Aaron Ward

So you asked the original question.

who he is in in those interviews when he shows a level of caring right and and and a level of investment as players is the same way he was as a captain now as a captain he was forced to be less vocal actually was sorry as a coach he's forced to be more vocal as a captain he was very kind of surgical and when and where he stepped in both vocally and with his presence and by his actions so roddy is who he presents himself to be

That's why when I saw the shirt come off and there was a celebration, like someone... It's like a fun thing, right?

You know how serious Roddy is.

I guarantee that every single player that played for him wanted that shirt to come off.

Almost as like a final like...

Not only do we just win, but check out our head coach because he is like, yeah, that's who guided us.

They do.

But they have to, A, they have to embrace the environment.

You got to want to be here.

And the cool part was like, so you see, listen to these interviews and when guys are most transparent is when they're tired and they let their guard down.

That's usually after they won.

And they're pretty like, like blatant about expressing how they feel.

And you look at Goss Disparer in one of his interviews yesterday saying like, I came back.

He knew what they had here and he had a desire to be here.

And the amazing part is if you, so we'll take the decor, for example.

Slavin played all-world last night, but Slavin was not con-Smith Slavin through the Stanley Cup playoffs, which is a testimony to the fact that, as I look at that group, Gostisbert and Walker were the two best defensemen through the Montreal series.

I mean, the idea that Gostisbert...

And actually, it was Walker who ran over Dobish, and he's in the offensive zone.

That specific game, he was in the zone rushing the puck up four separate times.
