with the historic issue historical issues we've had on linguistic politics and quebec versus the rest of the country i think it's just great for the country it was one of what i thought was that maybe it's a function of my day job these days but when i saw emmanuel macron holding up tech

XCA jersey with the premier, the new premier of Quebec.

I thought it was, you know, that's a great moment because even when you think of our historical issues with Quebec and France, he has to hold, the president of France has to hold up a jersey where the team name is the Canadians.

So it all kind of works out in the end.

And I will say, I was in Carolina for the game on Saturday with my daughter.

And it's a very positive, festive atmosphere down there as well.

They're very welcoming of people.

We were proudly wearing our Habs jerseys at the game.

It's probably 5%, 10% of the crowd were wearing Habs jerseys.

And they were fighting, but they were doing it politely.

It was great.

It was really good.

That's kind of a cool moment, I think.

Yeah, and I think the point you're making about the organizational development is a good one, right?

Because even if you're not a hockey fan, you have to admire what they did.

As someone who's definitely a big Canadiens fan, I've been excited about these young players for a long time since they were drafted.

I think last year, I think this is right.

I'm sure I'll be corrected by the many fans if I'm wrong.

But I think last year, Montreal was the youngest team to ever make the Stanley Cup playoffs.

And this year, they're also the youngest team to ever make the Stanley Cup playoffs.
