Carolina Hurricanes' forward Andrei Svechnikov, who missed the entire 2023 playoffs, said he is excited to be part of the team's playoff run this year.
Yeah, definitely. Uh, you know, it was tough fun last year. Couldn't play in playoff and help, uh, help to the boys, you know, and, uh, obviously it's exciting, uh, it's been a long season kind of, uh, you know, even I played the 59 or 60 games, something like that. But, uh, it's been still a long season and, uh, we've been kind of waiting for this, like last month probably. Is there a feeling that this is the best group you guys have put together? Well, yeah. Uh, you know, it does, obviously, I feel like every year, like you feel very and very kind of, to be honest. Uh, but, uh, this is definitely the group. Uh, we kind of never had it, you know, before and, uh, we got the, all the skill, uh, all the talent and the tea m and, uh, you know, we know we can do this. I just, uh, give it to us, you know, if you will or not allow it, you know, I love it here. And, uh, you know, it's kind of my, uh, my game. I like to play physical as well. But, uh, you know, we'll see you first. Sure. Here. I don't care. Uh, I don't care at all. Uh, whatever it takes, you know, I will, I will do it. How are you feeling? Personally? I know maybe a slower build back after the surgery and went on. How do you feel at this point in the great, uh, she, uh, you know, the best shape ever been, to be honest, you know, I feel, uh, confident, feel, uh, in the best shape and, uh, you know, light on the ice here today, I felt pretty good and, uh, you know, I gotta move that, uh, conference and, uh, that, uh, game, uh, to the playoff for sure. Is there a point in the last couple of months where you really started to feel that you were kind of getting to that point back to being fully healthy, fully feeling good, I think. Yeah, I mean, I always felt, uh, healthy, to be honest but, uh, just lost, I guess 65 games. I felt, uh, pretty good, you know, about my game and, uh, you know, I just got to stick with that. What about the Islanders? Uh, does this team have to be especially prepared for, uh, if they have to be you, what, what things do you have to do? Well, to be ready for the Islanders? Yeah, I mean, uh, uh, I don't know, really, to be honest because, uh, we try to not focus on them, you know? Just focus on our game. Like I said, we, we know we can do this and, uh, we got the, the best t I feel like, and, uh, we just, uh, it's all about us, you know, we gotta go there and play our game. We, like, we played in a season and the, the system, you know, continue to do that and, uh, you know, put the four track on them and, uh, try to handle those pucks every time.
