And I keep coming back to like, you can't fire as good a coach as Jared Bednar and not feel really good about getting someone who you're confident is better.

And I don't know if that coach is out there right now.

I know, but a side tangent, like are we going to start seeing teams who are kind of Vegas-esque?

And Vegas was a little weird because all their underlying numbers were really good all year.

But like are there coaches like Peter Laviolette and John Tortorella who are now just going to like –

But I will say, though, the one thing is I feel like we can we can say that.

But how many of those teams are going to have the roster like this Vegas roster was way better than a 95 point roster or whatever it finished with.

And the goaltending, it got good.

It got saves.

And.

Yeah, it's it changed that that changed a lot of it.

And I think the vibe shift from Tortorella clearly like gave him a bit of a jolt and they were off and running.

See, this is a hard question for me to answer because a lot of the Avalanche fans I see are people on Twitter, which I don't think is largely representative of most fans.

I think there's certainly... Yeah, I think there... I know that's shocking.

One of my college buddies, he's from Colorado and is an Avs fan, and he's kind of like, it's time for a change.

But then there's other people I know who are like, you can't overreact to one series.

This team is still going to be really good.

The roster is...

pretty much set for next year like they're gonna have to do some tinkering around the edges but like most guys are under contract and there's cap like and it's under the cap so like they could make some decisions to make it younger but if they want to run it back they could come a lot closer to running it back than they did in 2022 when they had to move on from cadre move on from a few other guys who who played key roles in in that team like

I think the biggest thing that Kadri worked with that I guess went cold this series, so you could pour some cold water on this, is the power play with him was so much better after they got him.
