>> Jim: PATRICK KANE IN SHOOTOUTS, HE’S PRETTY GOOD AT THIS. WHAT A COME BACK FOR THE FLYERS TO EVEN MAKE IT TO OVERTIME. WELCOME INTO POSTGAME LIVE PRESENTED BY CURE AUTO INSURANCE. THE FLYERS LOSE IT IN A SHOOT OUT HERE IN PHILADELPHIA.
THE FLYERS COME BACK TO MAKE– FROM A 5 – 1 DEFICIT FOR FIVE UNANSWERED GOALS AND FOR EVERYONE WHO TURNED OFF THE GAME I HOPE YOU TURNED IT BACK ON BECAUSE WHAT A FIGHT THIS WAS TO MAKE IT TO THIS POINT.
>> THEY MAY HAVE LOST THE GAME BUT THEY WON A MY ADMIRATION. ENTERTAINED AND IMPRESSED. DOWN AFTER THE FIRST PERIOD, THE GOALTENDER HAS A PLAYED IN A WHILE WITH NOTHING GOING ON IN FRONT OF HIM AND THEN THERE’S A BREAK COMING UP AND
THEY COME AT YOU. THEY LOSE A PLAYER TO MISCONDUCT, THEY COME AT YOU AND THEY NEVER STOP. YOU MAY NOT HAVE GOTTEN TWO POINTS BUT TO ME IT IS AS CLOSE TO A WIN AS YOU CAN GET BECAUSE THIS WAS TRULY IMPRESSIVE TO
COME BACK AT THIS TIME WITH VACATION LOOMING, IT SHOWS YOU WHAT THE TEAM IS MADE OF. >> THE ENTIRE SEASON THEY’VE HAD THE FIGHT TO COME BACK IN THE WILL TO NEVER DIE. LET’S GO TO OWEN TIPPETT’S GOAL, THE SIXTH FLYER THAT GOT
THEM BACK INTO THE LEAD AND REALLY WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT HIM? >> WHAT I SAW WAS AN ASSIST BY THE GOALTENDER. HE HAD A ROUGH GO GOING RIGHT AT THE PADS BUT THAT’S WHAT YOU DO. YOU PLAYED TO THE WHISTLE, YOU JUST KEEP
GOING AND THAT’S WHAT THEY DID. THAT IS THE SEQUENCE. YOU DON’T STOP, GO TO THE NET, EVERYBODY IS AWARE OF EVERYTHING, THERE’S ANYTHING– ENERGY THROUGHOUT. THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT CAME BACK IN THIS GAME THAT NEVER PACKED
IT IN SO YOU GET A GOAL LIKE THIS, THAT IS JUST GOING RIGHT TO THE POST. >> Brian: 33 SECONDS LATER, THIS HAPPENS. >> Brian: WHEN YOU USE THAT GOALTENDING SYSTEM THAT EVERYBODY USES NOW BUT THERE ARE THOSE LITTLE 1 INCH SQUARES
THAT SOMEONE CAN GET IT THROUGH. IT’S A LEAKY GOAL THAT GOES THROUGH BUT I’LL TELL YOU, AFTER GIVING UP THIS GOAL, THE SAVE HE MAY LATER AGAIN SHOWS YOU THE WILL TO COME BACK. NEVER STOP, NEVER PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN AND THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED.
