They came out the first month, looked like a really good hockey team.

The question was, could they sustain this?

Yeah, they've evened out a little bit, but they're right there.

I think if you make it in hockey more so than any other sport, Joe, it feels like that's one where any team can win when they get in.

You guys have Tyler Kennedy every Thursday.

to start your show.

And I remember the conversations that he would have with the guys in the last couple of seasons.

He loved using the term sandpaper.

I don't know how often he uses it with you guys or how often he has used it in the past, but that's one that always sticks into my head with TK when he's on the air.

And they finally got some.

He said they need some of that.

They need to be rough around the edges.

It can't just be.

Yeah, it can't just be, hey, we still have Sidney Crosby.

We still have Evgeny Malkin.

No.

I mean, you need more than that now.

And they do.
