We want the division crown. Our focus is still on catching the Rangers. Our record against those (teams) above us is a lot better than those below us. We have no success against Tampa or Buffalo and limited success against Montreal, if any. We want home-ice advantage. Our fear is not who we play. |
We want to finish strong and get first place in the division before the break. That's something we've worked very hard for and we very much want. |
We were a team going very well for an extended period of time. In the last 10 days we have not played near as well as we are capable of. |
We were banging around it so hard in the second that I felt, even though we were down 4-1, that if we made it 4-2 early (in the third), which we did, if we kept going we could still tie up the hockey game and maybe win it. We had a lot of good chances, but we didn't finish and then they scored the fifth goal. |
We were embarrassed for our fans and we were embarrassed for the city of Philadelphia. We've got to get make amends when we go back home. We've got to get this series back even when we come back here, so we've got a lot of work to do. |
We were overwhelmed in the first 10 minutes, that's my responsibility. We were embarrassed for our fans and we were embarrassed for the city of Philadelphia. ... We've got a lot of work to do. |
We were overwhelmed in the first ten minutes, that's my responsibility. We made critical errors on the first, second, and third goals. They fed off the energy and that lies on me. |
We were tentative, but once we got angry, we got some emotion and we were ready to go. |
We weren't prepared to pay the price to win the hockey game at the start and when you give a team like Toronto a sniff, they're going to make you pay a price. |
We will be better, I promise you that. |
We?re going to have to make some adjustments. We honestly don?t know how this is going to work for us until we play some exhibition games. |
We?re going to take Randy right through to the end of the day here and see how he looks. He had a really good first game, which was most impressive. I like what he does. He?s very smart and the way the game?s being played right now you need people who are smart offensively and defensively. He?s done a great job. |
We?re lucky because those guys (the Phantoms) are 25 steps down the hall, |
We?re lucky. These guys come up and play and they don?t miss a beat. |
We?re winning games without Peter?s line scoring goals for us, and that?s a great sign. We?re winning games different ways. Sometimes it?s with speed and skill. We had to grit it out today. |
