But because there's so many great Canadian players, right?

You're not going to have true best on best because...

If it was, you'd just have Canada field how many teams?

Like two or three, probably?

Get the Latvians out of there, no offense.

Team USA maybe could field like a second, you know, two and a half teams, whatever.

And it's three, it's two and a half, three weeks.

And it's closest to best on best you'll get.

And that's it.

Stanley Cup playoffs is there's a lot of good players.

It's a rougher, more physical, more demanding style.

It's the end.

It's how many?

It's two months, basically.

Yeah, just the playoffs.

And that's after you've played six months just to make sure you get there.

I would think for somebody with his basic sensibilities and kind of obsessiveness about hockey, it's pretty easy to see why he would value the cup more than what amounts to like an exceptionally high end playoff.

quasi exhibition he's been a penguin for 20 years which is a long ass time he's been a Canadian for his entire life for 38 years to me if he said the Olympics were a bigger deal it would be like a United States like a golfer an elite golfer saying the Ryder Cup matters more to me than winning like the Masters or a major tournament

Which none of them ever say.

No, but that's different, though.
