Are you guys content with sawing off with their top guys and then leaving it to the depth of your team to say, KK, handle the rest of it?

I'm actually curious to hear your perspective on this because Rod actually said something.

They asked him if he was having fun or whatever, and he was like, no.

You know, like, it's too stressful.

This is not fun now.

Enjoy it later sort of thing.

But you were in those moments so often on so many good playoff teams.

I'm imagining you got more comfortable within them and found ways to enjoy it.

But I could be wrong.

Did you enjoy them as you got on in your career?

Or was it always just, I'll enjoy this later?

18 years later than when he won his first one you know it goes by quick yeah what a career um justin last one for me just the idea or the value of home ice at this point because you see other teams try to replicate being on the road people love being on the road right now right it's always stay in a hotel at home something about that road environment does it take pressure off or is do you believe that the home ice is still an advantage as you get to these big games

Have a good one.

You too.

If he wins this one, he looks great.

Feels like he can still get made strong out there.

Yeah, he's just smart.

1,400 and some games, 179 playoff games, five goals in the cup final.

If you have, like, a pretty bad to mediocre round of golf, but if you birdie a couple holes coming in, all of a sudden you look at your card and you go, pretty good day.

I kind of feel like that about Stahl's career.
