And I know Hedman hurt his groin, but I think about Tampa.

Like, points, not having to go.

Sorelli, not having to go.

Vasilevsky, Kucherov, Radish.

All their best players, Hagel went.

A lot of their best players didn't go.

That could have gone.

They were already a good team.

They were already sort of a cup contender.

I think that team, as much as any, and it's not because of anything that their players did at the Olympics.

is because so many of their players didn't go to the Olympics that they will benefit from the two weeks off.

And while Florida is struggling to get their guys back on the roster and win whatever else is going on league fatigue-wise, I think they should feel healthier and more rejuvenated other than Hedman, who I don't think was healthy to begin with going over there.

And that's one of the stories, guys, about the Olympics.

One of the lessons maybe Canada could have learned, but I think a lot of teams...

Players wanted to go so bad, players were saying they were healthy and take me when they were not.

I don't think Victor Hedman was healthy going over there.

I don't think Brad Marchand was healthy going over there.

The guys were going and they were getting taken, even though they were completely compromised.

That's not a good move for the teams.

You got to be honest with themselves, but that's a bit of an aside.
