Sam Lafferty on system building | Chicago Blackhawks| Chicago Blackhawks

So, obviously you’ve been with the Blackhawks before, but everybody’s new to Jack Bl. And then just how would you sum what training camp for you with with him systems and everything? Yeah, it was uh it was a good camp. There’s a lot of uh you know, systems we’re putting into place um like you said, but I think the big thing comes down to uh you know, hard work and just supporting each other all over the ice and thought we did that and thought we progressed as a camping along. So, overall I think really positive and um but we just got to keep building moving forward. What was tonight like as one of the only veterans in the lineup? Um, yeah, I mean, I thought we battled hard in the first and um, yeah, liked our game and kind of got away from us in the second a little bit, but I thought we uh, you know, we stayed with it. Didn’t obviously score tonight, but battled to the very end and I think um, you know, that’s a positive we can take away from it. How much has the overall roster construction in the organization changed since the last time you were here? A good amount. Yeah, I think there’s maybe six guys that were were here last time I was here and um so nice to have some familiar faces, but um you know, a lot of young elite skill and um makes it exciting. I think we got a lot of building blocks. We just got to you know, keep getting a little bit better every day and um yeah, the results will take care of themselves. Talked about this team throughout the preseason starting to feel a little bit more natural with the system. Do you get that sense as well now getting through six preseason games? Yeah, absolutely. I think at first you’re thinking a little bit and we want to get to a point where we’re not thinking. It’s just natural and automatic and helps you play faster. You know, you can know what all the other guys are going to do and um yeah, I think it’s just one of those things. Um it’s never going to be perfect, but we just got to keep chipping away, keep getting a little bit better um every single day, whether it’s, you know, practice or a game. There’s a lot of things we can learn and take away. How do you feel about your game at this point and where you stand coming into the season? I feel good. Ready to go. Um, super excited and um, yeah, just want to bring everything I can to the table every single night and um, yeah, just super excited to get going.
