They said it

"Generally what happens in these situations is [the Flyers] are going to play exactly the way they've played. They're not going to change any systems. There's been no time for that. And they're going to come out and play with a great sense of urgency. I know that. Other than that, we've got to worry about ourselves." -- Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill
"When I look at him and where he's at, we can't predict the future but I think he has a lot of things in his favor that make things a little bit easier." -- Flyers coach Scott Gordon on goalie Carter Hart
