"It was direct. It was pretty easy, I would say, for your brain to get back on track. Get back to knowing your routes, touches, where you want to be position-wise, system-wise, not thinking too much out there. Playing fast. I mean, if you look at the Stanley Cup champion in the past two years - they're the fastest team in the league, they play a super-aggressive style, and I think a lot of teams try to copy that.
