in the same spot, Sequence of wins and losses after as the 1st 1. Anything you take away from this sequence of two losses that whether it's just tidying things up or changes you want to make or mm hmm. Not not, I don't know, I guess, I don't think who other than it's playing out the same way. I don't really, there's not a lot of you can look back on and go, this is, you know, something that's carrying over or whatever. I think it's two good teams going at it tight and where to, to can the road thing not waiting on the road, get in your head that players. I mean, you did it for a long time. Can that get in your head a little bit that maybe we're not as effective as we are at home. No. Is there anything you have to say to guys to sort of make sure that they're good with that? I mean, you guys are so good on the road in the regular season. It's games are all tight, they're all closed. You know, bounce here or there. We just didn't get him on the road, you know, So I'm, I don't see any, I actually think we played pretty well on the road in actuality. So it's just obviously we've got to find a way to get a win and um, it's not a road game the next one. So I'm not worrying about the road right now last night, you feel like a series last year's Tampa series, is there anything that you can take from a coaching perspective that could have done differently then and still now? It's, I mean, yes and no, I mean we're trying, you're definitely putting in things and you know, it's all about limiting their chances and their opportunities first and foremost, because if you're, if you're not able to score you, you know, you gotta make sure they're not getting any, so that's always your first objective and then um no, we have areas we've got to get better at, I mean that's that's the day we want to score on our power play, just like they are and there's and that's that makes a big difference if we can, you know, connect on that. We in the last two games we did hit two posts on our power play, like we're there, it's just they got to go in, you know, they go in a different change, changes the dynamic of the game. Are you seeing the players frustrated, everybody's frustrated, they want to win and they're playing hard, it's not like effort. Um but we've got to execute a little better on that in those situations and then uh we had some chances last night, we gotta, we gotta bear down. I mean this goal has made some nice saves, he was a great goal. Um no different than Tampa's goal is a great goalie, like you got, you don't get, you get a look, you gotta you gotta bury it for sure. Does that make the situation different from the boston series is the fact that there is world class both of them. I mean that's part of what makes them good. I mean, they know that that's part of their strength and they play to it. I mean that's what you do. So, um, you know, there's not much else you can do on that front. You know, everyone is trying to do the same things, get pucks in their goodbyes and get traffic all that. I mean everyone's doing that anyway. It's just you just when you get that chance it's you know, you gotta find a way to put in the background that mm hmm forward group martin is getting closer to healthy. Any chance you might make maybe maybe we'll see you tomorrow after skate where everybody is when you went to film since last night. Did anything else jump out at you other than what, you know, we didn't start well, you know, and then no, actually we had a couple of gray days right away and he made that really nice save on past, you know, that was, that was world class save. Um, and then, you know, we took that penalty and then it kinda all of a sudden they got momentum going and They scored on the power play. So that kind of put us behind the eight ball. Um, again was okay after that. It's just like you said, when you get behind on these guys. That's, that's tough. Did you guys come out physically? Okay. Um, yeah. For the most part, taking nothing away from, yeah, he's been great, is already getting close enough that he's going to be a consideration here yet, but that's not a phenomenal. All right. Thanks.
