It's interesting to hear that because we're used to it in this city, right, all the time.

I think what's interesting, though, is Carolina could look at it.

In theory, Ottawa gets swept.

Well, Carolina's gone to the conference finals year after year after year, and the whole story is, yeah, that's fine.

You're a cute story, but you're never going to win, right?

They've been in that spot so many times where they've been the ones sitting there either swept or gentleman sweep in a series.

And I think it's a good point that you raised, that you've got to make sure that no matter what happens,

you don't take the wrong lesson or come away with the wrong impression from how this went down.

I just wanted to throw that in before we hear from Green on Kachuk and Stutzla in this series.

Yeah, average.

It also helps.

I mean, Jared Bednar, he can sit back and say that because he's got a really, really loaded roster.

That helps.

It's convenient to say, yeah, we can take on any given night pressure off of our main guys.

But I do know they need to score at some point.

But I think the point is sort of salient in the messaging.

I get it.

But it does help when you've got Brock Nelson and you've got Nazem Kadri.

You mentioned Leckanen.

That's a pretty nice luxury to have top to bottom across your forward group.
