That would be the blanket statement I would give.

There are some specifics, but that would be the overarching theme.

Right down to the ice.

This is a conversation that has to happen, too, as this team, presumably with youth comes speed and skill.

Um, and as these players come up into this organization as young skilled players, and you're trying to build around that, they're going to have to make a decision.

Hey, if we want to be young and fast and skilled with the puck,

we need ice where the puck bounces less.

And I know they put some work into it, but ultimately I think there's going to, you know, my understanding is that there's at some point, there's going to need to be a really big ticket cut and Hey, easy for me to say, man, I'm not the one, I'm not the one that's got to dole out potentially tens of millions of dollars.

Yeah.

But you know, it's, it's,

It's noticeable, right?

Like I, again, the visiting teams, like guys come off the ice after morning skate and they're changing the sharpenings.

Goalies are changing their sharpenings by, especially when it rains.

And guess what?

It does in Vancouver a lot.

I didn't hear it as much this year.

There's definitely been improvements.

I know they put work and money into it.

but there's a big fix ultimately required.

Like when teams come in and goalies are having to change their sharpenings by like, you know, like two different stages of hollows because the ice is so soft.
