I think they're more surprised by what they perceive as maybe a little bit of softness.

but he's not playing soft right now.

He's actually competing, and he's making good reads without the puck.

That play tonight, that's what an elite... Brett Hull used to do that all the time.

Cam Neely used to do that all the time.

Top goal scorers.

Kevin Stevens did that a lot when we had him with Mario.

They understand how to create separation in the zone, and because of that, they get open more, and it makes a big difference.

I think he's showing a lot of hockey sense, and I think he's showing a lot more grit.

I don't think anybody was, with all due respect, I don't think anybody's surprised by his hands.

That's his calling card.

Yeah.

What I'm trying to tell you, they played a hell of a game.

Right now it does, for sure.

I think if they ever got a top-end, second-line center, and Jake is, let's say, playing in the three-hole, this team is going to go, they're going to be elite.

I don't know how Marty does it with his room, but we used to do it in our room all the time.

You know, Chris played for a coach, Mike Milbury, who said a lot of stuff that was derogatory about our team.

And we put it up in our room and we kind of beat them up pretty good two years in a row.

And it was definitely part of what we did.

So the answer is yeah.
