officials.
That's what we had, and I still think that's what we should have.
But to be fair to the IHF officials, number one, they've got a blend of NHL guys and good NHL guys to teach them and mentor them.
And two, the standard has moved and changed over time.
They're allowing a lot more now, not calling all the ticky-tacky garbage they used to call.
Yes, this predates my time with the Canucks.
I was at the NHL, right-hand man to Gary Bevin from 93 to 98.
I went to the Olympics.
I left the NHL right after Nagano.
Well, Dominic Hasek stood on his head.
He was unbelievable in that tournament.
He won six seasons.
There's a reason he's in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
He was the difference for me.
So I think anyone could have, the way the game, for one guy to dominate like that, that could happen in any tournament.
