They had a good time, and the dogs are adorable.

The more dogs, the better in a work environment.

I get it.

I love my dog.

It's over here right now.

Yeah, it was not a thing, and certainly a practice involving the dogs would never have been a thing.

Like, oh, hey, there's William Nylander, who we don't know anything about, except he's like a great hockey player.

And he, you know, his YouTube channel.

But like, okay, he's, you know, he has dogs and he has like young pups or foster dogs or Nick Robinson.

Who knew?

Like, it just gives you a smidgen of a glimpse.

And I think people, when they are passionate about anything, they're

if they feel like they're getting a bit closer or see something they don't necessarily know, that's a good thing.

So, yeah, I'm not saying it's not a good idea.

I'm just saying it would not have been a thing that we would have ever done when we played.

I would probably say Ottawa, because I think Ottawa's best game is better than Columbus's.

Now, Columbus is an incredible heater.

All-time great, great heater.

But if Allmark was on top, you look at the underlying defensive numbers for Ottawa, they're like a top-five defensive team.

They don't give you much, and you get into a series with those guys, and they grind you down.
