Huberdeau is starting to irritate me in how he plays in the defensive zone. Something I've noticed every game is that he hesitates about just going below the hash marks if the puck is there. He instead starts to take off and expect a pass. No other forward on the Flames does this. I haven't really seen a Flame play like this since the days of Iginla. What are you doing man. just backcheck the way you're supposed to.

He made a comment the defensive zone has been a bigger adjustment for him going from zone coverage to man to man. He might still be struggling with that but if it was that big of an issue I think the coach would have sat him by now.
