00:00Connor McDavid is better than Jason Tatum is by my levels. Jason Tatum is really good,
00:09but Connor McDavid is one of the greatest ever type of deal. But nevertheless, you look
00:14at the bar that has been set in Boston, you need to win. And then you're you're you're
00:18in the club. Once you win, you're in the club, you'll never be like the real greats. But
00:24very similar Scott, Mark Massey, man, he won, he won what a wing Gretzky left, they thought
00:29the sky was gonna fall in Edmonton, they won the cup again, without Wayne Gretzky, Mark
00:34Massey. Gretzky is the man, right? Gretzky is, you know, the best player ever to play
00:39in the National Hockey League. Connor McDavid is on the same team. Connor McDavid has done
00:45it all like stat wise. He's only 27 years old. He smashed it. He's better than Wayne
00:50Gretzky is. Gretzky had a better career. But let's be real if they played one on one
00:55and like it's you know, I mean, Wayne Gretzky weighed like 175 pounds, guys. You know, I
01:00mean, like it's a different was a different no one. Yeah, like Connor McDavid is just
01:05like next level, like hockey's better now than it was then. And even the guys that played
01:09that will tell you that. Unlike the NBA where they battle the old guys. I used to be buddies
01:14of Mike bossy may rest in peace. He was on the Great Islander teams. One of the greatest
01:19players ever to play the game Mike bossy. And I was in Montreal. He's from Montreal
01:23used to be on the on the local station. I was on all the time. And we were talking about
01:27modern versus old. And the Florida Panthers, ironically enough, were the worst team at
01:31the time. It's like 15 years ago or so seven, 20 years ago, whatever. And bossy told me
01:37he goes, Gabe, the he goes, the Florida Panthers would kick the crap out of us the Islander
01:41team. And I was the one No, no, no, no way. No way they beat you guys. No way. He goes,
01:47they would smash on my face. Like, he was like, he goes, they're bigger and faster
01:52and stronger. He goes, it's just true. It was hockeys. They're better players now. But
01:56my whole point is, David needs to get his name on the cup. And then he like Wayne Gretzky
02:01and Mark Messiaen. And so like dry side will be the Eric Curry, so to speak. Carter McDavid
02:08does this. It cements him as an all time legend in a national hockey league leading the team
02:15back from all three. And then he can go tack on a gold medal in the Olympics in a year
02:19and a half and really complete his career.
