Eric, there's a lot of noise out there. Just wanted to know what it was.

It's on Chef Merrick's fault, just so you know. I just wanted to ask like,

I told you're a fault.

What do you want? I mean, you're the guy who has control here. What's your preference?

I want to win. That's why I started playing this sport when I was a little kid.

I used to cry after every loss. I don't do that anymore.

That's what I want. When you're younger, you think you've got all the time in the world

and you don't realize how fast time goes. I hope that I get the chance to at least have a chance at it again.

Hopefully it's here.

A goal scorer fighter. I don't care. Anybody in hockey, they always say the same thing when things are good

later in your career. Still got it. And you do. Keep it on.

Thank you. Thank you. I've got lots of years left in me.

Absolutely. Now you're negotiating.

Alex is going to be all over you.

Okay. First of all, the business. Welcome to 32 thoughts.

The podcast brought to you by GMC and the new Sierra AT4X.

Secondly, thanks for throwing me under the bus with Eric Carlson.

Like right out of the gate, my pal just throwing in the white towel.

Oh, it was Merrick's fault. Eric, it was Merrick's fault.

So thanks for that on Hockey Night in Canada for each.

My only real disappointment was that he didn't back the truck over you after I drove it.

That's good. Right away. Just defer to me.
