Berube: Flyers need to be 'mentally stronger'
/Flyers head coach Craig Berube reflected on his team’s Game 7 loss to the New York Rangers with The Philadelphia Daily News.
“We need to be mentally stronger,” Berube said, looking ahead to next season. “We need to play a more aggressive game. We got faster this year, but we've got to get faster."
The players have been told what’s expected.
"We made it clear that everybody has to come into camp in shape," Berube said. "It can't be average, it can't be just above average. It has to be exceptional. And they all know that . . . We need to get to another level defensively and that's just everybody being accountable every moment they're on the ice. A lot has to do with just pressure and skating and work.
"We have to change people. Because they've done it a certain way for a long while. You've got to change 'em, you've got to get on 'em more. But they've got to want to make it happen."
