Now, granted, you still have exit meetings and a lot, but it would just be like, it's going to be some awkwardness there.

I mean, the way you say I'm changing this fucking culture, like it's going to be a different training camp next year.

I didn't think he'd be back.

But then at the same time, it's like, is that just letting the players off the hook if they don't bring them back?

So they made up their mind that it's another year of Bones, and at this point, you got to expect next year in camp, it's just going to be a different vibe.

No more Mr. Nice Bones running around.

And I think for him, too, he's putting himself out there, saying he's going to change the culture.

Yeah, I think when you got your head coach who just came out of retirement, the guy was like he had a boat subscription down in Florida.

Oh, Freedom Boat Club?

Yeah, he's chilling, and all of a sudden he comes out of retirement to help turn your team around, and he's showing more emotion after missing out on playoffs than the majority of the team.

I think that it's kind of a bad look on the guy, so hopefully the ones who weren't bringing it

Um, take a look in the mirror and realize you're in the national hockey league and you're getting paid to play hockey.

And hopefully they kind of bring that effort that he wasn't seeing, but I didn't, I'll be honest.

I didn't watch them closely enough over the last 11 games to know like which guy to point the finger, but yeah,

And that's why when it's like these guys and he's probably getting that quote or hearing or seeing that video, he's like, I just fucking emptied the tank for this organization another year and try to help carry this team in the playoffs.

And I'm getting grouped in with this.

I don't think that's fair.

So.

interesting times in columbus but very excited the fact that they have bones back and what they can do with it moving forward and and going back to what we said like we're kind of playing both sides of it but i would assume that after he was done his rant there were some regrets in the way that he handled it but you can't fault the guy for showing that type of emotion because he cares and once again that's a guy who came out of retirement showing that emotion who's uh how old is he now
