Yeah, that's right.

I knew my role.

I knew my role, buddy.

The less I touched the puck, the better, even in warm-up.

Yeah, no, my partner was Nolan Baumgardner.

Yeah, Scotty, he wished it was me.

He would have had an even better career.

Kelly, when it comes to the players that are going to the Olympics, and there's so much hockey for them in such a short time, including the travel to the Olympics and then hopefully a long playoff run, do you, the coaches and the trainers, do they actively manage giving those players, whether it's more rest or watch their minutes or the way they're working out with all that sports science stuff?

Is there a different plan compared to non-Olympic years for your highest-end players?

Well, if you're up 5-0 in the third period, I wouldn't mind seeing that.

I don't see that as much.

Oh, Doug, don't you think, like, 20 years ago when you got up, the big players didn't play.

You sent out the meat wagon, and not even to fight, but just to, like, rest.

Like, I remember Bertuzzi, Naz, Lamorson not even playing when we were up by a ton.

right and they just run the rest of us out there to kill the clock and now you know i don't know if it's those guys i get they want to play they wanted to play then too but i i i would rest them like it's over man sit down i don't know if it's like a stat padding thing where they're like i want to continue out there and if i get eight points tonight i want eight yeah i wonder if it's just the maybe the pace of the game like look at the game the other night

Well, that's fair.

That's another point of it.

Kelly's talking about his team.

They play in L.A.

and then Washington.
