00:00On Quinn, we've seen his goal totals kind of climb the last couple years,
00:05up to 20 last season, and he's got two now in two games.
00:09And I don't know, is there more confidence?
00:11Are you seeing more from him?
00:12What do you view as the ceiling for Jack Quinn, 25 years old?
00:15And he's shown a lot of ability to score.
00:18Yeah, I think he's got a lot of confidence in his game right now.
00:23And in reality, he probably should have three or four.
00:26But with the number of chances he's created, he's skating well.
00:31He's a stronger player than he was a couple years ago.
00:33And I think that's showing on the ice.
00:35He's a better skater than he was a couple years ago.
00:38And I think he's getting rewarded for that.
00:41Night in, night out, he's creating some of his own chances,
00:44which that escapability is a sign of an elite player that can either score on his own at times
00:52or he gets himself in the right place.
00:54And we know that, you know, usually when he gets himself in a great scoring position,
00:58he's got a good shot.
00:59So I think he's a guy that could really take off for us.
01:03Yeah.
01:03Leaving the arena the other night, Lindy, the amount of people I heard saying,
01:06like, oh, he could have had three or four on that night.
01:08It was a lot.
01:10That line also has been together, I think, pretty much since the start of camp.
01:14What have you liked from that trio together, Oslin with Benson and Quinn?
01:19Well, when you look at, you know, chances created versus chances given up,
01:24they've had a high margin on the positive side where they've really created a lot of really good opportunities
01:29and fueled a lot of our offense.
01:31So I think coming back on their own end, the way they played on their own end has been good.
01:38You know, as I said earlier, we need overall as a team to just improve our puck support in our
01:44own zone as a group.
01:47But that line has supported the puck well, got the puck out of their own end.
01:50They don't get trapped very often, and they're scoring big goals.
01:53I'm going to touch on it.
