Ryan Whitney

Like even like the way that he's tooken pod closing under his wing Leon and like,

Now sometimes Pod Kolzing's going to his spot where he scores off to the side near the goal line.

So I just think it's remarkable the way that these high-end guys are able to elevate their teammates.

And another thing I saw too, and I don't think this was AI-generated, but maybe I'm getting spoofed here, but obviously a tough situation between Stuart Skinner and the way that he was handled

leaving town like that's not that's probably not enjoyable he's from there uh jari who's also from there gets to go back so they do the goalie swap and that's probably the the main topic of conversation going into that game that was on tnt the other night uh but after the game just the way that uh mcdavid and leon like embraced them and and they love them you could tell yeah and you know it's just like obviously he's had to war together

And you talked about, you know, you talked about how, um, you know, when they get a save percentage above 900, how successful they are and maybe how, you know, he had, has he's had, has his struggles or had, has, has had, has had English too.

You're fucking rubbing off on me, witty.

Uh, it was just cool to see that and that the love is not lost and there'll be brothers for life.

It just, you know, sometimes business is business.

So thought Jari looked good.

And, um, you know, that was just a peppering by Edmonton on, on, uh, on Pittsburgh.

That's kind of one of my issues.

Sometimes you see Matthews up in the 21-22 range where I'm like, bump that down.

And the same goes the other way.

I know Philip Deneau has now requested a trade out of LA where you notice sometimes the game sheet, he's in that 15.5-16 range where...

sometimes that extra minute and a half, two minutes, and that ice time you're not getting from your coach is irritating because that's you getting in your rhythm a little bit more time in between shifts to not get in that offensive rhythm.

So I'm telling you that the ice time thing is a very fickle conversation about how much you should get or shouldn't be given.

And I agree with you.

I think that Edmonton, especially how heavy they lean on them as the playoffs go on, the more you can conserve their energy now, the better.

And if you have a well-built team, they shouldn't be playing 21, 22 minutes.
