American teams would be lined up offering assets and cash and prizes and whatever they got to, tractor trailers and all that stuff to get these guys.

And so I think that's the next thing.

But it does take time.

It seems like forever in a sport that is so beloved, that is a religion in Canada.

Like in Montreal, I don't know if you've seen the video, there is an actual church there.

A real church, hundreds of years old, that is serving as a sports bar during this run.

They are in the pews, drinking Canadian Molson's and with their sweaters on and cheering up and down, watching the game on a big screen in the church.

Truly religion.

So, so cool up there and they're good people and they apologize for a lot of things they don't have to and sorry and all this and that.

And so I always root for Canada.

I do.

Yeah, that was a long time ago, too.

That was a stretch to L.A.

and the Kings in that run.

So, listen, I don't know what's going on there.

Some of it I would offer up to frustration after a tough series and another season where they didn't get to the promised land.

Again, after two straight years of getting to the Stanley Cup final, losing in seven, losing in six.

Look, Dreisaitl's there for the long haul, it looks like.

He's signed forever.

You know, the McDavid question is the great question.
