It's extremely exciting to be part of such an incredible group. And when I walked into the room the other day, I literally had flashbacks to back in the year that we won and some of the groups that we've had over the year that I looked at as an incredible chemistry and incredible culture.

When you walk in here and you see the way the guys interact and the relationships that they have, not just within the room as players, but with their staff and their coaches and management, it shows why they've been the pillar in the league the last few years. So I'm extremely excited to be part of the group and really looking forward to getting back on the ice and becoming part of the group here.

They've bounced us the last couple years in playoffs, so they've bounced the Bruins the last couple years. It has been pretty remarkable to see the growth they've had as a group the last few years. And I think Throughout the year here this year, we've played the team of multiple times and I remember just thinking like that. That's that's the team to beat this year.

I just I thought the way that they came at you in waves all game long, just the depth that they had in their group. The way I mean they have. the experience and know what it takes when they get in those tough situations and that's invaluable. They didn't lose many guys and the guys that they did replace them with are great players.

So yeah, I looked at the group and I was like, that's the team that has the ability to go all the way again. And, you know, when you match the drive with the experience and the depth of the group, it's a very dangerous combination. So I was, that was, you know, when things were kind of coming up and kind of writing was on the wall, this is absolutely the place I wanted to go.

Let's hear Brad Marchand get emotional. You know, I've had an incredible run in that organization, and I'm extremely proud. Just... how things went there. Sorry. So yeah, it was very disappointing that things didn't get done just because obviously I love the organization. I wanted to stay there. But at the end of the day, I also know that business is business and every player is a shelf life.
