Yeah Keith knows about playing in Canada, and a couple months removed from sitting in the stands amongst the fans to see Game 7 OT winner and BOA, and part of that Canadian atmosphere for playoff hockey and hockey in general…and going on stage in a parking lot in playoffs with his family to adoring fans because of his son.
He knows that no matter what and how far Florida gets in Matthew’s time there, even if it’s to the cup, that the fanbase and overall atmosphere in Florida will never match the playoff (and reg season) time he and the family spent in Calgary.
Players have to be pumped. They all had relationships for years with JG and MT and now they have players to fill in those holes quickly, and a GM backing the team up who can pull this and future moves off to keep the team in the current window with Darryl.
