I heard the guys on Kipper and Bourne yesterday.

It's like, how many guys?

Bourne sounded exasperated.

He was just like, once you've interviewed like 20 coaches...

He compared it to you're at a restaurant and you've got a menu out and you're just like, I just have to make a decision between 20 items on the menu.

It's like you've gone to Cheesecake Factory.

The menu's too big.

There's too many coaches on this menu.

The menu's too big, which is classic media, right?

Because if a team will zero in on a coach and not really go interview anyone else, we'll kill them.

But now they've cast such a wide net.

But I think it's more, we're not really criticizing.

I think the hockey world is just curious about what's going to happen in Toronto.

Because the John Chayka hiring was not met with universal praise, to say the least.

And we don't really, really know what he's all about.

You know, we hear these stories about, well, maybe it's going to be Joe Pavelski.

Joe Pavelski?

You know, first of all, is Joe Pavelski even all that interested in taking that job?

And second of all, it's kind of like, you know, Marty St.

Louis, you can't just recreate that.
