I think the key for me this year has been playing with such great linemates ... Playing with Landeskog, and before Steve Downie it was Milan Hejduk. Playing with those guys is a recipe for success. They do all those little things right, and as a center you try and get them the puck and go to the net. The coaching staff has given me an opportunity on the power play, too.
He should be talked about for [the Calder] … I think he's going to be a future captain in this League ... Their line [Landeskog, O'Reilly and Steve Downie] right now is the best line on our team. They're carrying our team. They play as well offensively as defensively.
It's a two-way player; he plays 200 feet of the ice. He leads (San Jose) in hits (137) ... If you look at the element that he brings, along with, starting a week ago, when we added Steve Downie, we're shoring up our offense. Downie, obviously, brings an element of grit and skill, and now with Jamie McGinn, it's just another piece up front that we feel makes us a better hockey team today and in the future as well.More quotes »
