Rest vs. Rust, Habs vs. Canes with Eddie Olczyk

Yeah.

Real Kyper & Bourne
Rest vs. Rust, Habs vs. Canes with Eddie Olczyk

I think you understand how some guys have had a difficult time of playing with him or understanding on the certain spots on the area of the ice to make sure that your head is on a swivel and to be able to get it to him.

Real Kyper & Bourne
Rest vs. Rust, Habs vs. Canes with Eddie Olczyk

the expectation from those guys, they only see it from one way.

And, and I don't think that a lot of these guys that do have this reputation that they, they don't ever change.

Real Kyper & Bourne
Rest vs. Rust, Habs vs. Canes with Eddie Olczyk

And sometimes guys do understand and you just gotta, when you play with them, you gotta, you gotta know to be ready and you gotta just, you know, you gotta be comfortable and, and let's, let's not make it where it's,

Real Kyper & Bourne
Rest vs. Rust, Habs vs. Canes with Eddie Olczyk

You got to know how important a guy like Gabe Landeskog is because it seems like he plays with him a lot.

Real Kyper & Bourne
Rest vs. Rust, Habs vs. Canes with Eddie Olczyk

And obviously he missed a lot of time because of all the injuries and everything that he had for that long stretch of three plus years.

Real Kyper & Bourne
Rest vs. Rust, Habs vs. Canes with Eddie Olczyk

But I think it certainly helps when you do have a guy like that that goes out there with him and sits next to him and does have that ability to be able to...

Real Kyper & Bourne
Rest vs. Rust, Habs vs. Canes with Eddie Olczyk

you know, reel a guy in when needs be.

Real Kyper & Bourne
Rest vs. Rust, Habs vs. Canes with Eddie Olczyk

But again, he's one of the best players in the world and he puts a lot of pressure on himself and he expects other guys to rise to that level.

Real Kyper & Bourne
Rest vs. Rust, Habs vs. Canes with Eddie Olczyk

And just unfortunately, the majority of the league, and like I said, in certain situations, you know, we play with guys where you just, it's never going to be perfect and it's never going to be right.

Real Kyper & Bourne
Rest vs. Rust, Habs vs. Canes with Eddie Olczyk

So you just got to learn to be able to play the, you know, play the hand that's been dealt.

Real Kyper & Bourne
Rest vs. Rust, Habs vs. Canes with Eddie Olczyk

Yeah, Borny, I think it is the going in anyways.

Real Kyper & Bourne
Rest vs. Rust, Habs vs. Canes with Eddie Olczyk

It is the big question.

Real Kyper & Bourne
Rest vs. Rust, Habs vs. Canes with Eddie Olczyk

And I guess I think we'll get a pretty good idea probably โ€“

Real Kyper & Bourne
Rest vs. Rust, Habs vs. Canes with Eddie Olczyk

I mean, I've kind of said five to seven minutes of the first period of where Carolina is.

Real Kyper & Bourne
Rest vs. Rust, Habs vs. Canes with Eddie Olczyk

So I think it's got a chance to go, I think, in a couple of different directions.

Real Kyper & Bourne
Rest vs. Rust, Habs vs. Canes with Eddie Olczyk

One is they come out like gangbusters, and then they just ride it off.

Real Kyper & Bourne
Rest vs. Rust, Habs vs. Canes with Eddie Olczyk

They ride off maybe not playing at that high intensity early, but they're able to sustain it and find a way to play a pretty darn good game.

Real Kyper & Bourne
Rest vs. Rust, Habs vs. Canes with Eddie Olczyk

Two is the obvious one where you think they're just going to be out of sync, and passes are out of line and out of sync, and they're icing the puck a lot, and they're fumbling their way out of their zone.
