And they played really well.

it's exciting you know here we are let's see what's let's see what's next i guess how are you at staying composed during these games especially when some of them are heading to overtime like are you a nervous wreck in the box yeah i'm not as good as i thought you know i always promised myself going into every game i'm gonna be good and then i'm never good you know it's like i i'm like i'm gonna be tonight i'm not gonna say a word and then the game starts and i'm like that's the

What's going to, you know, play itself out and, you know, will they be rusty?

I guess rest versus rust, I guess is what I'm trying to say.

Those first 10 minutes might feel like there's eight guys on the ice for Carolina.

We'll see.
