You've been. What did playing in Montreal do to
potentially rekindle that love for the game and how will
that drive you through this offseason to put yourself in
the best position to come back stronger than ever.
Yeah, I think, um, you know,
just the whole organization and the city overall, uh
, kind of, you know, gave me that
spark again for to uh you know, enjoy the
sport and uh. Yeah, it was everybody here
involved, not, not you guys, you guys
definitely weren't part of it, but, um,
just the organization overall, um, no I was
just kidding, um, but yeah, just being
, being around, being around the, the,
the, you know, these guys here, uh
, everybody within the organization in the city, like
it was just so, so awesome, um.
And definitely, definitely helped me, uh, you
know, go, go through tough times this year
and, uh, you know, still, even
though when it, when it was hard to,
uh, you know, enjoy the process and,
um, just, you know, keep, keep
you motivated, um, so I think it was
, it was pretty great. I know for whatever
reason you weren't able to get on the ice before
coming here last year. What does the opportunity look
like for you moving forward? What can you do
? Yeah, I mean, it was yeah,
it was a little hard since, you know,
I had pretty much. Month, month and a
half to train before, before camp since my shoulder
surgery, so no, no surgeries needed this,
this summer, so I got, I got plenty
of time to, uh, you know, go
, go right back at it, have a,
a week of rest here and then start working out
again and um. That's all you can really do
, you know, it's just focus on getting,
getting better and obviously, you know, skating eventually
and try to get better out there too. And
, uh, but yeah, it's important so summer
obviously, but yeah, I'm happy, uh,
happy that, you know, I got all the
time that I need to, uh, be,
uh, be in good shape when, when camp
comes again and, uh, you know, be
, be better than this year.