CARTER HART, I WAS WONDERING IF YOU IS GOING TO COME BACK IN THE SECOND PERIOD BUT NOT ONLY CAME BACK AND MADE– BUT MADE HUGE SAVES INCLUDING A REMARKABLE OVERTIME. FOR ME IT MAY NOT BE TECHNICALLY A WIN BUT I THINK
THEY WON A LOT OF ADMIRATION FOR JUST COMING BACK. >> AND GETTING A VERY WELL EARNED POINT. WE HAVE THE CROSSOVER WITH JJ AND BOUCH AND I HAVE TO ASK ABOUT CARTER HART. WE WERE QUESTIONING IN PHILADELPHIA IF HE WOULD EVEN
PLAY IN THE SECOND PERIOD BUT HE WAS EXCELLENT IN OVERTIME. >> Brian: HE WAS EXCELLENT IN OVERTIME AND IT MAKES SENSE FOR HIM TO COME OUT AFTER THE FIRST PERIOD SEEING THAT HE HAS NOT PLAYED IN TWO WEEKS, THEY’VE
GOT FOUR DAYS COMING UP OR THEY ARE OFF AND HE’S GOT TO JUST FIGHT THROUGH IT. I’M SURE AFTER THE FIRST PERIOD EVERYONE IN THE LOCKER ROOM SAID THEY COULD BE BETTER AND THE NEXT 40 MINUTES THEY PROVED THEY COULD BE MUCH BETTER AND
EVERYBODY PICKED IT UP INCLUDING CARTER HART. IT’S UNFORTUNATE HE GAVE UP THE GOAL TO DYLAN LARKIN. THERE’S NO DOUBT IT’S ONE THAT HE WANTED TO HAVE BACK AND HE TRIED LIKE HECK TO MAKE IT RIGHT BUT UNFORTUNATELY WAS NOT ABLE TO
GET IT DONE BUT I LIKED THE FACT THAT HE DIDN’T HANG HIS HEAD, HE BATTLED, HE COMPETED, AND IT WAS A HARD EARNED POINT AND I THOUGHT HART WAS A BIG PART OF THAT . >> I THINK THE WHOLE NIGHT GOES
DOWN AS A LESSON IN RESILIENCE BECAUSE THEY LOOKED OUT OF IT, DETROIT KNEW THEY WOULD BE A HUNGRY TEAM, THEY GOT THE LINE HOOK TOGETHER, STEAMROLLED TO THE PERIOD AND I DO BELIEVE THAT NICK SEELER, HE IS AN EMOTIONAL GUY, HE WAS NOT
HAPPY, I DON’T THINK THE FLYERS WERE ORIGINALLY HAPPY WITH THE CALL AND OF COURSE THEY CLEARED THAT UP. THE FLYERS WERE AT EVEN STRAINED THEM BEFORE YOU KNEW IT WAS A 5 – 3 GAME AND THEY WENT FROM THERE SO RESILIENCE FOR SURE FROM CARTER
HART AND THE TEAM AS A HOLE THROUGHOUT THE HOCKEY GAME. >> Brian: AND YOU MENTIONED THE PLAY BY SANHEIM. IT LOOKED LIKE ANOTHER STEP IN LEADERSHIP TO PLAY THAT WAY. BEFORE THAT HE SAILED THROUGH TWO PLAYERS TO GET A SHOT ON
GOAL AND THEN SHOTS TO GET TIPPED, HE HAS BECOME EVEN MORE OF A LEADER AND IN THIS GAME I THINK HE LED THAT WAY. >> HOW MANY TIMES DID I SAY GET HIS LEG MOVING? HE WAS SUCH A FORCE AND THAT’S WHAT JOHN TORTORELLA WAS
TALKING ABOUT LAST YEAR INTO THIS YEAR. I WANT HIM TO BE A DIFFERENCE MAKER. I WANT A DIFFERENCE MAKER, AND WHAT A DIFFERENCE HE WAS TODAY AND MOST OF THIS YEAR FOR THE FLYERS. YOU START TO THINK IS HE GOING TO TAIL OFF?
THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A GAME OR TWO WHERE YOU START TO THINK THAT BUT THEN HE COMES RIGHT BACK WITH A PERFORMANCE LIKE THIS WHERE EVERY TIME HE WAS OUT THERE IT SEEMED LIKE HE WAS CREATING SOMETHING. >> AFTER THE FIRST 20 THERE
WERE A LOT OF GUYS IN THE LOCKER ROOM THAT LOOKED IN THE MIRROR AND SET I CAN BE BETTER AND SANHEIM TOOK IT UPON HIMSELF TO MAKE SURE HE WAS GOING TO BE BETTER IN THE NEXT 20 AND HE LED BY EXAMPLE AND
THAT’S WHAT YOU NEED. PEOPLE CAN TALK IN THE LOCKER ROOM, THEY CAN SAY THE RIGHT THINGS BUT DO THEY GO OUT AND DO THE RIGHT THINGS? TO ME HE TOOK A STEP IN LEADERSHIP BY GOING OUT, BEING DOWN 5 – 1. YOU CAN FLIP PUCKS
THE REST OF THE NIGHT AND WALK OUT OF HERE AND NO ONE WOULD BLINK AN EYE BUT SANHEIM WANTED TO GET BACK INTO THE GAME AND FULL MARKS TO THE WHOLE GROUP. I’M IMPRESSED BY THE RESILIENCY AND THE MENTAL TOUGHNESS.
>> THANK YOU, HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY BREAK AND WE WILL TALK TO YOU NEXT THURSDAY, ALMOST A WEEK. >> MERRY CHRISTMAS. >>> TIME FOR YUENGLING PRESENTS LAGER UP AND WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE COME BACK AND HOW THE FLYERS COME BACK WITH FIVE
UNANSWERED GOALS. >> WE WERE MENTIONING SANHEIM. IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE A ROCKET BUT A BEAUTIFUL CHIP AND THAT STARTS THE ENGINES. AND THIS ONE RIGHT HERE, FROST WINS THE FACE-OFF DRIFTING TOWARD THE NET, BANGING ON THE
ICE TO GET THAT SHOT TO GO HIS WAY. RIGHT THERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GOALTENDER, NOW IT’S A GAME. GAME ON. COME BACK INTO THE ZONE, TAKE THAT SHOT AND HE HAD A NICE GAME. SEIDER WHO IS DEADLY AGAINST
THIS TEAM, ABSOLUTELY PERFECT TO GET YOUR MINDSET OF, YOU KNOW WHAT? WE CAN REALLY DO THIS. THE SHOT TOWARD THE NET, REBOUND AGAIN, STRUGGLING, AND THE FLYERS FELT LEAD RIGHT THERE. LAUGHTON RIGHT THERE TO TAP IT IN.
5 – 5 TIED GAME, SURE ENOUGH RIGHT THERE, RIGHT THROUGH THE GOALTENDER AND THERE YOU GO. TIPPETT GOES RACING IN TO SEE IT. NOBODY STOPS, THERE’S THE CELEBRATION BECAUSE THEY THINK, WE MAY HAVE THIS LOCKED UP TO COME BACK AND ACTUALLY
TAKE A LEAD. TRAILING 5 – 1. >> CRAZY. HOW THE FLYERS GOT BACK, AND WE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS ALL SEASON, IT WAS NOT UST ONE GUY. POEHLING ÃBOUCH SAID IT. NO ONE PLAYED WELL THAT FIRST PERIOD. >> NOBODY PLAYED WELL.
HART , I THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE CIRCLING THE WAGONS AND DETROIT WAS A WAGON THE FIRST PERIOD FORASMUCH AS THE FLYERS CAME BACK, DETROIT WENT OFF THE RAILS. THEY FELL APART BUT YOU HAVE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE AND JJ MENTIONED, THERE WERE A LOT OF ELEMENTS
THAT MATTER. FROST HAD SOME BIG PLAYS SO LIKE YOU SAID, YOU GO DOWN THE ROSTER AND YOU HAVE POINTS HERE AND POINTS HERE, YORK EARLIER, EVERYBODY CONTRIBUTED. EVERYBODY CONTRIBUTED TO THE FIRST PERIOD MESS BUT THEN EVERYBODY CONTRIBUTED TO THE COME BACK.
