was amazing. You don't have a choice but to play your best. They force you do do that because they're smart and that's the fun part for me, I'm being challenged to think faster and be creative.
We believe in a lot of the same things. I'm interested to learn about anything, any way I can improve myself. And I think it's a two-way thing where he's trying to find things that interest the players and make it fun for them to improve.
With Palffy and Gonchar, those are some real offensive players, ... It should be a fun team to watch, definitely.
It's probably pretty funny that it could be a little competition we have there.
That's probably the highlight of my career. I scored a couple goals, it was a fun game. We made some great plays, some fun plays. That sticks out in my mind.
It was fun when I found out I'd be playing against him tonight. We became great friends. He played great tonight. It was healthy competition, and it was fun to see it from that side.
That's fine. That's the fun part about playing in the NHL: I grew up watching these guys and now I'm going to be playing against them, and that's special. But I can't change anything. You still have to shoot the same places, do the same things you did before.
This is what I'm here to do and I'm very excited, ... It's been busy, busier than normal with the lottery and the draft, so it's going to be nice to get into a routine and get on the ice every day. That's the fun part.
It goes by fast. When it's your first year, a lot of times it goes by slower just because everything's new. I can't imagine it going by any faster than it has this year. It's scary, but it's been fun and I want to finish as best as possible.
For me to look far ahead would be a lot of years wasted, and a lot of time and work wasted, ... I've done the same thing since I was six -- try to get better and have fun playing hockey.
I'm happy to go everywhere, ... I know the history of that building, but every place is fun to go to right now. It's all new.
He's an unbelievable player, ... It was fun just to watch him out there.
Breakaway goals are fun.
It was amazing. You don't have a choice but to play your best. They force you do do that because they're smart and that's the fun part for me, I'm being challenged to think faster and be creative.
