Ran into a little bit of trouble though back in June, uh, because he said something you're not allowed to say if you're Canadian anymore. He said that uh the United States is the best country in the world. Which uh obviously led to some backlash. And you know, today everybody's got an opinion and nobody seems to be able to maybe listen to other people's opinions as to why they might think certain things. Here's the beauty of this show.

And uh, you know, I I I realize there's people out there that don't think they should ever be criticized for anything. Uh but we are, if there is a hockey connection, you know, like the Prime Minister skating on Rogers Place Ice, or the leader of a federal party, uh, you know, participating in a celebrity hockey game, we're gonna find
