A lot of that stuff was prevalent last night, came back forward.

And I mean, that's part of why they, they look so good.

The defensive structure I thought looked pretty solid as well.

Obviously at times later in the game, they maybe broke down a bit, but at that point, when you put up five, you put up six, it's like, you can probably afford to make a few mistakes.

You had, you had gotten to a point where you suffocated the game enough to where

we're, we're going to overlook those and look just fine.

Um, and Phil Gustafson, I mean, as much as we have, I have kind of said the goaltending was regressing over the past handful of games, especially on that latter stages of that road trip.

He looked fine last night.

I, he looked at, he made a couple of really good stops that I think he probably should have got beaten on.

Um,

and for the most part, I mean, overall, they played kind of like the team that we had seen climbing up the standings who now sit two points above the Dallas stars in second, uh, in second in the central division.

So granted stars had that game in hand, but, uh, as of right now, if you look at it, they are number two in the, in the division.

Um, Quinn Hughes is a guy that continues to be a superstar.

Um, I I've loved his response mainly after the, what was it?

Two back-to-back games where he,

Not that they were bad, but for him, in his case, it's like, oof, I don't know if that's necessarily what you expect from the Quinn Hughes experience.

He has responded massively.

I thought the other day he looked like a legit superstar, like willing the wild to a win over the Buffalo Sabres last night.

Sort of the same, I think it was on Tarasenko's second goal.

The heads up, like jumping on a loose puck, taking, I think, two and a half, three strides, and then just firing a laser through the neutral zone to hit him in on the breakaway.
