But at first it was always the agent was calling them, and after Friday, I said, Well, fuck, I’ve, I’ve seen those guys for so long, like, I’ve talked to them so much, like, I’m just gonna call them.

So I called Kelly Friday, I told him, like, like, what’s going on, you know? Like, you know, how big of a factor I’m in your not just on the ice, but on in your locker room. I’m, like, I’m one of those five guys that makes the locker room, you know, like that makes it enjoyable with the trainers and all that. We had an unbelievable chemistry and atmosphere over there. It was so much fun.
