On Fred tonight. I know it's a sigh of relief when they come back, but it's a bigger thing too when you Yeah, I mean, I think he was probably the first one year though. I don't know, you know, it looked like maybe there was going to be some rust there, but then he, he made those two saves, I think on, uh Suzuki there. And the was it the third? Maybe it was the third, I can't remember. But that, that was huge because, you know, the, the game right there could have switched and then, I mean, he made countless like good ones when we needed it. That's really the key on the, on his night. We've talked a lot about what it's like in these days and obviously take a guy out of the lineup tonight and it looks like he's headed elsewhere. Uh Can you speak to, you know, and yeah, I can't really say much because I it happened like right before the game and all of a sudden they say, hey, they came down and said we might have to hold him out and obviously we did. So, other than that, I don't know any, I have no other information to tell you from a player's perspective, how tough can it be to be in a situation where you don't really know if this could be your last home game, this last game with your teammates. It's tough for everybody in the league. Right. Everybody going is going through at this time of year. Obviously, some teams there's more buzz around it. Um But again, that's everybody's understands, that's part of the business. No, I think, I think we were a little sluggish to start more of just the five days off and we gave him a couple of days, you could just tell it was gonna take a little time for us to get our legs. And I thought not only our legs just up to speed at the pace, we were just a little off and then, you know, not terrible, but just not quite doing it consistently. Right. And then I thought we played a little better as the game went on. Is there anything? Well, he's a great, he's a good player. I mean, and, and number one, he's been a good skater. So, um, but he's got a good, we've seen it in the last few years here. He's got a good touch around the net and, you know, he can shoot, I mean, he's just a real good player and I think our system fits well for him, but he definitely, I mean, he, he's definitely been uh you know, a special player for us to get out. Yeah, it's funny you mentioned that. Um, yeah, I mean, it's not like we've had a ton of success uh this year with that. So you may see that happen, see the connection of uh varying na a lot this year because what he said, yeah, I think they enjoy playing with each other that, you know, because they've had that chemistry in the past and, you know, they're both very similar type mindset of players, kind of just grind it out and, you know, work, work, work. And I think that, uh, it obviously, you know, they do have good connection player aspect of pretty, the, the human aspect to see a guy. You might not even consider him coming back this season. Yeah, that's probably the bigger story really is, is for him. Just, I mean, I'm sure he had, well, I know he had a lot of doubts about just never even lacing him up again. You know, they just kind of knock that one out and feel good about whether he won or lost, just getting back out there doing something that obviously loves to do. And so that was probably the, the biggest takeaway. Thank you.
