Post-Game | Ryan Huska – 01.11.25

ask what uh what stands out about the game obviously your fight back in the third but what sticks most out to you um overall gamewise like we you know at times during games we we get in our own way that’s the hard part right now is we have to move past things like that like it’s whether it’s a turnover or or trying for an opportunity that isn’t there at a certain time it’s come back at times um to hurt us and I think we get in our own way in those situations I love the way Devin Kulie came in and played for us in that situation um I thought the guys created some good opportunities as the game went on and and and I thought we played a physical harder game tonight too. Is that part of just what’s going on when you’re when you’re saying you kind of make things difficult at times like just you know maybe just what the kind of is hanging over you a little bit. Sure. I mean they want to try to do something that’s going to help the team like you you understand that. Um but really just staying with the way we have to play is what’s going to be the the solution to the problem right now. And um we’re good like with it for 90% of the time, but we’ll go off script for 10. And that’s what’s hurting us right now. What’s the frustration level around the penalties? It still continues to happen. Yeah. Um for a coach or for the players for you? Coach is frustrated with it for sure. I mean, you don’t give yourself a chance to win. Like at the end of the day, if you do a good job of staying out of the penalty box and you’re clean with the puck at the offensive blue line, you’re going to give yourself a chance to win. Um, and if you’re taking too many penalties or more penalties than your opponent on any given night, you’re you’re putting yourself in a hole and you’re relying on your penalty kill and your goalender to have to do too much. Uh, the rationale behind taking Wolfe out, uh, we were three nothing after one period is just a just really a change or something to spark the team. Yeah. And will you come back with Wolf tomorrow? Um, that’s that’s our plan right now, but we’ll have more conversations about it. Yeah.

  1. Why is huska smiling like stop
    With the smile after lose he needs to get fired 3 in a row 2-9-2 it’s becoming ridiculous and to much something needs to change now or same thing will happen losing and losing until someone gets fired I am done

  6. Wolf looks tired too – playing deeper in the net also, because he's afraid of the cross ice pass.. they should give him a rest every 3 games… Bahl was a big help to him last year.. not so much this year…
    Bahl fell on him a couple games back and he looked shook… he also looks like he's occasionally fighting groin-stretch issues.. he needs rest.

    Cooley proved he can handle being ready today … give Cooley 25% of the games now.

    Weegs and Bahl struggling too… they need less minutes so they can put quality shifts in… for that, we need quality from other pairings… I liked Hanley with Parekh.. but Parekh def needs to develop more… so we need someone to replace Bean.

    Jake Bean has improved, but he's not going to cut it for the long term with our D.. we need one more guy to go in there and play solid D. Jake Bean should only be used for depth.

    Cornato should not be on the power play by the way… he has no ability to make any entries to the O-zone through key areas and is afraid to go to the middle – constantly on the perimeter and coughing up the puck near the blue… and i guess i understand it, since he cant hold on to pucks… the other team keeps stripping him… Give those minutes to Zary… i know he has no idea what skating back means, but he'd do better on the powerplay that Cornato.. Klapka has his moments, but for a guy with his stride size, he's slow and he keeps falling around like a toddler.

    The coach must be in hot water at this point – the players are the problem, yes, but the coach has to have the ability to get through to them when they have no answers for it.. you cant solve it with "other guys competing for a spot" mentality when half of the team fails on you on any given night.. It's just "on to the next game" now, each time…

    Lombo and Honzek looked good today, but a lot of the team was slow…

    The team is so close to competing like they did last year, but something's missing in their prep or mindset still for sure…

    REST Wolf every 3 games.. dont put him in 6 game stretches… and get another quality defenceman!

  8. Please everyone wake up!! This is all part of the plan. Craig extended Ryan because its part of the plan!! Trades are coming and we have a legitimate shot at Gavin McKenna!! Soon Andersson will be traded and then you can expect Brzustewicz in his place.
