Craig and Chris were just talking about you talking about
how now you see some of your players have have
kids and how the sort of the push of hockey
in Florida continues. Is that something that makes you
proud? It's one of the favorite things because I'm
closing in on grandfather age, I hope. I
don't put any pressure on my daughter. I'm just
saying I'm available. Well, the players bring their
kids to the rink, right? So there's generational
. Kaspary Cain his dad played for me, but
these guys now and they're going to be pretty well
thought of in Florida for a while, so they'll
start to make their homes here and these kids will
grow up playing hockey, and that's how our grassroots
program grows. I want to ask you, we
have to talk about a player and their role.
What did you think of you and your coaching staff's
role in getting the club prepared for Edmonton again and
then eventually coming to this point of success. Well
, You know, there's about 5% of the game
that we're responsible for. I think we did our
job after that. They've got a good team,
and those two guys, I think maybe people up
in Edmonton get used to it, but we don't
, we're not used to seeing those two, they
are elite players. So we have to do it
by committee. We were playing at some 0.3 lines
against them tonight and just trying to skate as fast
as we possibly could. They are at bench level
. I've never seen anybody move that fast. Uh
, what would you like to say to your 87
year old father and 85-year-old mom who've been, uh
, kept busy, uh, at least every second
night watching you and your team? Well, probably
that I'm not getting fired this summer, so that's
a nice change, right? And then. They
get to sit and watch hockey. Mom and dad
back home. I hope you had a wonderful time
. Shane and Mike and Sue Saint Marie, all
our family in Windsor, Ontario, Kitchener, Ontario
, Texas, all over, uh, North America
, all the fine people up in Winnipeg, the
family and friends that we have there. I hope
you enjoyed your evening. Paul, thank you and
congratulations. Thanks.
