And, you know, with the guys that they have in that room, you have a mixture of younger or older and younger guys.

And I think that one of the big guys in that room, if not the biggest, is obviously Jordan Stahl.

He's like the godfather of the team, and he's done a great job.

It's easy to be motivated and easy to play for your coach when, obviously, he's been there.

He's won a Stanley Cup, and he's so devoted to the Carolina Hurricanes that it doesn't take much for them.

And it's a close-knit group.

They are a true family, and it's fun to see.

It's fun to be a part of.

a small part, but it's still fun to be a part of and to watch, you know, how the guys interact.

Even, you know, when they go on the road or whatever, they're always together.

They're always eating out together.

But I think it starts at the top.

I mean, you know, I don't think anyone predicted that they'd sweep 4-0, 4-0.

But it's just a testament to their leadership group, obviously run by Jordan Stahl.

So, I mean, it's a special group, I can say that.

I don't know, to be honest with you.

I think, obviously, they're a heck of a hockey team.

To beat Colorado in the...

I think, you know, some of our D, our penalty killing is exceptional.

So we got to obviously stay out of the box because they have a lethal power play.
