You know, they cycle.

They had the out-cycle chance to Carolina 16-6.

That is where that one-on-one or man-to-man coverage is really struggling to contain those big bodies and powerful bodies.

And it's funny because Carolina...

They're so fit that they can kind of get away with being Seth Jarvis and Logan Stankoven and Jackson Blake.

They're small, but they're well-built and they're powerful in their own way.

But it's just the size edge looks to be... Well, they've got a couple smaller defensemen.

I will find out what their careers are, whether they're investment brokers, because it is really impressive.

And he was around it in the Montreal series.

He only got eight points, right, where he had 15 last year.

And that's a clear problem for Rod Brindamore.

If he can't get Svechnikov, and when they do their fitness testing here in Carolina, Svechnikov always wins at ease.

It's not a matter of he can't handle playing.

They've only played 14 games, for heaven's sakes, over 50-odd days.

So they're not tired.

They did have, again, a little bit of a gap between the last series and the start of this one.

Maybe that accounts for it.

But why that line's not clicking, I can't tell you.

Ehlers?

as you said, has made the Martin Jordan stall line, the third line tremendous.
