He had a tough go in there, Toronto.
I was out west for a lot of it.
I saw him early on in his career when I was in Boston.
We beat him in a seven game series.
I thought he was their best player in the playoffs.
So I've seen him be good that time of year.
But right now, he's, as you said, he's having a lot of fun out there and he's got other people around him.
If he has a bad couple of, not bad, but if he's not producing for a couple of games, it's not the end of the world in Vegas where Toronto would probably get scrutinized a lot more.
Yeah, with Berkey, he puts a lot of work into it, right?
He knows the position well.
I think he played 17 years in the league.
So he certainly knows the ups and downs, the everyday mental aspect of it.
And that's something as head coaches, having not played that position is pretty unique.
So you need that on your goaltender coach.
And he's excellent at that.
He did a great job with Aiden Hill, who
The year we won the cup, Aiden came over from Arizona.
So that was Berkey's guy and identified him.
He likes that style of goaltender.
With Hart coming in and being hurt, I think he missed a total of 12 weeks.
