Hello, Colin. How are you doing? Doing excellent, Bob. Thanks for having me on. How about yourself? Good. I watched a large part of the second and all of the third period in your 2-0 victory. Matt Tompkins gave you a really good start goal, didn't he?
Yeah, he was excellent. We didn't give up as much as we gave up the night before, but when there was chances, there was a real big one at the end of the first. Condor, Ty Tullio, actually, and Tommer made a hell of a save to keep it all 1-0.
Yeah, absolutely. James Hamlin. He's having an awesome year for you.
You know how I feel about James Hamlin, Bob.
Yeah. Yeah, 23 goals this year. Kills penalties for you. Doesn't benefit from being on a pretty good power play. Is he on the second unit?
sometimes you know James you know I mean no right now he is but when Szymanski's here no when Rem Pitlick was here at the start of the year no so and we sat him down and said we want to get you back to the NHL and you're not going to be a power play player if you do that and he is just such a pro and he's like okay fine and he just went ahead and scored 25 on 5 and yeah which is which is an amazing total right so it really is it really is yeah um you know but he's he's worked hard and um you know i think a couple years ago right right when stan first came in he was he bulked up a little bit and he did some different things and he and he he slowed down a little bit and james and i've had this conversation he's uh um you know he uh yeah and he had a couple injuries and that kind of stuff so he he's playing
Just absolutely fantastic. And I think when Stan came in, he lost his way a little bit. And hey, you're not going to be incredible every night. And that young man has got a ton of will and a ton of work ethic.
Yeah, all right. How much did you use Josh Szymanski on the penalty kill, by the way, down there, Colm?
He's pretty much Max Jones, James Hamlin, Josh Jemanski, Quinn gets a little bit, and then Daniel DeMotto. Those guys pretty much, it depends on who's hotter on the face-offs, that kind of stuff. But they're pretty much one, two, three, four over the boards.
Who is Colin Chaulk and why is he on the show?
He really tried to build that pride from the PK forwards. So yeah, he gets quite a bit of time.
Well, I mean, you're right there. You're in top four in the Pacific Division. It's a good division with a couple of really good teams. I know you're off to Texas this week. We're joined by Colin Chalk. He's the head coach of the Bakersfield Condors. Equus is Alberta's largest power co-op. Choose community. Choose Equus at EQUS.ca. I mean, you're not scoring easy right now at the start of your season. You had a situation, especially when Howard went down, where Hudson and Howard were just on fire for about three weeks there. But Isaac is still contributing. And Quinn Hudson, after I think he had one goal in 18 games, has got a couple goals here in the last three games.
How did Matt Tompkins perform in the recent 2-0 Condors win?
It's got to bode well for you.
Yeah, both of those guys. I think exactly what you said. It almost came, and it wasn't easy because they were working, they were buzzing. But it came, I think, a little bit easy for both of them in the beginning.
