00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 2: to have you back once again, my friend. And first off,

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 2: I'll begin with the four years here and perhaps many

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: more in your NHL career. What do you tell your

10
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 2: younger self if you could, about what you would expect

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: playing here in Seattle.

12
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 3: Well, when I came in, I wasn't young to begin with,

13
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 3: but I think you know I've I've enjoyed my time

14
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 3: here for sure. We've kind of made this our home.

15
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 3: Two kids have been born here. You know, I kind

16
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 3: of what I expected was what I got. I knew

17
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 3: coming in here. I was a Seahawks fan. I knew

18
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 3: a passionate. The fans were about sports here, not just them,

19
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: but the Mariners, and they've kind of adopted the same thing.

20
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 3: The fans have been unbelievable. The organization, the ownership, the

21
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 3: amenities that were given, the money that they put into

22
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 3: this team. It's been nothing but first class. So, like

23
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 3: I said, I've everything that I expected has happened.

24
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 2: I believe you threw the first pitch out at the

25
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: Mariners recently. The experience for you, how was it?

26
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you're you try to play cool and

27
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 3: I always I think I was talking a big game

28
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 3: about trying to actually go out there and throw on

29
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: a good one down there, and then as soon as

30
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: you get to the mountain you can kind of cop out.

31
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 3: You just kind of make sure it gets there. So

32
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: it was a neat experience, I think to do that

33
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 3: with my kids coming on the field. Uh, and obviously

34
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 3: they're playing so well and on a streak, and I

35
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 3: didn't ruin that, not that it really had anything to

36
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 3: do with it, but it was just it's a great ballpark.

37
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 3: It's you get to the baseball this time of the year,

38
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 3: when you're in the hunt, it's it's it's exciting to watch.

39
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: So what difference to doesn't make when you're able to

40
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: go into the tunnel and get a few warm up

41
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: tosses and versus just going out cold arm live and

42
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: facing forty thousand people all looking at you on the

43
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: mound there for the first pitch.

44
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that, Like I said, you just want

45
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 3: to get it down there. You don't want to embarrass yourself.

46
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 3: But I talked a big game before and then I,

47
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: like I said, I completely copped out.

48
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: What's the funniest thing that you've ever had to autograph

49
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: for a fan? You know what?

50
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 3: I think the funniest thing would be, you know, just

51
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: the I can't really think of anything that comes at

52
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 3: the top of my head. You sign, it's it's just

53
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 3: all a blur, right, Yeah, some people have some unique

54
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 3: artwork that they've made that you want to sign, stuff

55
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 3: like that. I remember someone made a poster for one

56
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 3: of my kids last year that they gave me and

57
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 3: it was just I looked at it. I was like, Wow,

58
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 3: you drew that. So, I mean there's fans are regenerous

59
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: here for sure.

60
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 2: Calgary is where you call home usually in the off season.

61
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 2: Where's the first place you're taking a buddy if he

62
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: visits you in town?

63
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: Well, hopefully he comes during Stampede. I mean that would

64
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: make it easy because we would just head there. But

65
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 3: you know, I I big passion of mine the summertime

66
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 3: in hobbies to golf, so I would just probably take

67
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 3: him the golf course house.

68
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 2: Family holding up right now.

69
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: They're doing good. Yet, they're doing good, they're busy. They're

70
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: the two, you know, the five and three that actually

71
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 3: start skating here at CA c I, so that'll be fun.

72
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 3: And daughters started school. Everyone's kind of settled in and

73
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,839
Speaker 3: and we we got here early enough to get going

74
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 3: to do that.

75
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: So inquiring parents want to know, for you, what's the

76
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 2: secrets to raising three kids at home?

77
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: I have a good.

78
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: Wife, I guess. I mean, we're gone so much. You know,

79
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 3: you try to be president when you're home and you

80
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: try to get as much time in. But I mean

81
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 3: the ultimate is that we're we're playing. It's either on

82
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 3: the road game day or it's game day at home,

83
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 3: so you know, you try to It's it's tough, you know.

