Don Taylor

And then, you know, Carter Hart is playing really, really well.

certainly out playing any goaltender that the Avalanche can serve up.

So there's those two things.

But, you know, maybe that's all you need.

I mean, what's the average length of a coach these days?

Two and a half years in the National Hockey League?

Shorter than any of the four major sports.

But if you've got a team that is very, very good and they need a spark, if you're always willing to swallow some money, maybe that's the way to do it.

You know, and it

maybe it'll start again.

It's happened before, but never really been a trend, but you just wonder if it's an example that'll be set for the rest of the NHL that maybe that maybe other teams will follow, but it just, again, I was just surprised that it's storage because they, you know, been there, done that with him, but he's certainly having an effect on this team.

And, and it's a veteran team too, that can, that can, you know, that he can handle and they can handle him.

And I think the days of, you know, him, you know,

you know, coming up with major outbursts are gone.

He's a veteran coach.

He's working with the veteran team.

Yeah.

And, you know, so I would imagine I'm wondering what is taking so long and that, you know, the only thing I think that, well, you know, negotiations can take a long time.

Obviously, you know, a lot of people have been through that sort of thing.

But I'm wondering if Manny has leverage here, if there's something being served up by the Leafs.
