They said it

"I don't know much about Scott, but he looked good in the warm-ups.
He's a pretty technical guy, which is nice. I told him to just have fun with it." -- Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet on goaltender Scott Wedgewood
"We can't take them lightly. They're a better team than what their record actually shows. They have some pretty good skills up front, some pretty good young legs that probably skate pretty well. We'll have to be ready to skate with them tonight." -- Flyers center Sean Couturier on the Coyotes
