Just the...

Resilience, confidence.

And I saw the article you wrote the other day and the professor from Cornell talking about how you build culture and that kind of thing.

And I think that is what we have going on here is that you have a group of guys that are playing for each other.

You see it every day.

They're excited.

In the world of professional sports, we're in a team sport, but there always is the risk of individualism coming in because it's a career, and the success of one may cost you ice time and ultimately your ability to earn over your career.

So there's a delicate balance, I find, in pro team sports, and right now that's probably the most impressive thing I see from our group.

So it's a group of young players, mostly, primarily, who are growing together, who are enjoying playing with each other, spending time with each other, and working towards something, improving each other.

And I think that was...

partly by design.

And as, as Kent Hughes said, it's, that's the way you build culture.

That's, that's, that allows you to go through some difficult times and still be, you talked about resilience, maintaining confidence.

And those are the things that have stood out to him so far this season.

What concerns me the most?

Figuring out how to put it all together, but it's more from kind of a management perspective, right?

We get excited to see young talent coming in, but ultimately we have to build a hockey team.

It's not so much a concern as it is a concern

okay, how are we going to do this?

Before it was easy, right?