84
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 3: But now that they're getting a little bit older, they're

85
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 3: able to come to the games and enjoy that, which

86
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: I enjoy seeing there. And and then their activities, like

87
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 3: I said, they're skating here, which is awesome. I get

88
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 3: a chance to see them more often. So but yeah,

89
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 3: I definitely the first answer to get to make sure

90
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: you're wife styled.

91
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: In well, we asked this question a few years ago,

92
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 2: but updating this now, what's the best part about being

93
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: a father?

94
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: You know, it's probably the same answer I had last year.

95
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 3: It just gives you perspective. You know, I was came

96
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: into this league and and you know, you live and

97
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: die by hockey and I still do. And you know,

98
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 3: you're taking losses home and wins home, the highs and

99
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 3: the lows, right, and you come home and they don't

100
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 3: really care how the game wins, so they it gives

101
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 3: you perspective. It's able to You're able to get away

102
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 3: from the rink a little bit more, which I think

103
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: honestly helps your game just that much more.

104
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 2: If I can dial this back to last season, not

105
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: that the freakus injury is in the rear view mirror.

106
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 2: You said that there were some days where it admittedly

107
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 2: crossed your mind that maybe would you ever play again,

108
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: and that was in doubt. How critical was family or

109
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 2: the group text to get you through that?

110
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, well, first off, we had a baby,

111
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: you know, days after I got home from surgery, so

112
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 3: that kind of brightened my spirits. But yeah, I mean

113
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 3: they kept me, you know, my mind happy. At least

114
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: there's you know, it was never a dull moment at

115
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 3: home there's kids flying around, but yeah, ultimately watching games

116
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: and missing the group and then just kind of taking

117
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 3: it day by day. You know, once you learn you

118
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 3: get to start walking again on a cane, and then

119
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 3: you know, you get to actually start walking, learn how

120
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 3: to walk and start skating. And it was just the

121
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 3: day by day process really. I mean, ultimately, I knew

122
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 3: I was going to get back after a while, and

123
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: maybe not as quick as I thought I was, but

124
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 3: I mean I was happy with how it turned out

125
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: as far as you know, the recovery time, was able

126
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: to finish the year last year, and then just the

127
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 3: summer training I had and where I'm at now, I feel,

128
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 3: you know, like I did at the start of camp

129
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 3: last year. So I'm excited and rare to go. I

130
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 3: feel like I got to kind of got robbed of

131
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: the season last year, and you know, I want to

132
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 3: pick up.

133
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 2: At this stage of your career, how much does health

134
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: mean for the goals that you've set.

135
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's not just this age, but I

136
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 3: mean everyone, you got to stay healthy in this league.

137
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: It's eighty two games and it's a marathon on a sprint.

138
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 3: You know, you have to, you know, take care of yourself.

139
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 3: It just doesn't mean you don't want to get hurt.

140
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 3: This is a physical game. Stuff's going to happen. I

141
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 3: think it's more about taking care of yourself and your

142
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 3: off days. Make sure your body's and peak condition and

143
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: pliable so that when you do get bent around a

144
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 3: little bit, you're you're able to sustain that stuff. So

145
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 3: I've always incorporated in my training, you know, I think

146
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 3: I've I've done a good job up to this point,

147
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: other than last year of you know, really staying healthy

148
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 3: and hope to continue that.

149
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 2: Finally, you were a part of the Third Jersey when

150
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: this came out, and you were also in fact, one

151
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 2: of the first to also model this. What's your favorite

152
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: part about that Third Jersey.

153
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 3: I mean, it's got a lot of unique parts. I think, obviously,

154
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: throw it under black light. I think the big hit

155
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 3: is probably that it glows a bit. But I mean

156
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 3: it's just it's different than what we've worn. I like how,
