You know, it doesn't matter if they lose.

He stays the exact same, like even keel guy that he would be if they won.

So there's there's not a lot of highs and lows.

It's kind of just, you know, he builds confidence in them.

And I think that that is so much, especially when you talk about these young guys that are coming in.

These guys have had to step up for Victor Headman and Ryan McDonough.

Those guys are they have a lot of confidence.

They know what to expect.

The culture is already set.

And like all of that goes back to John Cooper.

All of it.

They haven't really lost a step since they lost him.

But Stephen Stamkos and that drama that happened before he went to Nashville.

Talk about the time that happened and what exactly was the disconnect there?

Yeah, it's crazy because it's been a minute since Stamkos has played for the Lightning.

I think that, it's hard to say now, I think in a couple of years, everyone will be able to look back and have answers on that.

When you talk about and you I don't know if you'll see this with the Panthers, but you go to three Stanley Cup finals and then there was a flat cap.

Right.

And so there was a lot that had to happen.
