All right, so we're getting ready now for this cup final.

Here we go, Vegas and Carolina.

I'm sure Gary Bettman's dream final here.

that Carolina road Jersey is one of the ugliest jerseys in the league.

It is brutal.

Like watching it against the Habs home reds.

That was tough to watch.

Well, there was also a cost to the Evander Kane move, right?

Like you gave up a fourth rounder.

This would, if he's bought out at three, if you get something in a trade, there isn't a great move in general.

And, but to all the points that you just mentioned, including like the Vancouver Giants too, it's how often have people said, Hey, we want to see a Vancouver Giant drafted.

Now there just happens to be Ryan Lynn and Mathis Preston this year, but even that connection of like people get exciting moments.

Now, this is a different stage, obviously, in his career, but that element has not even really been established very often in the city.

Just that all-gas, no-breaks type player as well.

And then on top of it, all the things you just mentioned.

How do you extract everything out of your opportunity to have a career?

And it's why I've kind of like likened it to or I've enjoyed watching like Linus Carlsen, who's not at the same scale of of Brandon Gallagher, because it's different entry points as well.

Later on in his career started to really thrive.

But, you know, having that example and also someone who would take pride in that idea of.

This group of young guys with Zeve and Vlander and DPD and Kootz, who all seem like rink rats right now, having another person in the fold to, hey, this is how you have a career of 900 plus games.
