So then when it gets even more personal and closer to your own home, as now a young dad, and stuff is happening around your house where you have to have a security detail police out front to make sure that your own domicile is safe, I mean, that cuts in a completely different direction.

So I don't think he's sitting there going, hey, see?

This is the player that I am because he's having this success now.

I think he just feels very fortunate to be surrounded by the group that he's surrounded by in Vegas and all the resources that he has to do what he can do as a superstar player.

Oh, interesting.

I think it would be a case study, and I think that we'd have to do it independently.

Each conversation, Brian, would need to be dissected, because no different, I feel, than any other Toronto Maple Leaf player.

Brian rides the highs and the lows.

So I know that Brian has been very supportive historically of the greatness of Mitch Marner when he was great at times with the Maple Leafs.

Same with Matthews, go down the list.

But perhaps a little bit too critical at times as well.

Very well said.

Yeah, I mean, it's interesting.

I want to say yes.

Why not a month-by-month contract?

It's almost like that's what he needs.

Yeah.

The reason I even hesitate, because look, you know, based on the timing of when he came in and the success of the Vegas Golden Knights, obviously continue to enjoy going into the Stanley Cup Final, you could...

you could build a pretty solid case that he deserves at least another year as head coach of Vegas.

The reason I hesitate in endorsing John Tortorella is because I know what they have in Ryan Craig, who's their American League coach, right?
