And sometimes if you don't have the best player in the series and the series is teetering, it can be hard to come through.

Again, I did not see a whole lot of that.

I saw the action there.

I don't know a whole lot of sack either, so it's tough for me to respond to that one.

But again, it's always nice when you see homegrown talent, I would say local boys in it.

So again, it's somebody you can cheer for if you know them, if you cross paths.

But again, for me personally, I know next to nothing.

Buffalo is not a team I follow very closely in any way.

So like I say, even the series they played against Boston, it was down to highlight and like, oh, McAvoy is going to get a hearing here.

So I watched what happened, but that's about it.

Yeah, it's always a copycat league.

Teams that are successful, you look at why they're successful and look at the players that are successful, and then you try to emulate.

Again, it's no different than when Brendan Gallagher entered the league.

People looked at him too low.

He's small, but you look at the tenacity, Roussel before him that had success as well in a smaller role, but these players that aren't necessarily the bigger players, but they come in with a...

with it with a ton of heart um a little bit of skill to back it up and then they can push through so um again these are players that succeeded this or excel at this time of year because they have they have a little bit of bite to their game and that's what you need come springtime because the the tempo amps up um the revs tend to be a little bit more lenient with the with the whistles and so if you're not ready to to push and get pushed uh then you're gonna have a hard time succeeding

I don't think so.

You obviously believe right till the end and past the end as well.

You can see the writing in the terms of for a couple of years for us,

teams had to beat us.
