I think the easy answer for us right now, Jason, he's played a lot of hockey with Noah Hannafin, so there's some baked-in chemistry there in terms of...

Uh, you know, they played a lot of hard minutes in Calgary.

They played together as partners for the better part of four years.

So we know that works.

Uh, and if that's, uh, if that's how it plays out, that's, uh, that's fine too.

You know, Shea Theodore and Braden McNabb have been longtime, uh, partners.

Jeremy Lauzon is playing real well there now in, uh, Braden's absence.

He's out of our lineup with injury, but, uh, you know, that'll be up to, uh, to Bruce and, uh, John Stevens who runs our defense, but, uh,

I'm pretty comfortable that it could work a few different ways, but likely we'll start out with Noah.

Well, I've seen it firsthand.

He needs Scott Niedermeyer, and you dump the puck in, Scott Niedermeyer goes and gets the puck, and Jason Strudwick finds the first four-checker, and that's the end of the four-check.

I watched it.

And for the benefit of your colleagues there, I'm referring, of course, to we played in the league final.

I think it was 1995 against a very, very good Kamloops team.

We both ended up going to the Memorial Cup.

But if I remember right, that was your partner.

Oh, okay.

I'm sorry.

It's going good, Jeff, and it's progressively getting better as he gets more comfortable.

We've sure noticed and we expect this a little bit with Rasmus Andersen, happened with Thomas Hurdle.
