What did you see from those guys?

Yeah, it's amazing how it was not a position of strength last year, and now it might be one of their deeper position groups.

And, you know, you mentioned those guys, but the two guys that I look at, one thing that really bothered me last year about the team is that the Buccaneers had to go out and bring in Jason Pierre-Paul.

For what? Because they needed juice.

For a veteran-laden team, one thing I don't want to hear is juice.

You don't have energy? That's not something you want to hear.

You're professional athletes.

Do you think that was also an attitude thing more than just a schematic thing?

Nope.

Everything is j- everything's just on the power play.

Like, Caufield was able to get on the board tonight, but still no points for Slafkovsky, and, and that's the big thing, is you gotta be able to score five on five.

And, you know, this is the first game out of the entire year, right, going back to the regular season, where the team that scored the first goal didn't win.

And all this talk about how quiet Benchmark International Arena is, and how everything's so raucous, and they have some old timer, some dusty dude that they wipe the cobwebs off of carrying an Olympic style torch into the freaking arena like he's some kind of Olympian from the '70s.

And, and yeah, what a great home ice advantage, guys.

You were up two-nothing with a minute to go in the second period, with a 2-1 series lead, and you blew it.

Not bad.
