Yeah.

You know, and you just will attest to that all to the, you know, the Russ versus Russ as you had mentioned.

And, you know, I think that there also is a scenario where they come out like gangbusters and all of a sudden they don't have anything left for a period or two periods and maybe Montreal is able to take advantage.

So it'll be really interesting to see how this all plays out.

But I think we would all agree that

We would rather be coming off of a nice long break than having come off a back-to-back seven-game series.

And yeah, I know the Canadians got the extra day off, which I don't think you should underestimate it.

It's like last night, going into that game last night, everybody was talking, okay, Makari's out, okay, it's only one game.

Well, last time I checked, it's one of four games.

When you don't have the best defenseman, arguably, in the world, he doesn't play games.

That's a big advantage for Vegas.

And they took advantage of it.

It's no different here.

Seven games, you know, they come off a seven-game series, that being the Habs.

They took advantage of, you know, let's see if they can take advantage of the extra day off where they didn't have to play, you know, 48 hours later.

So I don't know, Barney, how this thing goes, but I know the Canadians were not around the rink today, so we didn't get a chance to really see anybody today.

We're going to get a chance to visit with Marty St.

Louis before the game.

But Carolina seemed pretty relieved that it was game day.

They were pretty jacked up about how they had been playing.
