you know, you get on the plane after and you get beat like that and you're having conversation with your coach, like we got to change the lineup.

And that's all guys can ask for.

Now, if Kirby does it, he comes out the next game and does it again, I think he's going to probably have to respond, Marty.

But he gave him his chance, and he delivered.

And it was a hell of a thing, right?

It's 5.30 or 5.45 before the game, and he's getting a standing O, and our fans are rallying around him.

And he scores in the game, has a great game.

He's, you know, one of the three stars.

So good on Marty.

Like I have to say, I probably, you know, I was thinking might not have to change it here.

But Marty's pretty good like that.

I do think it goes back to what we talk about all the time with him.

He was struggling to make the NHL, Marty, at one time in his life.

He was up and down.

He was a scratch.

He did go through waivers.
