Yeah, Carolina hasn't – they play a very specific style.
They're an outlier with how they play.
They're relentless.
They man-to-man pressure.
All up and down the ice.
And if you can't counterpunch, you're going to be in trouble.
And the teams that they played so far, Simon's Flyers for sure.
Ottawa was just so banged up.
And Montreal, they're just not built to absorb that pressure.
Kind of weather a storm and then spring counters the other way.
Whereas Vegas, that's one of their strengths.
Like with Marner, Jack Eichel.
even their, their defense is really mobile and they can, they make great breakout passes.
Rasmus Anderson, Noah Hannafin, Shea Theodore, like these guys will join the rush to create on-man rushes.
And that's how you beat Carolina.
Every year we see it with Rod Brendamore teams.
They get to the, to the Eastern conference final, and then they run into a team that can beat them on the counter.
They've done it against the Rangers.
They've done it against the Panthers.
And I think Vegas is built to do that.
