I never rule anything in or out; life can surprise you.
I view myself as a dealmaker.
If you're a sports fan, it is really cool when you see the best-on-best for hockey at the Olympics.
I know when you're in the business of cover sports, you look for 60-minute games and a result. It's never that simple.
When you look at the team that Jimmy Rutherford has put together and the players that he has, this is just a great story of excellent in professional sports.
The fact is, I view part of what I do is, if necessary, on difficult issues, be the lightning rod.
If you're thin-skinned, you don't belong doing what I do for a living.
There are always going to be critics... and I have always had a rule: no matter how good the commentary is, or how bad the commentary is, it's more important that you do what you think is right.
In '94, we made the deal during collective bargaining that wasn't the right deal, just to save the season. Allowing the 'in the crease' rule, the foot-in-the-crease rule, we should have not done.
We're not anti-Olympics, we're anti-disruption to the season.
