So, really appreciate it. Uh yeah, this is your sixth season with the Panthers. We’re still in the early going here. We’re recording this uh in October, almost November. just how would you sum up your time here with the Pampa so far? Obviously a very different guy now from when you arrived. Yeah, I mean it’s been really good. Uh I was a little nervous when I it was my first year here in states and uh yeah, it’s been really good. Uh they gave me a really good opportunity right away. Uh um tried to work hard for it uh obviously, but yeah, it’s been really good. And obviously you had an incredible playoff run last year. The goals, the assists, the points, the plus minus, all through the roof. And a lot of that with Brad Marian joining the team and joining you and Mundy on that line, just an insane third line. What did he kind of do for you just coming in that first day? Cuz obviously he’s not a quiet guy. He’s jumps right in. What was it like day one he gets in that line with you and Lundy? Yeah, it’s uh I think it really like for me especially uh get a little boost on my offensive game. He he plays fast so it like really puts me in a situation to think fast as well like and play fast. So that’s that’s a really good thing for me. And uh yeah, everything really lined up. Uh we we were really great together from the day one. He also likes to talk a lot on the ice. So I was about to say legendary trash talker. Yeah, that but also like for us too like you you can hear him want in the puck, so it makes our job easier too. Mhm. But yeah, he he likes to uh chirp guys also. It’s fun to fun to see. Then Lucy start rhino for a mama. Obviously more more and more now we have more behind the scenes access. We see lots of videos from not just you guys but around the league and we always hear just how good the locker room is here. and you see some clips sometimes in lots of sports where you know there’ll be moments in tough moments and the guys are yelling and guys are screaming but whenever we kind of see your guys videos it’s always pretty tame a guy just kind of like all right boys you know get out there get the next one just what is it like in the locker room in those those tight moments maybe when you guys are trailing in big games or going into a big third period it seems like you guys are just so chill yeah I think uh just a lot of uh experience too uh the guys who speaks up they’re they know what they’re talking about and yeah I think just uh trying to build together like everybody supports each other and so easy to be around the everybody so it’s that’s why it feels feels good. Well Lucy once again thanks for giving me this ride for talking for catching up and enjoy your BMW M5 touring for the next month of the month. Congrats again. Thank you. Really appreciate it.
