We were in Section 223 and the players box was for some reason right beside us (usually they're in the media boxes I think?). They were all up there, Cammy, D. Jones, Begin, Jackman, Butler, and all the young guys. Cammy is really short, wow!
I overheard Begin talking at different points to a few of the young guys (couldn't tell who they were), asking them questions, pointing things out on the ice, asking them about the coaching, their career paths, giving them advice. It immediately became clear to me how important this is for a rebuilding organization and why Begin is still with the club. Also clearly Hartley's ears in the dressing room.
