I just expressed it as adversity.
Off the podcast, I told you I was quite worried about
an injury, a significant injury to one of the main players.
And I kept coming back to Nick Suzuki and said, if that happened, they won't make the playoffs.
If they have a healthy season, they will.
But I was worried about an injury-riddled season to an important player and that they wouldn't.
They haven't had, well, the injuries have come to the players, the kind of B or C players, and haven't really had that much of an impact on them.
So I'm pleased to be wrong in that respect, that they will make the playoffs.
That's right.
And that's correct.
His name is Oliver Kapanen.
And he was one of the biggest surprises for the Canadians this season as the second line center.
He took it.
He ran with it.
He is the second line center.
Yeah.
I'm mostly right there.
Now you now you I'll give credit to you.
You had you had a very good surprise.
And listen, was Slavkovsky better with Kapanen and Demidov?
