""I mean, we had four defenseman at one point, so the legs got a little tired, but it was a good game. It was fun to play out there," Warren said afterward. "You're a kid and you always want to be out there when you're young, and now you're there and it's like, wow, it's pretty cool. But I wasn't anxious, wasn't nervous. I was just doing my thing.""
"The play itself was simple but sharp: Barzal slipped a pass through traffic and Warren made no mistake, firing home a shot past the Flyers goaltender. "Nothing really [was running through my mind]," Warren said. "Just a good pass by Barzy. He's so good at making those slip plays. I was able to find the back of the net, which was always nice - especially in front of friends and family.""
Marshall Warren, a 24-year-old defenseman from Laurel Hollow, scored a preseason goal off a Mathew Barzal feed during the New York slanders' preseason game. He played in front of family and friends and described the experience as exciting but not anxiety-inducing. Warren noted heavy ice time with four defensemen, which fatigued legs but made the game fun. Barzal delivered a slip pass through traffic that Warren finished past the Flyers' goaltender. Many friends and family attended, though his father was absent. Warren is aiming to make an impact in Bridgeport this season, and the goal carried personal meaning.
