I mean, there's a lot of, there's a mental side of it and all the stress of it and the spotlight.

Um, but just that it's, you know, for a guy who barely played any hockey during the regular season and obviously not at all for the previous two and a half, uh, this has been a fair amount of hockey and, and, you know,

the difference is they don't have Brandon Busty sitting there.

They've got Aiden Hill making six and a half, and they don't seem to want to play him.

I think, like, it's funny because I feel like I'm being critical of his game, and, like, I just described a moment where Huck goes in, and I don't know that it's on him.

I feel like mentally being able to lock in and focus, as absurd as that sounds, during a Stanley Cup final, because obviously you've got to be focused.

It's just reality.

But, like, to have all those moments where they're not busy, and then, boom, the next shot's a great A. Like, it's just really easy for the mind to wander.

And, you know, I know Carter's worked on that, you know, since he had a sports psychologist since he was a teenager, and those are the kind of things you should be able to handle.

But it just...

again, like it's, it's hard.

Like I feel it's hard to criticize cause I, I feel like the play hasn't been that bad despite all the goals going in.

But he is, you know, he's like four goals below expected for the, for the playoffs and, or for the, for the cup final.

And I just, yeah, I don't know if there's one specific way.

I'm kind of talking my way around it here a little bit in terms of how it manifests itself.

But I just, he hasn't just, it's not that he hasn't been, it's not that he has not been sharp.

It's just,

There's moments where it's not as crisp and clean as we're used to seeing it from him, if that makes sense.

I mean, it just was a really tough year.

I don't know.
