So they were, in the case of Lindy Ruff,

You know, congratulations to him on the Sabres.

I heard Dan Dunleavy on the radio yesterday saying the guy that emerged for him, and I didn't catch this through the whole series, but he said the guy that emerged was Owen Power.

And I thought that was really, we all saw Darlene and how great he is.

Yeah.

But I thought that was a really interesting first overall pick.

had a good series so that was good for buffalo and you know now they've got to figure out the tuck thing for montreal i just thought you know it was right back to and craig we'll get into your situation at edmonton in a bit but mac t said when you were discussing with him about you know communication when connor said uh you know asked why you don't play that system he said that's a question for number and

even after game six a year before he maybe hinted at being upset at adjustments and Craig's response was as a captain you know that relationship with the coach is critical and they have to be able to suggest in-game adjustments and that that's he said maybe that was knobbers as Connor calls and maybe that was his failing if he didn't think that there was a way to make that happen between him and Leon and Connor because you do see it with Suzuki and Marty and it's fascinating to watch that they are really in communication all through the game and

Yeah, a very special story.

Well, for sure, Doc, as you know, he should have picked up Darlene going on the left wing, but he also had the responsibility to pick up Power because Power was, you know, right down Main Street to the net.

So he was betwixt and between, as anybody would be.

So it looked like a mistake, but it wasn't a really bad mistake, and you're right.

St.

Louis knows that.

I think Caden Gooley, he's been masterful with a young Gooley.

Everybody on that team, Dobish, the goaltender.

So I like, so my idea, Bob, for Edmonton is call it crazy, but if you're the GM, I think Mack T should be the coach.

And I mean, he's still a baby at 67 years.

Quenbo's 67, Tortorella's 67, Lindy Ruff will be 67 this year, Rick Bonas is 71.

So he's certainly young by standards of the guys who are successful.
