To now go back, do what the American players did at 11 in Miami last night, go to Washington today, and then Austin's got to, what, fly to Tampa tonight and play tomorrow?

Like, it's going to be impossible.

Body clock for sure will be messed up.

The game will start at 1 a.m.

body clock time.

But even more than that, just sort of emotionally and sort of mentally trying to check back in, it's going to be impossible.

If you could, if you were in a position where the Leafs are not...

I would like Nathan McKinnon.

Take a take a lap.

Take a few days.

Get yourself whatever you need to get to Minnesota, Dallas, any team that's comfortable.

I would not ask those guys to play until maybe the weekend.

Just give them a couple of days to reset.

But if you're Brady Kachuk or Austin Matthews or Dylan Larkin, like you don't have the luxury of doing any of that.

So you got to go and get get playing tomorrow, which is it's got to be really hard, though.

Probably the team that won, honestly.

I think they're chasing this high.

They've also had a big party for a little bit as well.

And it would be hard not to be thinking about it all the time.

I think, Noodles, if you lost the gold medal game, you almost would want.
