But Carolina, you know, they play a certain way.

They're built a certain way.

And until they prove otherwise, they're kind of built to fail at a certain level of the playoffs.

So maybe this is the year they won't.

But to me, Colorado...

You know, regular season, let's remember as well, Colorado kind of took their foot off the gas a little bit the last half of the season, last third of the season.

And they still won the President's Trophy by daylight.

They were the best team in the league in the regular season.

And, you know, what impresses me about them other than, you know, I mentioned their depth.

And, of course, they have great players as well.

Kael McCarr's, I think, been playing at about half speed in this series.

But what impresses me is they seem to have a strong confidence about them.

They have a swagger that's not overt.

They know that they can beat anybody, and it's just a matter of them finding something close to their A game, and then that will happen.

So I was really impressed by Jared Bednar.

Well, I've been impressed with him all through the series because I've never dealt with him this much before.

I think he's the perfect coach for this team.

That attitude, that mindset that I was just talking about, I think a lot of that comes from him.

Of course, it helps when you have McCarr and McKinnon on your team.

But I really got the sense after game three, which was all Minnesota, and everything that had gone wrong for Minnesota went right in that game.
