Colby Cohen

How many times do people say that about Washington in the early 2010s?

Oh, this core can't get it done, can't get it done because they lose in the second round for 10 fucking years in a row, then they finally won the cup.

Like I said, the Leafs had, what, eight or nine cracks in the playoffs with that core, didn't do shit.

And people say they should have changed the core.

Yeah, but I'm not ready to give up on the core after one healthy playoff crack.

Well, I wouldn't say, no, no, I wouldn't say I wouldn't want him, but you'd be selling low on him right now, and I need a lot more out of him, but I'd be fine under a new coach, different usage, giving him another chance.

I wouldn't say he's part of the core, but ever since he's been playing with Jack on the first line, he's been great.

So I definitely want to keep him, but like, I wouldn't say he's like an untouchable like core piece, but I want him on the team.

Nope.

I like glasses at three C. Yeah.

Nope.

He can go.

See ya.

Gritsuk is core.

Gritsuk is core.

that's a good question I'll never understand that well at the time of the injury they were still like I mean to me they were done but they were still kind of in the race so I guess like him and his team and the team all kind of decided let's just rehab it and bring him back and then when you know if they were officially out they shut him down but yeah it's frustrating I mean I would have rather everyone knew that they were done whatever that was a month and a half ago when he got hurt so

Yeah, I mean, you can't fault a guy for saying no.

Like, I want to come back to the battle and try and make the playoffs.

But, yeah, I mean, it would be nice if he got that done a month and a half ago.

I like him as a player, but, like, he's lost a step.
