10 minutes could, can draw up better than you, kind of. Yeah, I mean, obviously I thought we came out, well, um, nice to get the Power play Law right away. Like it kind of, I guess it was nice to get ahead. Obviously play things very, very important. Feel good about your, about your goalie choice. Why you play, you play great. I mean, so the other guy, I mean, it's crazy. I mean, he made some saves or could have put the game away for us. The rant held us in too at times, especially when there's two in the third right away. So could, I mean, the game pretty much when I, we, you know, thought it would, they made great saves. We had good save and we both seem to, we are just confidence on the, that's what it is. Well, that's a lot of it for sure. Um, a lot of other things that he's leaving out. But, uh, you know, execution, right? I mean, the first one, we had a good execution. I mean, we've been doing that all year but it's the first time it hits. Right. But it's just, you know, the passes are great to draw things just kind of worked out. They did the exact same play, the very next fire play for theirs and almost did. So. We got the, we were fortunate today to give some value in playing half that game at 21 and defending it that way because the playoffs tend to be that situation for a lot. Well, you mean, just to get used to it, that's how it's gonna be. We know that it's gonna be always tight throwing games, uh, you know, mistake here or there is probably gonna be the difference. Um, like, so is it, is it valuable, I guess if you win it is that's for sure. That's what we've seen all year. So, and he, he's a player and, uh, you know, you could see it out there. He could have a few goals, very, very impactful for sure sense. He's excited about, uh, he looks like that every game. I, I'll be honest, I don't, I didn't see much difference in, in his approach and how he plays it. Yeah. Well, yeah, yeah, we don't comment on that but, um, you know, it's, uh, ok, best care is always go on. He made a couple of real good saves but the, the guys in their blocks, so they did what they had to do, you know, they had Marzel to that. It's a, it's a pretty dynamic power play. They got cooking there. So, you know, we did a good job. Is that a, a nice, uh, uh, is that a nice reward for Steph Nason to, uh, you know, get a goal in his first playoff game. And I, I think we're five years out since he's played in the playoffs. I didn't know that you guys help me out with that stuff. Uh, yeah, I mean, you know, it's right where he does his job and he's very, very good at tipping pucks and around that five ft area. So, yeah. Yeah, he was a good player. All right, thanks Rob. We got one. Yeah.
