And listen, you guys know better than me.

The noise around is the core good enough for Montreal, it didn't get to Toronto levels by the end of that postseason, but it was starting to percolate a little bit, and Ken Hughes was pushing back on that like a good GM should because he's seen how this stuff can run amok and narratives can get out of control, and all of a sudden you get what's happening where everyone in Toronto got paralyzed with fear by the end of every playoff series.

It can be a problem, so you want to try and nip that in the bud.

But don't tell me he didn't enjoy another shot at the Leafs.

Look, we now have four different either pieces of evidence through sound or reporting from reputable people.

Kent Hughes hates the Leafs.

This is now not a secret.

This is not some quiet thing under the rug.

Everybody hates the Leafs but you.

Everybody hates the Leafs.

He really hates the Leafs.

Jeff Gordon's cool as a cucumber up there that day.

He doesn't care about much.

Ken Hughes is the pit bull.

He doesn't like natural living.

He wanted Matthew Nyes.

Hey, where would you put Matthew Nyes in this postseason if that trade went through at 2.59 p.m.

Eastern?

Who would Nyes have played with in the postseason?

Seriously, what would you have done with him?
