Pierre LeBrun

were going to beat Slovakia, how excited he was to be in this matchup after having to watch it on TV a year ago,

If I could describe the smile from one ear to the other that was on his face, he is so jacked up to be in that game Sunday and to throw his body around.

And I will share this, too.

Wilson said that he was mad at himself for laying off some hits that were there in Wednesday's quarterfinal against Czechia because he was so scared to take a penalty that he didn't play his normal game.

And he said today, he said, heck with it.

He went back to his game and

and he was a real physical force, so they'll need that from him on Sunday.

Right on, right on.

Okay, guys, thanks for having me on.

Look forward to seeing you guys back in town.

Yeah, I mean, he's been scouring the market for a while.

And, you know, we've talked about Luke Shen on Insider Trading.

I think that'd be a wonderful fit to bring him back again, pending UFA.

Dougie Hamilton's a much more complicated situation.

We know that the Leafs are among the teams that are on Hamilton's approved trade list.

Where it goes from there, I'm not quite sure.

There's no way the Leafs can afford $9 million a year, which is what he makes for two and a half years.

But I know the Leafs have batted that around internally and a host of other D options.

You know, what's hard right now, not just for the Leafs, but for other teams that I've talked to all week, is they're waiting for more teams to declare themselves as sellers.

Look at the East, man.
