Just a fan, and I, I've been, um, you know, I ...

Rob RayGUEST

Loving old movies, it ...

Rob RayGUEST

Going back to, uh, when I was a kid, and it was r- they, they'd run on the, uh, the afternoon movie and on the late show.

Rob RayGUEST

And, uh, got into v- v- video collecting from, from the start.
Rob Ray
Rob RayGUEST
1:41
Uh, not so much VHS.
Rob Ray
Rob RayGUEST
1:43
A few VHS, but they were in middle, uh, um, late '70s, early '80s, VHS were very overpriced because they were priced for rental.
3:18
So a lot of them, so ... [laughs] But that's a whole other story.

And, you know, they always ask a lot of questions.

What's it like, you know, when the fans are going crazy? I'm like, just wait, just wait, you'll see.

And, you know, they come off every night and they're over the top.

Rob RayGUEST
5:32

Rob RayGUEST
5:33
So it's great that they're able to experience a lot of the things that Marty and I had a chance
5:40
What does that feel like for those players?
Rob Ray
Rob RayGUEST
5:42
the greatest, this is the momentum part of it that you work all year for.
30:59
So, so Rayzor, is there a point in the season where you could call it, we always say it up here, the TSN turning point? Is there a, uh, you know, one thing you can point to that said, like, that helped turn the season around, or is it a combination of several things?
Rob RayGUEST
31:13
No, I, I, I think it, it was we were on a six-game trip.
Rob RayGUEST
31:17
We started off in Philly, and then went to Winnipeg and Calgary, and both-- all three of those games we lost, and it wasn't good.
Rob RayGUEST
31:24
There was a lot of things went on in the game that, uh, you know, a lot of distractions.
Rob RayGUEST
31:30
And I give the guys credit, because after that, the third game, they were like, "Hey, it, it's us.
Rob RayGUEST
31:35
We, we know we can play with the big guys.
Rob RayGUEST
31:38
We've, we've done it at times this year.

As a guy who was just the ultimate teammate who would de- you know, stick up and defend his guys, w- what did you make of that whole scenario?

77:27
... might have sparked it and where they kinda caught that momentum and positive thinking?
Rob RayGUEST
77:31
You know what it was? We were on a six-game trip, 14 days.
Rob RayGUEST
77:34
We started in Philly, we lost, but it was, it was a chaotic game.
Rob RayGUEST
77:38
A lot of stuff went on in that game, you know, uh, challenge calls, all that.
Rob RayGUEST
77:42
Then we go to, uh...
Rob RayGUEST
77:44
Where'd we go? Uh, Winnipeg.
Rob RayGUEST
77:46
Same thing.
79:45
So I really felt like the engine that was driving them was that back end.
