Nothing yet from the Canadians whether they'll open the rink even earlier than 11 for the skills comp.

Yeah, that's right.

Multiple provinces have temporarily adjusted the liquor laws that they can start serving as early as...

5 a.m.

There's all kinds of watch parties across Canada.

Oh, yeah.

And bars will be open early.

Yeah.

Um, obviously Nick Suzuki, Yura Slavkovsky, Oliver Kapanen still in, uh, Milan.

Um, and they'll get their spots back, um, when they return, uh, from the Olympics.

Um, so there are, there are players who are filling holes, filling those three holes, especially, um, uh,

But I think it's important to see how the lines are set for practice on Saturday.

You have Doc Caulfield and Valeno on the top line.

uh, on Saturday.

So Valeno is obviously the placeholder there.

And maybe that means that Valeno is not, doesn't have a, uh, permanent position.

Um, he could be a scratch, uh, to once the season resumes.

Um, you have Demidov, um,

Newhook and Patrick Lina.

Maybe two of those players are placeholders with Slavkovski and Kapanen coming back to the second line.
