I think a little bit of both. I think we probably didn't have to start. We were looking for, um to get to our game for, for a little bit, but, um, we had a ton of energy and emotion. Um, obviously, game one of the playoffs, you get that and got our legs underneath us a little bit and um I thought the third period was really good. We, we definitely got more shots through and um created a few more chances. So, uh we gotta do that from the start next game, Corey Friday. It seemed like you really, um after the first period, really found your game and made a couple really spectacular saves one on one or, or even the one in the third, um diving down. Did you just feel as the game went on? You got better? Yeah, of course. I think you're just, uh you're excited to play and, and obviously you settle into the game a little bit more and yeah, we did a good job obviously of responding to the first grade and, um, you know, got, uh, yeah, I got some more parts said and um, yeah, so score Sean go ahead, Brady, you mentioned trying to find your game. How much did Kui help with that? And what's impressed you the most about him and your time around him? Um, well, he was obviously he's a big time, big game player. Um, he's proven that, um, in playoffs in the past and, um, he was, he was huge for us tonight, obviously getting that goal early was, was huge. And then, um, to answer your next question, I think his skill is probably the thing that stands out the most to me, he's probably one of the most skilled talented players I've ever, I've ever seen or played with. Um, so hopefully you can, uh, keep going and he's been a huge, uh, huge part of our, our team here since he's been here and we're excited to have him. Luke, go ahead, Freddie. What, what did it mean to you to be sort of in there in the net right from the start from the start of game one and kind of pick up the baton at the beginning? I mean, was that, was there a special feeling to that to kind of be in there right at the start and, and starting with the win? Um, I'm just grateful to be, to be part of playoff hockey. I think we have a really special team and everyone's gonna, yeah, it's gonna be part of it and, uh, do their, do their job as best as possible and uh Yeah, like I said, just, it's really exciting to be back out here and uh and battling with the guys, Brady with how well Freddie played all game long and he makes that save on Dobson at the beginning of the third period. And then it seems like the team has their best shift of the game. Just how important is that sequence of events of the team. Yeah, it's huge. I mean, um you don't wanna be a team relying on your goalie, but Freddy has always been there for us and has made the big save when we need it. So, um those plays, you, you look back on in a game and those are huge moments and um you gotta be on the try to be on the right side of it. So, uh obviously we gotta do a little better job of, of helping him out. But, um, he's always been there for us and has made a big save at the right time. Brady. I don't see you practicing the tip drill too often. Is that something you're doing in the garage or something? Something different? No, II, I, uh I don't find myself down there too much looking for a tip and, um, I saw a koozie and I, I had a feeling he was going to shoot it. So I kind of just went, went there through the slot and, um, got a stick on it and it was obviously a big finish by NACE. So, um, but no, I definitely don't, not practicing that. Go ahead, Josh Freddie, you talked about how thankful and grateful you are just to be a part of playoff hockey. Has your perspective over the last year changed because of what's happened since your last playoff start. Yeah, of course. I think we're, we're, we're fortunate to be out here and, and play in this atmosphere and, um, again with the, with the support I've had over there. Yeah, the last few months, uh both of my team and my teammates and uh yeah, and the team are on us. Um Yeah, again, um just can't, can't stress enough how grateful I am to be back and having this. Uh Yeah, having all this fun. Go ahead. Look again on the, the Dobson sequence for the pockets, the post comes back. What did, what did you see there? What, what, what was, what, what's kind of your, what was your vision of that sequence? Uh I think I just got, got clipped with someone's skate. I don't know. Um Just kind of threw out the, the technique and broke out the window and then try to uh try to come up with something, get to get close to the park and Yeah, good. Um Yeah, get something on it. All right. Thanks guys. We'll have right up in just a minute.
