"I hit a couple of posts in Vancouver, could have gone either way. I've just been fighting it a little bit. I guess you change the color of your tape or sticks or something like that. I'm trying not to put too much weight on it. I feel like I've been pretty lucky the last year or so that everything seems to have gone in, so it's kind of about time that this would happen. Just one of those things that everybody goes through."
"It's actually a pretty good stretch, so don't kick yourself. Also, he's been scoring a lot of goals, probably more than everyone expected, so there's a lot of good things. He's got to remember that. And he's got to simplify his game, too. That's part of being a hockey player, part of being a goalscorer. Everyone goes through it."
Morgan Geekie scored 50 goals in the calendar year 2025 and then entered a seven-game goal drought ahead of the game against the Calgary Flames. He struck the posts twice in Vancouver and had three shots on net there, but otherwise recorded only one or two shots per game on a five-game road trip. He showed difficulty handling the puck and accepting passes, with signs of the old "squeezing the stick" syndrome. Geekie said he is trying not to overthink and has toyed with changing tape or sticks. Coach Marco Sturm urged him to remember the long successful stretch and to simplify his game as part of being a goalscorer.
