trevor zegras and the ducks after his trade.
telling cam york the january ducks game would “make or break [his] season”
“been looking forward to this game for a long time”
“the team that shoved you out the door”
it felt “fucking amazing” to score two goals against the ducks
“that’s how short the phone call was”
planned out phone call celly: tuck glove under arm to get the hand out so the shape of a phone is visibly seen. skate along the wall so the cameras directly across the rink catch him head on. skate out to make space between him and the other players so the shot and the celly is crystal clear.
mentions the team, the trainers, the fans, the coaches, but not once, not a single time, mention the organization or front office. and why would you? it’s not like the guy who drafted you is there
“the boos are great” they’re booing his former teammate but it’s not about the people on the ice to him it’s the organization.
repeat over and over throughout the season that philadelphia is home, that you’re having the most fun ever, the sports town, the city aspect, he loves philly he loves it here he wants to be here
jamie drysdale saying “it’s z’s stage now” did he know? did they talk about what that first game against the ducks is like?
the second goal celly where it’s not a planned celly, he just slams his stick and screams. a full bodied reaction jaw unhinged skating on one leg because the elation is so overwhelming. why is does it that overwhelming?
at the ducks away game repeating that he loved the fans and their support during his time there. even going out to the parking lot after the game to talk with fans. it’s not about the people it’s about the organization.
quotes about how his previous contract talks were hairy and difficult, the elephant being well, who was he having to negotiate with?
asked what went wrong in anaheim: “you’d have to ask him” and a laugh
“im a different person now”
