Now, what I would say to Austin and the other players on the team is when we do have the puck, we have to get really excited and brace and celebrate playing offense.

We got to let the skill and these amazing players, the talent that they've shown us,

creating some you know a lot of goals not just highlight real goals we got to really embrace and celebrate that again so we will demand the part one the baseline but I think we really will try to emphasize and work on and maybe a better word is celebrate you know in different ways as a team and

getting back to scoring goals and being dangerous.

And I think Austin is the epitome of that.

Well, it's, it's all those things.

It's all those things, but it's also in practice.

It's also through our video sessions.

It's,

it's in any ways that we can highlight and emphasize and show just the passion and the skill and the creativity required to score those types of goals or create those types of chances.

So I want to make sure that, yes, we're banging on our structure and our defensive game and our play without the puck, but I want to give equal time and equal respect to the great talents that we have and try to make it, you know,

fun and exciting and and a priority um not just to be good defensively you have to be but to score goals and and to see you know guys kind of get that touch again but i do agree that starts with the power play i really believe that i believe the power play can really help those players get their touches drive drive the 515 offense and get them feeling good about that

Yeah, I mean, I think it's certainly drilled in, and I think people understand it, but it's just committing to it day after day, night after night, and it's a drag.

And I don't know at time, I don't know that –

I don't know that 10 years ago, 15 years, 20 years ago, that it was as critical as it is today because today, because the other teams have pretty elaborate defensive structures that make it so hard to create offense, you have to make sure you're matching that.

So when you do create offense or you have that opportunity, you don't need six because it's pretty hard to score six in the league these days.

You might only get to three.

So it's hard to get to three.

So you can't try to get to six by giving up four or five.

It just doesn't work.
