It's great.
You've got arguably the two best.
I think they are the two best players right now.
If I'm picking two guys that I want up the middle of the ice, I'm taking these two guys.
For sure.
For sure.
Incredible luxury to have.
But McKinnon, you know, last year during the regular season had a better year, and right now he's had a better year.
So, you know, it's, yeah, I guess I'll confirm it.
I guess I'm talking myself into a confirmation here.
regular season though i mean playoffs like you say that one guy lost the first round and the other guy went to the cup final so one guy's got a ring the other guy doesn't but it's true i hear you i hear it's again it's a it's a totally positive conversation to have because you got the two best guys and this is what comes this is the point i made after the four nations that i think is important to continue to bring up you look at like the top of the nhl and again points aren't everything
But it's McKinnon, McDavid, Bedard, Celebrini.
It's McCarr on defense.
Consistently throughout the history of the sport internationally, the best player has always been Canadian, and they still are.
So, yes, the Americans have depth, and Sweden's got depth, and Finland's good.
No one can touch Canada when it comes to the best player.
It was Howe into Orr into Gretzky into Lemieux into Crosby into McDavid into McKinnon, and it looks like it could be into Celebrini, Bedard, and you keep going.
And that's generally the kind of icebreaker.
Who's got the best guy?
