caught fired following game gets happened justified knowing middle nice stanley success took tough won
I think he got caught in a tough situation. He won us a Stanley Cup, took us to a Game 7 and gets fired the middle of the following year. It wasn't really justified that he got fired, but it happened and knowing we've had that kind of success with him, it's nice having him back.
afford dwell evaluate games short step wonder
You kind of wonder what's next. Lou's going to come in, and we don't know for how long. We're going to take it day by day. You can't dwell on the situation. We play so many games in such a short time, sometimes you want to take a step back and evaluate what's going on. But you just can't afford to.
definitely excited rivalry situation won
This is a big rivalry here and we're definitely excited about the situation that we're in but we haven't won anything yet.
bronze dad event family fun huge medal win won
This is going to be such a huge event for my family, my friends. It's going to be such a fun experience. My dad won a bronze in 1956 and now, 50 years later, going back to the same country, I'm going to try and win a medal as well.
buffalo coming deep everybody except knew minutes practice saturday sure won
In the old days, we used to be like that, but it's been different for us, definitely. We won in Buffalo Saturday and didn't practice (Sunday), so we had a whole day off and didn't see each other except for about 45 minutes this morning. But I think everybody deep down knew that it was the Flyers coming in and we wanted to make sure we had our 'A' game.
game nice road win won
It's good. You don't want to not play well for a long time. We're going to go on the road and we haven't won a game on the road yet. It's nice to get this win before we leave.
guy maybe time wonder
You kind of wonder what's next. Maybe Lou is the right guy for the time being, to make us more accountable.
mind period played third
I thought we played really well. We've got to get the third period out of our mind and be comfortable with how we played.
definitely everybody far game pinpoint playing price sharp
I think we're definitely not sharp as far as my game and everybody defensively. I think it's a combination of a lot of things why defensively you're not successful. I don't think you can pinpoint it to one person. As a group, we're just not sharp and have been playing the price a lot.
surprise
I think we'll surprise a lot of people.
everybody exciting learns watch
I think we'll be really fast, we have a lot of speedy forwards. I think we're going to be big like other teams, but I think it will be exciting to watch when everybody learns to play with the new rules.
happy
I think we're pretty happy to get out of here with one point.
bat beneficial early gel gets good happened prepared salt superstars team teams terms tougher wants
It is beneficial for us in terms of getting us going. When you get so many superstars from different backgrounds everyone has to gel and sometimes when you play good teams right off the bat like in Salt Lake, everyone wants to do their own thing and it gets tougher and tougher. I think that happened in Salt Lake, I don't think we were really prepared to play as a team early on.
anxious camps canada chance guys nice perform summer team training transition younger
I think there was a big transition in Canada, having younger guys being part of Team Canada now. I think it's nice we had a chance to perform with each other. At least you don't come in and it's a brand-new atmosphere. Now Team Canada has been doing these pre-Olympic training camps in the summer also, where we got together. I think everybody's really anxious to see each other again.
