Al Koken: Well, Nick, you've been with Alex longer than anyone else, how much fun is it to be part of these big nights?
Nicklas Backstrom: Yeah, I mean, it's amazing. I mean, what he accomplishes every night, milestones like this that we're gonna celebrate tonight, it's obviously a lot of fun. We're so happy for him.
Al Koken: I know you're part of the guys, one of the guys who helped select the gift tonight. Without telling us what it is, how tough is it to shop for a guy who's got a lot of things already?
Nicklas Backstrom: (smiles) He's got a lot of things but I think we came up with a nice little thing for him and hopefully he'll remember that forever.
Al Koken: You're wearing a 8 tonight as well, does it put a couple extra mile an hour on your slapper?
Nicklas Backstrom: I mean, hopefully. (smiles) I'm just hoping to get some magic from number eight tonight.
Nicke's total confidence here, like, "Oh yeah. I know exactly what kind of bling he likes. I mean, I'm still gonna make it kinda tasteful but I got this." That is a man who knows he can get some magic from eight any night he wants.
