Good morning -- I'm okay I'm okay I was beautiful downtown Raleigh, North Carolina today. I haven't quite figured out where that camera be it but. There it is better at night.
May maybe there is no doubt now that's the answer to that question there is no downtown. -- Spirit. Peter I'd love to hear your take on what NHL came up with yesterday there's going to be no suspension. For the for the hurricanes. And there was a 2500 dollar fine what did you think of yesterday's proceedings.
Well. Had a chance to talk to or gamble would be. That you -- the o'clock yep keep order and -- just sanctions. In the morning that generally the course and he figured you both sides are children rendered -- actual hearing. And we never like we did we don't get their reasons behind. These they're ruling but what -- yet are what I get in the paste that are going -- speculate. What that meant it. I think part of -- and why they're rolling their their respective what it did. -- That. In this debate in my discussions with them if -- they're connect there was an expectation of a fight. So. That walker had they're right there. To the parts and so to speak because spirit Nikita the battle and it looked like there was going to be a fight the war in walker now. I don't agree with that I know that played the part of that decision. Frankly the need whenever -- investigators currently in the last by Thursday air automatic extensions. And I think you'd have to rely on their -- to make the column in the Gator. And and your reflected. On what to. They're real real evidence that -- not there's cited the gate and then you have the what the -- bad. So. That was a little. Troubling when. You know literate articulate Burt -- it. And edit what could that might not based on what the doctor aren't so I don't know why -- the suspect.
Peter I had I I would have a simple question for Colin Campbell and I don't know if you can even answer this but why did they find Scott Walker 2500 dollars.
Life you know they have been -- actually had tilt -- the we don't get the reasons. And the sometimes. Call it -- issue a statement the terms of volunteer and give reason for it he made and you make you got today. Of the it would it was applied that was somewhere between. Nothing short normal penalty and an investigator and typically got seven minutes. That was so I guess they were there where things that the sanction would more than the seventh minute. Select and they did at that point -- dollar --
Peter when it talks a big picture stuff with you right now. Carolina had two guys fighting for your playoff lives down three games to. In your opinion how did barricades put you in this position.
Well it would happen in the post it note. You institute. Four. Is that he got away -- He got away from our breakfast style and they're not really an aggressive team wilder that may have the quartet. Now we will basically played into their hands a little bit at least some are more drift. -- What better -- better that you checked. We got the -- out more cleanly the -- and we elected it and it's not that it'll all the good that the security group. -- the subject game out here who need and I think that would happen and we know what we were like -- bottom line or running battles more. And editors sixteen. Losing record community here we -- able to turn around. Or fairly it would be securities illegal that he would -- Trent.
Isn't as simple Peter is as you know the team that wants it more -- that is that seems to the simplest amount of us.
Well but it is I mean you -- I looked up well great and all that. -- you're talking you can keep it secret -- the battle of the law when he goes before actually goes up -- guys they're the same time. It it really is as simple of that and you have yet all of the things they're generally going to be equal. You know more or less now -- what not. And it is yet that they -- those who will win those battles that and that that lasted more. For whatever reason there's an article that it aptly the other day but we picked the wrong I'm gonna put an analyst Scott can. And unlike Billy we responded -- fired and can -- our target the oil.
get a sense of who Carolina it is. Are they what they're as Bill Parcells -- back the -- what your record says they are are they the sixth seed truly in the Eastern Conference are -- that team that had a great finish and yet. Or are they -- that is played the last two series against you -- Jersey.
At -- like the last thirty years they were one of the better it's not into that came. But they're they're really they're -- they're -- together half. They had the market in New Jersey. But it really quick they're really there or was -- all the ones liquid ingredients. -- But when -- within the -- wildly he usually looks faster. And they're they're just being here they're better than mr. -- there are routine to be reckoned with we're going into the question knew that based watched them play. What they can be beat and -- beat -- of street -- And completely -- another player doing what we're we -- prevent them. And that we have better -- and get our little last game our our best player work their players but that's so important playoff. If you person the most serious.
Some executives when they're watching games and they're watching teams they've put together play you don't want to be around them -- went. -- espionage. Watching the Red Sox and Red Sox are doing well he's he's a miserable human being. What's your -- emotionally when you -- game. Well. You ordered. As to what -- your -- poorly dudes -- people to clear out your way does want to be left to run.
Kind of -- the -- I don't. You know it. You don't want to react when. Electorate up. It up let's start with here before we used you know -- what you wanna. Yeah yeah emotional. And -- be elected yeah I try to be patient and by my emotions that you think that you know what you what you put together will come through. So frustrating thing I'm not certainly am not.

I expect the play he's there -- that meant that some type of incident at a hospital bone -- it may have been an old. An old fracture. Site that we had a who's there at conclusion. But he'll be able played --
And was there any after effects after the game and after the state comes off. Would Zdeno Chara and the slash.
And product like yeah -- what those last is that a big deal that -- on the meat of the ankle. And and he knows those can really hurt and but he you'll be -- use the word of ivory -- look at it infusion.
I know you guys think NA NA team wide stance than and that's important going to be a winning team but. Individually you look at any guys and say pressed to get the game seven. That guy or those two guys are going to have to play a lot better than they have previously in this theory.

That was in him that was vetoed. -- it I was -- And those guys saw terrific game so.

I can't wait because. And try to cover the rally that look -- their burden. They're they're pretty loud. Are -- allowed the other day and I would expect to be louder than hurt -- but here in Montreal.
And you're expected to be a problem for your team to maintain their discipline tonight given the emotions of game five.
I don't expect to be perfect but. You know we've been pretty good composer wiped. -- another you know the little. Job would approach the and he had the war walker incident is that we can -- your composure. What are the rest told load before the bottom of the third you know. It they've they've missed the call you know -- actually I find it they'll make mistakes but keep your composure so after they're -- That it did it and and he got illegally so that we -- just retreated so.
