So in this episode, you know, we're digging into what Canadians GM Kent Hughes had to say this week at his press conference.

And really, more importantly, what it tells us about where this team really is right now and where it's going in the not so distant future.

So we want to break down his comments, comments that he made about the rebuild, comments he made on the progress that we're seeing on the ice.

And in particular, he even talks about specific names like Lane Hudson, Michael Hage, Kirby Dock.

And...

doubtless, we're going to tackle the elephant in the room, which is the current three-goaltender situation and what all of that means for the rest of the season.

So as we go through this, you're going to see that some of his answers...

maybe bring a little clarity to questions that have been kind of bubbling up through the first half of the season.

Some of his answers raise new questions.

And so trying to kind of interpret all of that, read between the lines and just react to what he had to say is exactly where we're going to start today's big topic.

And Rick, I guess...

kind of the natural place to go first would be Kent Hughes talking about the reasons why he is impressed with his team so far this season.

We've talked about how successful they've been, where they are currently sitting in the standings, this great run that they've been on.

So is Kent Hughes impressed with his club so far this season?

So the flip side of that has to be, are there things that he is still concerned about?

That's right.

We just talked in the previous segment about what a phenomenal tournament at the world juniors that Michael Hage had.

We have spoken repeatedly on the show through his freshmen and, and now half of his sophomore campaign with Michigan about how it just lights out.

He has been in NCAA play.

We've been saying, when is he coming?
