"But I needed to change. I needed a change from Montreal, Montreal is an incredible, incredible place to play. But it's probably a place that you might want to just play 5 years and then have to move on because it's demanding. I mean, the city is infatuated with this team. The love for this team is incredible. But I mean, it wears you down. I mean, you go out, you can't go to dinner, you can't go to a movie with your wife or girlfriend. You will get bombarded there. But the city is incredible. There's a lot of great moments, a lot of great moments. One of the best, one of the really cool moment, I'll never forget this too, and my parents came down to watch a few games and I took them out to this. Did you guys ever go to gibby's? Oh, I've never been there. Gabi's is, it's a really, really great steakhouse there. Love to take my parents there. They really enjoy that one and I remember sitting there, we're at a table of four, my parents and my wife and I and I saw this huge table that had about 8 or ten people at it and there was this young boy that just kept on looking over looking over and I'm thinking to myself, yes, you know, yes it is. It is Craig reveal of the Montreal Canadiens. And he finally, this boy came over to me and he says, are you Craig rive? And I said yes, yes, I am. He goes, today's my birthday. And I read, I read a magazine where I had done some interview and they said, you know, where's your favorite restaurant? And I basically just said, I said gibby's, right? And this boy came up and he says, I read that article, and I asked my mom and dad for my birthday, can I go to gibby's so I can get my an autograph signed by Craig? And here's the thing. I don't eat there, you know, very often. I eat there a couple times a year, right? But it just so happened that on this night, this boy showed up at the same time I was there because he wanted his birthday gift was to go to gibby's so he could get, he just automatically thinks that I lived there. But I just remember the family's face, the little boy's face, the passion and the love for the team and the players were just something that you can't even imagine. So a lot of great times. And on top of that, playing with so many legends. I mean, all these guys that you play. They're everywhere. So they're everywhere. Yeah, in any one or two that you were maybe like was an overwhelming experience. Yeah. I mean, for me, first and foremost, there was a lot. I mean, you had, you know, Henri Richard, the pocket rocket, the see him regularly, to see guy Lafleur regularly. But to me, one that stuck out to me from the time I got there was Jean Bellevue. I mean, there was something about his, I don't even know how to say it. He was so I heard it's the presence. I heard that. He was around. You only meet, yeah, you only meet a couple of people like that. In your entire life, where there's just an aura about them that you are completely in awe of when you meet them. And I'll tell you this, the nicest nicest man ever, so respectful. And I'll never forget. But I mean, there's so many surge savard. I mean, it just goes on and on. The road runner, Ivan Cornwall. That franchise, I mean, they do a great job continuing to keep the greats, you know, they're everywhere. It's an awesome to see. It's pretty crazy looking back now. I'm sure you've seen how much Montreal gained in the trade from you to San Jose, right? One of my buddies sent me this, the trade trade. Two months. Yeah, this Craig reveal trade tree or something like that. One of my buddy, I'm like, can we please just stop this? I know. I know. Hey, you could have got dealt for Chris Coons. How'd that go for me? You want to talk about trade trees? Jesus, like, I mean, I'm a happy listen. I look at this that I tried to give, you know, everything that I could give to Montreal and then when I got traded to San Jose, shit, they just paid way too much for me, man. I mean, that's what it's all about. I mean, they gave a first round draft pick and Josh Georges, who was a super young 21 year old player at the time who went on to have an awesome awesome career. And then that first overall pick or that first pick with patch ready and then just this debacle of movement and trades that still going apparently, which is turned into Suzuki, a second rounder. The names just keep adding on here. This is wild. Jake Allen's attached to it. Andrew Shaw from the Chicago Blackhawks. Alex de brink and his wife, I don't know if you've already mentioned him, but holy shit, this is all. This is Alex. No, I don't know the way that the tree and general of how it all went down. I'm not saying that they benefited from it, but it's just a wild trade tree. Well, I'm happy, I'm happy that they could, you know, like I was aging at the time and I needed a change I had been in Montreal for a really long time and I really welcomed that, but I'm pleased that I could help Montreal out on the back end when I left. You know, I think that was great. I'd love to ask about the final pro season and you played over 900 NHL games and finished in buffalo and then Columbus and the next year decided to play a full season. It looks like in the east coast league for Elmira. How did all that come about? Like, didn't want to do the AHL? What's the story behind that? Oh shit. So much is going to be let out today. It's ridiculous. I thought you were going to say insurance. Yeah. Well, it's somewhat kind of like that, but so when I retired, you know, I'm Canadian, right? So when I was, we had our P one visas when we, when we were, well, I had one anyway as a Canadian playing in the states and living in the states. And I was, you know, doing a green card, trying to get my green card. And I was very, very close to getting it, but anyway, I ended up tiring at the end of the year. I knew I knew I was done. My body could not handle mentally or physically. I just couldn't, I couldn't do it. So I had a great 6 months. I mean, I enjoyed my summer, a golf and boats and beer and you name it. I enjoyed that retirement summer and I ended up getting a phone call by my lawyer about my green card. And this was September 29th. She says to me, and she knows nothing about hockey, like nothing. She says, you need to play another season. And I was like, this is 6 months of just crushing my body. And I said, no, that's not going to happen. She goes, no, you need to, or we have to stop your green card, and it's going to take three to 5 years to do it all over again. So I said, what? So she's like, you just need to play one more season. I'm like, well, I can't play one.
