Game Quote by T. J. Oshie
“I get all my scoring chances from the forecheck, from the backcheck, putting pressure on guys and taking away the opposition's time and space. I just never realized that until I watched some game tape. They're usually off turnovers. That made me want to check harder after seeing that.”
