But if you're in the people industry, you...

analytically driven, data-driven, evidence-based people can't be prepared based on what they're doing with a spreadsheet on real-life stuff being thrown at you.

Case in point, what's happening in Ottawa today, right?

No one could sit there and say, let me go back to the computer and figure out what happens when our captain goes on a podcast with his dad.

There's no evidence for that.

There's no data for that.

There's no way to prepare yourself for that.

You know what you got to do?

You got to be a people person.

You got to have real-life experience.

And you got to make sure that somehow you get a message across where it resonates with your players.

Because the Senators, like they got Buffalo in town tonight.

And it is just a circus around this team.

Like an absolute circus around this team right now with the Kachuk podcast, with the Allmark stuff, with, you know, they've had a lot of stuff going on around them.

They finally made the playoffs last year for the first time in six or seven years.

Now they might miss.

And now you're going to question going into the offseason, what is the future of Brady Kachuk?

What are they going to do with their goaltender, who's their most important player?

Their captain?

Yeah, we've got the clips.
