And I even go back to, Bob, when they won the Cup in 23, I remember they'd kind of screwed up a game against Dallas.

And the next game, they started that fourth line again with Nikola.

And it was just, Carrier was on that line.

They really stuck to their convictions of what kind of a player wins the games when the going gets tough.

And that's all Kelly.

And a little bit, as I say, Georgia McPhee.

I think the spit and vinegar comes from the two of them.

Well, I do, Bob.

I worry, and you must too.

We all listen to Austin Matthews trying to figure out, can the Leafs win?

Does Connor get to win in Edmonton?

That's a bit of a concern that's kind of tempered for me by the development.

The pipeline in Canada is just unreal right now, whether it's the rink in Winnipeg or...

You know, the programs that are happening in Edmonton and in Vancouver that are producing these kids, you know, whether it's Dylan Gunther, you know, just so many great players are being produced that the skill is off the charts.

Celebrini Bedard over the Vancouver way.

And you could include McKenna and you can include Dylan Cousins coming out of Whitehorse down there to develop.

So that for me, the NHL is the beneficiary of the game in Canada.

He's still really, really healthy.

I mean, that was a great Memorial Cup, two great teams.

Yeah, that part I'm good with, but I am a little concerned about, you know, 1993, the last time Canada won a Cup, and they're the driver of the economy in the league.
