Jourdon LaBarber talked about Victor Antipin's assimilation into American and NHL life.
"He's a student of the game," Sabres coach Phil Housley said. "He really absorbs a lot, likes to watch a lot of video trying to understand our concepts. He's like a sponge."
Prior to camp, Antipin spent time with assistant coach Chris Hajt learning the subtleties of Housley's system and the North American game in general. Hajt said the sessions were arranged to prevent information overload once on-ice activity began.
"We identified it as something important for him, coming from Russia and making sure he understands what's going on so he can just concentrate on playing," Hajt said. "We didn't want him to see it for the first time on the first day of camp. It'd be very overwhelming. So we kind of got ahead of it and made sure to explain to him how we're going to play and his role within that system."
