Say What - 'You Want To Create Havoc'

Greer on his first week as a Flame:

“It's been good. It was a quick turnaround and sometimes things can get disheveled and not feel too right, but the guys have given me a warm welcome and I've adapted to the systems pretty quickly. Just trying to go out there and do my thing, play and enjoy it. That's what I've been doing and so far, I've been happy with how I've been playing. I've got more to give as far as production and physicality, but for a start after two games, I'm really happy.”

On building chemistry with Sharangovich and Duehr:

“I've been finding some good chemistry with Walker and Shar, and Rosie when he was with us for the first game. It's a nice complement when you get to play with some really good offensive players and guys that can be reliable. We don't need to force things. The plays will be made and they're players that can make those plays, so it's nice to be always able to rely on our linemates.”

On that line’s identity:

“That's how it's supposed to be played – especially as an energy line, a fourth line. You want to create havoc, you want to create energy and being able to create opportunities off the other team's mistakes and being able to work them down low is exactly what we need to be doing as a line. I think Shar's got some unbelievable puck skills and a great shot, and Walker's got pretty much everything, so it's just a matter of how we work together as a group and as a line to be able to find those holes and find those opportunities whenever they come. I think that's what we did in Pittsburgh. We found ways to create offence and win those puck battles to be able to get pucks to the net and make sure that we do our jobs in (all) three zones.”

Kadri on the first two games of the season:

“I think we've been relatively resilient. Fifty good minutes in Pittsburgh and probably should have had a better outcome. But that just goes to show you've got to stay with it, especially on the road, and play a complete game. I've liked our speed, I've liked our execution, but we've still got stuff to work on.”

On the mistakes vs. Pittsburgh:

“I think mid-season is kind of the real thing. Tendencies early on in a season is a be a little open and sloppy and that's natural. We'll tighten it up, we'll clean it up and move forward.”

Huska on the focus for tonight:

“I think for us it's to build off the good things that they've done in the prior two games and then try to make it a little more consistent as we go. Part of it is embracing the hard parts of the game. That will be a focus for us tonight.”

On the play of the fourth line:

“That line – when you look at it – was probably our most consistent (in Pittsburgh). You could almost say our best line as a threesome. I think the size of that line - they can all skate, they have an idea of what their identity is right now, and if we can continue them going in that direction, that's a great thing for us.”
