GM/Coach Eugene Yip walked up to the podium…
Eugene: Thank you all for coming, first of all I would like to congratulate the Puffin and Mr. Wolter for building an incredible team and playoff run. This is one of the most competitve playoff that I can remember, every team can easily had a run for the cup.
Reporter 1: Can you tell us how are you feeling getting sweep 4-0 in the final and the error you made by not knowing Gibson is ineligible for playoff.
Eugene: I believe my team has tried their best and they have certainly play my “defense first” style of play through out the season. Our defenese just simply outmatched by Puffin’s fire power in the finals. Letang and Price’s injuries in Game 1 and game 2 are a huge lost. This season is actually year 3 of our rebuilding and anything more than making the playoff is a bonus for our team. I take full responsibility of Gibson ineligibility to play in the playoff and I also thanks Bryzgalov for agreeing to sign a emergency contract with us.
Reporter 2: What is your plan for the off season?
Eugene: Draft wise, we don’t have a lot of draft picks but we will try to bring in the best available forwards that we see fits to the team. We’ve pretty certain we would resign Giordano, he is big part of our defence core, and we will see if we can trade the rights of Marleau and Henrik Sedin. We will also be looking to aquire a backup goalie to share the price with Price and Gibson next season.
Reporter 1: Is their anything we can look forward to next season?
Eugene: Next season we will have new comer like Dylan Larkin, Martinook and Bigras ready to play in CCHL. Also we think that Barkov, Pastrnak, Monahan and Gaudreau will be mature enough to be a big part of our team with Sedin and Marleau leaving us next season. Chinook’s future is bright with Werenski, Provorov, Konecny ready to step in in a few season.
Reporter 3: Any particular team that caught your attention?
Eugene: Siberia Icecats will be a scary team to play against in a few years with Bennett, McDavid, Parayko, Kylington, Ehlers all gradulating soon from the minors, they are couple defensemen and a good goalie away from becoming a serious contender.
Eugene: Thank you for everyone’s time and we will meet again in the training camp next season.
