Paul Bissonnette

It's the dead weight they're carrying with Bang Guy.

And you know he's going to be in attendance.

I don't even know.

I'm going to be buying his tickets.

Do you think the content piece with the Pittsburgh Mayor was what really got you guys sparked this year and got you guys going?

That was unbelievable.

Oh, you leaned into that nice, and people were loving it.

Your guys' admin's been crushing it this year as far as even the love you guys showed to the fans in that video you guys posted the other day for supporting you guys through the dark times, and what a quick turnaround it was.

You probably have this pressure on you to get Crosby back to the playoffs with this group, and

Just hiring a coach who's never been a head coach in the NHL.

What was that process like for you?

That's awesome.

I mean, we could keep going down the list.

Like I was talking about it on TNT because we had you yesterday about you should probably be top three nominee for GM management of the year.

Who do you credit like along with you and the rest of your staff?

Because you look, I think Jazz pointed out like 10 or 11 guys have had career years.

You brought in guys like Brazeau, Mantha, Novak having a career year, Chinnikov, who that kid is so fun to watch.
