Dimitri Filipovich

Yes.

But Ben Hutton, this is my random Canucks grievances that I come up with while watching the Stanley Cup playoffs.

I've got it.

I had another one, too, which was Linus Carlson versus Brett Howden.

Howden signed for five more years at 2.5.

Right.

And it's like, that's the deal that you should assign Linus Carlson to, you know, or the updated version of that.

Anyway, last one.

sneaking in and catching fire stop it this doesn't happen carolina's fourth conference final in eight years vegas is fourth and nine this is only colorado's second in nine years but they've been one of the best teams in the league for a decade and then montreal is a weird case but i think it's important that they didn't buy at the deadline or rush michael hage to the show right like they were

focused on being where carolina is and their actions tell us that that they're still looking at the like this is a bonus for them yeah because of how they position themselves so don't try to build some team to miracle their way through the playoffs the way vegas has no i'm kidding uh build a durable contender montreal that's what you got yeah montreal is also clearly an ascendant team

Yes.

Yes.

But there's a lesson in them beating Buffalo while Buffalo scratched the useless step defenders that didn't fit their lineup and who they overpaid for at the deadline, right?

I mean, there's a lesson in which team had their eye on the ball of building one of these anything-can-happen teams versus building something durable, right?

And Montreal outperformed the Sabres on the ice.

But more than that, you know, they've clearly demonstrated a more sophisticated understanding of who their team is and where they're at.

the Chicago thing still blows my mind.

Like, I can't believe that people accept that they're like routine losing is considered to be a plan.

You know, like Mike, Mike Greer has basically been on the job three years.

You know, like the people think of that San Jose rebuilds been long and it hasn't, they really only started tearing it down with that Brent Burns trade three years ago.
