I've been the past two years on Edmonton.

We've had long playoff runs going to the finals and losing twice and

Your summer's only about nine weeks, so a third of that's kind of just recovering, resting, and then the next thing you know, you're kind of in panic mode, being like, oh, I've got to train.

So this year will be a good opportunity for me to get a good summer in, for sure.

Yeah, for sure.

I think you kind of see the theme of that across the league and a lot of these D-men that are coming up.

I do still think there's a big importance on how you defend though.

And I think that becomes pretty evident when it comes to playoff time.

But I don't know, I guess the whole mindset of just like playing defense has changed.

The best defense is playing no defense.

So if you have the puck all the time, it's a lot easier in that regard.

And

It seems like they have a new generation of D-men coming up who like to play at the puck and have possession, so you don't really have to defend that often.

Just all the matchups in general, I think...

It's been really entertaining to watch.

I was really shocked how it all got swept.

I didn't see that one coming.

The Tampa-Montreal series has been super entertaining.

It's really cool to see Utah do as well as they have so far, especially being in Arizona not long ago and a lot of those core guys still there.

Really happy for them.
