I don't care what he does during the regular season.

He's going to have an impact.

I don't care how much offense you have.

And hopefully Anaheim learns that lesson in this series.

And we can beat them.

Yeah, Leo Carlson, he's come in and played unbelievably well, as has the other Carlson, John Carlson, who they acquired at the deadline.
