If Kyle and I were the stars of true detective, all crimes would go unsolved.

Especially because our old teammate Shirelli Nayjack, he would always say,

I'm not worried about the focal point on the screen I'm watching

around there that's where the good stuff is that's right he blew exactly what he

talked so we blew it we blew it we blew it we blew it we blew chucks. Welcome to 32 Thoughts, the podcast presented by GMC, Kyle Bocoskis, Elliot Friedman with you.

And Elliot, when I first started at SportsNet long before I was working Rincide on

NHL Telecasts. I can remember going to the rink, going to a morning skate, and

being so struck by walking into the dressing room as all the media came in to interview

players and seeing one Christine Simpson who I had

and the number of years, interact with the players and the coaches, how much respect that she had

and the appreciation that those players showed for her.

And I thought that was the ultimate tell and one of the

ultimate tells of where you wanted to be in this business and being respected at that

level and earlier this week, Elliot, Christine shared that her time at SportsNet

had come to an end. She had been part of the fabric of the network

since it first went on the air in 1998. She is someone that we are going to miss.

Yes, Kyle, very well said. So Christine lives in Toronto, but she goes back and forth to London, Ontario,

quite a bit to visit her family.

And that's about a two hour drive, give or take, depending on how slowly or quickly you drive.

And that was a place where she would always tell me that she would listen to the pod.

She used her drives to and from the city to catch up with the podcast and make sure she was up to date with it.

So I know she was a big listener sure she was up to date with it.
