Whether it means Wednesday or Saturday, I'm not sure. He feels good that it's improving. If he feels good, so do we.
might ok tougher wednesday
Wednesday will be the tougher day. If they get through that they'll probably be OK for Thursday's game. We might have to make some tough decisions.
tried
We worked, we tried things, but collectively we weren't on the same page. They really need a break, but I'm not making excuses.
advantage doubt good presented strong took
Overmatched? I doubt it. I just thought we had a strong game. We took advantage of some things that were presented to us and I thought we were as good as we've been defensively all year.
couple power puck work
Our power play got us a couple of big ones and our PK did what it had to do. Keep the puck to the outside. They work very, very hard.

They've found a way to play that's comfortable for them. It's Flyers hockey, basically, but Flyers hockey with these new rules.

They've been terrific. Bringing the three of them up is not out of the question.

They're well aware of that reputation. They're aware of it and their objective is to prove people wrong.

They take good point shots, create traffic at the net and they're hard people to move. Whoever wins the specialty-team game should win the game tonight.
complete found game half identity lost
They play a complete game and they have their identity that they've recaptured because it wasn't there for them in the first half of the season. Obviously, as they found theirs, we kind of lost ours.

They're legitimate aches and pains that you've got to pay attention to. When an athlete can't go, you've got to listen to that.

They're in the NHL. They're on our team. We have to generate more shots, we have to generate more traffic. We have to make life tough for our opponent to defend so that even though they might not be pretty goals we certainly can put the puck in the net.
assumed care ear effort fans gain happened past respect responsibility team trying
They really care about where this team is going. They have an ear to the past and what's happened here, but they've also really assumed the responsibility for where this team is going to go - the effort we're trying to make to gain respect back from our fans and from the NHL.
absolutely game goes nails
Absolutely unbelievable. This is a big, big game and Henrik goes in and nails it.
