But they just started battling back.

They started chipping away.

And there is a momentum in games that they're able to shift, and specifically that second line.

So that's one thing.

The other thing is, Freddie Anderson looks like a competent playoff goaltender.

In his time with the Toronto Maple Leafs, he wasn't that.

And that was partly due to the team as well.

That was a flawed team.

But now if you look at him, the style that they play, it certainly is helping him.

And he's making some big saves, going back to that last series, of course.

So I think they are different this year.

But if they do play a Montreal and Buffalo, if they end up taking care of this round, it's going to be a step up, right?

Because both of those teams are strong offensively.

They do pose some problems.

And the way Buffalo plays right now, just from...

their top line down to their, you know, essentially their 13th forward or their last pair, you know, bottom pair defensively, like they look, they are very difficult out right now.

And they've got young players and veterans feeling it.

So I think the next round will be more difficult than this one for Carolina.

But Jamie, to me, from a mentality perspective, they seem like they're a lot more comfortable in the playoffs.

Long way to go.
