Michalek arról mit mondott neki havlat Ottawáról: "Marty told me a lot about Ottawa," Michalek said. "I asked him what it was like here and he told me a lot of great things, about all the guys he played with here, the fans being awesome, and he introduced me to some of his friends. He didn't give me particular advice on how to play. I know what I have to do -- be relaxed, play hockey and have fun."

Respect Martinnak is, kár hogy nem maradt.

Michalek is up for the challenge and wants to send a clear message to Senators Nation.

"I know I will work as hard as I can every shift," Michalek said. "I want to be as useful as I can for the team and do anything possible to earn the win. I know the fans love hockey here and everybody knows a lot about the game. If I have a bad game during the long season, I will have to get over it, but I'm always going to do my best and work hard.

"I would love to be used in all situations. Last year I was used on the power play as well as killing penalties, and I loved it. If I can play both here, it would be awesome. But I will give everything I have no matter what role I am given on this team."

Hát hajrá :-)
