from Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer,
Left winger Simon Gagne yesterday pointed to a players-only meeting in October as a reason the Flyers turned around their season….
Gagne said that the meeting was “relaxed” and that players talked about taking responsibility for their specific positions.
“And from there, everybody has played better,” he said. “There was no panic. It might be better if [the losing streak] happened in the beginning of the season than the end of the season.”
Kimmo Timonen was extremely vocal at the meeting, and captain Mike Richards “kind of closed it,” Gagne said. “A couple of guys spoke up, and from there, things are going well. We didn’t have [another] meeting yet, so that’s a good sign.”
