I am an entrepreneur. I build things. I am not afraid of risk. I am going fail sometimes, but if I fail it will only because I didn’t get it done not because someone put me in a box and said you really shouldn’t do that because you don’t have the capability. I am at my core an entrepreneur and filmmaking is entrepreneuring.

Among goaltenders to make their NHL debut since 1955-56, only one netminder has more career regular-season saves than Luongo (28,409): all-time wins leader Martin Brodeur (28,928).

I would probably look to draft a centerman as a replacement down the road. I think that [Jack] Studnicka is a player who has offensive attributes. We’re going to see him be a pro this year and develop. He won’t be rushed along. He’s got areas of his game he needs to continue to evolve and get stronger. Again, Frederic is another centerman, so we have depth within the organization, but it’s hard to replace those guys. Those guys are elite, elite hockey players and have been such for a long period of time. Generally, you have to select them, draft them, develop them and put them in there and let them grow.

Seven players from USA Hockey's Under-18 team from the National Team Development Program were selected among the top 15 picks at the 2019 NHL Draft, the most ever from one team at that stage of the draft. Eight NTDP players went in the first round overall.

A brief day to day look ba Stanley Cup champion.

We feel comfortable on the road. We feel we played well, especially in the second half of the year. It's not an easy building to play in. Still got a job to do whether it's at home or on the road.

I thought that was the easiest way to win a game, focus on team defense, do your job, trust the guy beside you, not worry about the scoring aspect or pressuring yourself. We have good players, eventually someone is going to step up, that's what we felt happened last night, that same formula.

It's game to game for me. We really try to use everybody. I think that's how we're built. That's how we've had the most success, is by using everybody, getting everybody involved. I always talk about our best attribute is our team, our team play. By that we use everybody. I don't see any difference going forward here. We need everybody's best game.
