I wait till I see these kids.

I want to look into the whites of their eyes here over the next few days and learn a little bit more about them.

And by the way, when I go in at Sportsnet, they hate me to death because they don't know me from a hole in the wall, some of these guys.

And they're thinking some fluffball's going to come over the thing.

It's going to be a soft question, right?

Like a soft, random question.

And then this idiot in the corner comes out of the woodwork with something on his video and says, I just want to learn a little bit more about what you were thinking here.

And they're like, who are you?

Mind your own business.

But I want to do that, right?

Like, I want to do that.

And after being in this five years from now, I hope they know who I am a little bit.

But I want to put that on them.

And part of the process is I'm going to tell you, when I see Beagle here in the next couple of days, I'm going to there is some sequences in the world that this guy bodied up against big, strong pro athletes.

Out of the face off, bounce off the check, engage net front, work a half wall cycle, spin up a check, get a loose puck in the middle of the hash marks, you know, and score a goal.

Like I'm not just talking about skill and open ice.

I'm talking interior battle and perseverance, small area escape.

Oh, my God, man.

Like this kid, this kid's really, really impressive.

So all of this I'm still unpacking.
