They're not being as blunt as saying we are going to win the Stanley Cup, but I think you're right.

Just based on the high level of execution that we saw from the Hurricanes in that regard through the first three rounds of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

So they've gotten away from their identity.

It hasn't worked through four games entirely, but it's a best of three now, right?

And one thing they did talk about was, and it was actually Taylor Hall who stated, just defiantly said, look, this game is going to be different.

And the series will probably be different moving forward.

You know, certainly do what you have to do hard on the forecheck.

Create as many opportunities.

Make life tough on Carter Hart and goal for the Vegas Golden Knights.

But play that more brand-like hockey that we're accustomed to seeing from the Hurricanes.

So that's what Taylor Hall was talking about after the morning skate today.

No, and look, if the Carolina Hurricanes are going to prevail, it's no different than Jack Eichel on the other side.

Doesn't it feel that those players, those names have to factor in?

They have to be part of the solution here.
