Two best friends back together to spend some time on the ice wearing the same colors. But that of course has now brought up an old quote that needed some clarification.<\/p>\n<p>When Drysdale was initially traded as part of the return for maligned Flyers prospect Cutter Gauthier in January 2024, Zegras told the media that he was going to really miss the defenseman. Well, he did it in his own words.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe pretty much do everything together. We pee together, we get injured together, we sleep together,\u201d Zegras said of Drysdale when the trade went down last year.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone with any cognitive ability to understand humor knew that the young center was joking around on the specifics, but just wanted to express just how close the two of them were. Drafted by Anaheim in consecutive years and were both brought up through the organization around the same time \u2014 specifically, Drysdale had to make the NHL at just 18 years old, the same season Zegras was a rookie, because of the COVID pandemic, but that\u2019s a whole other thing \u2014 the two clearly formed a close bond.<\/p>\n<p>So, now that they are teammates once again in Philadelphia, that comment went semi-viral once again and Zegras had to make sure people knew he was joking around.<\/p>\n<p>At a charity hockey game in Connecticut called Shoulder Check, both Zegras and Drysdale participated and with some media presence, the center was asked about the quote once again.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Trevor Zegras saw everyone re-sharing this when he was traded to the Flyers, and needs to clear the air! \ud83e\udd23 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/I1AUjwXueF\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/I1AUjwXueF<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UvILjGHB6G\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/UvILjGHB6G<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 B\/R Open Ice (@BR_OpenIce) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BR_OpenIce\/status\/1948796969008205921?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">July 25, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s from a movie. I did say it,\u201d Zegras said. \u201cIt\u2019s funny, I did say that to somebody very early in the morning. I didn\u2019t think it would take the shape that it did. Definitely makes me reconsider the things that I say to the reporters because it was more off the cuff and trying to be funny. When it\u2019s just blocked in two paragraphs, with our faces, obviously it can take a different turn, but I still think it\u2019s pretty funny.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The last thing we want is Trevor Zegras to be more cagey towards the media. Maybe the one beacon of hope for hockey players to not just become completely cold robots with zero interesting quotes coming out of the mouths; we need Zegras to feel even more comfortable trying to crack jokes. For the sake of fans, everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s hoping that there are even more opportunities for this duo to be in front of a camera together, though. The Flyers were given a gift to make content out of and now that these best friends are reunited \u2014 defenseman Cam York is a part of the group, as well \u2014 who knows what could happen throughout next season off the ice and with a microphone in their hands.<\/p>\n<p>Zegras does have some pressure to perform on the ice, though. Acquired for nothing but a solid fourth-line center and a couple of draft picks, there isn\u2019t the pressure of a high acquisition cost, but it is the pressure of potentially being an answer down the middle. Maybe at first, if there is some struggling to start the season, we won\u2019t get to see Zegras\u2019s personality fully flourish off the ice. But, if the Flyers hit the ground running and Zegras is a point-per-game center that has fixed this team\u2019s power play, we should see some real fun, hopefully lighthearted quotes come from the young center.<\/p>\n<p>It all starts when the Flyers visit the New York Islanders on Sept. 21 for their first preseason game.<\/p>\n<p>\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The duo of Trevor Zegras and Jamie Drysdale were happily reunited as teammates when the Philadelphia Flyers traded&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37697,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":["post-37696","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37696","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37696"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37696\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
