      I arrived at the Drouin interview in English late because I was the only person still interviewing Max and got a great little scoop that they’re going to try to duplicate the Drouin to Kucherov cross ice pass through the seam.

      It is completely common to not catch everything in the room as they bring all the players out at the same time.

      We have had Drouin in English many times and always make his sound a priority. This time we made Max a priority as I had a one on one which is my best chance to get something that I can achieve with my line of questioning. As I did.

      The room interviews always has sacrifice in it because of the nature of all of the people at the sane time. For example you are not likely to hear Jeff Petry much. He doesn’t say much so I go to someone with better potential. It has been this way for my 33 years on the locker room.

      I will continue to attempt to get all that I can.

      There will be no full translation of interviews when I nearly always get everything. If anything is said that I missed I will put it in an article and a video and I will scream to the rooftops that an interesting thing was said and you will know of it.
