Not sure if it was posted here, but at least Huby admits he's been playing like garbage:

Quote:
After leading the NHL with 85 assists and tying for second with 115 points in 80 games last season, Huberdeau has 33 points (10 goals, 23 assists) in 48 games this season, which is fifth on the Flames.

"My game is different here, the way you've got to play," he said. "I've got to be way better, and I've got to find a way to be way better. That's the adjustment.

"What do we have left, like, [31] games? At this point, [I want to have] a good end of the season, kind of build my confidence back."

...

"It's been tough, obviously, coming off my best season last year, and then you come in here, I've got no points," Huberdeau said with a laugh, not that he found it funny. "So, it's tough. I know I still have it in me. It's not because I can't make plays."

Huberdeau said he has watched video of himself from last season a couple of times to see what he was doing differently. He shot the puck more often (2.78 shots on goal per game compared to 1.65 this season), but he said that's because he had the puck more often. He has always been a pass-first player.

"My strength is, I see the play," Huberdeau said. "But if the play doesn't develop like I want it to, then I get stuck, and then I make a play that I don't want to do, and then I look like [garbage]. It's all that I need to figure out."
