It was nothing he did. I was just trying to spark the team.

The good thing for me is I have more to offer. As an athlete, you are always trying to get better. You always strive to do that. I have elevated my game.

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.

I want to win every game that I play.
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.
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.

That whole country knows they have the best player in the world. They know he couldn't miss the Olympics without at least trying. I just hope he waits until after they play us.

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.

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.

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.

It was just talk between me and another player, that's all.
They've got everything working for them right now. They are really clicking.

I'm not really worried about that. I'm worried about myself and the best way to prepare for hockey games, and that's all I'm focused on.
