It's one player play -- about it. Yes and things Philly police presence and with Montreal Montreal. Was a big surprise and and they put great throughout the Clausen and generally came up short just would feel it it. How closely do you follow in the games which you both got knocked out. What is tough even to pick up a little control for me the only game I watched was the last game. Wanted to see someone host the Stanley Cup and get a little motivated for not sharing and see what that it was like and you know the freedom to motivate. I have thought saw hockey fans -- marquee. You know I wasn't ready for my season and united enjoyed watch and I didn't. Didn't really make huge points that don't watch every game but issues. Goes on house homeland that I intensity on -- Okay let's talk about your team's what are -- you think speaking hasty to prove logs you can be hold my cup next year we gotta be tracked him.

Unless you wanna look ahead to next year or the year after it's so you still very much in the moment. In all those. It was an okay -- -- us we've we definitely had bigger hopes and and venture -- -- You know I think we we just need to play better as a group from in. Know myself included we only -- veterans who we have our core intact I believe in the group that we have I believe in the group that we. We have -- can win a Stanley Cup for further Vancouver fans and and for us so. Who I don't believe we've got to do too much it's it's you know fun and great pieces and you know just letting you know the leaders lead. Okay let's take our fans inside the game what's it like you got the puck. Jack stand there on the Blue Line you're trying to get. He's he's it's tough defenseman. You know -- He's a fast guy that. You know. Is dangerous when he has the puck. He's even dangerous when he you know doesn't have he's he's a great defenseman and -- and he's a great power play and know all -- all the guys in the room we're looking towards me for advice on you know how to how to shut him down so he's a tough player to play against. Jack really get a body on Bryant throughout the playoffs. And not match tries to. Now it's diseases eager players proved that.

Complete pain in the play against and to compliment and not -- -- that at that. Glad AF. For -- -- for two weeks in February yes let's go back to the Olympic experience.

He he he -- -- entire 82 games plus you know however long to actually get to the Stanley Cup and he goes through thick and then with but the -- entertainment and winning a gold medals just completely different. You're playing with a bunch of guys you probably playing with for the first time in awhile. And your plan for your country and and it means a lot to everybody on the team and and it's really it's that comes down to who plays for the best for two weeks and and you know that there -- getting better I mean I I really can't say one's better than the other. I definitely the when both one time and maker but that it'll it's it's just tough to compare. -- I think. Although only -- and held off long say I'd I would rather. If I can only when no one else then I wanna well typical -- If you get put. I did do you fully expects few when both taking away from from one. Semi conscious.
