Flames Coach Expresses Frustration with High Paid Stars
The Calgary Flames fell in disappointing fashion to the St. Louis Blues on Thursday night by a score of 3-0, and after yet another loss and lackluster performance from their supposed stars, frustrations boiled over.
Called out
After the game, Head Coach Ryan Huska was doing his press conference, when the question of Jonathan Huberdeau and Nazem Kadri's performance came up, and the first time HC didn't hold back.
If you're expecting those two guys to win games for us it's not going to happen, we're going to be waiting for that for a long period of time.
Out of context, that feels like a major shot at those two names, but he followed that comment up by clarifying he needs the whole team to perform, and unless the team around them play better, their two big name stars can't be better either.
Self-evaluation
On top of that, defenseman Nikita Zadorov, who called out the teams selfish play in recent days had another noteworthy interview, this time apologizing to fans for their play on the ice.
«I just want to apologize to our fans,»
«We're playing like s*** right now, so it's tough to watch.
«Just embarrassing in front of our fans tonight, for sure.»

This season may just be eight games old, but for a Flames team with several pending UFA's and a lack of stars, losing may be the best way to go about the season in order to kick-start a rebuild, but for now, things are ugly, and it's only going to get worse.
