You can't get stuck with it on your stick in your own zone.

And he does that better than Jack guy does.

it speaks to the depth of the team.

It speaks to how good this team is.

You can put a guy in like Struble who missed the entire last series just watching it because he wasn't the right guy for that one.

And he can come in and play as well as he did after that long a layoff.

That's the difference with the Canadians this year.

It's not just, oh, we have some guys on the sidelines and that's depth.

And that's...

that's a mark of a real good team.

Kyrie's two-way game is perfectly suited for the Canadians.

Since he's been here, since he was traded for, they had a very strong understanding of why he would be so successful in their system.

He's a warrior.

He'll do anything to win and make any sacrifice to do it.
