0:08.6	the top of this avalanche core to Sack and Kuforsberg, even Hayduk, the old core of the
0:14.9	avalanche a lot. But we haven't done it. The Trinity Part 2. Yeah, basically. But we haven't
0:20.7	compared them beyond that, all that much to some of the other greats,
0:25.4	the Hall of Famers around the NHL.
