Huska Interview:
On the streak - Not much attention paid to the streak. Focused on how they are playing. Players are proud of how they are playing. Challenge for guys is to stay even. Guys are doing a good job of this.
Adjustments to the game - Need to forecheck harder. Need to work on defending, giving up good chances. Defend faster, support closer to the puck, less time in own zone. Likes things done on other area's of the ice.
Comebacks/Resiliency - Love that part of the group. Guys don't roll over. Finding ways to win, sometimes not pretty but they claw the win out. Paints a picture of leadership in the room. Older guys making sure kids are always competing.
Reinhart - He's playing with more pace to his game. Great skating. They want the Max Reinhart of the last two games where he's fast and shifty. His skating and game have improved since returning from Flames. Want him to stick with it and the bounces will go his way. He's taking the shots, making the plays, will get rewarded at some point with goals.
Playing Utica Comets - Play up tempo game and good back end. Flames have made some improvements since the last time they played. Expecting smart and intelligent hockey.
Favorite Arena - Likes the old rinks like Utica. It's a circular rink, don't see it anymore. Enjoys the warmth of the new arena's in the coaches office. Can appreciate both the new and old arena's.
