I think it's hard to project what a guy's going to do, one year out of college, one year in pro. It's a lot of pressure on a kid. But overall he's handled it extremely well.
These European teams are well-oiled machines. They get up by a goal, and it's lockdown time.
Just simple stuff, little 5-foot passes, simple passes, we were just missing them.
Personally, I think he's the real deal. I've skated with him and have seen what he can do. But it's hard where everywhere he goes there's a press conference. It would be good for people to let him be a kid in the league and be a rookie and let him adjust as he goes.
Those were some tough losses. Responding to them was a pretty big step for our team confidence-wise.
This was a good game on our part in the desperate part of the game.
