Michael Lewis

First off, you know, like, congratulations on that first game, dominant out there.

Pretty sick to get a point that quick, but take us through the reaction, right?

I know you were driving to go watch Denver play, and give us the breakdown of kind of the call with Billy G and your thoughts after.

Yeah, it was crazy.

Obviously, um, you know, a little bit of a surprise.

And, um, and when Billy called me actually originally, I thought he was sending me down.

Cause I, I mean, I hadn't talked to Billy in a while.

And then he was like, Hey, I got bad news.

And like no trade or anything had ever gone like that wasn't going through my head.

I was like, Oh God, I'm about to get sent down.

But, yeah, no, I mean, obviously, you know, tough phone call.

And, I mean, I think, you know, when you get drafted and everything, you know, you think you're going to be in that place forever.

And you buy into everything and the culture and, you know, wanting to win there.

And, you know, kind of got to see the business side of it pretty quickly.

So, yeah.

um it was obviously crazy and you know didn't really know how to feel at first with just um you know with all the news but um very you know excited for the opportunity here with the Canucks and um you know I think there's you know there's opportunity for me and um you know it's going to be kind of cool to see this team grow and obviously I

And, you know, really thankful for everything in Minnesota.

I know it was a short period of time, but, you know, kind of kickstarted my NHL career.

And, yeah, I mean, I couldn't be more thankful for Billy and everybody there.

I think, you know, like I said, a short period of time, had friends for a lifetime.
