ok pwhl minnesota updates that you might’ve missed

- 4th round pick brooke mcquigge signed a two year deal in sweden with modo hockey so it’s unlikely she plays in the pwhl this year (x)

- camp invites were extended to former players brooke bryant and claire butorac (x)

- in addition reserve goalie lauren bench and former all american slu/gopher goalie lucy morgan were given camp invites (x) (x)

- charlotte akervik, minnesota states all time points leader for a defender + former usa camp invitee was also given a camp invite (x)

- kaleigh fratkin might (?) be headed to minnesota’s training camp based on boston’s competition at defender (x)

- dominque kremer signed in sweden with the sde hf (x)

- first three picks were all given two year contracts, meaning dominique petrie (r5), mae batherson (r6), and katy knoll (r7) are the draft picks that remain unsigned to any team

- clair degeorge was given a training camp invite to montreal this year, and has taken it, meaning it’s unlikely she signs with minnesota (x)

- this leave sydney brodt as the only member that had a contract that seemingly has no (confirmed) future plans

- so far, nine forwards and five defenders are under contract, and i would believe that means more training camp invites are underway

perhaps i am silly and stupid …. why would they not make kaleigh fratkin an alternate captain for pwhl boston… bc now all the captains are only previously pwhpa players with No phf representation….. and she literally wore the A for the pride………..

Courtney Kessel back at it with the iconic facial expressions

My favorite parts from Boston's post-game press interviews after PWHL Finals Game 2

[You can find the entire interview here! Be sure to give them some views/likes/nice comments. Her channel is great and needs more love.]

At the table were Courtney Kessel, Hilary Knight, and Kaleigh Fratkin.

Transcriptions of my favorite bits [and a picture of a reporter who was dressed like a watermelon and/or strawberry] under the break.

------------------------------

------------------------------

REPORTER: Coach, can you talk to us about what they told you about the disallowed goal?

COURTNEY KESSEL: Uh, yeah. They just said the whistle blew before the puck went in the net.

R: Did you hear the whistle?

CK: Yeah...so I think the whistle blew too early.

------------------------------

------------------------------

REPORTER: The power play’s been something that’s been talked about all season and pretty sure it’s been January since you last scored a power play goal at home. Is there anything you guys can do- in the mind to change for these last two or three games?

COURTNEY KESSEL: Yeah, I mean obviously something has to change. We did a few things throughout the year, but I mean, at the end of the day it’s gonna be the death of us if we can’t put a puck in the net on our power play.

------------------------------

------------------------------

REPORTER: For Hilary and for Kaleigh, what’s been different about this [audio/video suffered a malfunction here and it picks up a couple seconds later] something also that’s been different for you guys in terms of adjustments and preparation?

HILARY KNIGHT: Definitely. I think the recovery’s a little bit different. You know, it’s everyone’s first having this type of contact, having this deep of a playoff run, having 5-on-5 played fully out like a true game should be at this point in the season. So I think you’re just maintaining and doing what you can to help the team in different scenarios and really taking care of yourself. Obviously I think when we look forward into next year you’d probably prepare a little bit differently with the rigors of the schedule. But right now it’s just go time. Continuing to show up and be hungry every single day like this team has been.

------------------------------

------------------------------

REPORTER: For Hilary, after the start you guys seemed like you had flow going offensively especially. Did you feel that? And then what do you think happened tonight?

HILARY KNIGHT: Yeah, I don’t think we played a bad game at all. I think they were just able to capitalize on a couple of our errors there. So it’s unfortunate that we couldn’t find the back of the net, because Aerin Frankel stands on her head every single night for us. People are stepping up into different positions, it’s just great to have everyone activate in this game and we just didn’t find the back. And we’re going to work on that moving forward.

------------------------------

------------------------------

REPORTER: I asked the last time about slow starts, tonight you guys got off to a really hot start, 6 shots before the turnover led to a goal, but then the rest of the game kinda got slow. How are you gonna try to keep those shot totals up going forward?

[I highly recommend that if you watch nothing else, then you watch this part, because Coach Kessel looks like she wants to slap this dude so hard.]

COURTNEY KESSEL: I don’t think the game got slow at all. I actually thought it got faster and back-and-forth, full ice. I thought it was a great game. They capitalized and we didn’t. You can’t come into a championship thinking you’re just gonna sweep, so we’re ready for a battle and that’s what we saw tonight.

------------------------------

------------------------------

REPORTER: Coach, did you think that once you guys got down by two, did you like the chances that you were getting, especially on the power play? And in that push the energy that your team had towards the end of the game?

COURTNEY KESSEL: Yeah, I thought we battled to the end. And I think we saw that at the end of our season we’re fighting to get into playoffs and we’re fighting for every second. So we’re going to continue to see that out of our group. I think that our hope is that at some point our power play can put a puck in the back of the night, right? Like, when you get a chance that late in the game and you’re down two, you really need that to go in. But we never gave up. So I think that’s the most important thing.

------------------------------

------------------------------

REPORTER: [audio/video drops at the start of the question and it picks up mid-question] ...This playoff is a bit of a mental reset and a kind of a change to the mentality of the rest of the series.

COURTNEY KESSEL: Like I said, I don’t think that we ever think that we’re gonna sweep through the playoffs. I think that’s very unrealistic. And if that’s our mentality then we’re most likely not going to be successful. So yeah, it could be a reset, just a reminder of like, we faced adversity all season, so here we are again. It’s 1-1. And this is what everyone looks forward to: good hockey in the playoffs.

I don't know if this reporter was trying to dress like a strawberry/watermelon...but that's certainly where he ended up. And if the reporters are wearing stuff like this then they need to start doing reporter walk-ins, because this seems like information I want to have.
