confidence feeling since
It's been better since the (Olympic) break. I'm feeling a lot more comfortable and I have a lot more confidence on the ice. It's been better.
build chance confidence deliver few guess happy ice playing time totally tough
I guess I couldn't deliver what they wanted from me. When I got in the lineup, I was a fourth-liner playing a few shifts. It's tough to get your confidence up that way. So, I'm really happy to get a new chance here, get some ice time and build my confidence and be a totally new player.
practice
As we play more and practice more together, we're getting to know each other more all the time. Every day we get better.
felt friday ice nervous
