‘”It’s crucial. It sets you up for the season, but there will be times that we will be faced with adversity,” Housley said in his first meeting with the media this season. “Hopefully we don’t have to face that right at the start, but I feel that we can only control what we do tomorrow, how we work the next day, how we work in our exhibition games. When we get to that point and when we have to face that adversity, we can change it right away. We don’t continue to bleed. We can make our adjustments as a coaching staff and as a team, and try to plug the hole, if you will, that we can turn that thing around right away.”‘
