Second goal. This is sort of a pure finish goal, you know, that feel, feel good to, to, to get that, that in, I mean, to get whenever you can figure it gets, it's a good thing. It's, you know, fortunate to score goals in the playoffs. So obviously not enough and we sure got the point. Can you just explain the frustrations of the story we just talk about, I'm feeling like you guys are right there. I mean, we're, we're right there. It's, it's a small margin for error in the playoffs. And, um, you know, we gotta, we gotta buckle down on the power play and, and find a way to get one there. So, um, go home play in front of our fans and move on what's kind of your read on where I was really clicking on the power play right now. I'm not sure. I just think maybe we're a little bit too on the outside and we got to shoot the puck a little bit more. I think that's when we're at our best is when we're getting that front traffic and just shooting and kind of breaking down that way. So hopefully we'll get back to that Sebastian tonight, but you got, your lives obviously has been really good in both games of the series. What, what do you think has been so effective for you guys? And, um, why, why you've been able to sort of generate so many chances? Yeah, just feeling well, just playing well and, um, just trying to do whatever helps to get the team to win, I think, you know, he's such a special player. It's whenever he gets a puck on a stick, you just gotta be ready, you know, he's gonna find you. So, obviously he made an unbelievable play on the second call for me. And, um, yeah, he's just an unbelievable player. You must have made really good contact with a pop. Yeah, I guess so when, when you're having troubles generating offense, particularly in the park lately, is it even harder when you run into a goalie who's at the top of his game? Who's among the best? Yeah, I was gonna get traffic on him, I think, you know, obviously it's good goal when he sees the puck for us. I think it's just getting that foot traffic and, um, that's, you know, goalies are just a large environment, care for those guys. So you just got to get in the front hard when, you know, you're, you're playing two overtimes and you're kind of down to, you know, just three lines up front. Yeah, it's playoff hockey. There's nothing better. I mean, you want to be out there, you want to have that, that puck on your stick and try to make a play. So, um, you don't really think about being tired at that moment.
