As good as he was in this postseason?

So, to me, Carolina's like the ultimate zero goalie team.

The ultimate...

doesn't matter for him because I mean he got rocked three times again last night yeah but he's still made no but but he still made plays yeah I mean he broke the game with that sequence in the offensive zone where he won how many battles consecutively three four yeah like he was just a buzz sawing all over the ice and then set up Blake for the 2-0 goal like he broke that game open

Yes.

The other part of this is they didn't buy the deadline.

The only deadline addition they made was Nick DeLaurier.

Well, and it's just like the, you know, how much cap space did they have, right?

And it's like they had Isperi Kokuniemi, a $4.82 million, like, double birds to Montreal just in their lineup.

Like, it's not even a contract that, like, makes sense with their usual process of evaluation.

It was very clearly just retribution, right?

So one thing about Carolina is that they.

So they went for it with Gensel.

And then they went for it with Rantanen and then decided to prioritize the long term.

But for the most part, this is a team that does not carry itself as if windows close.

They are the ultimate window extender.

They will allow every old unrestricted free agent.

Like the one rule it seems to be is don't get committed to an inefficient contract no matter what.

And let's get younger.

Let's pay to get younger constantly.
