And obviously Ilya, you know, has been playing unbelievable for us too.

So, yeah, but I think, uh, everybody's just pulling on the rope.

I mean, um, when guys have gone down, you know, palms going down, Romy going down, um, other guys have just stepped up in big ways and, um,

Yeah, no, it's just been overall a really good team effort so far this year.

Yeah, right away.

Yeah, no, I, yeah, you know, he just, he is, he's such a little kid around the rink and around the room and,

but then all of a sudden he gets on the ice and he looks like he's a 30-year-old hockey player, and it's his first year in the league.

Like you said, he just turned 18 before the season started.

You forget sometimes how young he really is, but he's just been such a stud for us, and he's a great kid off the ice as well.

Yeah, I think it does.

It's contagious.

His passion for the game, his love for the game is...

He just wants to win so bad.

Like I said, it's contagious.

It rubs off on guys, and guys kind of want to do the same thing.

It starts with him, and it kind of goes all the way down through our lineup.

He's been great for us, and just his motivation.

Actually, he's super positive, too.

We could be down in a game.

You know, 3-0 going into a third period, and he still believes that we have the team and we have the group in there to come back and win the game.
