I think that's the main thing I've been doing.

That was cool.

That's a really good league, good teams.

It's a good level of hockey that was pretty hard.

Um, so I think I did the right, right choice, uh, joining Miami at this age.

Um, that was getting easier throughout the season because, uh, my game was growing throughout the season and, uh,

That was helping me out.

You know, in college you don't play that much games, so physically I wasn't that tired.

I felt pretty nice.

I think I kind of maintained my size throughout the season.

Uh, so I wasn't losing strength.

I wasn't gaining much, uh, because it's pretty hard still, uh, to gain weight and, uh, strength in a season.

But, uh, yeah, I kept it kind of consistent.

Yeah, I would say Alex Barkov or Andrzej Kopitar.

I would say I've always been like that since I was young.

Yeah, my coach has taught me from a young age, so I kind of picked it up pretty early and kept it throughout my career.

I think I'm pretty good at using my body in the offensive zone.

corner battles, puck protections, physicality, that's how I play my offensive game.

You know, I would compare American hockey with American football, and Russian hockey was like soccer.

Okay, yeah.
