Welp, gotta head out for a couple of hours. Be back when I can to catch the rest on DVR and announce the SNOG.
Chartier on radio intermission interview:
- [on his NHL debut] it's an incredible feeling, one you look forward to your whole life, feels like a dream out there, thought it was pretty good 1st from my perspective, tried to keep it simple and work the nerves out
- [was it better that it was an early start?] yeah, I was thinking about that yesterday, it probably would've been pretty tough to nap today, but 1 o'clock start, just get up, get some breakfast, and get to the rink
- just try and keep it simple, you're playing with good players now, do your job, everybody else is gonna do theirs
- Tavares leaving is tough on any team, I played against Barzal in juniors, he's a special player, they have other good players too so they're gonna be a good team, we just gotta stick to our game plan
Braun on TV intermission interview:
- [on playing w/ a new D partner] pretty good, a few times you're on the wrong page but it's been pretty good
- you never know what you're gonna get with these afternoon games, but I thought we came out hard, got pucks to the net and tips, hopefully some with start going in
- [what do you want to accomplish on the road trip?] good breakouts and good forechecks, that's the key to our game and if we do that we're gonna be successful
