Yeah, I do.

I do.

I had a great experience here, and I don't have anything bad to say.

It was great to be with the guys and even talk about a renewed sense of...

urgency and, and, um, inspiration the players here, um, whether it's the top guys or the roster through, or even staff facility.

Um, it's been really fun to just, to just have that you're in one place for so long being Chicago for nine years, um,

It was great and built such a close knit bond with that city, community and team.

But to have a new challenge and new staff and people to learn off of and feed off of is really, really unique and fun to experience at any point in your career.

And that they've given me a lot of jump and a lot of insight and a lot of things that push me now to to take on new challenges.

So grateful to to be here and hopefully to continue that.

I definitely felt it during the season that it was just a formality of the regular season and everyone was looking forward to the playoffs so much.

And, you know, we pushed so hard to get into the playoffs and then the playoffs we had so many guys injured that we just weren't ready for it.

So, yeah.

You know, this team has played a lot of hockey, I believe, most games in the last three years, I think most games in the last five years.

And on everybody's mind was the playoffs.

Unfortunately, it just, it wasn't, the timing for us wasn't good.

We're playing a better game.

And I knew this year was going to be a little more open with the team that we were playing.

You know, so many good offensive threats on all four of their lines.

But, you know, usually you win or lose on your defensive play.
