Dom's asking me if I have beber fever. Yes, yes I do. Take two aspirin and call me in the morning

Lots to get into today on 32 thoughts the podcast presented as always by the GMC Sierra

Merrick Friedman domed traumatic as well all-star weekend has come and gone and I want to start with something

maybe a little bit frivolous but it was one of many geek out moments that I had over the weekend

Elliot and that was you and Ron McClain talking to Connor Bedard about his hockey stick in the conversation that he clearly had with Nathan McKinnon

when he started mentioning P92 patterns that was a geek-out moment for the weekend

for your buddy Jeffrey Jeffy here.

I would like to say, first of all, none of this surprises me.

You know, I, this is your brand.

I loved it, loved it. Well, I think to you you remember that one of the things that players really do like

talking about is the tools of their trade right there they're the craft of their trade like any other like any other profession

absolutely yeah absolutely yes and sometimes me in particular I forget that

but you know I the one thing I'd like to say is I thought it was great

that Bedard was there and they found a role for him because Connor Bedard is

going to be at all-star games for the next 15 years and he's going to be a face of the league.

If he isn't already, he's going to be a big face of the league.

And I thought it was a really important thing

that he was included and he was around doing

interviews and because he's going to be one of the he's going to be one of the

cornerstones of the NHL so I liked all that and you know what it's an easy easy icebreaker at the end though I thought it was it was interesting for him to say if it was up to him

He would be playing already he didn't give an exact date of his return.

Last week.
