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?

Because points are still at a premium right now.

Yeah, your concerns and my concerns are probably slightly different than what their worries are.

I'd be like, oh, we need to get out of here.

I've talked to a number of players

recently about their concerns with the facilities if there are any not one single player is worried about it and i truly believe i'm like they've i've been told ah so what we've we're we've been lucky enough to have the best of the best facilities here in the nhl so if we have to go back to like our roots and play in you know a less than ideal situation or you know in i from what i'm told right now they might have to be getting ready outside of the locker rooms because there's

not enough they don't seem to care like they're just very excited which i i get it's interesting right but here's a locker room aspect locker rooms are in tough shape locker rooms they might have to do and i this i've only seen it during covid in fact when they had to have like separations where players literally changed outside of the dressing rooms and then like kind of went in

to like, they would change kind of in the lobby area and stuff like that.

So I'm like, or get ready in the lobby area.

Cause they weren't big enough in the dressing room.
