So to the point that you're talking about, it makes me think... We talked a little bit about the St.

Louis Blues back in the day with Al McInnes and Chris Pronger and how much those two used to play.

And I guess you could get to Chicago and players like Duncan Keith and Seabrook.

Like, there should...

It shouldn't be possible.

It shouldn't be possible for the hardest time of the year, defenders to go out and play that often and kind of take the wear and tear.

But what I see late in the third period with the Minnesota Wild, when I see Quinn Hughes and Brock Faber out there as two guys who usually when they get a hold of the puck, it's hard to get it off them and they control the play and they give their team the very best chance.

I had a conversation with John Hines earlier in the year and I asked him what,

how Quinn Hughes fundamentally changed who the Minnesota Wild were and he'd said the pace of this team just went up like everything just got faster when he got there and he said no one had benefited from that more than Brock Faber because you know some players things get faster and their game elevates and that seems to have happened in that situation there but it stands to reason then that that happens when Quinn Hughes is on the ice and I do really believe that if you take a look at

What the Minnesota Wild are when Quinn Hughes is on the ice and when he's not, it's just a slower version when he's not on the ice.

So they're trying to play at a pace to kind of generate offense and score.

And I think you just get a little bit addicted to that pace if you're the coach, right?

Oh, things were fast.

Let's get them back out there.

Keep things going fast.

So, I mean...

You know, you kind of live and die by your stars.

They're down three to one in this series.

I don't think we're going to see him playing any less coming up in game five.

Well, they'd had their flow.
