Huska Interview:
Posts were frustrating at the end of the game. Liked the 1st and 3rd period were good by the Flames, 2nd was disappointing. Felt they deserved at least a point the way they played.
Boys wanted to keep pushing despite posts. Guys wanted a goal, kept pushing for a goal, were extremely disappointed they couldn't get the goal to end the game. They worked hard for it, wanted to see that reward.
Expects Griffins to play with alot of pace. Very similar to the Detroit Red Wings. Has a great shooter in Pulkkanien. Plays a similar style to Adirondack with pace so should be a good game.
Coached Callahan in WHL. Glad to see him get some success. Hope he does well along the way, except tonight.
Faceoffs were terrible last night until the last 5 minutes. Still need to improve. Knight was the key centre and relied on. Arnold needs to step up. As does all centre's and winger support.
Couldn't bring in an extra guy with the short notice, so they decided on Ramage. The positive thing with him is he said he'd do whatever was needed to do. Happy to play RW. Expects him to have some struggled, but intelligent player who skates well.
Setoguchi cannot be the saviour that comes in and saves them. That's not the plan with him. He hasn't played alot of minutes in awhile, they expect him to play alot of minutes. He needs to work on game around the net and that's what they will do. Expects him to show some leadership as he has the experience in the NHL. Has a great attitude about being sent to the AHL, great attitude already in the room, they expect him to fit in well.
