“A new celly for me.” “It felt good,” the Swede said. “It was an elite play by an elite player,” said Keefe. “I was a little surprised. “He’s attacking the net. Great plays and happy to finish them off.” When I’m out there, my goal is to be out of my mind and in my vision and just really in the moment. I especially feel like I’ve had a lot of growth in the past year.” But, I like it today.” The biggest save of the night for me was right after we made it 2-0.
