be ready because you're probably playing game one against Buffalo.

Like we're, we're going to get you back in when they scratched them from game set.

And that's part of like really good communication and keeping your players on their toes.

Struble didn't play the whole Buffalo series because of Jack guys value to that equation.

And yet Struble for the particular challenge of playing Carolina makes a lot more sense.

You know, you need to move the puck quick.

You can't get stuck with it on your stick in your own zone.

And he does that better than Jack guy does.

He doesn't do other things better than Jack guy does, but he does that better than Jack guy does.

And he also typically over 13 to 15 minute type of ice time.

A lot bit has a little more consistency in his game.

Both of them have been for both of them to have had the value of

to this playoff run as they have, despite swapping in and out of the lineup all season and having their confidence potentially toyed with a little bit in that respect, which I think they handled well enough that it wasn't toyed with as much as it could have been, is...

it speaks to the depth of the team.

It speaks to how good this team is.

You can put a guy in like Struble who missed the entire last series just watching it because he wasn't the right guy for that one.

And he can come in and play as well as he did after that long a layoff.

That's the difference with the Canadians this year.

It's not just, oh, we have some guys on the sidelines and that's depth.

No, they have guys on the sidelines that can come in and make a difference.
