You know, the goalie scored, I guess it was in Colorado, and he drags it into his feet and just rifles it over the goalie, over Miner's shoulder.

Like, there's not ten guys in the league that can do that.

There's not five guys that can do that.

And so, to me, it all circulates around him.

I mean, there's lots of reasons.

There's never one thing.

But, man, he changes the complexion of everything.

It's funny.

It's different because he doesn't play 24 minutes a night.

He doesn't kill penalties like he was killing penalties in Toronto.

Cassidy coaches a different game.

It's more like a top six, bottom six thing.

Their bottom six guys kill penalties and the top end guys get out at the tail end of the penalty kill.

He loses a little bit of the flow there.

I do think...

He doesn't look as bold with the puck for certainly early in the year, but all of that is, I think, probably tied to change.

Like, oh, I'm trying to think, because, Noodles, you would be different as a goalie, but, like, you were always in the East, right-o?

Like, you never got out West, right?

So when I went conference to conference, I'm like, my God, the games are totally different.

Like, it was just, you know, they're different teams.
