Obviously we have a little bit of an issue at the border. We have more Canadian teams than those other leagues, which is unique but, like, I’m sitting at home at Christmas watching the NBA playing at Madison Square Garden, and it’s like kind of weird to me.

I think the way the other leagues have handled it, obviously it seems to be working and they’re playing games and we’re watching the football games [Sunday] after practice, so I think with everything, we have to evolve with what we’ve gone through and I think it’s probably time to look at things.

We’re so excited for the season, we’re watching the other leagues play, and we want to play.

I would say it's a good feeling, but I also think that it's a group that's not satisfied. We're starting to feel like a winning team. Two-two in Boston in the past, we're young, we're a little fragile and I don't know what could happen.

I think it's everyone buying in, i think everyone realizes not every shift is going to be an offensive shift. ... I think we've done a good job of sticking to our system and trusting each other.

Not the way I thought it would have played out, i think my time here has been pretty good, and I got to 100 a lot quicker than I did with the Islanders.
