Anze Kopitar & Jim Hiller 11/21 Post-Game Quotes
On the flow of tonight’s game, playing against a similar, stylistic team
It’s almost playing against yourself, you know? We were just trying to exploit the weaknesses. I thought it was obviously a hard-fought game. They have a big, strong lineup and it was a physical game. We got the one point, but we’re not satisfied with that. We’ll try to get back on track on Monday.
On the team’s mentality when going down a goal
You’re down a goal, so you’re one play away from tying it up, so there’s certainly no need to panic. Just keep on going, keep on plugging away and eventually we got the tying goal.
On what he feels needs to improve on the power play
I mean, we’re getting chances. Last night, we got some good chances, tonight we got some good chances, so just keep on battling, keep on going. Maybe try and simplify a little bit, try to get more stuff to the net and create off of that, and just work at it.
On if he feels like just getting one to go could open things up
That’s what we’re looking for. We’ve got to get the first one and just go from there.
Jim Hiller
On his assessment right now of the power play
Overall, execution. On the 5-on-3, they had one good block on Juice’s first shot and then Kuzy found him through the seam on the second one, good save. Yeah, just not good enough. Not good enough execution.
On the five-forward look with Adrian Kempe playing at the point
Well, I think the power play has struggled in general, so I’m not going to single one guy out, but I think the group of five of them clearly are not getting it done as constructed. We’ve talked about it a few times, so that’s something we’re thinking about and it doesn’t look good. It’s cost us games. So, when you get to that point, at some point, you might have to make some changes.
On the frustration of a thriving penalty kill, compared to a struggling power play
I think we went through that for the most part last season, until Kuzy arrived. Then, we really got going when Juice went on the point in the last four or five games of the season and then into the playoffs, so, that’s when the power play was at its best, it was one of the best in the league from the trade deadline on. So you say, well, it doesn’t make sense. Well, it’s clearly not going now, so there probably has to be some changes made.
On who else he might see as a power-play option at the point, if he moved Clarke to the top unit
Yeah, that’s a good question. I think when you look at it, Dewey and Clarkie are the two, power-play D that you have here right now. So that poses a bit of a problem.
On the shorthanded goal tonight and Joel Armia’s read to get the goal
You would have expected to get one on the power play, right? You’re not trying to expect to get one on the penalty kill, which has been very good lately, we’ve shut teams down. That’s just a really big moment, you know? Army saw the play develop and he jumped up to join Mooresie. Sometimes on a penalty kill, late you’ve got to score, but sometimes you just defer, you go off the ice, or you shoot the puck down. In that moment, they went for it and got a good result.
On the defensive pairing changes, swapping Edmundson and Dumoulin
I did [like what I saw], yeah I did. We wanted to try to hard match them against Pastrnak’s line and I thought they did a really good job as a pair, a little bit like Mikey and Gavy did last year, with Eddie on the right. They did their job.
