They have a relentless forecheck.

Their team game probably wins the Stanley Cup of team games throughout the regular season, throughout the playoffs when they're on.

And they've been virtually on in every game they've played here in the postseason.

And they defend man-to-man.

Vegas is a little bit different.

Their zone coverage in the defensive zone, they block it down in front.

They block a ton of shots.

And before we get to the goalies, you know, we're talking about how they play as teams.

And so what ends up happening is when there's breakdowns and mistakes, you get what you get.

Carolina has owned the first period of virtually every game.

They've outshot Vegas 41 to 14 in the first periods.

And it's been the second period of long changes where Vegas has caught Carolina either in bad changes or stretching out the ice on them, which is kind of what Carolina likes to do against the other side.

And that's what you get.

And then they get the battle of the aerial flips, right?

They flip the puck out of the zone.

They get in a position that bogs the game down and I hate it, but the puck bounces and there's, there's people running into each other and you, and you get those situations too.

So all of that causes, like I said before, chaos.

And then that's what we ended up getting.

I want to find out where all these people are that do this research because it seems like every game they're spitting out these numbers that you get and you're like, what, it's been 55 years since this has happened?

Or, you know, yeah, he had four plus goals in four straight games.
