anybody fans front game home job owe watching
We're embarrassed, dejected, stunned. To a man, we know we can do a lot better and we will. I don't think anybody has to say anything to get anybody going. We have a big job in front of us. We owe it to all our fans that were watching the game back home to come home and to come home strong.
days hit
I got fortunate; they just hit me. Some days they hit you, and some days they don't.
game helped scoring stronger
We did give up a lot of scoring chances, but I'm not going to say that a stronger game out of me wouldn't have helped us get it into overtime.
game win
I want to win every game that I play.
blades machine small work
He's just jealous, he's got a big butt. The blades didn't work well for him. That machine was too small for him.
best dividends needed pay
I don't think we needed anybody's best game. We just needed everybody's best effort, collectively and individually. It really did pay dividends in the long run.
adjust game games guy learned month needs played style
My style is I'm not a guy who needs a whole lot of games. When I was a backup, I played one game a month or two games a month. You have to be ready. That's kind of how I always approached it. I learned to adjust to that.
carry future judge players team unfair
There are some young players in here who are going to carry the team in the future. I think it would be pretty unfair to judge them right now.
great knew pass push quick
I think I knew he was there; you always know when he's on the ice, he's such a great little player. He (Hecht) made a quick enough pass that I couldn't make the push to get over there.
guys looked minutes played solid tonight
We played a solid 60 minutes tonight. Tonight we put everything together. I didn't have to do much. The guys were awesome. It looked like a real Flyers game.
accurate almost bigger high hit missed net problem shots wide wing year
We had almost 60 (blocks or misses), and that was a bigger problem for us. We missed the net on too many shots that all year we hit the net on. We shot it high and wide off the wing where we had been accurate all year.
ahead fired goals happen moving process sure upset yelling
I wasn't yelling at anybody. I was as fired up as everybody. We're all upset when goals go in. It's not a finger-pointing thing but the process of moving ahead and making sure it doesn't happen again.
spark trying
I was just trying to spark my team.
guys putting themselves ugly
Guys are putting the onus on themselves to get this right. It was an ugly win.
