You know what it was, actually?

It was another missed shot going well wide that he directed to the net.

Yeah.

it's been weird because i've i've been kind of noticing because we've had some some listeners who've actually pointed this out too um who've said like hey i need 97 start doing 97 things and i i get those messages mid-game and then it seems like five minutes later oh he scores from really low angle and it's like okay well that's there you go he served up on a platter for you but but yeah it's um there's times during the games where he gets the puck on a rush and even if it's an even strength rush like three you know a three on three instead of like an odd man

I'm like, okay, you should probably work some Kirill magic here and do something.

And then he just doesn't.

And granted, he shouldn't.

I think he's a fantastic player, but even the best players in the world can't just turn it on easy rookie mode like it's NHL and just walk through and score every single time.

But we're seeing less of those major chances.

And last night was, I think, more of a frustrating thing for the entire team because they did like 95% of the work.

And then this is where it goes back to that extra pass.

They keep trying to make that extra pass, and crazy enough, that one goes off a stick.

That one gets intercepted.

That one gets deflected.

Or the shot whiffs, because it's a chip pass.

I think if they simplified the game, one, everybody would look a little bit better.

But two, when it comes to Kirill Kaprizov, you're going to...

expect him to still make those flashy plays.

And I think I, I I'm waiting for a little more of that.

And he's probably a guy that will benefit from not having to go to the Olympics as much as anybody.
