Like if we're watching McDavid tonight,

Is he cheating?

Is he not sticking to the game plan?

Is he looking for offense by staying on the wrong side of the puck?

Things that you would criticize any player for, including him, I want him to be mindful that the spotlight's on him because I expect him to be great when that's the case.

They've got a lot of issues, though.

Leon Dreistad over in Europe, going to soccer matches, talking about, I hope we go deep in the playoffs so I can play again.

There's a lot happening there, and none of it is great.

And they're looking like they're going to play Vegas in the first round, which Vegas hasn't had a great season either, but that's a really tough first-round matchup.

I think it's the worst season they're ever going to have.

Yeah.

As an organization, perhaps.

Right.

I told you that six weeks ago, O, and you told me I was high.

And he was going to be the starter.

Yeah.

That's the thing.

It's not just this year that they have hitched those two remaining McDavid years to a Tristan Jari contract.

And you're like, well, hang on.

Almost the entirety of the McDavid savings, if you can't get rid of Tristan Jari for a new goalie next year, will be eaten up by whatever you're paying Tristan Jari not to play net for you.
