Bruce Cassidy, he is the coach of your playoff bound to Boston Bruins. Mr. Cassidy, hello. Hi, good morning, gentlemen. How are you? We are well. What do you think about this playoff format? It seems like it sucks. Listen, once you're in, you've got to go through good teams. I think there's really no bad ones. A couple of a little better, stronger than the others. So I don't know. It is what it is, right? I think it comes around, goes around a few years. You know, we might be in a position where we get a kind of a softer draw. So I'm just looking forward to play in Toronto. See what happens after that. What do you think of Babcock?

Listen, Mike has lots of opinions, but he's well respected.

Got a good resume.

He's won a lot of hockey games.

Not as many recently, and we hope we keep it that way.

Okay, because I don't want you to say anything that, well, you're usually pretty, you're pretty on the level.

But that team, like, what's the shelf life of someone like Babcock?

Like, because it seems like right now in Toronto, there's a little bit of infighting.

Well, I think it's obviously a heavy, heavy hockey media market.

So, you know, you're constantly probably putting out fires if you don't say the exact right thing. Like I said, I think Mike is a smart guy. He has good opinions. So sometimes they're going to, you know, take something around with it. I think he's got to deal with that. In the locker room, I don't know, guys, to be honest, I don't know a lot of their players haven't coached. I don't think any of them over the years. So that's probably not, you know, my area of expertise that speak on their locker room. You hear things.

Whether there's smoke, there's fire sometimes, but at the end of the day, they're a good team.

You know, they've got a lot of good young players. Marlowe's a great older guy to learn from.

So, you know, I expect it to be another good series.

Now, very famously, Bill Belichick has apparently there's been stories of him providing his players with bulletin board material

when another team will do things like plan a celebration parade before a Super Bowl.

Do you ever do that?

Do you ever give the guys any kind of newspaper clippings or you inform them of things that

maybe other teams or coaches might have said in order to inspire them?
