— I’m happy to be in these playoffs, very happy to be part of the team. Two great teams go against each other, and I’m just trying to do my part, trying to help my team win. I’m thankful to God for having this opportunity – to play in this game, this overtime, for so long, I appreciate it, – Bobrovsky quotes Bally Sports .
