Great question. I don't think so because of the trend of how hockey is growing in America. Like you look at the percentage of guys that are American born from 10 years ago and it's at least like 10 or 15 percent higher. So I feel like the game has been exploding in the U.S. So I think it's just going to get better.

But I think this was kind of like a measuring stick of, OK, we thought we were absolutely there and we're not quite yet.

Yeah. And it's a shame because, I mean, at TD Garden, there were Johnny Hockey fans.

chants and tributes and you know what like the team itself was talking about him and thinking about him every day but in such a politically charged environment it really is like they lost focus about a lot of things and that's the most important one sir one of the least surprising things that happened last night was sydney or was connor david now you better not say sydney crosby please don't say that name he did was connor david the new sydney crosby the new daddy of canadian uh

I think there were a lot of fans that aren't from Boston that ended up going to the game, first of all. I think people are idiots in general. People were very much idiots about this game. And Brad Marchand is somebody who is okay with being booed. You know what I mean? Like, he has been booed in every single atmosphere he's been in. So I think Bruins fans do know that.

But the McDavid point, I don't know. I was thinking about this. Like, I know there were tons of new USA hockey fans watching this game. And I... I was thinking, oh, my God, maybe they're disappointed that USA couldn't pull it off. But they got to see the absolute best hockey player in the world do what he has not been able to do thus far on the biggest stage.

So that's just the best hockey you're going to get. So USA hockey fans that just started watching during this tournament, you got to see something great.

We were talking to McKinnon after the game, and he's like, yeah, I mean, you can't leave Connor wide open. He just said that. Like, he's not even trying to flex. He's just like, he was wide open. What's he going to do? Score. And it was a tough tournament and kind of a tough season for Matthews right now. He's fighting something. I don't know what. They tried to fix it in Germany.

I don't know if they did. I don't know if he's sick. He seemed sick when we were talking to him. Like, everybody here is sick. I sound sick. I'm a little sick, clearly. But... I think something's going on with Matthews, and you just can't leave Connor McDavid that open.

I don't believe that at all. I think his agent is really good at negotiating in the public, too. And I think it depends. I know Tom Dundon and the Carolina Hurricanes are very much negotiators themselves in the way a lot of NHL agents are. So it's going to be hardball for a minute here. And I think we're in such a no man's land when it comes to the salary cap rising and renting in
