And that's the end of the story.

I will say one thing.

When everybody's pumping your tires, and we talked about this with Brooks Koepka, you don't owe anybody anything.

But when everyone's pumping your tires and you're happy to go out with the media,

Him and Jack Eichel are the two stars of the team, or two of them.

You've got to go out there and talk to people after and address it after the game.

And neither of them did, which I think is ridiculous.

But like Brooks Koepka said, you don't owe anybody everything.

So he was the best player in the playoffs, and he couldn't have anybody step up, including the goaltender, Eichel, anybody else to bail him out.

And that's what happened.

He was the best player in all the playoffs.

In game five and six, like the rest of his teammates, he wasn't worth it.

Folded.

Like, these guys are just way better at everything than all these other teams.

And I got that sense pretty early.

Like, just being around the Carolina Hurricanes –

and Roddy, what he does for that organization.
