65 Quotes by Robert Esche

We played a solid 60 minutes tonight. Tonight we put everything together. I didn't have to do much. The guys were awesome. It looked like a real Flyers game.

We had almost 60 (blocks or misses), and that was a bigger problem for us. We missed the net on too many shots that all year we hit the net on. We shot it high and wide off the wing where we had been accurate all year.

We're embarrassed, dejected, stunned. To a man, we know we can do a lot better and we will. I don't think anybody has to say anything to get anybody going. We have a big job in front of us. We owe it to all our fans that were watching the game back home to come home and to come home strong.

You have to be very calm, especially in the most clutch situations in a game. If the other team sees that a goalie is calm and relaxed in the heat of battle, that's a pretty intimidating thing. They know they are not breaking nor cracking him.

We just have to learn to play from the net out defensively instead of worrying so much about offense.

We've played pretty well against them this year. At this time of the year, every game can go one way or the other.

We've been pushing ourselves to the 11th hour all season, and now is no different.

We've got a big job in front of us right now. We owe it to all the people that were watching this game back home to come home strong.

You feel the pressure of the city, the pressure of your teammates and the pressure of the organization to play to the best. Pressure is not a bad word. It's a great word. It gives you tunnel vision and lets you focus on the task at hand.
