Don Taylor

And he was putting up points in that league.

So that's like, it doesn't surprise me he does it here because in all honesty, it's probably easier to play the world championship than it is to play in the Swedish elite league.

Teams aren't as structured.

The teams you're playing against aren't as good either once you start not playing.

Canada, I was going to say US too, but I'm having a hard time.

Finland and these teams.

Once you start playing Slovenia and Italy and these things, that's an easier matchup for him than he's played against all year probably.

But it's one of those things.

He's obviously ready.

And that's why he's ranked second and not, okay, he might be a first-rounder kind of thing.

We've been hearing about McKenna and him as...

one two and then it's everybody else after that and whether or not it's a d or it's mahoutra or or any of these other players but like we've heard about these two being at top above the rest and again him going out and and

showing that a month before his draft, it's not like it can boost his value anymore because it is what it is, but it just reinforces what most scouts have seen in him, that he is ready, he can play at this level, and he can step into an NHL roster.

Very well, and just waiting for the start of Game 3 in Montreal.

I don't know if you guys have heard anything, but this morning, who's going to carry the torch out?

So that's always interesting when there's games at the Bell Center.

Looking forward to that.

No.

And they tend to keep things really simple but somehow dramatic.

And, of course, they have the history on their side.
