Another 180 that guys are doing is on John Heinz since October 31st, and I have to say I'm in that camp.

I remember sitting exactly where I am right now.

I think it was the loss right before Halloween to the Penguins.

I want to say it was a 5-2 loss where I suggested to you, like, one or two more games, you might have to move off of them.

And boy, I can't believe how wrong I was.

It seemed like the writing was on the wall and his days were numbered, but

the team turned around, they rallied.

Who would have thought that a quick players only meeting where the captain, very soft-spoken Jared Spurgeon might've set things straight.

And now some of the system kind of aligning the, the way that he goes out and on a,

game-to-game basis adjusts and matches and whatnot with defensive lines matching up with the other team's powerhouse stuff.

John Hines has been, I think, just as important as some of the top point scorers on this team.

The way that they have adjusted and kind of let the team at times breathe and stoke the fighter themselves, but also you saw it on the other night on Thursday where it

it's kind of a lackluster performance.

They're getting in a, you know, in a shooting match where nobody's really finding the back of the net with the Columbus blue jackets.

And he lights a fire under them, says, let's pick it up.

And lo and behold, they pull out granted.

It was a hard fought win against a lowly blue jackets team, but you end up coming away with two points on the road there before coming back here this weekend.

Um,

I think what John Hines is doing and what the coaching staff, frankly, I mean, they're now, it seems like they've, they're fixing stuff on the PK.

The PK has been much, much better than what we saw earlier in the season.
