And it comes back to a small detail of being, you know, between the net and the puck in the defensive zone.

Blocking a shot instead of making it look good, like you were almost there.

Like...

Johnny, you're in the rinks every night, and I'm watching other teams.

This is the thing.

The league is different now.

We had Joel Quinville on yesterday.

He said they don't have a practice time.

It's about rest over practice.

I'm shocked.

There's nights where I'm watching, and I'm like, that should be an easy out, and it's like, I can't execute a 10-foot pass.

It's the best league in the world.

And like a 10-foot pass blows up on a guy's stick or he misses him, he hits him in the skates.

And because the game is so fast, instead of stopping on plays, it's like circle and everything is just kind of like, oh, that play blew up.

Let's try the next play.

I feel like there's a mentality in today's game because the game is so fast.

It's like keep the play going, keep it at a high rate, where I think some of the details are missing.

Maybe I'm...

you know, old school in that mentality.

But it's just, I look at it and the game is really sloppy on a lot of different fronts.
