Kyle, when you look at-

Kyle, speed has been talked about a lot in this training camp.

It's something that your coach wants to implement in multiple ways.

What did you think of that area? Yeah, I mean, so much of the game is, you know, played, um, without the puck, making reads and, and using your feet, uh, to close.

And obviously when you do have the puck, um, you know, using your skill set.

But, um, you know, if we're able to check with the ton of speed, just move the puck forward, put it, put it behind the D and, you know, play more straight line speed, it's just, it's way tougher to, to defend and, um, you know, it results in a lot more zone time.

Um, just, it's, it's tough, um, you know, playing against teams that are, that play that way.

Speaking of that identity-

What is him leaving or potentially leaving due to that belief in this team's

ability? Yeah, kind of like I just said, I believe in this team.

So I think we're a really good hockey team.

And, you know, I think the pieces that we have and, you know, the structure we built over the years and, yeah, taking a step back last year, you know, wasn't ideal.

But, you know, I think we've given ourselves a lot of chances and, in playoff runs and the testament to this group over the years of the kind of character we have in that room.

And, you know, to just kind of say it's broken after one year is kind of silly in my opinion.

And I think there's still, you know, great hockey players in there.

wasn't going to be at Cabot?

I need to know yours.

[laughs] Um, yeah.

Um, let me think about that.

We do a lot of bass fishing in Michigan.

Um, and then, you know, once we're in Winnipeg, um, ice fishing is, is the thing to do up there in the winter.

Um, so yeah, we'll get out with a lot of the guys.

And, and, uh, schedule is pretty crazy this year.

... to do a playoff bracket, who are the, your two teams in the finals?
