00:00It was Patrick Wané traded from the Columbus Blue Jackets to the Montreal Canadiens.
00:10And the Canadians really didn't give up very much, all things considering, but we are talking
00:15about a player at Lanny that, you know, the guy makes nearly $9 million a year.
00:20He's always hurt and he's had off ice issues before.
00:26So and I got to be honest with you, I don't really know if Montreal is the best place
00:31for you if you've had any sort of issues.
00:35And he hasn't had substance abuse issues, it was more mental health type of stuff, but
00:41Montreal is one of the most intense places to play.
00:45Like if you've had issues playing in Columbus, where, you know, let's be real, like the level
00:52of pressure is not the same for a Columbus Blue Jacket as it is for a Montreal Canadian.
00:57Like you're walking into a hotbed here, bro.
01:01This is like you suck for three games and, you know, they're chirping you in the parking
01:05lot and in the grocery store, right?
01:08Like they take this stuff home with them and they don't care who you are.
01:11But maybe there was a legendary moment when fans got in Carey Price's face in a preseason
01:16and he told him, chill, it's a preseason, man, right?
01:19They're like, you were terrible last night.
01:21Like they're nuts in Montreal.
01:22So I don't know, we'll see.
