And it's like, oh, they're getting it and they're coming together.

Yeah.

And I don't look at it so much like that, like the team as a whole is kind of building this culture as much as I look at it as evidence that just the fact of bringing in new young players will do so much to kind of help everyone, fans and everyone move on from the failures of the past group.

And as we go into the offseason, like, I think that should be instructive that, hey, even if it's just a guy like Curtis Douglas and Kirill Kudryavsev, who's not a super high-end prospect that we're calling up,

Those players are so much more capable of giving fans fun moments like that than the old group of players.

And I'm not saying to that, therefore, immediately, you know, eject all of those old guys.

Right.

Like Brock Besser, I think, has done a really good job fitting in.

Right.

So that's fine.

But to me, it's just a reminder that we should still we should try to be doing more of this.

We should be trying to like we sent out Tyler Myers and Connor Garland.

They weren't problems, but it created more space for these guys to play.

And that's fun.

And it gives our fans fun moments.

And we should be trying to recreate that going into the offseason.

In some ways, you'd just way rather watch different guys make mistakes or different guys play poorly than the same guys play poorly.

That was disaster, though.

oh yeah it was a disaster and to me i'm happy that skinner went for his own sake like get out of that honestly as we're going through it and we'll just keep going it's the same as pedersen in a lot of ways here i think the difference though is edmonton needed to improve on the ice whereas the canucks don't need to act like it's not about oh we nailed this free agent signing and now we've got a 30 goal score in our lineup it is more about just the fact of change now

The risk for the Canucks is not so much that you're going to go from Skinner to Jari and it's going to be a disaster.
