And, you know, it wasn't good enough.

I wouldn't say there's one area consistently.

We'll look at it, and I don't really have a clear answer, but there's different plays that come, and we just got to...

I think bear down and then when we get momentum, that's the thing with penalty kills is you get momentum, you see theirs right now.

Even when you give up chances, you feel confident it's not going to go in just based on how it's been going.

So for us, we'll gain that confidence and keep going with it.

They play free when the scoring gets high and when they get behind even.

This year they've had a lot of come behind wins and games.

So that is something that we just have to bear down and know that we make it low scoring and then our offense will take over from our defensive play.

So it is something we have to be better at.

Yeah, I've been looking forward to this for not just this year, years, to be honest.

And especially this year, knowing there's a chance to be traded and to come to a big organization.

A big contender and big star-studded team like this has been a big goal of mine.

Just to come in and step in and feel this adrenaline and feel this excitement is unbelievable.

This opportunity doesn't come for everyone, so I'm excited to be here for it.

How do you think the fit's gone so far?

I think it's been great.

The guys are easy to come into.

I think with their experience of being a veteran team, it's easy as an older guy to come in and gel with players you've played against for so many years.

Just to have enough time to gel and get some chemistry with the D partners has been big.
