On how tonight’s game turned from a tight-checking game to a shootout in the third period
From our end of it, we made some mistakes. Shot went into our own net, we weren’t sharp to start the third, took a penalty when we didn’t need to and they scored there. At the other end, we kept throwing pucks at the net and we finally created by using our shot from the blueline, instead of passing it off to the side, and we were hungry around the net. That was our end of the goals against and the goals for.
On seeing Dustin Brown get off the schneid with a big goal for the Kings
He’s an important part of our team, he’s been snakebit for a while, frustrated, moved up and down the lineup. To get one, hopefully that gets him going. He’s a proud, proud veteran player, longtime King, he carries that with him and it’s hard. Maybe now, he’s a little bit free to relax. It’s hard to believe we’re talking about a guy that’s spent that many games in the NHL, but it happens.
On Drew Doughty’s energy and impact
27 minutes, pretty solid, calms things down, good vision, willing to shoot the puck. He wasn’t on the ice, I don’t believe through the eye-test right now, for many scoring chances against. We’re happy to have him back.
On his comfort level with Doughty’s game
Yeah, and overtime, he’s good in that situation. We rolled two or three defensemen for a full five minutes, you rack up the minutes quite quickly there, but we were comfortable with him. We knew we would be and now it’s sustaining that once the wear and the tear gets back on the body.
On coming back from three goals down to force overtime
Well, it doesn’t come easy, it doesn’t happen often. Momentum is a strange thing, you can gain and lose it quickly and we’ve been on the other side of something like that too where it gets away on you, it’s like a big snowball just rolling down the hill. Fortunately for us, it was in our favor, but we couldn’t finish the night.
On a lack of panic following the disallowed goal
Actually, I think that moment, that actually kept the momentum going for us, we can do this, it’s happening for us, let’s keep it going. Kopi did a good job, he made his rounds around the bench, let’s go, because you could feel it. He did a good job there too.
