Taylor Hall

Like, I...

You know, I've been other places where you get, you know, you get yelled at for mistakes offensively more than here.

And then I would just, you know, there's off the ice has been a really cool experience.

Obviously, there's there's some really good players here, but a ton of good people, you know, led by Roddy and his coaching staff and the organization and.

You never know what a place is going to be like until you get somewhere, but it's been incredible, obviously.

And for us to take a step last year and make the conference finals and then ultimately finish the goal this year, it's been so much fun and really a dream come true.

There was some frustration and I got the sense that it's great to have a nice regular season and get 100 points and win your division.

But ultimately, if we couldn't get over that conference final hump, I don't think that the season would be looked at as a success.

There was that kind of anxiety, especially when we lost that first game in the conference finals against Montreal.

We were all just kind of a little bit pissed off at how that went.

I think that was just rust overall.

Once we got over that conference final, once we got that and we were in the Stanley Cup final, I think we were all just...

I was super excited to hopefully take that step.

It was a great series for us.

I just watched the replay of the series last night.

It really could have went either way in so many of those games.

I imagine as a fan, it was pretty awesome to watch.

No, I mean, there's like a 40-minute replay on YouTube with all the goals and whatnot.

So, yeah, there was like, you know, we could have won that first game.

They could have won the second game.
