But the minute the whistle goes like that's it.

it's like both teams, like their tough guy is their power play.

Was it game one with the shoulder when he left?

The McNabb guy had something happen to him as well.

So going back to my original point, the Carolina Hurricanes have figured out the Vegas Golden Knights.

Is that what you're saying?

So he becomes a second line elite level player and he doesn't get like doesn't have like the toughs like the top guys do.

Yeah, I wonder if this is the moment where Detroit does take a small step back.

And if it is a team like Utah, it's like your Simishevs and your Danoyes and your T.G.

Ginlas.

that you go fishing for and maybe there's a hayton that comes along with it for for right now but this is an opportunity for them to take a small step back for a huge lurch forward and they sort of recalibrate um whose timeline they're going to do this on which probably means inevitably maybe this is going to lead to like an alex the blanket deal too who knows yeah but like i just wonder if they alter the timeline for the red wings because of this new reality

You've got to make sure that you are keeping your powder dry for the right guy.

I still do wonder about Dallas with Dylan Larkin.

It became really obvious how slow Dallas was when Rupe Hins was out of the lineup.

Dylan Larkin and Rupert Hintz won two.

This is a center punch.

That's real nice.

And you're insulated if Rupert Hintz is out.

So there is a pressure point.

There is a pressure point here, and that is Detroit just saw Buffalo leap over them, just saw Montreal leap over them, and Ottawa leap over them, and the Florida Panthers are coming back into the mix right now.
