Top to bottom.

And they have enough of them that are offensively dynamic where the problems that the Hurricanes sometimes run into is with the man-on-man where, I mean, with the individual effort getting beat to the net and stuff like that.

So the speed and dynamic players that they have will be able to cross fits in the defensive zone from the man-on-man perspective.

Also, what's going on with Brady?

Okay.

So he's playing.

Now, that was just, I have no idea.

We talked about it last episode.

Because you talk about net front presence, and there's very few guys in playoffs right now that command the front of the net in the offensive zone like a Brady Kachuk.

There's maybe like five guys.

size wise just like screen like tipping pucks uh second opportunities like what he could do to keep plays alive below the goal line in the offensive zone so that is a big time question mark for me for ottawa as far as how healthy is he and how quickly can they move up and down the ice because we know that carolina can move they can play with pace they come at you four lines and they keep that pace throughout a full 60 minutes so that is a big big x factor going into this series

Okay, so we talk goaltending in the playoffs.

Ottawa has that edge.

By the way, this went back to when I picked Ottawa last episode saying with the air quotes.

What's that little symbol?

Asterisk?

Asterisk of Omar playing good.

So that's a big part.

We have the goalie.

Then you talk about center ice.
