And if you have any questions, even after you consider that, we turn to Marty St.

Louis, who today said, quote, Phil will play a defensive role for us.

That couldn't be more plainer than that.

How exactly?

Marty's asking himself the question.

I don't know yet, but I expect him to play a defensive role in case you didn't get the first time and bring leadership.

And penalty kill is an area where, we've said it before, the Canadians really struggle.

They're about 25th in the NHL in the penalty kill department.

And they need to be a good penalty killing team because they take a lot of minor penalties.

I believe they're second to the Bruins in terms of teams who take the most minor penalties.

And...

And it's an area that Marty St.

Louis, you know, the discipline aspect, he could change that statistic immediately, but he doesn't seem to want to.

The number of penalties taken by the Canadians has only increased since Marty St.

Louis has been behind the bench.

And...

We've heard that the Laval Rocket play the same way, the same style, trying to have the same identity as the Canadians.

And if you want an idea of what Marty St.

Louis thinks about penalties, maybe Pascal Vincent...

has the answer to what Marty thinks.
