«Me and Lavi were really close. He was great to me and gave me an opportunity last year and talked to me pretty much every day. I think he helped me a lot for sure. Nothing but the best and obviously I think he’ll be a big mentor for me throughout my career and I learned a lot from him, and I think he was awesome for me.»
«I think always players feel, like you said, on the ice that we didn’t perform well enough and then the coach takes the fall. That stinks. It’s tough. He was awesome for me, and I’m going to miss seeing him.»
