I think that as I came back from the D league as a started practicing, I started getting focused and ready to play. I've been going out there working hard, playing hard, being more aggressive and I think that has been the change.
I'm so anxious to play. I've been working hard. It's time for me to test what I've learned.
Anybody in my position would want to stay up here. Right now I'm just working hard every day and trying to stay here. I'm picking up a lot of stuff that way.
The guys told me to stay aggressive and that's what I tried to do. I started to get focused and get ready to play. I've been going out there, playing hard and being more aggressive. That's been the biggest change.
I just played a game. I didn't know what was planned because I didn't know I was going down there until the day before I was leaving.
I'll feel a little different the next time out. I don't know if I'll play, but I've just got to always be ready.
