Maybe the overall points haven't been there, but for Ehlers, that big off-season acquisition, signing him to over $50 million, and

And him getting those two goals and especially that OT one, he was very emotional after the game.

I guess his father had traveled in for the game and gave him some very encouraging words beforehand, before he left for the rink.

And he was very, very emotional post-game in that interview.

No, he kept it between him.

I think that Ehlers was fighting it a little bit.

He wants to contribute offensively.

He loves this group of guys, and even as we were doing the interview trip, a few guys were walking by, and they kind of just gave him that grab on the shoulder.

You could just tell this group really loves one another.

And another thing too, like to not complain that he's on the third line.

Like I love how they're able to distribute and, and, you know, they got two snow plows on that line and Martin can stall guys who can create space when the board battles, but like for him to be put on that third line and not bitch, it seems like that's a, that's a pretty selfless thing, right?

For a guy who's making that much money and who's probably played top six, most of his career.

To the point where he almost, he got taken off that line for a couple shifts, I noticed.

He often leads their team in ice time, which I found surprising too.

I think he was plus three with two assists in game two as well.

I want to talk about Slavin just a little bit more because he ate it the game one and then has an unreal bounce back game.

Jackie Redmond interviewed him after the game.

You don't often hear a lot of hockey players talk about their faith

And, like, he's pretty open about it.

And I would imagine being around him, he just seems like the perfect person, like the type of guy you want on a team.
