Got the fuck to the back door a few times. That was, you saw a lot of their best skaters tonight. Yeah, that's, that's a really skillful team and, you know, obviously played already one time against them this year. So kind of knew what's going, what's going to happen today. But yeah, they're really good in closing in front of the net and, you know, they're making those crucial passes when you already think that they're going to shoot. So it's always, it's always a tough test, but, you know, a couple of goals from those, but at least we managed to get the third one and got the two points. They bounced around quite a bit too, had a couple of collisions there. The one where I think Greg falls on you, another one where a guy ends up in the crease. So is that you just have to kind of back out of your mind. They're harder than that. Yeah, I think as the season kind of starts to get to that last 10 games in the regular season, that's kind of how the games are and, you know, they, they were playing really well. So you know that, that is what is going to happen when there's a lot of bucks in the net and, you know, they, they were coming, coming hard and, you know, that's how it's going to be throughout the, throughout these last five games. And obviously when the playoffs are, it's going to get even harder. So you just have to, or you just try to manage how you are there and try not to get under under anyone. So, but obviously the biggest thing is to make the safe and then worry about the rest after that game was coming down to the final seconds in overtime where you starting to mentally prepare for a shoot out when they got the, I've seen that a couple of times this year when gets the puck and good things happen. So obviously, I was, I was hoping that he would score and then, you know, when, when you, when you saw that went in, you know, obviously kind of relief, you know, you never know what happens in the, in the shoot out. So, you know, you take the two points and run out from the ice and, you know, celebrate it and, you know, start focusing on the, on Thursday. How much do you enjoy the back and forth of you and Freddie pushing each other? Yeah, it's nice, you know, obviously I missed a little time there and, you know, got the game on Saturday and then straight away today. So it was, it was obviously nice to get, get straight back to the back to the R and, you know, really haven't practiced that much. So, you know, just go out in the game and, you know, work your way into the game. And obviously today was a little bit more, more shots and more action than Saturday. So, you know, obviously good thing to get a win and, you know, obviously help the team to get that two points and, you know, that's the main goal for the rest of the way. Are you aware that 17 games now that you have a point streak where you've either gone to overtime and won? Are you aware that it's just been, you haven't lost in regulation since November? Yeah, I kind of know that, but, you know, obviously I don't really try not to think about it, especially when there's like two minutes left in the third period and it's a tie game. So you don't really want to want to think about it. That's Walt's job to post that on the Twitter, what's going on. But, you know, obviously you, you, that's the main goal to help the team. And, you know, I've been lucky enough a couple of games where I felt like I didn't play that well, but the guys pulled me through and got those two points or got us through the O T. So, you know, it's just, you go out there and obviously you have confidence from the last game. So you just try to do your job and get the two points. That's the only thing you do. Ok.
