And just watch this team, what they’ve gone through and the battling that’s gone on. And in a cap era … when it’s so damn hard and the rules are put against you because the league wants parity. And they fought their way to a third Stanley Cup Final in a row. … You know, I’ve been part of some heartbreaking losses and defeats to the teams that took us out and been with a group that just fights, fights and fights.
