You know, I think a lot – it's playoffs, and everybody kind of gets that way.

everybody's building is probably pretty good.

I've been in Vegas, and Vegas can be really loud, really crazy.

There's just great building.

I think it's just the playoff hockey that brings it out, you know, and out of the fans and out of the players.

And they see the product on the ice, and then they react to what they're seeing.

And usually their reactions are warranted.

The game on the ice is so good, especially in the playoffs, that –

It just makes it really, really easy for the fans to become super involved in the game and to really shake that building.

Yeah, so the biggest one for me is probably in the finals in Carolina.

And we had lost in game five at home.

And we got a power play with one second left in the third period.

And so we were going to get a minute 59 on fresh ice in our building.

You know, they they showed on the TV, the TV might have been a TV on the locker room and the guy was polishing the cup up and he was getting it ready and the power play goal.

And I remember that they scored a shorty about 30 seconds into the period and we had to go back to Edmonton.

You know, we were up, I think, 3-1 in the series.

So that made it 3-2.

So we had to go to Edmonton for game six.

And I'm telling you that we got destroyed.

I mean destroyed.
