Like I had been called up in the past before I hadn't played a game, but

I have had experience being in the NHL and like training camps to like playing games.

So it didn't feel like too different to me, to be honest.

Like I didn't do the whole rookie lap thing because like I just wanted it to be another day, honestly.

And, you know, with that being said, I did enjoy the moment, right?

Like my parents were there.

Fiance was there.

So people I care about were at that game, which is a was really special and something you obviously never forget.

For sure.

You know, my mom and dad in general with like life principles, I think that I have a unique outlook on life because I've probably gone through a lot more adversity than maybe some people have.

And I'm not one to judge or compare adversity, right?

Versus what other players have had to make it to this level.

But, you know, I think for sure, I think

being appreciative and like being able to take a step back and put, you know, yourself in different shoes.

Like that kind of outlook is, is led to a calmer, more enjoyable demeanor.

Like my pro career and just the, the stress that comes with being a pro hockey player.

Cause it's a lot, obviously you guys all know, you know, 82 games, let alone in an Olympic year can be a lot on the body and on the brain.

So, yeah.

What's that about?

Oh, Vinny, I don't do that anymore.
