Yeah, it wasn't, uh, but the funny story that, like that happened with about two or three minutes left and he got me good and I had stitches.

So I was in there and I was on the medical table and

And not even two or three minutes later, another player comes in and is Jay Miller.

So he's the older vet on our team and a tough guy.

He saw their, their guy take a run at me.

So very next face off, he went out and did the same thing, but you just learn that your teammates will be there for you.

Like throughout their whole career.

That's what these guys are for.

Yeah.

I thought this was what everybody in the NHL was doing, right?
