Doesn't seem to apply anymore.

What was the dog culture like in your day, MJ?

Well, that's the concern in Ottawa to a lot of people, MJ, is the goaltending, right?

And they've been near the bottom of the league, if not right at the bottom of the league, and teams save percentage far too often for their liking or anyone's liking.

Right now they're sitting five points back.

I think they've got like a 45% probability of making it according to MoneyPuck, you know, nearly a coin flip, but far from a guarantee.

Exactly.

You say their best game is better than Columbus, but they don't bring their best game on a regular basis.

What's holding these guys back beyond the obvious of the bad goaltending?

That adds to the expense.

But, yeah, like that's one of the reasons why all these return to office protocols have been, you know, there's been some pushback.

Yes, because they got dogs at home.

Yeah, we had a mutt named Stitches.

A mutt?

Yeah, I don't even know what kind it was.

It was a multi-breed, I guess.

And it was named Stitches because it got into a lot of trouble.

It was always fighting raccoons and other feral animals.

And then it ran away, and I was heartbroken, and I've never had a dog since.

Unmistakably Canadian.
