Whose career highs are we talking about that are always used to defend Huska?
Coleman hitting 30 goals? His shooting percentage was 15.7% that year vs 10% career average. That was Huska,? If so then why 15 goals last year and in pace for 20 this year (with no assists).
Kadri hitting 35 goals? Beat his career high by 3, was down 20 points on his career high and had his second ever worst +/- at -17.
Huberdeau had his best year since coming to Calgary, but he's light years off his career highs.
Wegar had a 20 goal seas with a shooting percentage 78% above his career average.
Sharangovic had 31 goals with a shooting percentage 4 points above his career average and along with a solid -29.
You can say younger players hit career highs, but they have little history to compare to.
Coleman, Sharangovich and Weegar are more than a full season removed from those totals and are nowhere close to repeating them. All under Huska.
So basically we are saying Huska is a great coach because of three shooting percentage heaters that were not repeated. A 3 goal career high bump for Kadri while down 20 points and -17, and Huberdeau being improved.
Seems like quite a bit of unrepeatable luck and two slight improvements being used to heap praise on Huska.
