Danny Briere Gave Motivational Speech During Game 6, But Ville Leino Didn’t Listen
It makes sense, then, that he spoke up and gave his team a speech as they faced a must-win final third period during Game 6 against the Buffalo Sabres.

“I don’t really listen that much always. I’m in my own little world out there, but I remember he was giving a speech out there. I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t really listen to it. I’m sure it was good.”
Leino scored the game-winning goal in OT, instituting a new “ignore Danny” policy in the Flyers dressing room.
