I mean, the three of us, along with some other real great team, I mean, we bled together in this arena trying to win a Stanley Cup, and here we are years again willing to do it again.
No, and I think somebody had a question about, like, is it softness?
No, it's the environment.
There's so much intent to the environment that I'll create in the sense of the professionalism, the having a plan to every day.
And this isn't just players.
This is all of us.
I mean, all of us fall into this.
It's so much on focus of the process, the practice.
I always say,
I put so much value on how you walk into the facility at 8 a.m.
as opposed to 7 o'clock at puck drop.
Those are two complete different things, but that falls into, again, that professionalism and how you're approaching the day.
When I say quality teammate, people don't tend to go, okay, what, you just be a bunch of nice guys?
It's actually the opposite.
It's the responsibility to...
uh, to compete and to push each other.
Like we have to, to be a winning team, you have to win practice and that's hard.
Uh, and it's, it's competitive, but, and again, I, I come back to room awareness and, uh, being cognizant of your teammates of how are they doing?
How are they off the ice?
What's their emotion?
