Just to put it in perspective for you, Sports Illustrated came out and they ranked 30 teams.

And they didn't have Ovi yet, or they got Ovi that year, and he was just a rookie or whatever it might have been.

It was close to that time frame.

And they put Washington 30th.

And then they put Carolina 29th.

And the last comment on that clip was, feel free to make them 30th.

So that's the year we won the cup.

And so you never know from year to year, you can't, I truly think that you can't just base things on what's happened.

It's what you built.

And then moving forward too, somebody's gonna win the cup this year and it works the other way as well.

You can't just assume because you won the cup this year that it's gonna be sunshine and roses next year, because that team next year has to go out and prove it, build it, earn it.

All of those things matter.

And so I 100% think it's possible everywhere.

But Toronto in the market with the personnel that they have, for sure, it's a good hockey team for somebody who is going to take over there, I believe.

And I'll never forget.

I didn't know the roommate part.

Yeah.

Yeah, sometimes things happen quick.

I remember I had one year of coaching in Wheeling in the East Coast Hockey League and I went back to Providence, right?

So I had one year as a head coach and now you have to have so much experience just to get an assistant coaching job in the East Coast Hockey League.
