Edmonton-owned and operated almost now for 60-plus years. And you can add 8 or 16 pieces of their new mango habanero wings to your order today. Only a limited time.

Yeah. Oh, man, oh, man. You know what? I think John Shannon, actually, I'm pretty sure John Shannon one time joined... Myself and Cam Mood and our special haunt, Pub 1905 in the Wine Room in downtown Edmonton. And may have had a 7-up or two that night as we discussed all things. I also remember the day before Todd McClellan was fired and you and me were hanging out, John. I think we were at Roost Chris that night. John Shannon's appearances are brought to you by Legacy Heating and Cooling. Home of no payments and no interest for a year. That's how you build a legacy. Legacy Heating and Cooling. Hello, John. How are you? I'm great, Bob. How are you? Good. What do you think of all of this with the Vegas Golden Knights?
Actually, you know what? We're going to replay the clip again one more time here. This is Kelly McCrimmon after he met with the commissioner in the morning doing his media availability last night as the head coach and GMs do before the start of the conference finals. Here is Kelly McCrimmon providing us with an update on the status of Bruce Cassidy.
Secondly, regarding Bruce Cassidy, teams have asked for permission to speak with Bruce. We've been consistent that our focus currently is on the Stanley Cup playoffs and the teams have respected that. I've spoken with Bruce. He understands this as well. There you go. What's your take on all this?
Gamesmanship? No. Even though he has been dismissed as the coach of the hockey club, he is still under contract for another 13 months with Vegas. They're paying him a hefty bit of coin to stay at home and not be involved with the hockey club. So they still do control him in so many ways. And when he signed his contract, that was what was supposed to happen. Do I think it's wrong? I think it's wrong. He should be able to go and... interview and negotiate a new deal and and then work out the compensation you know in so fact that if it's more or less of what the golden knights pay but the golden knights don't want to be distracted with those discussions right now they want to be involved in the stanley cup playoffs and at a certain point even though i don't agree with it you'd have to respect what they're doing particularly if they've explained it to bruce all right so what do you think is going to happen when vegas's season ends
I think that they will grant every team that requests talking to Bruce Cassidy. And then whether it's Los Angeles or Edmonton or Toronto or whomever, because I think there will be more teams, believe it or not, by the time the regular the the playoff season ends. Then at that point, we will be able to sit down and discuss the compensation and how much do the Golden Knights still pay and how much does Bruce's new team pay?
John Shannon for our friends Bobby and Steve over at Legacy Heating and Cooling. Do you believe Bruce Cassidy is a top-tier coach in the National Hockey League?
Yeah, I do. Absolutely. I think when you get teams to the Stanley Cup Final, when you win the Stanley Cup, you have that ability to make players in front of you better. I think he's an excellent communicator. I think he's tough. And I think that just like everything else, though, I mean, coaches have shelf lives. He had a shelf life with the Boston Bruins. He had a shelf life in Vegas. And, you know, Kelly did exactly what he thought was best for the organization late in the season.
