So thanks for having me.
Makes the weekend go smooth.
Just shameless Zach Phillips.
You want your agency or your team showcased on the sheet?
Send me a hat.
I got you.
I want to say shocked, and part of me is surprised, just based on who it is and the name.
But at the same time, not really, because Bob Stauffer laid out the blueprint for it effectively.
I'd say right around the time when the Bruce Cassidy news hit the internet that they had requested permission to speak to him.
They wanted more of a hard-nosed guy, a veteran guy, and...
Key point, guy would want a Stanley Cup.
And you start looking down the list of guys who are available and, you know, you start running out of people quickly.
And then all of a sudden you sit there and you go, whoa, wait a minute.
What about this guy who hasn't been in the NHL for a while?
And it's like, okay, fits all the criteria.
no they they heard me uh waxing poetic about gavin mckenna and yesterday's segment in the fan duel and they're like we keep this guy far far away from our organization our players young guys everything beckham edwards and jackson cover and get back on uh get back on their on their side pearson buoy um anything from today's show uh jumping out at you i mean there's a lot of babcock a lot of larkin and some stanley cup final game four talk
Okay, one thing I've been thinking about with this Babcock thing is the NHLPA side of things.
Because...
I imagine this whole thing works out somewhat how it works out when somebody goes and appeals a suspension or has a hearing for a suspension where the NHLPA represents player who was hurt.
And the NHLPA also represents player or, or had the action done against them.
