I'm surprised the number of media wasn't greater, to be honest. Thanks! I'm surprised the number of media wasn't greater, to be honest.

One of my goals for HockeyFest, aside from getting all those interviews (THREE hours of audio!! AAUUGGHH!!!) was to make sure the three of you got to meet all the folks who cover the team regularly, especially since you sorta met most of them on Facebook anyway. Figured that was the least I could do. It was my pleasure! One of my goals for HockeyFest, aside from getting all those interviews (THREE hours of audio!!

It was rather amusing. Yes, basically Connie called Purcell asked if the 30 pounds he gained will effect his skating. It was rather amusing.

Kopitar didn't look as "pudgy" as he has previously. He hasn't exactly bulked up (from what I can tell) but I think he's been working hard this offseason. The almost guarantee was, indeed, funny.

Connie did ask that (not in those words) and got a good chuckle from Helene Elliot herself. Also true about Drew, his new best friend is Chris Pronger, we'll see what new techniques he tries out. In addition, Connie did ask Drew more questions about his complete nutritional intake, his favorite waffle topping and Seinfeld character that is most like him but there simply wasn't room.

First, was it my imagination or did Connie just ask if Purcell is fat and if thats going to effect his speed? Secondly, did I hear that Chris Pronger taught Drew Doughty a few things?

Thanks for the introductions. Great experience just being there in that environment, looking forward to more experiences like that. Yeah, Helene looked pretty much in her zone and didn't want to disrupt that. My only question was who was the crew that was shooting the video and asking the "different" questions? Yes actually.

The highlights to me where the Triple Crown Line and the Bob Miller 1 on 1. My one regret was not chatting with LA Times reporter Helene Elliot in the media room, but she seemed pretty busy.

I do wish we had more interaction with Alumni who attended the first day of festivities. Great episode guys! One month to and really like Kopi and Brownie's commitment and enthusiasm they are bringing this year. Kopi's almost guarantee was funny. No Messier type commitment, but i will accept it. hockeyfest was a lot of fun!! I do wish we had more interaction with Alumni who attended the first day of festivities. Great episode guys!
