Your thoughts on the, it's going to be good. I mean, they're a fast, hard working team, but I think regardless of who we were going to play, we have to make sure, especially now we have to make sure we stay true to our game. And what makes us successful did you watch last night? Were you kind of thinking about how the matchup was going to go as you were? I wasn't necessarily thinking about that game seven is always fun to watch. And so I watched a little bit of it, but I wasn't necessarily thinking too much about it really good. I think if we just, like I said, if we stay true to ourselves and what's made us successful all year and how we play the game, I think it's, it's going to go well for us, but we have to make sure we stay dialed in with that rest is always important. Rest is always important. I mean, any time during this point of the season when you can get the rest, you take it, but we do have to make sure that we come ready to go tomorrow. I mean, they're coming off a big game seven win with a lot of energy and a lot of momentum. And so we got to make sure that we're ready to match that be just as good as we were in the first round. Does it mean anything that you guys are very familiar with? I mean, yeah, maybe a little bit, I mean, Islanders were a divisional opponent too. And so, yeah, you play these guys a lot throughout the year, you know, some of their tendencies, some of their key players and what they're good at what they like to do. And so from that aspect, yeah, it's nice for that familiarity. But at the end of the day it's about us, the announcers thought this would be a fast paced series. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, they're a fast team. We got a lot of speed as well. So it will be a lot of pace to, it will be a war. You're on the ice. How much do you hear some of that stuff whenever someone gets the pocket and the fans are going nuts every time? Yeah, I mean, it happens. I mean, I feel like that's in any arena that's going to happen. I mean, cans are loyal, they're loud and so I'm sure they'll be letting anybody know with any time there's a play. But, yeah, no, our fans are great and it's always fun playing here. Why?
