Colorado, they have the pedigree in the playoffs.

This team, they don't really have that deep run adversity.

They don't really know how to handle it.

So if you do make it out of the first round and you're up against the Colorado Avalanche and you go down,

all of a sudden you're facing elimination.

It's the, it's a three, two series.

You have to win a game.

What's the thing that they're going to be able to potentially lean back on and then like, and call back to, Hey, remember back in early January where we lost all of these guys and we had guys step up.

Well, now we got to step up again.

This is like, and now we're healthy.

We can even be better.

So this, this has the potential to be a catalyst for the rest of the season.

If it's handled properly, I just am nervous that they won't handle it properly.

And then all this house of cards stuff starts falling down and we just really don't know where to go.

You nailed it.

This should not be a controversial thing to say that your superstar who's set next year to make $17 million needs to step up

and be the leader for this team here moving forward.

Especially during, even just this little stint.

We've seen him do it so far in his career without, like, that center.

So, like, well, he's shown he can step up and be a game changer.
