But he's not out there yet.

Actually, well, they're not open yet.

Okay, that's the issue.

Listen, I think in Edmonton there's maybe been a little bit of, well, it's a big storyline there, but I don't think it's necessarily detracted from what's happening on the ice because the games have been so compelling.

And a lot of people went in there and said, oh, God, Carolina versus Vegas.

I understand that or not.

Carolina is a nondescript team.

Vegas, by all accounts,

They're just one of those, you know, they're not such a traditional team in any way, shape, or form.

But what's happened on the ice has changed all of that.

And I think, you know, it's kind of become this must-see TV, especially now we're into a best-of-three.

No leaders say you don't know what's going to happen.

And whatever storylines are happening off the ice,

It doesn't really matter because when the puck drops, it's just been absolute chaos and it's been a lot of fun to be a part of and to see it firsthand.

Yeah, it speaks a lot.

And you know what else it might speak to is they're sitting here watching Vegas, who got rid of their head coach, brought in John Tortorella, who has a reputation as a strong disciplinarian, a no-nonsense guy, and say what you want, a motivator.

Mike Babcock has the same reputation and an even better pedigree

and resume than John Tortorella as far as winning goes.

So maybe they're seeing the success that Vegas had literally immediately.

You know, their season was lost, and then Tortorella rolls in there.
