Say What - 'Be The Hungrier Team'

Jonathan Huberdeau on tonight's matchup with the Kraken:

"We played good in their building against them, so we’ve got to bring that here at home. It’s going to be a tough matchup, playoff matchup; they’re close, they need some points too, we’ve just got to be the hungrier team."

On Yegor Sharangovich feeling more comfortable at centre:

"He’s been good, really responsible. Obviously, he needed some time, he hasn’t played centre in a while. I thought he put a lot of work into it and he’s been really good, winning face-offs, responsible defensively. When you’re responsible defensively, it’s going to come to you offensively."

Oliver Kylington on being paired with his friend Rasmus Andersson:

"Just makes it way easier, I would say. We know our games, and we know each other well off the ice as well. It’s just fun and I think we complement each other well out there, it’s good that we’ll get more games to show that."

On the upcoming matchup with Seattle:

"I feel every game is big, I maybe say that too much, but yeah, this is a head-to-head game. We approach every game as a must-win game, so we’re going to do that tonight as well, and we’re looking forward to it."

Ryan Huska on Zary's status and Kuzmenko's move to the Kadri line:

"Connor, we thought, was going to be alright, but sometimes the next day they don’t respond quite as well, so he won’t be in the lineup for us tonight but it is a short-term thing. With Kuzy, it’s the pace of play, and you almost feel like Connor and Kuz are similar-type players, but different. It’s the pace of play that he has to play with, he has to be around the puck, so he has impact and he’s able to use the skill set that he has the right way."

On Brayden Pachal's performances since joining the Flames:

"I think he’s been excellent, he’s a good Western Canadian boy, and you almost know what you’re going to get from one of those players. The one thing we do like about the way he approaches the game is he’s physical, he knows who he is. He just doesn’t rub guys out, if he’s got an opportunity to hit someone, they’re going to know he’s coming, and I think that’s added something to our back end that we didn’t have a lot of before."
