Huska Interview:
Out of playoff spot now. Reality of situation has set in for awhile with the players. Over the last month and a half the schedule stalled and other teams have caught up in points and games played. They have games to make up and need to get points where they can.
Important to have Wolf back. Brings a physical side of things and works very hard. Sets standard for how the rest of the players play, so they love having him back to motivate the others and bring the standard up.
Needs to make Broissoit work tonight. Need to put pucks in the net and be hungry for rebounds. Broissoit is really good at stopping the first puck and playing it, they need to blind him and get multiple shots.
OKC has a good PP and moves the puck around well. The did it to them in Glen Falls and they don't want a repeat of that tonight.
Lots of ebbs and flows with special teams. If you look at their record, it's a good indicator of where the special teams are. Need to cut down on penalties and work together as a group again on the ice and get it trending in the right direction again.
Not a fan of the Rochester game. Did not see alot of compete in the group for that game. There is a way to play the game and you will be rewarded. They didn't do that. He worked on that with the team and they are moving forward.
Ortio needs to make more saves, challenged him to be the best player and steal more games for them. The Iowa and Rochester ones were not good enough and he needs to do better.
