exec, now analyst with the DNVR Avalanche podcast.

Thanks for joining me, man.

I appreciate it.

You know, sorry for the outfit.

It's snowing.

It's Thanksgiving.

And I didn't even realize I had a winter hat until right now when I saw it on camera.

It's really chilly out today.

It's fitting that we're talking hockey on TDSP today.

Which of your career jobs has been your favorite, though?

I'm going to say now.

I'm not being sad.

Yeah, that's the right answer.

No, but I'm just being honest.

It's fun because when you're covering a team and you know how it is, but then I but I, you know, but I'm, I'm just being honest. Like, it's fun because you're, when you're covering a team and you know how it is with the nuggets and all that stuff, you know, like it's, it's fun and you feel part of it. I was saying that on the end, uh, at the end of a game, maybe last week and AJ was all like mad and I think the abs at a tough night. Oh, it was that game. They gave up two goals and last minute and then AJ was like, yeah, just the other night. It was like, yeah, it was like last week. It was funny because cameras were turned off that we started talking and it's like you live for that stuff. You know what I mean? Whether you're a player, your front office guy or or you cover the team on the beat like this, like you live with the wins, you live with the losses, and it's a drug. It's my drug. I mean, that's just for me, it's the rush. And when it's not part of your life, you're missing. And I certainly do. And I've been part of parts of my life where, you know, I haven't been involved with a team or even in a market, for example, in Vegas, we were there for a few years. There was no team. And you just don't have that, you know, that rush. And it's a void when it's not there or when there's a lockout or something like that. You know what I mean's just something that's missing and for me it's it's a big part of life i love it uh i love it everything

that i've done but they're all different you know as a player it's probably the easiest way to

cope with it because you can do something about it right and then or if you're covering the

there's not what you can do about it. And as in management, well, then at least you feel sometimes that you can pull some strings and, you know, to make something happen. So all three are different or all three are fun. And I guess I couldn't live without it. Yeah. Well, like you mentioned, you've been involved in hockey for most of your life. I want to go back to kind of the beginning, though. Yeah. Well, like you mentioned, you've been involved in hockey for most of your life.

I want to go back to kind of the beginning, though.
