Welcome to the DNVR show. I'm Eric. This is Megan. We got two fabulous guests today, two old friends. We were just talking about that. Old is the word. We got Joe. We got Peter. First and foremost, this is an honor to have you guys here. I'm going to speak on behalf of DNVR. These guys have come a long way. And, you know, from Brandon to A.J.

Rudeau, Megan, it is a huge thing to have you guys here. And I know you don't think of yourselves

as being huge. And I don't either, but as you guys being huge, but it is a huge honor.

It's a tremendous thing that you guys are here. And we can't thank you enough.

On a different note, on behalf of my family, you know, where this is personal for us because we've been friends for a long time.

And I just want to say thank you for doing this for us.

And as we know there, as we just saw the picture there, you guys are Hall of Famers.

And, you know, obviously my dad going in there this weekend is a huge thing for our family.

And I can't thank you enough to, you know, to be here.

And of course, I think I'm a Hall of Famer.

I should be a Hall of Famer, but I'm not.

The one year.

You're on pace.

Yeah, I was on pace one year until Jones got here, you know, until Jones he got here. But, no, it's good. And obviously, we're leaving tomorrow. You're leaving tomorrow. It's a great that you're coming all the way from Sweden to be here this weekend. And then, of course, we're going to see each other. And Toronto, Megan's going to be there. RG is going to be there. So this is exciting. And like I said, a big thank you from for my mom and my brother and I. So of course, we wish he was here. He's not here. So somebody's going to do the speaking. So we'll have Max do the speaking with my oldest. And then I'll do the press conference. So, but I'm going to feel like a Hall of Famer. Crow told me back then that, you know, you're just a plug. You're not a Hall of Famer. So I'm going to send him a picture of me with the Hall of Famer. So I'll be like, hey, see, you were wrong. You know what I mean? So, no, but it's great. said I said, we're excited. Then we can talk a little bit about the festivities this weekend. And, you know, I'll give Megan the floor here because ladies first. And Megan is, as people say on the podcast, she's the smartest of us here in the room. And I think we tend to agree. I don't know that I feel that same way,

but I'll kick it to Joe for the first question.

It's about Pierre Laquois.

I wanted to know what kind of influence he had in your interest

in pursuing management and how you approach it.

That should be honest, he's the reason I got into the game of hockey after after hockey and I'm probably like like

who's an example like we'd sit on the bus and when our careers are done we're gone and I'm
