00:00I found out today, so it was kind of a quick turnaround, but I'd do anything to play for this
00:06team.
00:07I'm just super excited to play my first game with this group of guys.
00:10They made it super special and super easy, so it's great.
00:12So much excitement. Obviously, this is something I've worked for as a little kid.
00:17This is a dream come true, playing my first NHL game.
00:21All the hours put into this, and all the coaching staff, my parents, my brothers,
00:27just pushing me, helping me to get to this point.
00:30It means a lot, and they're able to be here again tonight, so have them in the crowd,
00:34have family, aunts, uncles, grandparents. It means a lot.
00:38What was it like to make your debut in a rivalry game like this?
00:41Yeah, it was great. Obviously, there's kind of a little bit more of a competitive juice out there
00:46and some more physicality, but I thought it was great.
00:50Your line created a little bit. First shift, you had a lot of O's on time.
00:53And Bjorkstrand ends up scoring. What did you like about the way you guys were playing and generating?
00:58Yeah, I thought we were good on the forecheck, which kind of caused some of those chances in the offensive
01:03zone.
01:03And even in the D zone when we were there, I thought we were pretty sound.
01:07So I thought we did a good job and played our game, played our role,
01:11and coming out with a win is really big there.
