But...

The fact that we've had, you know, Carolina takes a two goal lead in the first game.

Vegas comes back and there's lead changes between there or at least tie games again the rest of the way multiple times.

And then Vegas has had a two goal lead overturned.

And like it's been dynamic, even if some of the periods maybe have been, you know, one way traffic for Carolina or Vegas.

But it does feel like the tension is always there.

I wonder, too, because we saw the trend last year with the sub-six-foot D-men not drafted as well.

And now Vegas is having success here and how that might influence it moving forward.

You know, I know there's all this push of like, hey, get the next Lane Hudson and everything like that.

But, you know, these teams copy what wins.

And you see Braden McNabb go out and come right back in.

And it's just like, yeah, I want to find guys like that.

I wonder if that element is going to seep into the minds of GMs.

As much as I think that might be wrong to some degree, I'm just curious how that plays out.

Well, you referenced it last week too, like the, as we prepare for these finals, like, you know, 30 years ago, there was the moment of, Hey, is the NHL passing the NBA and all that?

And then you mentioned today, it's like, yeah, it was for me, it was nice to get a break yesterday from watching these games to start doing some other things around the house.

Cause these five games so far between the two series have been phenomenal.

Like what a month of sports as we get ready for the world cup.

What's fascinating, too, is the other situations people have referenced.

We haven't talked necessarily about someone that has a potential of being the first-line player, right?
