Huska Interview:
Flames came out strong in the 1st period and had good jump to start the last game. First goal took the wind out of the sails. That's the type of hockey they will need to play going forward, it's going to be a fight.
Players forced the puck movement too much after the first goal. When they do have the puck, the guys without the puck need to have more stride and less glide. More work away from the puck from players without it needed.
Want players to play loose, not overthink the game. Players are trying to force too much.
Sieloff's play has stepped up in the last few games. He played physical up front and he generated alot of energy when he moved back to defence. He's playing within himself better and player a stronger and physical game.
Poirier was quiet in his first game back. Expect 3-5 shots per night, need to use speed, need to be engaged. He needs to give more, he's gone up to the NHL so they expect more. They look to him to generate offense. He needs to raise the level and be the best player on the best at both sides of the ice.
Have been in the position where they know what's on the line. Have to play as a team and not worry about what's going on around them.
