It's a really good question.

Yeah, you know, every, you know, I always believe every year, you know, every team runs its own race.

So things change from year to year.

You know, you played players, you know, between being a 22 year old player and a 26 year old player, lots of things in your life can change.

You might be married, you might have children, you might be at a different point in your contract, you might feel you're at a different point in your career.

So you constantly have to be evolving as a coach to be able to manage like that.

I think when you look at

Some of the coaches in the league who've had longer tenures, I think they really are adept at that.

And, you know, the demands of the job.

It's a hard job being an NHL head coach.

There's a lot of pressure.

There's pressure from media.

There's pressure from management, from ownership that comes into play.

And I think that, you know, eventually when you push as hard as you have to push to be successful, sometimes it wears on players.

And that's where you get to...

The point where some of that passion and enthusiasm that you need to be successful starts to waver a bit.

And I'm making that as a blanket statement, not necessarily per se to our own situation that we're just going through.

But when you ask the question sort of overall, yeah, when you look at the longest tenured coaches, it's a list that's got some names on it that you wouldn't expect based on them not being in their teams very long.

Well, you're asking a good question.

I think you need to be careful, you know, making the association that the goaltending is completely the reason that our team is playing like we're playing.
