And it's just like a really aggressive skating style that is hard to maintain over a long NHL season.

Yeah.

And I think that the fact that they've gotten through the first three rounds so quickly is a big part of it because they can maintain that energy.

And, you know, a lot of watching that series up close with Montreal, the Canadians were just completely out of gas.

You know, they had played six more games.

And then in Carolina, they seemed so fresh and they had, it felt like they had barely played any hockey and they were just

They were just ready to run all over them.

And then that's the way that it played out.

I mean, to be honest, including seeing them up close, they were the third best line for Carolina in all the games that I saw when I was down there.

And I would say that that's the case for game one as well.

So it's kind of a unique situation that a team can have its first line not playing that well and their ice time getting cut and just looking a little bit out of sync.

And then the team is still advancing and winning as many games.

I mean, it speaks to the depth that Carolina has.

And I think that that's kind of the dichotomy that Vegas is built in a different way.

Vegas has better high-end players than Carolina does, but Carolina's got better depth than Vegas does.

So we'll see which one wins out here.

But I'm most surprised by Seth Jarvis because he's a guy that had such a – he had a really good season.

There were some injuries mixed in there.

He makes Team Canada at the Olympics.
