So, um,

But at the end of the day, then there's the side of it, well, I am getting paid a lot of money to do nothing, so that's the good part.

I'd rather be working, to be honest.

So that's where it's landed, and hopefully it gets resolved.

We'll see.

Yeah, we have an association, right?

So it's, it's, it's, you know, they do a good job for all the coaches to get together and sort of spitball ideas and, you know, get, you know, if you don't have an agent compare salaries, you know, Lindsay's done a really good job running it.

And, you know, the coaches are involved in the board and we'll meet with the league at times to help, but we give our opinion on, you know, the odd rule change and whatnot, but,

Uh, I think it's more for the younger guys to, to get some knowledge, be around the older guys here to, and maybe, you know, learn a few things in your, if you are negotiating your own deals and stuff such, but I mean, it was good that they were standing behind one of their coaches.

I appreciate that.

Um, but I, you know, I, I think at the end of the day, I've just got to find a way to, to, to get to Vegas and.

and see if they'll you know let me go do you think it's something that after the playoffs then there's a better chance of it happening or for them it's like yeah I would think so just the fact that I respect that they're busy focusing on winning a cup I get that I don't on the other hand I think you know they're a well-run organization I think they could take the time to do a couple things at once but that's kind of the answer I've been given a little bit so I have to respect that and like I said I've

I worked for those guys for almost four years and had a ton of respect for them, and I hope, you know, it ends up getting resolved.

Simple as that.

Yeah, and I think...

you know, there's always truth to like, I'm an intense guy.

So sometimes I'll challenge guys to be better and how I message.

Sometimes I'll go, okay, you need to do a better job with that.

Maybe that has to be one-on-one.

Sometimes you're doing in video.
