They said it

"Philadelphia is a great memory for my family. We spent a lot of time in the area. But the bottom line is trying to get a win on the road against a team playing well right now." -- Kings coach John Stevens, who coached the Flyers from 2006-10
"It's hard to say we lost 10 in a row and we were happy with our game. We changed a couple things and now we're just getting the results because we stuck with it, we stayed as a team, we didn't turn on each other. It's a tight group in here." -- Flyers captain Claude Giroux
