"Whatever happened the last two years — I didn’t really have a chance to say thanks to them for what they did or whatever the Flyers did for me. When I came back that first game last season, that standing ovation was definitely something that I’ll remember for the rest of my life. Just thinking about it sometimes and watching the video again, I get some chills, that’s for sure. It was something that I’ve never tasted in my life — you know, having a standing ovation just for yourself. Usually it’s for the whole team. That was definitely on the top of all the things I’ve tasted in my life as a hockey player and they’re great fans."
