Right.

Which is easy, but it's also not because I literally have to be like, okay, what happened?

What time?

Because those guys leave the ice immediately.

Right.

And then the rooms can open as quickly as they're out there.

So I'm just like, it's, it's a lot of,

pressure for me and making sure the correct and then i'm always fearful that i'm gonna send in the wrong story like i'm gonna send in the wild one and they didn't win it's because each of it's a very different writing but i would agree i don't care that's a little that's a little behind the scenes of what goes on behind the written story everybody

didn't even make it to the skyway either thursday or saturday night because they closed the skyway at midnight so it was negative degrees and we have to walk up us gals i walked out with sarah mcclellan of the star tribune and heather rule because we were all like let's stick together because it's freezing and we don't have the skyway lighting this up but um yeah i wanted to bring that up the last thing i want to bring up before we get into some cues you guys because again tons of great questions still to get to

Got to give another shout out to Quinn Hughes.

Quinn Hughes plays for the Minnesota Wild, and I am so freaking happy that he does because he's even better than I think any of us anticipated.

And I could say this every week.

I probably will.

I will say Quinn Hughes is the best thing to ever happen to the Minnesota Wild.

Probably even better than Kirill Kaprizov.

He is allowing the team to be even better than we imagined.

I mean, he extended his point streak to one goal, eight assists, or excuse me, to five games where he has one goal, eight assists.

He is tied with Lane Hudson for most in the NHL by defensemen with 44 assists this year.

This man, Kirsten, is on pace for 98 points if he had played his entire season with the Minnesota Wild.

He had four minutes and four seconds of possession time.
