Um, uh,

Marty says that you can never have too many defensemen who are good skaters and can play well at both ends of the ice.

Not naming him, but he was referring to Adam Engstrom.

Lane Hudson said he reads the game really well.

His game has a certain simplicity, but he has a bit of offensive flair and a good shot.

He's a really complete player.

So he's been welcomed and all the players are appreciating the way he's been.

Maybe a little bit of a surprise to a struggling defense.

Adam Engstrom has been the guy who stepped in and been the guy that Marty is confident to play every single game.

He sounds confident.

He does.

And he should because he's been playing really well.

Now, you know, you acknowledge that he's getting sheltered minutes at this point, but his responsibilities and playing over 15 minutes, you can't shelter him all the time.

And his role has certainly grown.

Brilliant answer.

If you don't listen to you guys, you'll be fine.

But listen, put this in a capsule and hand it out to the media.

And they should study this because they don't understand how a player's mind works, how a goaltender's mind works.

They just assume and they kind of...

They put themselves in the situation, and they don't get that Dobish doesn't feel threatened.
