I like Marco. You know, I like all of our players. But I also like them certain numbers, certain dollar numbers. And, you know, our coaches love Marco, and we play him in the top six all year round. You know, there was a time in the playoffs when he played with Trenin and Brazeau and suddenly, people didn’t think I like him or the coach didn’t like them, but it worked. He played a great show for them and scored goals.
