Warren Foegele & Jim Hiller 11/24 Post-Game Quotes
On how the Kings stuck with it tonight and found a way to get the victory
I think it’s just sticking to our identity, check for our chances, stay above. It was a resilient effort from our group, a bunch of penalties, able to kill those, and then the power play gets us a goal. Usually, when you win the special-teams battle, you’ve got a higher chance to win game. Happy for our power play there at the end, Clarkie, to help us get the win there.
On his goal tonight and how he saw that play develop
Yeah, it was two incredible passes, one by Eddy, passing it to Army weak side, a lot of poise by him to make that play. I think we can kind of worked on it last practice, try to maybe make more plays instead of the chip and chase always, but a great play by Eddy and then Army made a fabulous pass to me. My only job was just to beat my guy and I thought I could do that. Fortunate that it went in.
On the importance of sticking with the process when things aren’t flowing offensively
It’s super difficult. It’d be a lie to say that a couple of us aren’t fighting confidence when the puck isn’t going in, but we’ve got an experienced group in here that kind of keeps everyone in check. At the end of the day, we want to win games and the best way to win games, for us, is the way we play and don’t give the other team chances. The more we do that, we give ourselves better chance to win, and you just have to stick with the process and keep grinding to win.
On Darcy Kuemper’s continued importance for the group, especially in low-scoring games
Super solid. He gives us so much confidence to our group when we do make a mistake, we know that he’s a brick wall back there and he’s going to cover up for us. He’s been tremendous and he’s a great teammate as well.
Jim Hiller
On finding a way to get a win tonight at home, while scoring a power-play goal
Well, we probably would’ve won a few more if we’d had one or two in some of those other games. The game, to me, is very similar to probably about five of them here that we’ve had that maybe we’ve come up short by a goal. You could be talking about, man, he didn’t get the goal and it was a hard fought game and what’s wrong, but when the puck goes in, now we’re celebrating the results. So, that’s how important it is. The power play, at 5-on-5, it was tough to get anything going on out there, for both teams and the special teams are critical. Look at our penalty kill, it’s been really good, right? They’ve got an excellent power play. So our penalty kill and special teams makes a difference.
On scoring 5-on-4 and seeing Brandt Clarke make a play to win the game
I don’t know that we were particularly sharp, they killed really well, but it only takes one good play, right? Sometimes it comes at the very end. So a really, really good play on the entry, Clarkie unloads and here we are, happy.
On Darcy Kuemper’s performance tonight in helping to secure the two points
Darcy played really well. I thought Meriläinen played really well, so I thought both goalies were good. We’re pretty used to Darcy being our backbone and so for us, it’s just kind of what we expect. We expect him to be good, to be good to give us a chance and Forsy’s done the same thing for us. Again, I don’t want to discount how Meriläinen played, I thought, Kempe had two or three really good looks in the first period and made a couple saves in the second and that’s where Kuemper had to be good, in the second. Third period, we did a really good job, he didn’t have much.
On seeing Warren Foegele score and if that can be a sign of things to come for him
Yeah, I sure hope so. He penalty killed really well too, he was important there. I thought, Foegs got the goal, I thought the two players who really jumped out at me tonight were Foegs and Phil Danault. I thought those guys really had impactful games. Penalty kill, playing against Stutzle’s line. We had a tough time in the faceoff circle, Phil was in there in the end, some big wins. Those two players in particular, who would tell you they haven’t probably felt as good about their game as they’d like to, they were really important for us tonight.
On seeing Jordan Spence tonight after the game
I love Spenny, it’s great to see him. He’s one of those guys that brings a lot of life and energy to the locker room, so everybody, we all shared a lot of laughs with him. He’s over in Ottawa now, he’s their player and we wish him well. I’m not going to talk about anything beyond that, outside of how much I miss being around him, because he was the guy that made a lot of people laugh.
