Recently, the NHL star appeared in an interview that was posted on the YouTube channel, Glovey McGlovin. Anthony Beauvillier said in the interview that he had mixed emotions about the next game.

There was much surprise at Bo Horvat’s move. Even if they aren’t in the best of form, the Vancouver Canucks aren’t afraid to take chances as they prepare for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Canucks’ fan base shares the dismay of the team’s management. This young NHL player, however, is not letting any of it get in the way of his preparation for his upcoming game against the New York Islanders.
In the interview, Anthony Beauvillier says, “Yeah, I every time I start thinking about it I don’t really let myself do it so I’ll just try to enjoy the moment tomorrow. I mean obviously, there’s a game tonight but I will enjoy the moment tomorrow and you know like I said like first time I’m gonna go through this but it’s gonna be great I mean seeing everyone one last time and turning the page. I feel like it’s kind of a blessing the skies that I get to turn the page that quickly so will be fun I think.”
