That girl's still been rapping.

Ilya.

Yeah, we talked about it on the broadcast too, the fact that with the amount of pressure and the amount of things that could pull somebody with that much fame and power in the wrong direction, yet these guys play 20 years, carry the league, do what they do statistically.

They win all the hardware.

Each of them got their Stanley Cup.

And then to get through those 20 years where nothing, no fucking, no deweys, no fucking bullshit off the ice, no scandals.

And to the full other spectrum of it is just carry themselves with complete class, grace, and represent our game the best way they possibly could.

There was a video that came out on SportsCenter.

Steve Levy kind of quarterbacked it.

and it was just all these people uh from the the dc area just communicating to ovi um in person just how much of an impact they made on their lives and uh and and you know i think that obviously he got the attention because the rumor is that he's going to be um done with but i can only imagine the video that'll come out for sid when it's his time to finally hang him up and

I don't know, like I said on the broadcast too, like the volatility of me thinking he's retiring to not retiring, it's like a stock market.

I'm like up and down, up and down.

You know, you come into the season, the guy selling season tickets who won actually, he won a free trip because he sold the most season tickets for the Capitals, which was nice.

He puts out the email, hey, Ovi's last season, get your season tickets here.

Well, I was getting there, Murr.

I was going through the volatility.

Well, you bookmarked my volatility, but then all of a sudden you're like 60%

70 games go by and this guy hasn't taken a D zone draw.

So you're thinking there's no way a guy who a coach wouldn't rely on, who could put out there for a D zone face-off, even though we scored over a thousand goals in this league, regular season and playoff for sure.

He's done.
