It seems like Carolina's going to be hard to beat.

It seems like they're lining up on a path just the way they're playing the game.

I mean, they're...

They both kind of play it similarly.

I mean, and what a series would that would be?

You know what I mean?

Just from a speed and from an attack standpoint.

But, you know, I think somebody could catch Carolina.

I don't know if somebody – if Minnesota can't do it, I don't know.

I'm not sure.

there's something in the other division on the West that can take that down.

And so they look dynamic to me.

They look fast.

They look like they have scoring chances all the time.

They defend pretty good as well.

They have star, star players, like elite players on their team that can make a difference.

And those two teams to me look like they got it going on.

No, I think there's coaching that goes on with what you're talking about.

You know, everybody needs a message and a direction and a plan out on the ice.

I do think that you don't want to curb the creativity.
