Bruce Kerlock

You know, he blossomed.

And so he gets credit here, and he should get credit.

He's a different coach, a different coaching staff.

It's a different coaching style, a different focus.

And, you know, as you point out, the results are...

you know, with two kids that are on the, uh, HL rookie team and sure.

Okay.

Isaac Howard, baby could see the path to that.

Quinn Hudson.

I'm sorry, but that's, you know, good on Quinn, but, uh, that, that if anybody asked you at the start of the season, would he be second in rookie scoring and on the all rookie team?

I don't, I don't think there would have been a lot of guys, uh,

you know pining that all right let's uh start with the two guys that uh joined bakersfield in the last week william nickel along with uh tommy lafreniere uh give me your assessment on their performance yeah both stepped in played three games um both started on the same line and uh which was the fourth line and uh

You know, William Nichol, I mean, he is positive chaos on every shift.

And he just stepped in.

And I don't know where he is next year, but he, man, he fits there.

He has a legitimate NHL plus skill, and that's his skating.

And he had AHL defenders who are fast.

who are experienced who you know have seen all of the the the moves that uh young players can uh you know can do and he had them on their heels and scored in this i think first shift of his first game um but really more was just very noticeable in terms of

Turning the puck over in the offensive zone.

You know, great defensive work on backtracks and, you know, playing low in his own zone.
