Isn't that going to be the only way you exercise those demons?

Holy jeez.

What a performance.

Um, yeah, it's, you try to sell this to Hollywood and they're like, no, we don't make scripts like this anymore.

Uh, that's, that's the story.

Uh, his family is, is so nice.

And, uh, you know, for him, I think the one thing that we take for granted is he was 27 years old, Jeff.

So, um, he wasn't, he wasn't a young guy and he wasn't starstruck by the moment.

Like he put in his time, he put in his time in Providence and, you know, he won down there.

He, he basically, if you take a look, he, he won, uh,

everywhere that he was at, like regular season wins.

And then what he did this year to backstop this team with 31 wins in the regular season.

And how many guys do you know can sit for 54 days and then like, okay, we're going to put you in the Stanley Cup and go win it for us.

I do think, and that's the other part when you talk about when the series changed, when Brandon Bussey came in in that third period in game number three, and I thought it was genius of Paul Schonfelder, the goaltending coach, and Rod Brendamore to don't yank Freddie in the

you start the period with Brandon and give him a chance to get accustomed to it.

But everything for him is a learning experience, uh, wins and losses and, you know, bus trips and plane rides.

It's, he just, he just soaks it all in and, um, he transfers it to the ice.

He's got this great demeanor and, uh,

His dad, it's funny, is last night, his parents come up to me on the ice and his dad is like, I need to meet Trip Tracy because I want to talk goaltending with Trip.

I think that sums it up perfectly, Jeff.
