Goes to Philly,

suddenly it becomes a rebuild.

You know, it just didn't, it didn't work out.

And so they realized, okay, we got to pivot here and we got to start drafting and getting some young prospects.

We just don't have them.

And so again, that's not the best fit for torts.

This team's actually a better fit, I think, for him.

And I think he learned with his assistant coach role with four nations in the Olympics that I got to, I got to ease up a little bit.

And he said that to me last night when I interviewed him between periods of the game.

He goes, yeah, I need to change a little bit.

That was a, it was, it was a subtle line, but to me it's, it was like a trumpet on top of a mountain screaming like, Hey, I admit it.

I got to ease up a little bit here.

I can't talk to these guys.

Like I might talk to, you know, someone, a young player on the flyers, uh, you know, trying to get them going.

So,

To me, it's just an organization, give them three weeks, give a torch, three-week training camp just as they enter that opening series against Edmonton, which I think the Ducks will hang on to that division.

But whether it's the Ducks or Edmonton, that they're ready and prepared to win a seven-game series as much as possible.

And I think that's what this is, a three-week torch training camp to get them ready for the playoffs.

It's over.

Lose two and barbecue.
