Seth Jarvis was asked about the performances from the #Canes' young guys (Nikishin, Stankoven) and if he remembers playing at that age in the Eastern Conference Final.
“I’m only a year older than these guys, man. I don’t know why you think I’m 40…"

"For (my wife and I), we have three kids. You get to see other parts of the city that have just been incredible since day one. The school system, the friends outside of hockey, the people at church, and the grocery store. It's just been awesome... It's a great place to raise a family and to be a part of."

Even with those injuries, he still went on to score 33 goals during the regular season and led the team with five more in the postseason. Not bad.
Why play through instead of taking the time to heal up?

I have a coach that treats me with respect. I've said it before, but I've got all the time in the world for that.
It hasn't been easy this year. It's hard having the patience that I've had to have, but I still enjoy coming to the rink every day. There's been years where I haven't and I've played a lot more.
I'm happy to be here. I love North Carolina. I'm happy to sign on, do it again, and try to help this team win, whatever way that is. We've got a long road ahead of us with a lot of hard hockey. I'm excited to help.
I have faith that my game is going to be important when it counts, so that's why I'm ready to do it this year and next, and hopefully more after that."
