I was watching this game live and I kind of missed what happened right away, but I saw like the reaction to it and I was watching it with my dad and I could tell based on the faces he was making, the places he was holding. I said to my dad, I'm like, oh, he's got the stomach ache right now, but like I know what's going on right here.

Yeah, we don't talk about that. No, we don't talk about that. No, no, no. Fatou, I want to ask you a question. You mentioned the Four Nations. In the wake of the Four Nations, something I've heard a lot is, you know, we need to make the game more accessible. We need to make it more affordable at the youth levels to really get people interested. So what do you see as the biggest barriers here?

All right, you keep bringing up the Capitals, so I'll ask you about them. I'll be the guy. What do the Capitals have to do to avoid an embarrassing exit in the playoffs this year? Because if they finish this regular season as strong as they've been all year, if they don't get to at least the Eastern Conference Finals, it's going to be looked upon as that was a fraudulent year.

So before the year, I think you would be looking at it and saying, wow, you know, we're the top team in the East and we have a chance to, you know, win a playoff series. That's great. But at this point, with the way the year has gone, like what is realistic for you guys and what are fans going to say if you guys lose in the second round? Are fans going to be saying, oh, that was a waste of a year.

We really screwed that one up. Are they going to be saying, well, you know, we kind of came out of nowhere. We had a great year. Like it might be something to build on at the end of Ovi's tenure here.
