No, I think you do, but I don't understand.

I understand the team trying to get him signed somehow.

I get that.

But I also don't understand goalie Bob being so difficult on the contract negotiations.

I would have thought it would be a more team-friendly deal because you would think he would want to stay there with this group.

So both sides have caught me a little off guard on this one.

Well, I think Bob Roski was off as well as the team was off to, you know, but I just I think they're I think and you know what, Paul Maurice, this is a big year for Paul Maurice because he's had, you know, the two, you know, they've had the two cups.

this is a big, all of a sudden, you'd like to see how Paul coaches this year, coaches this group, because last year was a frustrating year for him.

He's done a heck of a job.

But I think they're going to be in a lot different mindset.

I think they're going to be more rested.

I think they're going to be a really good team.

And let me tell you, they're chasing, they are going after Carolina.

Trust me on that.

They're going after Carolina.

I hear the owners wild that it didn't happen.

That it's wild that it didn't happen, that he didn't sign, and they get the three first.

What does he do?

I think I would... Knowing Jimmy...

you know, like I know him and then he's, you know, when I say I know him, he's like a thorough, solid guy.
