happiness happy played saturday
We weren't happy with the way we played Saturday and we're still not happy.
good key passes
We did a lot of good things tonight. We did some things right like make the passes and take all the bounces our way. Getting the bounces was the big key tonight.
everybody game good team
I think everybody understands that (Saturday's game) is not the way we can perform, it's not acceptable, and it's over with. There's nothing we can do about it now. The only thing we can do is have a good game (today) and show that that wasn't our team on Saturday.
ensure harder work
We're all kind of embarrassed by it. We know that's not the way we have to perform. But it's over. There's nothing you can do about it now. All it can do is ensure we work harder and do things better this time.
everybody mature shift tough watching
I think he can be a superstar. Everybody is watching him, but he handles it so well. It's tough when everyone is watching you on every shift ... but he's very mature for his age.
hit knew
I don't even think Yashin knew he hit the puck.
affected anyone associated experience guys handle talks team
Obviously, I've never been associated with a team for sale, that kind of thing, and I don't think many guys have. I don't think anyone has any experience on how to handle something like that. But it hasn't affected us. I don't think anyone even talks about it.
atmosphere games hang morale team win
Right now, any win is really big for us. Team morale has been pretty low, and it's important for us to win games and get that atmosphere going around here. We know that we can play the right way and hang on to a lead.
came good hopefully locker mood
We came back here refreshed. Everyone's in a good mood in (the) locker room. Hopefully we can keep it up.
goal move quick worked
It was probably a quick whistle, but you just have to move on. We got the goal (later), so it worked out OK.
dreamed later middle proud scoring sit team tough
It's a lot more than I ever dreamed of scoring in this league, so it's something I'm very proud of. But it's also something for later on. In the middle of a season, it's tough to sit back and look at accomplishments like that. It's a team sport.
april continuing finishing forward looking playing strong
It was disappointing, obviously. I was looking forward to continuing to play once April came, but it didn't happen. It is what it is, and it's forgotten. It's about finishing strong here and playing hard.
knew knowing prepared realistic year
It was something I was prepared for. I knew it was a very realistic possibility for over a year now. My disappointment comes from knowing my years with the Flyers are over.
heard quick tough whistle
It was a quick whistle, but it's tough to argue. I heard the whistle before it went in.
