He does his own thing, you know.

But Bobby was a glass-eyed guy.

Very fun to be around.

I think it's coming from the Soviet Union era of Red Army.

The way we play there, Viktor Tikhonov insists on center to be defensive-oriented once we lose a puck.

Our forwards, our wingers, has to go one at a time.

And we got to buy time and eventually close left side or right side.

Depends where the puck carrier would go.

But center, without the puck, always back in triangle.

which is 2D and you're right in the middle.

Defensively, in defensive zone, center always... If your defensive... I mean, my defenseman would close on the player and they would be stationary.

I had to come and help get the puck or get in battle 2-on-2.

and get the puck out of the zone so i already knew how to play defense how to play without the puck from a red line into our zone it's not conversation you guys know you can perform something you don't know or you don't experience or you didn't play in such a high levels uh

I got lucky, man.

I learned from the best.

And I'm glad I had enough ability to understand what they're trying to do.

Because at 19, I think, 19 or 20, we were going to the first adult world championship.

Just two of us.

95, you guys get swept by the Devils.

A lot of people thought you'd win that one.
