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 well aware of that reputation. They're aware of it and their objective is to prove people wrong. |
They've been terrific. Bringing the three of them up is not out of the question. |
They've found a way to play that's comfortable for them. It's Flyers hockey, basically, but Flyers hockey with these new rules. |
This is a game to build on. The first one was too, but we were in a hole. Now, we're at ground level and we need to keep building. I think that we played hard and showed character. |
This is all about winning here. No one knows that better than Kevin Weekes. He's made it easy on me ... Kevin will be ready to play, then we'll move on and get our wins with him, too. |
This is every guy's dream and he's not finished with his. We appreciate that. And if he makes this battle that much more interesting, then all the power to him. |
This is one of our less disciplined nights this season. We've been noted for gaining respect from our opponents, and we don't want that to slip away. |
This is our team, injuries are part of the game and we'll press on regardless of who's in and who's out, but we believe and hope Jagr is fine. It was a big collision, but he's a big man, a strong guy, and I think he came out of it all right. |
This lineup tonight could be symbolic of what it might take down the road here and in the playoffs. We hope the team understands the value of that and works harder to play that way than maybe they have the last half dozen games. |
This team has got itself on the brink. We've got to lock in or we're out of here. We don't want anyone to look at our regular season as a complete illusion. |
Three to four weeks gives us a chance at four. It's an emotional roller-coaster for him. He's never had this type of injury, so first, the fact that he's hurt and that it interrupts his Olympic experience, it's pretty tough for him. |
Time will tell, but he's a good player. It's not like this guy came out of absolutely nowhere for us. |
To beat a very good hockey team, the Stanley Cup champions, was important. And we did it because we hung in there and we stuck to our plan and, in the end, we found a way to win. |
To his credit, he's certainly been the consummate team guy and likely in retrospect having even deserved more starts than he's gotten. His injuries have prevented that from happening. These are big games for us moving forward and he'll play a significant role in how far we go here in these next games and hopefully what we do beyond that. |
