NHL ENTRY DRAFT

June 24, 2000

Brett Krahn

BRENT KRAHN: I think so. I think they're realizing goaltenders are key to any team. If you have a good team and not a good goaltender, you're going to labor up there. ...(Inaudible). They really kept their teams in the game and they led them to the playoffs. I think that's the key to today's game.

BRENT KRAHN: It's really exciting. Calgary is a great city. I love the people here. I was extremely ecstatic when I got chosen. I almost hit the roof. It's unbelievable. I can't wait for training camp. The fans are great. I look up, they're all standing and cheering. It's unbelievable. Words can't describe it.

BRENT KRAHN: It was great. They're all great people.

He's told me to speak slower for all you guys. (Laughter.)

BRENT KRAHN: For sure. I was really excited when the Flames picked me. I'm aware of their situation currently in goal. I was really excited to come to a team like this. I know they have the availability to practice a lot in the next few years. I'm going to work hard for it. Hopefully, I'll be a Flame in the next two or three years. I'm excited. There's a lot of great goaltenders in the WHL and a lot of great goaltenders coming up. It means a lot, and I'm really excited.

BRENT KRAHN: For sure. He played junior hockey in my hometown. I wasn't able to watch him. I knew he played junior hockey in my town and, you know, watching him in Canada and watching him play for the Blackhawks, he's my favorite goaltender. I love his intensity, the way he plays the game. I love his love for the game. I love the way he plays the game.

BRENT KRAHN: I think so. This year I really paid attention to how they worked in the NHL and how they practiced. I took a lot from their work ethic. Knowing some of the Flames already, I know it's going to be hard -- the guys are teaching me how hard it is to make it to the League, how hard you have to work. I've had a great time; I've learned lots from it, so it's been great.
