T.J. Oshie

I'd say it's almost like the initial meeting, right?

So like for me, when I went to the Olympics, it was Blues, Blackhawks, it was Patrick Kane, right?

Probably our best player on the team.

And so when you first get there, you're like, hey, what's up, Kane?

What's up, Osh?

But like deep down, you're like, God, I was just like trying to kill you last week.

And so, but I think that's kind of maybe just for me, it was just like the initial meeting.

you know, meeting, kind of get over that awkwardness.

And then when you put on the jersey, I mean, representing your country, nothing comes closer to that.

And there's no easier way to bond than, you know, throwing on the red, white, and blue and going against Canada or something.

I'm absolutely a believer, so I can answer that one right away.

Their style of play is one of the only ones, I think, right now that they can kind of play a similar playoff style year-round.

Obviously, it's a little bit less, right?

Because you've got a full season, you can't run around hurting yourself.

But I think Matthew Kachuk will make a massive impact.

He...

One, it's going to take a little bit of that pressure off of the rest of the guys that have been trying to carry a pretty large load here with him and Barkov out.

And they've had other injuries too.

And so with that and their style of play, Chucky, he creates so much offense, and he's so good at getting pucks to the net and finding ways to score goals.

And I think it's just going to lift the whole team up.
