Ian McIntyre

Does he play without the weight of the world on his shoulders?

Because I think we've all seen that this is a guy who just doesn't look like he's enjoying his craft, his profession.

He's a guy who doesn't smile, and, you know, that's fine.

Not everybody is trying to impress others with their effervescence, but...

You know, you have to be really good at anything.

You have to love what you're doing.

You have to enjoy it.

I don't think it's been enjoyable for Pedersen.

And I'm not suggesting anyone should feel sorry for him.

I think all of this criticism, for the most part, has been earned with his underperformance.

But I think they're just trying to take that baggage off him and see how he does.

Just try to refresh him a little bit.

Yeah, I mean, it is a complication.

But they seem to be pretty confident.

And I understand why, because if you have, I mean, Henrik told me last week, you know, they're all adults in the room.

And if you have responsible, conscientious people, guys who just are driven to be good professionals, no matter what the situation, no matter who's coaching them, no matter who they're coaching, they're always just trying to put the team first and be great at what they do.

then yeah, it shouldn't really matter that there's a father and son, but it's more nuanced than that.

But they are being consistent about this.

Are we talking about it too much?

I think they probably feel that we are.
