But, you know, I think with the playoffs, it's a little bit different than the playoffs in regular season.

Regular season, the intensity is a little bit different.

It is lower.

And shifts are a little bit longer.

And it's easy for guys to get kind of pushed out and not get their regular shifts.

Just because everyone just extends their shifts, you know, 10, 15 seconds doesn't seem much.

But when you go through a rotation or two, it's...

or before each timeout, it really adds up.

But during the playoffs, it's never been an issue just because the shifts are more intense or shorter and everyone gets involved in the play.

So...

Yeah, it's a little bit different.

Playoffs, regular season, that.

And then obviously you've got a guy that's dangerous.

I guess it affects the other team just with matchups because now you've got two premier players that you really have to worry about and have to focus on.

So yeah, adding a player like Leon definitely makes a big difference.

Yeah, great situation for us.

The game means something for us.

We are wanting to play our best going into the playoffs.

It's not a game where we can take lightly.

And, yeah, we want to have home ice advantage and dictate who we play.