>> IT WAS QUITE THE ROLLER COASTER. A LOT OF UPS AND DOWNS. LET’S GO BACK TO DETROIT AND HEAR FROM SCOTT LAUGHTON >> TAKE A DEEP BREATH, THEY HAD A GOOD START. WE KNOW THAT IN OUR ROOM, WE KNOW THE TEMPERATURE OF THE GAME
GOT A LITTLE HEATED AND I THINK THAT PLAYS INTO OUR GAME. SO, HUGE FOR OUR GROUP. TELLS YOU A LOT ABOUT US AND WHAT GUYS ARE WILLING TO DO FOR EACH OTHER. GUYS BATTLE,, ALL THOSE GUYS BATTLED, LOCKED SHOTS. IT TELLS YOU ABOUT THIS GROUP
AND WHY WE PLAY FOR EACH OTHER. >> IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE YOU HAD ONE. HOW DID IT FEEL? >> FEELS NICE TO CONTRIBUTE IN THE THIRD ESPECIALLY AND TO GET ON THE BOARD, DID A GREAT JOB BEFORE PUTTING IT ON NET AND
HAD TO TAP IT IN. FEELS NICE BUT WOULD HAVE LIKED TO GET TO TWO POINTS BUT THE WAY BE BATTLED BACK WE CAN TAKE A LOSS FROM IT. >> JOHN TORTORELLA WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THINGS WENT IN YESTERDAY’S GAME IN TERMS OF
FOR CHECKING AND ONLY USING THE TRANSITION. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE ABLE TO HANDLE IT A LITTLE BETTER TODAY? >> YES. WE DID A BETTER JOB. ONCE YOU START FOR CHECKING IT OPENS UP TO MAKE PLAYS AT THE BLUE LINE AT THE TOP OF THE
CIRCLE SO I THOUGHT THEY DID A GREAT JOB AT THE START OF THE GAME AND GETTING IN ON THE FORECHECK, WE WENT FROM THERE. STARTED DOING IT IN THE SECOND AND YOU CREATE TURNOVERS, SO THAT WAS GOOD FOR OUR GROUP. GOOD TO COME BACK.
>> WHAT WAS A CONVERSATION LIKE IN THE ROOM? >> TAKE A DEEP BREATH, STATE EVEN-KEELED, THINGS AREN’T ALWAYS GOING TO GO YOUR WAY. WE HAVEN’T BEEN IN THIS SITUATION TOO MANY TIMES THIS YEAR WHERE IT HAS BEEN THAT LOPSIDED SO I THOUGHT IT WAS
GOOD. LIKE I SAID, YOU WANT TO GET THE SECOND POINTÃIN A SKILLS COMPETITION. >> YOU GOT THAT ONE POINT. IS THIS A GOOD WAY TO GO INTO THE BREAK ESPECIALLY AFTER YESTERDAY? >> I THINK SO, I THINK WE
SEGMENTED IT IN THE LAST FOUR GAMES. YOU PICK UP FIVE POINTS OBVIOUSLY YOU WANT TO COUPLE MORE BUT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS AS A POSITIVE FOR THE GROUP GOING INTO THE BREAK. A BIG WESTERN ROAD TRIP COMING UP. GET SOME REST.
I KNOW A LOT OF GUYS THIS TIME OF YEAR ARE A LITTLE BANGED UP SO IT WOULD BE GOOD TO GET SOME REST AND GO BACK AT IT. >> IT SEEMS LIKE CARTER SETTLED DOWN AFTER THE PERIOD AND CAME UP BIG ESPECIALLY IN OVERTIME.
>> HE SAVED US IN OVERTIME AND MADE A HUGE SAVE ON GOSTISBEHERE. HE WAS SOLID FOR US. THE FIRST COUPLE GOALS, SOME BACK DOOR, NOT MUCH HE COULD DO SO HE WAS SOLID FOR US AND HAS BEEN SOLID FOR US ALL YEAR.
>> SCOTT LAUGHTON WITH A GOAL IN THE OVERTIME LOSS.
