00:00How bad has this gotten between player and team?

00:03Um, well, I think...

00:05I think, yeah, I don't think it's been good.

00:08I would say that we saw yesterday

00:11that it hasn't been good for a little bit of time now.

00:15Is that fair to say? Like, seeing what happened yesterday,

00:18um, I'm assuming that just, you know,

00:21the pot had been boiling for a few weeks

00:24and it kind of went over the top yesterday,

00:27but that's just...

00:28Um, so I think we saw yesterday

00:30that it hasn't been good for a little while now.

00:32That just didn't happen yesterday.

00:34And not every day do you see a team president or a GM

00:38in ongoing negotiations

00:40tell the public exactly what has been offered.

00:43Like, I fell out of my chair

00:44when Cam Neely said the 64 million line.

00:47So what was your reaction when you heard him say that?

00:50Well, yeah, the better part,

00:53the better one was when he was asked if he was surprised

00:56and the Don was asked if he was surprised

00:58and then Cam came over the top saying I was.

01:00I was like, oh, here we go.

01:01This, you know, that alone was enough.

01:05You didn't have to do any more than that.

01:07And again, I think it goes to the...

01:12Maybe frustration's probably the word

01:14that there was nowhere to go in this

01:16and that both sides were in the spots that they thought

01:20and not being able to get this done

01:23and starting to see the season just a week away

01:25and not having a goalie

01:26that you thought was going to be your starter.

01:29I think all of that just leads to frustration.

01:32We saw that, you know,

01:33that from both sides by the end of the day yesterday.
