Givani Smith has been writing a blog for NHL.com. This entry discusses his off-season. It’s a good read, and it looks like he has a good attitude for where he is in his career.
If it doesn't happen out of camp, if I go back to Grand Rapids this season, first I want to dominate the AHL, I want to be playing the best hockey I can because I know what I'm capable of doing now in this league (AHL). I've got goals I want to accomplish. If I just so happen to get called up, I'll be really excited because that's something I've always wanted to do, play an NHL game, play in the NHL.
