He smirked bad.

Jason Rudy doesn't.

We got a pretty easy locker room, to be honest.

I mean, you know, like, Cal just keeps it pretty light, and all the guys are pretty good, but, you know, Gunther is awesome.

He's super fun.

Marino, and we had Tanev there for a while, who was great, so, you know, even the new guys, I mean, Trocek and Lee have been amazing, and we all get along super well, so it's It's been great getting to know the guys and kind of grow together as a group.

Yeah, it's a really, really close locker room we got.

He did.

do you like playing with Kraus and Hayden?

Yeah, it's great.

I mean, you know, I got to play with Hates a little bit last year and Krelster I played with a bunch over the years.

So, you know, I think we're a big strong line that's really solid defensively and, you know, we can generate offensively off the forward check really well.

So it's been good.

Was there anything in particular that you saw that you guys wanted to, you know, clean up before the regular season?

Yeah, you know, I think we had a lot of good intentions out there.

I think execution needs to be a little bit better.

do you like playing with Kraus and Hayden?

Yeah, it's great.

I mean, you know, I got to play with Hayes a little bit last year and Krelster I played with a bunch over the years.

So, you know, I think we're a big strong line that's really solid defensively.

And, you know, we can generate offensively off the forward check really well.

So it's been good.

Was there anything in particular that you saw that you guys wanted to, you know, clean up before the regular season?

You know, I think we had a lot of good intentions out there.

And, you know, just on a further point to that, Enzo Fernández leaving Chelsea, in fact he has been linked with City, um, how, you know, i- is that something you're worried about? Could you see it really sort of transpiring in that manner? Do you think he would, you know, leave the football club?

Yes, Enzo Fernández has been linked away with Chelsea and yes, I'd say it's between himself and João Pedro to be the biggest threat on Saturday.

In terms of Enzo being linked away, personally I would not sell him.

I think he's one of the first names on the team sheet.

You know, he is the reason we were in this cup final.

It was his goal that obviously knocked Leeds out and got us here in the first place.

So I think he's a massive threat.

Or does this time, with all of the stuff regarding the ownership, is it a little bit different? Is there a different feel surrounding it?

What did you learn most about yourself this year?

Yeah, you know, I think Obviously, it's been tough the last couple of weeks, you know, dealing with certain things.

And I think, you know, I'm proud of the fact in dealing with adversity and trying to, you know, do what I can and stuff.

But I think I continue to learn more, you know, kind of more off the ice and going with the guys and what it takes, you know, to try to be a leader within the team.

And...

And, yeah, I think just, you know, preparation off the ice and continuing to do that, yeah.

What can the fans expect out of you next year in the playoffs, you know, from a healthy Jack McMahon, hopefully?

Yeah, you know, this year was tough because, you know, I got to play in some games, but I didn't really feel that I was able to, you know, play my game.
