Just, just curious to know with the experience you had last year, um, is there anything you, you, you took from, from this experience that, that you brought in your preparation, that you change in your preparation to make sure you're ready to, to be the guy from the get-go in the, um, next season?
21:59
No, I'm, I'm excited.
22:00
You know, I will keep my routine or everything I do the same.
22:04
I'm not going to change what I do.

58:57
And this year was kind of the same thing, um, I needed to make the team, and every game I played in a regular season was kind of like I need to win these games.
59:07
I need to play good to stay on the team and possibly, you know, um, be the number one goalie.
59:15
So it's just every game that I play in the NHL, I take a lot of pride into it, and I try my best to, to win those games and be the best version to survive in this league and establish myself as, um, as an NHL goalie.
59:31
So it's, every game that I played this year, I felt like I said it on the ice, I was fighting for my life.
60:16
I'm more established"?
