My favorite was not in the dressing room, but actually in an airport, multiple airports back in the day when I played for the Washington Capitals, we flew everywhere like we were in airports all the time. No private jets, right? Like it's just going from airplane to airplane to get to Los. You know, Los Angeles to play a game. The next day we might stop and two or three airports to get there. So, what the guys used to do and There's a number of guys that did it. I'm not going to give away their names. Is they would, they would bring. Oh, and I didn't say Gordy Lane died. No, no, wouldn't be later. He wouldn't do. This is he would bring some fishing line right high-test fishing line. So maybe 30 pound test and he would poke a hole in a five dollar bill and anti the lined, the five dollar, you know, where this is going. Now place the five dollar bill out in the busy traffic. Of you know where people are going from there. They're playing and they're trying to get to the luggage and we would all stand right with our backs to the five dollar bills so you couldn't see Gordy lean down on his knees with the string and and people would come along, they'd say five bucks, and they reached down to pick it up and Gordie would tug it. Oh my goodness. That was the most funniest thing and some people would pursue Do the five dollar bill and he tug it again. He targeting in. Oh, my goodness! That was just one of the fun tricks ever. The greatest opposition to Coeur d'Alene and as five dollar bill was was a young. He must have been about a six or seven year old kid and when he saw the five bucks, he went for a but he didn't reach to get it. He stepped on it and broke the broke, the string and took the five dollars away, and we Thought that is brilliant. Good job, buddy.
