00:00Getting into JT's return, I mean, for me, and I wrote about this after watching him field questions from Vancouver media,

00:07it was so fascinating for me to see him in this sort of setting because ever since he was named captain

00:15and ever since really he's rejoined the Rangers, he's just been so dead fast in everything he says and everything he does.

00:23He's a force of nature in so many different ways, both on the ice and off the ice, truly.

00:30Knowing that the emotions were coming, already feeling the emotions.

00:33He said just touching down on the tarmac, he was feeling in some type of way about being back in Vancouver.

00:39So he was really grappling with what a big night it was for him and his family,

00:45but also his responsibilities as Rangers captain to not cause any distractions and want the team to be focused.

00:53So it was like the two sides of this coin were going back and forth during this scrum.

00:58And it was really fascinating to see that for me.

01:01And I thought he handled it so well.

01:02He was a superstar, 99 point season, over a hundred point season, you know,

01:07and a big, big part of like what team USA is going to be doing.

01:11And I think, you know, his personality, everybody has different personality traits

01:17and his personality is perfectly suited as a leader of men in a sport like hockey in the NHL.

01:25That's great.
