Yeah, it's been unreal.

I guess the fans have been pretty cool to go out there and kind of listen to them and just kind of be around the environment.

You hear it all the time when I was at home, not on the team, but now being on the team and being in the locker room, it definitely helps us go out there and want to play for them.

Yeah, I think, you know, we were fans.

I mean, we were fans in the dark times.

We kind of stopped going to games and they started winning.

So maybe we were the problem.

But no, it's been unreal.

It's been surreal.

Kind of, you know, getting to kind of talk to Matt last year about how it was being a hometown guy.

and kind of come back now and living it.

It's definitely a crazy moment, but you just got to go for the ride.

Yeah, that definitely brings a sense of comfortability.

I mean, also getting traded to...

Your hometown, you get familiar with the area, so that's nice not coming to a new place and just getting a whole bunch of things thrown at you.

You get a little bit of support, so it's nice coming to this area.

Yeah, I think I know my role.

I think they know that I know my role, and I enjoy playing that way.

So going out there and kind of battling, competing, and winning battles, it's not just playing hits and being physical that way.

It's winning the puck battles inside the zone and in the O-zone.
