OK, I want to see you come back against the Jets and play really, really well.

Well, you do the exact opposite.

And in the three games that Jule Eriksson-Eck has missed, the Wild has scored seven goals and given up 15.

Again, going back to, one, how much they can't afford to lose a center, two, how much they can't afford to lose him in particular, and three, you know, your best players are Kirill Kaprizov, Quinn Hughes, Matt Boldy, but there might not be a more important player than Jule Eriksson-Eck.

And was that on Eric Sinek or Bogosian?

Because he said, I expect them both to travel in the morning.

And then he came back and said, something has changed.

I saw the quote, but I can't decide.

Was he talking about both?

Was he talking about just...

Yeah, probably.

Swelling or something?

I don't know.

But I just know this.

This team without him is going nowhere.

And, and here, here's where you're boxed in.

And I think this is a good team.

And I think they have, I think they have a very good chance to turn things around quickly.

All of that being said, you know, I hate to say it, but because your first round matchup will probably be very difficult, but losing the first round is not really an option.

No, I agree.
