“Honestly, I’m not extremely happy with it to be honest. I have not been my best this year. It’s been tough. I mean, when I’m getting in, I feel like I’m contributing, but I’m still just having a little bit of a tough time with my game. I’m doing my role well, but I’d like to produce more for this squad. I know I can do that and I know I can be a bigger factor there, especially when I’m getting power play time on the 1st line tonight. So, I’d like to get on the scoresheet more.  I don’t base my whole season off of points or anything like that, but I know that, overall this year, I’m not extremely high on how it’s gone so far, so I’m just continuing to climb and try to grow and get better as the season goes on.”

“He’s just been a really good North South player for us. He’s been able to move his feet. He’s been able to be physical. He’s been smart. He’s done a good job on the wall and they’re playing against top lines right now and they’ve done a good job of it.”

“My game is pretty simple. It’s kind of in your face, just playing as hard as I can. Making sure I’m first in on the forecheck. Making sure I’m hitting a couple bigger hits, I guess, per se to get the guys going and get myself going. I know when I’m being a prick, I’m playing at my best level. When I have a cool head but can also get under guys’ skin by making the extra hit on a guy, that’s when I’m at my best. That’s when I think I’m helping the team the most.”

“I think when Park and I are both playing at fast paced, we play well together. We have to read off each other, and we’re both big frames who like to get in the forecheck. I do think our roles are similar, but we’re not the same player by any means. I think he’s got more speed and more of an act to score from outside where I’m more meat and potatoes, get the puck in and kind of grind it towards the net. It’s not going to pretty like he can move. So I think we’re figuring it out as it goes. I know both him and I aren’t thrilled with how we’re doing this year. But we build off it. We work in practice a lot together, just the two of us. We’ll do our touches every day together. When we’re both playing our game, both with speed, I know that’s a big one and moving our feet, we’re hard to play against. I believe that. We can really complement one another, but we both have to be going at the same time.”
