It's the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.

I mean, these guys just put their heart and soul on the ice for 60 minutes plus.

They've already got the silver medal, and they've gone through that whole song and dance, and now we're going to hand them a stuffed animal?

I loved his reaction because at the same time, like I might've thrown it back at the person.

I'm not kidding you.

I thought it was stupid.

I don't know why we put these players in those positions.

And I, you know, the poor video is going to become some kind of a gift and live on forever.

But I don't know what we were doing to your point.

Colorado has to play Wednesday in Utah.

I'll be shocked.

I mean,

if they end up playing some of their go-to guys on Wednesday.

I think they will rest them on Wednesday.

I'd be surprised if both McKinnon and McCarr played in that game, and maybe even Brock Nelson might get the night off in Utah, come back, and have a full lineup for Minnesota in that second of back-to-backs for them.

Super weird how the league – and again, the NHL's got to do what they got to do.

They want to give their –

their league a chance to shine on that big stage, which they certainly did.

And they're going to get a ton of juice from it.

But to come back as soon as Wednesday night, when most of these players aren't flying back till Monday or Tuesday and some are going to the white house, it to me seems like you're putting these players in a bad spot.
