Happy Thursday. Welcome into the CHGO Blackhawks podcast. I'm Jay Zawoski. That's Mario Tirbossi.

Sarah's here running the show as well. Sarah, Sarah, have a convention for you. We have worked together for like three years, and I never say your last name because I'm not sure how to say it. Fictor. Fictor. That's what I thought, but I didn't want to say it wrong on the show after all these years, so I'm finally clearing the air. Fictor. Fictor. I will now say your last name on the show. I get it all the time. I get every version you ever thought of. So that's the most common one I'll get. It's the C.H. It's German. That's all I really know about it. Yeah, I know my whole dad's side is mostly Italian and German and then my mom's side Irish, but obviously I have my last name from my father. Fichter. There it is. Now I know. See? What's your vector, Victor?

Confession Thursday. Anybody else want to confess anything? You're good? You're holding on

yours for now? I'll hold on now. All right. In due time, you will learn my deepest, darkest secrets.

Ooh, spicy. That sounds like an off-season show.

All right.

Thanks for being with us.

We've got a lot to get to today.

So, as I said in the cold open, if you missed it, this team was very much divided into two groups today.

There was the very definitive NHL team, the very definitive HL team, Kevin Korkinski,

Nolan Allen, Nick Lardis, were probably the three most noteworthy on the AHL team, Kevin Korkinski, Nolan Allen, Nick Lardis,

for probably the three most noteworthy on the AHL team.

We also talked to Jeff Blaschell today about implementing new systems, how he's going to

approach the preseason, and we talked to Nick Lardis and Kevin Korkinski about adjusting

to new systems.

So lots of good stuff to get to before we do.
