00:03 - You knew I had to start with him.

00:05 Connor McDavid, have we found a little bit of juice,

00:08 a little bit of gas as we get ready

00:10 for the Western Finals against the Dallas Stars?

00:13 - Yeah, I mean, it doesn't feel all that different

00:15 around the guys.

00:17 - Just a Thursday.

00:18 - Just in the room and whatnot, you know.

00:20 How's it gonna get harder?

00:22 Well, you're playing a team that has won two series

00:26 against two really good teams and is playing really well.

00:29 We're playing well, they're playing well.

00:31 They're a great team and we're looking forward

00:34 to the challenge of going up against a team like Dallas.

00:39 - Listen, I believe that, you know,

00:43 we've said this many times and talked about it,

00:45 he has to win a Stanley Cup.

00:47 I will not say he's the best player in the world

00:51 until he wins a Stanley Cup.

00:53 You know, all I have to do is go down the litany

00:56 of players from my, on my side,

00:59 Lemieux, Jagger, Crosby, okay?

01:05 Barrasso, I could go down, give me your islanders.

01:09 Trottier, Bossy, Billy Smith.

01:12 - No doubt, tomorrow, awesome.

01:15 - Honestly, Gretzky, Teequinen, Curry.

01:18 It goes on and on and on.

01:20 We could do this all day.

01:21 We could do this all day.

01:22 Messier, even with the Rangers when they won it.

01:25 Until this guy wins the Stanley Cup,

01:30 I don't wanna hear it.

01:31 He's not the best at anything.

01:33 He's not the best at anything to me in the NHL at all.

01:37 He's the most boring guy in the league.

01:39 And until he wins a Stanley Cup,

01:41 I will not stop saying that.

01:44 He has to win it.

01:45 And this is as close as he's ever gotten.

01:47 - He is the, as we like to say now here on Coast to Coast,

01:51 he is the most physically talented player in the league.

01:55 - Whatever that means.

01:56 - And the most boring player in the league.

01:58 He's boring and physically, most physically talented.

02:01 - 'Cause he is.

02:01 - Whatever.

02:02 - His skills are talented.

02:03 But like you said, you need to win

02:05 in order to be put in that next level.

02:07 - Oh, that's getting wild.

02:08 - That next pantheon.

02:09 - Everyone that's great wins it.

02:10 If you're great, you win it.

02:12 If you're not, you're not great.

02:14 That's it.

02:15 You're just a guy that skates fast.

02:17 That's what he is.

02:18 - All right.
