It kind of shows the evolution of the game too.

Like you're beginning of your career, you're going against guys that are six, four, six, five battle.

And then by the end of it, smaller guys like Patrick Kane.

So the evolution of your game had to change as well, right?

Yeah.

He had the, you know, I went, went to the lead with the clutching and grabbing and, you know, you had to bench press, you know, 350 pounds to, to compete to, you know, a lockout rule changes.

You had become a better skater, uh,

uh, you know, handle the puck more and just be a, uh, you know, an all around player.

So I struggled a little bit, uh, you know, right after the lockout, but, you know, I figured it out and, you know, I had a pretty decent career after that.

Um, I would imagine you're probably watching a lot of blues games.

Like, are you like, how many do you think you watch a year?

Um, yeah, well, between, uh, you know, coaching and all that, I don't get to a lot, but yeah, I try and, uh, you know, follow.

So yeah, the blues, you know, I'll probably, you know, catch probably 40 to 50 of them.

And, uh, but yeah, just try and, uh, you know, keep up with the times here, you know, be in the office, you know?

uh enterprise and you know sneaking out for practice once in a while pre-game skates and stuff so yeah we're around is steiner and like the rest of the guys in the organization like asking you like what you what you think here what you think there i feel like uh for like maybe a small place and not a big market it's one of the most that guys stay in like i think it's actually like a like a stat where the most guys who've played there for a certain amount of time end up just residing there so i feel like you guys got like a great boys club

And a lot to, like, bounce, like, stuff off each other.

Like, having a bigger round table is better, right?

Yeah, no, there's, you know, I'm trying to think of all the guys.

You know, we got Portuzzo, you got McInnes, Scott Mellenby, you know, Steiner, you know, Otter.

There's so many guys that have played that are actually working for the organization.
