On how he feels about going into the first pre-season game:
Itās quick, but we had the chance to have regular scrimmages and the Black and Gold Game, so everybody got a bit of good timing back. It will be a real good first test and a chance for the players.
On what it is going to feel like playing again:
When you donāt play for a long time like this, itās about timing on the ice and where the players are standing. Your vision, your timing ā everything needs to be there and ready for the season.
On the younger players:
Itās a training camp; everybody wants to make an impression. Itās important to go out there and play and not think too much.
On the game being against Detroit tonight:
Theyāre a great team every year. Itās a great organization, so itās always fun to play against them.
On being considered one of the āolder guysā at camp:
No, I donāt think so. Iām one of the youngest here. Thereās new guys and guys who have been here 5, 6 years. Iām here to help and itās fun playing with all these guys and itās going to be a good time.
On working on and improving the power play:
Itās a new setup; weāve got new players. I think playing tonight will work on everything we talked about. There are a lot of players to work on the penalty kill. There are some things that we would love to change and some things we have to work on.
