All right. We'll take questions for Freddie. Just please raise your hand first. Huh? Hey, what do you say? Go ahead. Cory. Thank you Freddie. These, these tight games that have a little bit of a, of a playoff atmosphere. Do you think it's important to have games like this where uh you know, it's it's close, low scoring and the team can kind of come together and find ways to win games. Um I don't really think about that too much. I think we try just to play play our game and um not really think about what the score is too much. Obviously we gotta, if we're down or we're tired, we want to try to get the next one. But I think as a whole, we try to play play that style, that style hockey all the time and just kind of um, yeah, let let the game play out as it goes. And usually when we play our best, it usually goes in our favor. And um, I think most teams will say that, but like the last couple of games it has okay already coming to a new team, new franchise. You know, you did not always sure what to expect, but it seems like things have gone about as well for you as they could have in the first half of the season. How would you sort of assess you're this first half for you and and for the team. I'm not really here to assess anything at this point. I think we're just trying to do our best every day. Um, I think that culture has, has been incredible here and something I think has been been fun to be a part of so far. I think, uh, like I said, we just want to keep doing that every day and uh, and see where it leaves us. What, how do you just mention the culture there? How, what have you learned about the culture of this team through the first half of the season? And how do you describe it to maybe some folks when they ask you what it's like here. I think we're just dedicated to doing what it takes and um, I mean there will be pretty plays out there, but I think we don't go out there too to look for and we do it. I mean the way that's, we try to be the most successful at it. And I think, I think that's when we're at our best when we, we stick to that game plan. I think, yeah, we will see a lot of local fun goals and, but I think our mindset is just the defense first kind of thing. Sarah, are you excited for Vegas? Yeah, it should be a fun week. Um, obviously got a few days before then. Yeah, it should be, uh, should be a good time. Um, you know, the weather a little bit warmer than it is here. So be able to to swing swing the clubs a little bit and um, yeah, get away from it all brian Freddie, you just mentioned that this team is going to keep its uh focused forward even with the, even midway through the season, it's fair to say this girl's team is Stanley cup, that's the goal. Yeah, I mean that's everyone school. I think we can do that today. So I think we're sticking to that game plan trying to be be the best we can every day. And like I said, that's the path. So alright, thanks Freddy.
