Preseason 2025 | Mitchell Chaffee

Chief, just thoughts on the way this preseason ended. I mean, yeah, obviously we wanted to come in here and and win uh we wanted to go undefeated, but that didn’t happen obviously tonight. So, uh got some good work done with our PK and you know, we’ll look forward to the first game. Is it possible with the way these last few games have gone that the rivalry is even enhanced between these two teams? Um I don’t know. I mean, it’s part of the game. That’s just how it is, you know. It’s a physical game and it’s going to be played that way and that’s how it is. Was that done with intent today just to have the game go that way with the the big hits early on? No, like I said, it’s just hockey, you know, everyone’s hitting each other. That’s a part of the game. It’s a physical game and that’s what comes from it sometimes. You ever seen a game like that? We got like three guys left on the bench. I mean, like I said, it’s a physical game. Like that’s how it ended and that’s how it ended. I don’t know. I think they went four for 17 on the power play or so. So, I don’t know. After a game like tonight, I mean, obviously the last game of the year is usually the last game is just kind of like a dress. So, do you feel that you guys are are a better prepared team for the regular season after something like tonight? Yep, 100%. I think we’re ready for the season. Uh, everyone’s excited for the season and, you know, I think this uh this kind of made us even more ready. How so? You know, we’re a close-knit group and we only got closer because of this and, you know, we got got a lot of practice on special teams, that’s for sure. So, uh, uh, that was good to work on that in the game and, you know, it’s a part of it brings everyone closer.
