Bartulis surprised by goal fest

Oskars Bartulis thinks the Flyers could have done with a little more rest before the finals.

"I don't think we had a lot of time to rest before this game. We spent that time watching video of how the Hawks play."

"Either team could have won the first game. Unfortunately we lost. We must prepare for the next game."

"Both teams started the game carefully, but then the goals started coming. 11 goals in a final is interesting. Usually there are that many goals in the whole series. That was a surprise for me."

The Flyers pay special attention to special teams in practices.

"We mainly work with powerplay and penaltykill in practices. As the first game showed, they worked for the most part and that's important in the playoffs."

"We played the game more in their zone, but both teams failed to play good defense. We need to watch some video and make conclusions."
