And I thought that even if you have a pretty flat roster in the NHL,

if you have high-end talent on your special teams, and, of course, penalty kill is more about work and want to.

I felt like they could get there with good coaching.

But I felt they still had the talent to have a good power play, and I was just mystified why that power play wouldn't work anymore.

And so, you know, I've seen a lot of statistical analysis over the last couple of years where if this team just had a better-than-average power play, they would have possibly been a playoff team the last couple of years.

So that and the addition of Mews, I think he did a great job.

I think Dubas has done a great job.

And you have a few guys that are just really having their career year.

Good morning, gentlemen.

How are you?

Good.

Hey, so, and I was sort of jokingly with Limits saying I was the one guy who said they'd make the playoffs.

I never said they'd make the playoffs, but I did think they could make the playoffs.

And I remember talking to Bob.

on a Saturday morning show about this and a couple of things that stood out to me.

First of all, I just felt that the organization was so flat under Sully, who I really liked in his first couple of years, obviously, but I just felt like they had gotten so stale and so flat that a lot of the even top end players weren't really motivated anymore playing under him.

And the other big thing that stood out to me was special teams.
