It’s been a bit of an inconsistent start to our season so far, but everything is a learning process for us right now. The biggest thing is to remember that we are a young team. For all those people who are worrying about us, just remember it’s only four games into the season and we’ve got 78 more to go. We’re working on learning the systems right and communication with each other. This is not a group of guys that’s been together for a number of years. This is a new team and this is a process. I think we’ve got a lot of talent on this team and we showed against Minnesota that when we play well, good things happen and we’ll get rewarded for it. I think we’re fine
Tuesday night, we had a red carpet event before our home opener against Minnesota and it was a lot of fun. I’ve never gone through anything like that in my life and it just shows the professionalism of the Senators organization and how they want to treat their fans and reward their fans for coming to the games. I thought it was great and I hope we can do more things like that. I didn’t expect to see that many people out, but it really shows the dedication of our fans.
My parents were in town for that game and it was a good game for them to see. It was back and forth and we ended up winning in a shootout, so you couldn’t have asked for more. For them, it was also a real treat to see me score a goal as well. So I certainly appreciated them coming and I know they really enjoyed it.
