They said it

"I don't think it's necessarily an excuse but it has been difficult. It's been a lot of flying and time zones and you don't realize how much the flights dehydrate you until you're actually a couple days into it. I did a hydration test with our guys and I wasn't even on the chart. I was so far off it was crazy." -- Flyers forward Travis Konecny on Philadelphia's early travel schedule, which included a trip to Prague for the 2019 NHL Global Series
"It's never family on the ice. Obviously, we're smiling and joking with each other, but at the same time we have that mentality in us that we're going to do whatever it takes for our team and I know there's no friends out there." -- Canucks captain Bo Horvat on playing against Konecny, his second cousin and everyday training partner in the offseason.
