There was so much parity in the West that we were kind of on the verge of not making the playoffs.

But our division was all still really close.

So we had to grind to make the playoffs, and we ended up winning the President's Trophy again.

And everyone said we were the worst team to ever win the President's Trophy.

Were you?

Well, I don't know.

Well, yeah, here's the evidence.

So then we were the number one seed playing the Kings in the first round.

And they beat us pretty easily.

So we were just like...

a little bit from the year before but just playing all these meaningful games and not so much physically because you can recover it's like the mental like where every mistake is such a big deal like when you play 20 games of that then you start the playoffs like as soon as the playoffs start you're almost like oh i can exhale now you know like every mistake is not like we have four wins to play with here or four losses i should say to play with here like

I don't have to be that mentally on.

And the next thing you know, you're down 2-3-1 in the series.

So that's a real thing.

And your fan base is kind of just happy you made playoffs.

It's just like you're playing with house's money.

Everybody's in a good mood.

And you've broken a, what, five, six-year streak of not making the dance.

So interesting.
