Landon Ferraro

Even in a situation where you're not expecting them to win, they can't lose the way that they did.

When they go down three times, they come back three times and end up winning in a shootout.

The fight and determination you have to have when there's only three games left in the year and they don't matter to care that much.

I brought it up yesterday, but

Like watching Curtis Douglas get his first goal, obviously seeing how excited he was and all that was great.

But for a team that for a season and a half here has been talking about culture change and playing for each other and caring and all that stuff like that.

To me, watching him celebrate that goal and watching the rest of the guys celebrate with him immediately, then on the bench, in the locker room after the game, the clips come out, and his interview with Murph, like,

to me, that change has already started.

Those guys were genuinely happy for him.

And to see that from where conversation was even two months ago, do they have miles of road to cover still?

Of course they do.

But to me, that looked like a team that's starting to kind of figure that out.

And that's what you're hoping for at the end of the year here.

Yeah.

I mean, it definitely plays into things.

I think it also really matters how he interacts with the group, how he works in practice, how he works in the gym, all of that.

Like if he's, you know, if all those teammates can see he's doing everything he possibly can coming into next year and through the year, if he's here and, you know, his points aren't there still, but yeah,

He's doing everything he can.

Yeah, guys would be annoyed that their best player isn't playing at that level, but it's not something they'd hold against him at that point, right?

Like if you see the guy's doing everything he can, but... But I guess that begs the question, will he do it?
