Post-Game | Sam Honzek – 28.10.25
I know it comes in a losing effort, Sam, but um can you take a moment to just to talk about your first NHL gold night? Yeah, I’m really really happy for me that finally went in after, you know, hitting a couple posts and uh you know, being kind of unlucky, but you know, uh I’m really happy I went in, but uh you know, maybe if the result would be different, if the game would be way better. Do you now have the confidence that you’re sticking around in the NHL? I mean, nothing is guaranteed still. You know, I still want to have that mindset that nothing is free, everything is earned. And I think, you know, I want to earn my spot in the team and be as long as I can here and uh, you know, play play continuously this good and, uh, you know, bring bring my best version every night. Got confidence that’s in the belt at least a little bit. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. You know, feel more confident and during since since I joined the Flames, it’s it’s been it’s been awesome, you know, every day. Feel more comfortable here on the guys and same on the ice. It seems like you found a real home on that line with Bland and Coleman. Like what what’s working playing with those guys? I think it’s uh you know they have lots of experience and uh you know we’re really predictable to each other you know we stick with the system and we’re doing the right stuff you know u we getting a lot of DJ on face out against the good guys so uh I think that means for me you know to step on my game be be sharp on the ice because we’re playing against the good guys and from the other teams so um so yeah I would say I would say that you just talk about the high of scoring your first goal and then minutes later the low of you guys losing the game. I mean how tough is that to deal with? Yeah, it’s it’s not ideally, but uh you know, it’s a it’s a part of hockey, you know, uh it can be it can be a tied game and then 10 seconds later it can be back in your net. So, uh we need to learn from that and you know, especially in this game, you know, uh I think as a group, we had lots of turnovers and I think, you know, and lots of penalties in the first period, too. So, we need to we need to work on that and uh don’t take penalties and you know, be aware of turnovers.
