The Tampa Bay Lightning Forward praised its former agent in an interview with TVA Sports on Thursday.

“We are close to him. He was a good friend of my father. Taking the news is not so easy, but we’ll be fine. He can rest in peace. It’s hard to describe, it just makes me nervous. I’m so glad Chris is watching us. ”

If not, the former Sea Dogs are happy to have started this season, accumulating three points in eight games since the campaign began.

“I worked a lot with the coaches in Bubble. When I came to training camp, I wanted to prove to everyone that I was an NHL player. For now, it’s still going well. I started adjusting and had a little more speed with the puck. This is a good start to the season for me and I want to continue like this. ”

As for his successes with his brother Pierre-Oliver Penguins, Matthew Joseph knew it was going to happen sooner or later.

“We talk to each other every day. He is doing a great job. He is not a nervous person in life and as you can see in his game. Honestly, I think he does so well and I can’t be happier for him. “
