00:00I don't know. Owen, you did bring this up the other day, and we didn't really flesh it out too
00:04much, the idea that, and I don't know, I don't want to feed into this, but just frankly, having the
00:11discussion, you know, you're in a spot where you're like, I think that he's under the microscope.
00:17I'll say it that way. The way you said it was, I think it's kind of done for him here,
00:22that people are too laser-focused on everything that he does to give him a fair shot anymore, just because
00:29of, probably because of the no-trade thing.
00:32I think, yeah, I think it's a combination of that, plus I think the bouncer in the playoffs last year
00:39will forever stick in a lot of people's minds. I don't think that's fair, but I think it's going to
00:43happen.
00:44And I think that the ride we've been on with him throughout his career already, just in general, sort of
00:51all add up to, I think, a guy that's going to have a really hard time having anybody believe in
00:57him in this town.
00:58I think it's really, I think it's tough, because I don't think he necessarily deserves that, but that's what I
01:05think is going to happen here.
01:06I think it's done. I think he's cooked here, because people don't like him.
01:12Well, it's not that they don't like him.
01:14Well, I think they don't like the idea of him being the goalie.
01:17It's a trust thing for me.
01:19Right. He's great. He's a very good dude. From everything I've heard about him, I've had a couple conversations with
01:26him, he's great.
01:27But people don't like seeing him in the net for the Sabres anymore. I think they're sick of it.
01:32They don't trust it.
01:33Yeah. And that's, again, I don't think it's totally fair, but it certainly feels that way to me.
01:39I mean, the other night, Ellis gets introduced, and it's a crowd pop.
01:44Like, it's like, okay, it's somebody else.
01:47And that was striking to me, that that was how that went.
01:51And I think we all, you know, we've talked about the lose mixed with booze at the home opener when
01:57he was introduced.
01:58And, like, that, to me, says a lot.
02:01And that's, I think he's in a really hard position right now.
02:05Yeah.
