Maybe he got kicked in the eye by the horse when he was coaching the Flyers or something.

That's what I thought happened to Chief.

Yes.

So I think, you know, their underlying numbers are good.

But yeah, you mentioned the Canucks.

They got the Flames tonight.

They had two days of practice.

Now they got the Flames tonight.

Now they go on a four-game road trip out west, right?

Edmonton, Vancouver, Seattle, Colorado.

Now you can kind of get together with the team and do that.

As you know, on the road trip, that's when that happens.

Plus, after the Edmonton game, they could fly to Vancouver that night, have two days of practice before they play the Canucks.

and then come back home for two more.

And now, okay, give me three weeks.

It's like a training camp mindset to get the guys ready to go, to get them playing together, and just to reset them.

You know, because again, they are who they are.

And let's face it, this is more of a veteran team.

Remember, Torts had, at the end of Columbus, they were going to rebuild, right?

I don't want to be a part of this.
