They just burn this city down or what?

And each round you went further.

It just got crazier and crazier.

And I remember calling all the guys I knew from playing on different teams and junior buddies.

I said, if you ever get a chance to play in Montreal, you have to come and see what it's like to play in this city and play for this organization and feel what it's like in the Bell Centre for a playoff game.

It's pretty remarkable.

I never thought so.

I mean, when you're inside the dressing room and you're kind of getting to that moment or it's a couple minutes before you're heading out for warm-up or you're heading out for the start of the game, you hear a little bit of the buzz, but the doors are closed and it's pretty...

normal once once you when you're sitting there but once those doors open up and it's 30 seconds before you start walking onto the ice you start to hear it and then when you start walking down the hallway and you you can see the fans and the towels and the ice lit up on fire and that's when you feel it you kind of get that five ten seconds as you're walking out till you get on the ice um where you get that that jitter and nerve feeling but then once you step on the ice um

It just kind of takes over.

It's a surreal moment, and then you just go, it's just another hockey game.

I loved every minute of it.

Um,

I also think maybe for the player that I was, I was suited for playing in the Canadian market because the expectation for me to get points wasn't there.

Because I think any offensive player, and I wasn't one of them, so I'm kind of speaking out of my context here, but...

They're going to go through a slump at some point in the season.

You know, whether it's two games, five games, seven games where things aren't going the way they want.

They're not putting up numbers and points.

And as soon as that happens, I can only speak for Montreal, they start talking about it.

And once they start talking about it in the media, then the fans want to talk about it.
