Zero mentions of anything related to related actually winning, putting together an organization that is focused on a championship or anything related to what your typical fan wants.
This interview belongs in Fortune Magazine and not the Hockey News. Other owners in sports at least mention and discuss a desire for the ultimate prize.
Like in the movie The Rock and Sean Connery: Losers whine, winners go home with the prom queen.

What in the...? Did you read the questions? Heck, did you even read the responses?
What about
: "Being in the business now for 30-plus years, I’ve realized how competitive it is and how challenging it is to win in this business. To win, or even to put a competitive team on the ice, is very challenging. In 2004, we had one of the great experiences of my life. We went to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final…It was such a great experience, that 2004 run to the Cup. And so, those have been the highlights. Obviously, it’s a challenge some years when you’re not competitive."
Were you expecting details in a 4-question interview? Sheesh...
