It was like a straight up rookie party injury.

Like you had to still be hurting.

And he dummied himself.

And in that time, I was out injured, of course.

So as he started skating and I was skating, we were with the skills coach on the Oilers.

And I was like, I can't keep up with this guy.

Like his, and obviously his skating wasn't affected with the shoulder injury, but it was so embarrassing to me.

And it was so evident and obvious.

Like this guy skates at such a different level than I can move now.

I think my time's running out.

I think that this is going to be it based on his way to like move around the ice.

And we would do these certain like cone drill races.

And it was, I was losing by 10 seconds.

That's like 10 minutes basically in hockey or sprinting.

So I just remember his IQ, though.

That's what I think of is like his ability.

And he's great defensively.

He's had huge playoffs in these four years where they've had such good teams every spring.

And it's just awesome to see that he's done it.

And he's the first ever Oiler player to get his thousandth game with the Oilers, all with the Oilers.
