00:14that we saw from him in the last couple or at least last night. Um, yeah, yeah. I think

00:19they got the vote right, but it's a fair discussion to have. If you're going to have an outlier

00:24here, it is it's Connor McDavid. I wonder this Chris, because the, these markets, these

00:31finals MVP, you're just making assumptions. You're guessing off of history, how voters

00:36respond to certain things. And in the talking points, what people are saying about McDavid,

01:25votes going to be public. Their name's going to be attached to it forever. And they're

01:28not going to get crushed if they just vote for the big favorite.
