They said it

"It kind of works out. The [city] you went where you died is the [city] where you get brought back to life. Everything comes full circle in hockey and hockey's ironic like that." -- Flyers forward Chris Stewart
"Real good team. Some acquisitions this offseason gave them depth. For the foreseeable future, though, it's about us. They've only played three times. They started over in Prague. What we can see from their time over in the NHL it's been a dangerous team. It's a team that's dynamic and can score quickly." -- Flames coach Bill Peters on the Flyers
