You know, the one thing I still think about the Wild here is that when Hughes is on the ice, Minnesota dominates play.

And I just think over seven games, if that trend continues...

It's going to be a challenge for Dallas to win it because, you know, the more that this goes and the tighter it is, the more Minnesota will go to Hughes.

And I think at five on five, it's something like six, nothing when Hughes is on the ice.

Yeah.

Dallas is going to have to do something.

I just don't know the amount Hughes plays that doubt that that's a winning strategy for the stars.

They're going to have to, he's a great player and he dictates a lot of that, but they're going to have to score some goals with him on the ice.

You know, I, it's, it's always, it's always tricky, but Kyle, sometimes it seems like some of these guys are surprised by it.

Like, I don't understand that that's the thing from, Oh, it's, it's gotten really nasty all of a sudden.

Well,

Well, I mean, you should expect it by now.

What's gotten into him?

I'll tell you what's gotten into him.

It's mid-April.

That's gotten into him.

I think that what you can do is just penalize scrums harsher.

If you want to stop scrums,

I mean, look, how many games have we seen now where the penalty boxes are totally full?

Buffalo-Boston, Philly-Pittsburgh, you know, the penalty boxes are packed with guys.
