Cheers to that.

tastes good.

That's that sweet taste of victory on a Tuesday morning.

Um, no, you're, you're, you're spot on there.

That's a game that one, I didn't expect them to come out and look as good as they did.

I figured if they're going to win or even salvage a point, it was going to be gritty scrappy, you know, up in Toronto.

I know there's been jokes made and I'm

frankly I've probably cracked a few of myself of like it's a lot of corporate seats and you know it's not maybe the same Toronto Maple Leafs like Scotiabank Arena that it's been in past years where at times last night it sounded like a library in that joint in the wild did everything in their power to make it happen so

Great play.

The passing from that, frankly, the passing from that first line was on display last night.

Like Ryan Hartman slotting back into that top line as much as I think we kind of default to rag on him at times because we've we've acknowledged he's a roller coaster of a player right now.

We're getting the up climb and maybe up to the peak.

As long as we can stay here for a little bit till we get some reinforcements back, this is going to be just fine to watch.

They looked really good last night.

Your point on Kirill was one of the things I was hoping to bring up today as well, which is that is the first like legitimate takeover game at times that I saw from him over the past handful of weeks.

Um, it was, it was, you saw him doing his normal, like power skating, carving through the neutral zone and transition.

You saw him, um, creating these like point blank, uh, scoring opportunities almost out of thin air based on his passing ability, which I mean, he's, he, he still normally does, but this was like the instantaneous.

Okay.

I'm going to quick check over my shoulder.

I go to the corner and I spin turn and I just hit a guy right on his tape.
