They've got one more home game Thursday against...

Yep.

They go, they go for a one-off to Edmonton Saturday and then they come back Monday against Montreal and then finish their, the, before the break in Nashville.

I think that's, I think it's a weird back to back.

So.

Yeah, they've got one random one-off.

But five games, it's funny.

Something I hadn't considered until I was chatting with Kachuk was it's hard for players right now to focus on their team, right?

Like, there's so much excitement.

I mean, even me, I was talking –

with Kachuk about Team USA stuff, right?

Like, I wasn't talking... And he had a game that night.

It was game day, so I felt weird, but he was like, no, it's getting really exciting.

He's like, of course, our focus is on our team.

So I have to imagine Boldy and Faber and even Gus and Velstad and Eck, like...

It's going to be interesting to get through these next few games because you are looking forward to getting with your countrymen and your teammates, right?

And you're looking forward to the Olympics.

There's been just this hype surrounding it since teams started getting announced and named even back in the summer.

How do you think they navigate that?

Like, how important is it going to be for them to navigate it?
