This is Lady Bing. I don't know how that strikes you but it's a big honor. Yeah. Any, any time you get, you know, nominate for any of those awards, I mean, that's pretty special. Um, what is it? Three people they nominated? So you're three out of 700 whatever it is. NHL, that's pretty good. Do you respect the fact that that is a, one of the conditions that people are evaluated on in the NHL playing a gentlemanly style, even though it's a difficult game to play the right way. Well, I think, yeah, I mean, I don't know how to really answer that. It's, it's, you know, they're not just giving it to somebody who doesn't take penalties like you, it's elite players that are able to play within the confines of the, the rules is the way I look at it and he's obviously one of those. Do you appreciate that? He appreciates it. There's always been a little bit of a stigma attached to it by some players that he, you know, he strives for that to be recognized for it is important. Yeah. Well, yeah, I think III, I think that the point is maybe in the past when I say way past it was just, you know, I don't think they looked at it like they do now where they're not just giving it to a guy who doesn't take penalties, they're giving it to an elite player that doesn't take a lot of that does it. Right. And that's kind of how that award I think has changed. Like some of the others, like, it's just a, any of these awards that you get nominated for is special and the way he does it is special. I had to have Tony back out there today and yeah, we knew he was gonna be all right. Um But yeah, obviously with Peso and can't afford to have another guy go down promptly at this point. I know the answer to this, but the difference in the Rangers haven't played since Sunday. You haven't played since Tuesday, I guess you throw that out the window or do you try to extract a little bit out of that? And maybe, hey, we had just the right, we hit a window there for five days every other day of practicing. That was right. I don't, I, I don't know, I don't even know what to tell you. I mean, I think it's nice to get a little break because you put so much into, you know, physically and mentally into that series. And then do you come off a little because that's just natural maybe, you know, but I think both teams will get going pretty quickly. Will pet travel with you guys. Um, no, I doubt it.
