Let's have it.

I think the top two are pretty much locked in.

Yager was a really nice guy who never personally victimized me in any way.

I can say that.

I can say that.

Can you?

No, I brought that up to say that I'm always amazed at your graciousness and how magnanimous you are and the way you talk about that man because he really made stuff hard for you for a while.

Yeah, he did.

You're a bigger man than I am.

Joe Starkey, the scrum killer.

That's what they were back then.

Yeah, I think the longevity is the tiebreaker there.

I mean, you're talking 20 years versus...

you know, nine or whatever it was with, with Yager, you know, I, that counts for something that's, that's not nothing.

When you're talking about players as accomplished as, as both of them are just across the board, a, in terms of just like, you know, compiling stats and winning awards, that's, that's part of it.

But there's also for both of them, they, they have an X factor, right?

Like they're, they're showstoppers in a very real way.

So I think whenever you're talking about guys that bring that much to the table, you know, I think something,

something like doing it for twice as long, which, you know, obviously the case with Malkin, I think that, I think that matters.

I'm not going to sit here and argue, like, Jeremy Auger was my favorite hockey player when I was 11 years old, right?
