Huska interview:
Worst loss of a season Saturday. The team was emotionally involved in the Utica game, and lost all energy and push when Griffins put them down by 2 goals.
Disappointed they couldn't get the crowd involved in the Griffins game as it was a huge crowd. Would have been like having a 7th player on the ice and they didn't get to use that. Want to get that back on track.
Veteran players need to show the younger guys how to care for themselves for the long stretch coming up. 10 games in 19 nights and the guys need to do a good job recovering after games and getting rest. Leaders need to leader to make sure players are ready to go.
Spurgeon impressed in camp and he is a pro. They are excited to have him on the team. Expect an honest effort. He gives them the ability to roll 4 lines against Hamilton.
Flames need to play with the pace of Hamilton. Bulldogs are a fast team and they need to compete and make them use their pace against them. If Flames play slow or dump and chase, Bulldogs will make them pay.
Flames need to have better shifts after scoring. They need to go back out with the same push and be solid. Too many quick opponent goals after Flames goals and it needs to change.
