Like, let's just lay out the timeline.

And, Roe, you could probably concur with this.

You know, the rumblings is John Chayka and Matt Sundin.

And you're like, okay, is, you know, people are like, okay, what's that going to look like?

What's that going to sound like?

Is that the best they can do?

You had a lot of people weighing in on that.

So, Monday comes the press conference.

And...

Chris Johnston was down there.

We had him on the show and we said, what was it like?

He just used the word uncomfortable, awkward, these types of adjectives because he was saying it was a bit weird.

Then Steve Simmons came with that heater question, which kind of painted them into a corner.

Everything was just noisy after that.

Now, that being said, the next day, they win the lottery.

And

In the next day, I believe that same day, correct me if I'm wrong, Ro, Chris Johnston writes an article in The Athletic saying that, you know, Austin Matthews not sure of his future, weighing out options or whatever it was.

I'm paraphrasing.

So there's just all this noise going on and all this angst.

And I think Hayes summed it up best, saying, you know, the Leaf fans haven't had much to cheer about in the last year, calendar year, when you look at really since they lost to Florida in such a terrible fashion on home ice.
