Canadian dollar is what it is.

The taxes.

There's a lot of different things that the Canadian fan is naturally concerned about.

which a lot of them are legitimate.

And there's also an understanding that there are warm southern American markets where players can go and be completely left alone because, for the most part, nobody cares and nobody knows who they are.

There's some people that do, and they sell at the buildings.

But you can walk down the main street in a lot of cities, and you have complete anonymity.

So with that reality and that juxtaposition,

It's the play.

You know, like if I put myself in that player X on team Y. Yeah.

whoever it is, American, Canadian, whatever, in a Canadian market, I'm thinking I want to leave.

The move is spin, this place is crazy, right?

Not spin, hey, I wasn't good enough.

Not spin, hey, I can't win here.

Spin, the media's nuts.

Fans are way too crazy.

What do you expect out of me?

And it lands a lot of times.

It works because I've noticed it.

In Ottawa, people are losing their minds at media.
