Buffalo, in their way last night, they just go.

They go.

Those are the games that are tough.

We wanted to do it.

Sturmium implemented that.

Then in the neutral zone, we have our little clog that we call it that likes to piss teams off.

He just had things that he believed in that he brought in and he had conviction in.

And like, I think early on when he never played it and like we weren't having the best results, it's kind of hard.

And then we kind of flipped it.

We understood what he wanted to do is D zone structure, all that.

And then he could put it in front of you on tape.

So like then the video sessions are like, look, guys, I told you just do this.

It works.

So then.

you can see it and then we all believe it then we all just bought in and like i think that has a lot to do with the success we've had this year like you know obviously he's he's great great leader men and then his strategy so he's just been awesome for us one quick follow-up you mentioned the personalities and being a closer-knit group and i know z was there last year but he is just on all the time chirping like even last night you guys against buffalo it was um

boxing gloves Arvidsson's uh goal where pasta kind of got poked check and Arvidsson just poked it in and he's coming into the pile chirping guys about having boxing gloves on so he's just never not chirping including the other team so what's it like playing with big z and is he probably one of the bigger personalities in the league that you've seen

oh man he's like oh he is he's one of a kind he really is like he's fucking i was ready to kill him last night i came in after the game and i was asking for like an ice bag because i had like a bursa when i fell and as soon as i come in i'm like i see i kind of got this he goes where like he hits me with one of those i was like you fucking oh my god i was so mad at him but he is he's always on like that i think in a way like

Last year I had to get used to him.

Like I didn't really know, you know, he's coming from a different team.

I don't know.
