‘Another thing I’ve noticed is the players are having fun. They seem to be enjoying practice and even though we’re not in the room for a long time, they are just sitting together talking and enjoying being there. McCabe said, “For sure, not to bring up last year, but Factor (Ryan O’Reilly) got a lot of heat for his comments at the end of the year, but it’s not fun coming to the rink when you’re losing, especially year after year and it’s draining and even like today, we didn’t skate yesterday so I was excited to come to the rink and get back to work with these guys. We have such a great group of guys in this room and it’s fun to go to war with them every day.”’
