They Said It…
Rod Brind’Amour giving his evaluation of the game…
“From start to finish, I thought we were good. Especially (given) that we played last night and that didn’t go the way that we wanted it to. But I thought we got to our game right away. First shift, which was nice. Then, we had the bulk of the play. I just like that we had the (ability) to stick with it. Our power play came up big. Our penalty kill was great. That’s what it needed to do tonight, but I liked the whole process.”
Shayne Gostisbehere discussing his team finally getting in the win column…
“The first two games weren’t what we do. It wasn’t the way we play. We just got back to that a little bit tonight. Obviously, there are some smaller things to clean up, but obviously (it was), a good outcome.”
Sebastian Aho on the team’s power play sparking its offense…
“Obviously there’s a pre-scout; you try and look a little bit at what they’re going to do, what their tendencies are, but I’ve always said it comes down to execution, the passes and the shots. There’s always plays that you think you’re going to run, but it’s hockey, you know? You’ve got to play hockey, and there’s a reason why you’re on the power play. Fly, for example, on that pass in the slot for me- it was elite. Happy to be good in that department too.”
Pyotr Kochetkov describing how he felt after playing his first regular season game in over nine months…
“Not bad. It was a good start for us. The second period was not so good for me. I’m very happy the guys just continued to play well. Give credit to the Flyers goalie, (Joseph) Woll. He did unbelievable today. I’m very happy we won today.”
