5/26 Seattle Kraken Quotables: Will Borgen

The Seattle Center Enjoyed The Physicality Of The Playoffs

Looking Back On 2022-23: "I think we can be happy with ourselves. It was a really good year for us compared to where we were last year. Getting to the playoffs was our first goal.

"Playoffs is more intense and there's definitely more physicality, so they're fun games to play in. We did our best and came up short, but it was fun. All the older guys say you've got to experience losing too, to win."

Defense Pairing With Jamie Oleksiak: "Pretty exciting for me, my first full year in the NHL.

"They put a lot of trust in us, playing against some of the top lines on other teams, so it's hard, but he's a beast. We're both pretty defensive and it just worked out well."

Has Matty Beniers Grown As A Roommate?: "Not much. (Laughter.) No, he was a great roommate. We had a lot of fun together this year. He's learning every day. I mean, I am still, too."

Status As A Restricted Free Agent: "I'd love to be back here. I don't really know how that whole side of it works. I'm not big into it, but I'd love to be back here."
