Flyers fume over Burish's hit

The Flyers still were angry Monday about the hit Adam Burish laid on defenseman Lukas Krajicek in Game 1.

"I personally didn't like the hit," Philadelphia coach Peter Laviolette said. "It appeared to me to be from behind and a dangerous hockey hit."

Burish didn't see it the same way.

"Obviously, I don't want to see a guy get hurt and lay there like that, but this is the Finals and anything goes out there," Burish said.

Veteran Flyers forward Ian Laperriere warned the playoffs is no time to seek revenge.

"You have to suck it up and there's always next year," Laperriere said. "I'm not saying I'm going to do anything next year, but it's the playoffs.

"You just can't worry about what happened last game because it might cost you two minutes or four minutes and you might lose a game because of it.

"I didn't see the hit. We talked about it at dinner last night and I guess it was really dirty. The league should take care of that, but that's another story."

Krajicek didn't practice Sunday but played Monday.

More at ease: Most of the Hawks admitted they were nervous before Game 1 and felt it contributed to their poor play.

"It's a big stage and a long week just to sit there and think about it," Jonathan Toews said. "Now I think as team we feel we're back in the routine and can focus on just playing hockey and the small details."

Adam Burish felt there was a noticeable difference in the dressing room before Game 2.

"I could sense just from the whole game that everyone was a little tense, everybody was a little edgy," Burish said, looking back at Game 1. "We didn't have the same feel we had in the previous series.

"Just (Monday), seeing the guys and talking to the guys, a lot of them said they slept so much better last night, they feel so much better and so much looser."

Won't back down: Dustin Byfuglien plans to go at it with Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger in front of the net for as long as it takes.

"I'll be there until the end of it," Byfuglien said.

Byfuglien didn't have a point in Game 1 and was active physically with Pronger most of the night.

"I still think he was a factor last game," Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "He finishes checks. I think the player who receives it knows he's around.

"We didn't get the puck to the net when he was there. He was there sometimes when the puck didn't arrive."

Tip-ins: Injured left winger Andrew Ladd (upper body) skated briefly before Monday morning's full team workout, but he wasn't available for the second straight game. - The Flyers scratched James van Riemsdyk and Ryan Parent.
