You just don't do that.

You wait until the final 20 minutes.

And like you said, for for hockey, it's a weird game because you look at basketball, you look at football.

If you don't get that direct points, because that's how I think in a lot of other sports, we recognize baseball is maybe another weird one because you could barrel up the ball and it's like, oh, God, they're just getting unlucky today.

That's one thing.

But football, basketball points is a direct correlation of how good you're playing that day.

Hockey, you can dominate the game and get shut out.

That's just how that's how it is.

Putting your top offensive players on the ice at the same time seems like the easiest way to kind of steer things back to your direction and have the most control in the game.

And he waited until the final 20 minutes, which...

makes me question a little bit there but i i i'm curious to see i know he had a comment i think was after the game or it was something that i pulled out of joe uh joe smith's article of the athletic um last night but heinz mentioned he'd rather make a change to lines in game rather than make the changes between them and just kind of make it yeah work and i understand that but yeah it feels like when a problem problem is just so obvious you have to address it and i think

Similar to the comments and the way that he approaches the media that also speaks to the locker room is something is wrong and we're changing it to the point where we're addressing this outside of the game.

Like that, that's how bad the problem is.

I think we're maybe one game away from that.

Cause if you go down and you, you put up one goal in a two, one overtime loss or something like that to Chicago and you come back here for Thursday, how do you not make like a noticeable change before the game?

Yeah, I mean, compared to, I guess, what I've become used to there.

It seems like Johansson has to go down.

Ideally, because of the right-handed shot, I would like to see if Bobby Brink gets back to being healthy.

He slots in and gets some time in that top six because you go out and make the trade for him, you're a check for him, one for one.

I would like to at least see because when they brought him in originally, he did get some time when Johansson was out with the concussion symptoms and whatnot.
