Unless I'm forgetting one.

Yeah, it's happened twice, 1950 and 1954.

Right.

So we're due, and if there's ever been a series, it does feel like this one that's been dead even through four games could do it.

And he had like five points coming into the series.

Yeah, the two-way, the defensive stuff, you're right, could tip it.

brindamore and torts are kind of maxing out what these lineups can be i don't think there's like an obvious technical or tactical sort of uh coin there's no tactical coinage being left in the couch cushion well that was gonna be my next question for jim considering how close it has been like do you see any possible adjustments tweaks like okay maybe there's a vulnerability here that one team can attack is there anything like that that you that stands out to you over the final three games

He's been unreal.

Yeah, like absolutely unreal in this series and really in these playoffs.

What do you think of the the goaltending storyline from Carolina's side?

And I know

Yeah, I think it was, was it today that it was, yeah, it was Bussey in the starters net and no Anderson at the skate, even though it was like, oh, it's just a day off for game four.

So it seems like maybe some gamesmanship or maybe they just want to go with Bussey without saying that they just want to go with Bussey.

Wait, no.

That's bad, too.

Oh, man.

We always do the, you know, the NHL is going to try to clone whatever the Stanley Cup winning team is.

did and if the carolina like three years ago won the stanley cup well we by the way would be like oh no this is gonna suck like this is gonna kill the quality of the league now now teams still might take the wrong lesson for sure from it but at least you can look at it and say the skill element was important i think the other story is carolina too in a copycat league though edmonton's already looked at and assessed vegas and been like we want to be you know what absolutely horrible people

That's what we're going for here.

But I think part of the story of Carolina as well is it's great to have your vision, but like you can't be too dogmatic.
