I only play for them, never practice with them.

That's how it worked out because their school at eight, but I cannot make it because I live at the school and nobody can provide living, like billets or something like that.

So I was five days out of the week on my own, doing my own training with those teens.

and then play Saturday to Sunday with my own age team.

Must have been so easy in those games.

But getting to Detroit, okay, so you get over immediately over a point per game, 30 goals.

The next season is when Konstantinov and I believe Kozlov came.

When did you find out they were coming?

How happy were you that you had another Russian or two over there?

Okay, this is maybe a little bit easier off the ice.

Is that true?

Seven months since I got to Detroit, I already was speaking some.

Okay.

So for me, Corvette, downtown apartments, two bedrooms.

I can walk without going outside straight to the locker room from my apartment.

It was awesome.

You know, sometime when it's snowy or rainy, I don't have to do anything.

Just walk.

maybe 10 minutes i'm in the locker room that's what i did but those guys coming in obviously it was easy but i was rocking because i already speak english i show them around and i was like uh sort of um i got them under my wing a little bit you know and make them make them adjust it a little bit obviously easier for them and for me because uh

they share some experience and I immediately can answer them what we should do about certain situations.
