Blashill on Win Over Wild | Chicago Blackhawks

Frank had his first hattick today. I know it’s preseason, but how great is that for him? No, it was good. Actually, I just thought, you know, some sometimes guys score and they play fine. I thought he played really good tonight. He deserved uh uh the opport the goals he got and I think he created more opportunities. I thought he was really really skating. It’s it was a probably another level than than where he’s been at and and it’s more the level that I think uh that has led to his success uh you know, through the course of the end of last year into uh into into the World Championships. And so I think it was great for him to be skating at that level. That’s a sign of good things to come. Uh what did you think about Drew Kesso’s performance tonight? I thought Drew played good. You know, I think Drew I’ve watched Drew a lot as he was coming up uh at the US national program. Played for a good friend of mine, Seth Apert, and uh you know, Drew is a good goalie. He’s uh he’s generally does a really good job of um doing a kind of taking up the net. Uh he’s very efficient in how he plays, makes people beat him, and I thought he did a real good job of that tonight. Uh, you know, especially we got a little bit hairy at times in the in the third period especially, and I thought he he held his held his net really well. And what did you think of the young defenseman core tonight? Yeah, it was good. Um, you know, I thought uh uh there’s there’s always going to be ups and downs and there’s going to be learning opportunities in in in games like this. That’s what the preseason’s for anyways. And and I think when you have a young Decore, um, you know, that’ll be the the the story through the course of the season. They they do some really good stuff and then there’s some things that we got to learn and continue to get better at, but that’s okay. That’s what uh uh that’s what growth is for and and so you know we understand that and um let’s keep putting positions to
