While speaking to Amazon Prime ahead of tonight's game against Calgary, Carlo spoke on the fanbase and just how amazing they are.
«You know, it feels good. At first, it was a little bit of a shock. I wasn't really expecting it to be true. Overall, since I got here, you know, hockey guys-hockey guys, they're the best. So, coming into this room, it's been very welcoming. I'm very proud to be wearing this sweater as well.
The fan base is very cool. For me to hear about it throughout the league, just the passion and how involved they get, is incredible. And to be living out this dream is pretty cool, so I'm excited for the opportunity.»
