And now they're here.
So the quiet confidence, I agree.
the team it's as high as it's ever been I mean is the pressure high no doubt but that's that's what guys want I think that's what makes this game so fun is having pressure at at the fingertips almost and seeing the way McDavid approaches this and those two guys him and Leon like their numbers in the playoffs I mean they're behind Gretzky and Lemieux in point per game like that is crazy they're the best I've ever seen and then they get better in the playoffs that's not common for a
I just, I think now the goaltending, no doubt.
I'm not going to sit here and say there aren't questions, but I believe in Ingram and I believe that it could end up being more people than one in there as we've seen the last two years.
But it's just the excitement level finally starting again because it's 82 games.
It's exhausting.
And now they're here and it's like, all right, finally, like, let's try to do this thing again.
I see the ability to outweigh opponents and the poise and the little shoulder and head shakes.
And that's not even mentioning the cannon he has.
And I don't I it drives me insane.
And I try not to argue on Twitter, but he plays with David and Leon.
Of course, he gets a lot of points.
It's like that's not a valid argument to me because there's been plenty of people.
not produce the way he can and when you have the ability to back off every PK guy because you're shot and then fake a shot and slide a slap shot pass for a tap into a guy like not many people can do that and there are the occasional brain farts and the occasional turnovers but that's the puck the whole game and when you're trying to make plays and I think that's what Paul
and that the entire staff wants.
There's going to be times there's mistakes, but then there's going to be times that he keeps the puck in when Quinton Byfield tries to get the puck out and the season stays alive against LA last year.
And there's going to be game-winning goals and there's going to be so many chances created off of just the perfect breakout pass.
to mcdavid or leon in stride and then all of a sudden you got a two on one you get a three on two so it's the little things he does and if you watch the occasional blooper of evan bouchard and then you see the points on the power play oh he plays with leon he plays with connor big deal it's like no if you watch every game like you do you see subtleness that is just genius with the puck and it's not easy to do and he is just such a great defenseman i agree with you three superstars i'll go with that yeah
I love it.
