I mean, when I had Paul McLean in Anaheim and we won the power play, like the best power play in the league, that's all we do.
We said we'd have the bread and butter.
If things aren't going right, you shoot the puck and you attack the net.
Play to the inside if you can and hope you get the good bounce.
And that's how you do it.
Because doing it, trying to be...
smooth and get the perfect goal is certainly not working for Montreal right now.
Well, I mean, I don't see how you can avoid, if you pick him, how the pressure being monumental on him.
I don't know if he can handle it or if he can't handle it, but it will be.
The other thing I always worry about, and I don't know if Toronto... I mean, we always say they've got to keep the number one pick.
He's that much better, if he's that much better than everybody else.
And this is a crazy thought.
I always look, okay, at McKenna.
Is he a great player?
Like, everybody...
The first pick, they always say, is generational recently.
But Lafreniere was the first pick overall where they said the same thing.
And he was a winger.
And it took him a couple years to actually get better.
And I don't know if in the environment in Toronto, if you can wait a couple years before you become an established, really established star.
