Jim, I don't think enough people are talking about the season that Darcy Kemper has been having for the Kings. We hear a lot about, I mean, obviously, Connor Hellebuck. You hear about Dustin Wolfe in Calgary. But Darcy Kemper has been lights out all season for the Kings. We know he had that big year for Colorado a few years back. Then he went to Washington.
And maybe some people kind of forgot that this is actually a very good, good goaltender. Just from your perspective, has he gotten enough credit? Because it feels like he could be the team MVP this year.

So after four straight years of the same playoff series, what's your take on the league maybe considering going back to the 1-8 situation instead of what we've had now? I know that it feels like it's a pretty polarizing topic. Some people are really for it. Some people are really against it. But when I see this situation, my first thought is, man, why not just go back to 1-8, 2-7, 3-6? Yeah.

So, Jim, I want to ask you about something that I've been very excited to ask you about. I was a little surprised that my cohorts on this show are not familiar with the movie Mystery Alaska because it's one of the best hockey movies. It could be top five. It's a really good hockey movie. It was made in 1999. Mike Myers was in it.

Hank Azaria is amazing in it.

Russell Crowe. Yes. He convincingly played a hockey player. But someone else who was in it was Jim Fox. Jim Fox was in it. He had an awesome scene with Mike Myers, one of the best scenes in the movie. I just wanted to ask you, what do you remember about doing this? Now it's been like 25 years ago. I think it's one of the iconic hockey movies of this generation. Just what's your take of it?

How much fun was it working with Mike Myers?

Jim, yesterday was a fairly significant anniversary in LA Kings lore. It was the 43-year anniversary of the miracle on Manchester. For those of you who don't know, the Kings were down 5-0 in a playoff game going into the third period against Wayne Gretzky, Marc Messier, Yari Curry, Grant Fuhrer, yada, yada, yada, and those ridiculous Edmonton Oilers.

And then the Kings came back and won the game 6-5. They won the series, which was just all very amazing. So I just want to take you back 43 years if I can, Jim. What do you remember about that game? What tugs at the heartstrings when you think about it?
