For now,what the goaltender needs is to build up his confidence, and in that sense, itmay be very good for him to be training with Team B. Right now, he's not facingthe team's top offensive weapon, and after Friday's practice he said:
It wentwell this summer, so I felt ready when I got to camp. The first two days wentwell. Today I gave up just two goals in the whole practice, both to Florian, but I feel good, and as I said, I don't want to think too much about what's coming. I want to come to work every day, and we'll see what happens.
It comesback to what I said: I don't want to think ahead to when the season will start.We still have a couple of weeks before then, so I want to work, try to do thingsthe right way and give myself the best odds. I've got a role to earn; we know thatlast year it didn't go well. So it's a new start; I want to come to work and dothings the right way.
