They said it

"It's embarrassing to get beat 6-0 in your own building. I know we are all proud to wear this jersey, but we have to start playing like we are proud. I don't know how much further rock bottom is, but it's got to be pretty close, so we've got to find a way to play a simple game and keep pushing forward." -- Red Wings forward Luke Glendening
"It feels like we haven't won in this building forever. They come out strong, and they're a big, heavy team. I remember a bunch of overtimes against them. We did a good job of closing it down late." -- Flyers forward Scott Laughton on winning in Columbus
