"Probably a lot. He might be the cool guy today, saying it is going to be just another night, but for sure, he is going to be nervous and excited. I am glad we have him. He has been outstanding. He has just been getting better and better. He is the first guy in and the last guy out. He is already acting like a leader, to be honest with you. Overall, as a kid, a hockey player, and a leader already, it is very impressive."
"I really liked him in the preseason. He is a worker. He has the ability to score goals, but that is not why he is here. We just want him to play with details and structure, and that is kind of what I liked about him. He gives you everything he has every night, and as a coach, that is always good to know."
"They probably had a bit of a slower start, but if you look at them now, they are back to the identity of the way they want to play. It is going to be a challenging night for us, especially with a few guys out, but I am confident that we can hang in there with the way we are playing right now. It is definitely going to be a big one, for sure."
Both teams enter the game on winning streaks as the Boston Bruins visit the Toronto Maple Leafs. Bruins coach Marco Sturm praises former Leaf Fraser Minten for leadership, work ethic, and rapid improvement, calling him the first in and last out. Sturm describes call-up Alex Steeves as a hard worker with scoring ability who must play with details and structure. Steeves says he is happy to be in Boston, not seeking revenge, and values his four years in Toronto while pursuing new opportunities. Sturm warns the matchup will be challenging as the Leafs have regained their identity despite a slow start.
