"To me it wasn't a big deal until Doug Collins went crazy on air... 3 years after that, we (Lue, Iverson) were probably still mad at each other, but after that, we became really good friends.”

Danny Briere spoke as a guest with Preston & Steve about Trevor Zegras
“We believe he’s a player that was maybe not used to the skill that he had in Anaheim. He was kind of pushed to the side a little bit.”

Rick Tocchet was tough on his team for not showing enough will in two losses this weekend.

Why did the Flyers send 2024 1st-rounder Jett Luchanko back to the OHL?
"It was time for him to start playing high minutes, more of an offensive role, get back to playing power play, killing penalties, facing top opposition... because that’s what we expect down the road for him.”

Owen Tippett has hit the ground running with 5 goals in 6 games.
