Colin Chaulk 1:29

Yeah, it sure was. You know what, the front office, Justin Fosbender, Ryan Holt, all the staff here, puts all those specialty games together was there was a ton of energy in the building and the lightsabers out and it really I mean it it's a big deal here in Condorcetown so a great job by the front office and you know the players came out really really hard so it was a fun night and you also beat the evil empire the Calgary Wranglers won nothing where do you want to start with this one let's talk about the guy who got the shout out how's he looking Picks was awesome. We did a pretty good job in front of him. Early on, Ragula got just a four-minute minor from just playing hard and he ended up getting a stick up in the air.

Colin Chaulk 2:16

And then Mason Millman, under zero... One got away from him and he shot into the stands. And next thing you know, we're down five on three for a full two minutes. And Picks made a few saves. James Hamill, the big shot block, and they were able to get out of that gunscape. So after that, he settled right in. And he was really, really good. You see, it was, you know, I talked to him after the game. I said, I was... It was the old picks that, you know, that I've seen. So it took him a little bit to, you know, to probably get his head and his body, you know, in the right spot. And, you know, we're just happy for him and the team and his family for him to have the showing he did.

Bryn Griffiths 2:58

Hey, Colin, like a lot of good netminers, they like to be busy. So I'm guessing you kept him pretty busy over that span.

Colin Chaulk 3:05

Yeah, I sure did on the penalty kill there. Yeah, and then, you know, we ended up... Our penalty kill actually was the story of the game going 7%. Not a recipe for success. You know, a couple of retaliatory ones as well. You know, so that's something that... We need to be sharper on, but PK squad and goaltender was exceptional. So happy for that. Happy for those two points. As you know, this time of year, they're hard to come by.

Bryn Griffiths 3:32

Absolutely. Get the points while you can. So a week off. I hate to say a week off because I know you're busy. There's all the coaching. You get a chance to do that, which is great. But you've got Texas up next this weekend. So what are you working on this week before those games?

Colin Chaulk 3:45

Just keeping an attack mindset. This team has just been built off pressuring the puck, getting up in people's faces. And then what's happening sometimes is teams are trying to play in behind us. What are we doing about that when they do? So that's been the focus today, trying to keep just our excitement level at a high pace. And as coaches, really the best chance we have to do that is in practice. So we've had a couple of good weeks here at practice and two important home games versus Texas this week.
