Anze Kopitar & Todd MacLellan 4/13/22 Post Game Quotes
Anze Kopitar
On the challenge of finding their footing right off the start tonight
Yeah, obviously they came out strong and we didn’t match the intensity. Next thing you know, we’re down 4-0. It’s obviously the start that we can’t afford and that’s about it.
On the importance of moving past games quickly after a game like that
We’re still very much in the hunt, obviously, and definitely not the performance that we wanted tonight, especially at this time of the year. We’ve got to look at this one, but at the same time, obviously correct stuff and make sure that this is not going to repeat, because it is crunch time for our team and looking ahead to Saturday.
On the concern with the starts of periods, looking especially at the first
It’s a variety of different things. A 4-0 start is a lot more concerning than the start of the third period. I’m not saying that the start of the third period was acceptable, but there were things in the second where it looked like the team that we need to be going forward. If you look at the overall picture tonight, they’re a playoff team, they’re at the top of the league and we did not look like a playoff team. We have another six games left on our schedule and we’ve got to make sure that all six of them are better than that.
On the team’s ability to push back throughout the season and respond
It’s not going to do us any good if we sulk about this one. Like I said, it’s going to be addressed for sure, we’re going to look at some stuff, but then again, there’s no time to look back at this one now. We have to focus ahead on the next game and make sure when we come home, that we look like a playoff team.
Todd McLellan
On his impressions from tonight’s game
We didn’t have anything, we can’t play that way against this team. We found some legs in the second, but then we made a lot of mistakes and it ended up in our net. I think I’ve answered all of the questions you could possibly ask.
On how you move on from tonight’s game
Just like that. Exactly like that.
McLellan on it taking an entire team move past this game
Yeah, like I said, I can’t answer the questions, I’ve already explained the game. We can put earrings on a pig if we want, but it’s not going to make it any better. That was awful and we move on. We get an opportunity to play more games, so good for us and we have to be better.

Tonight’s Poll Question:
I’m trying for the least jinx-y question I can think of:
Part 1 - Which player is going to score the SECOND Kings goal of the game?
Part 2 - Which player is going to score the SECOND Blue Jackets goal of the game?
You can take 3 guesses per part, and one of your guesses can be “Kings/BJs will score fewer than 2 goals”
1 point for each correct answer (2 points possible)
Previous Game’s Winners
Congratulations to the following posters who correctly guessed within +/-2 of 32 shots for the Kings and/or 35 shots by the Avs. Special congratulations to pray4mojo for getting all 6 available points. Chateau Bow Wow, srm1105 and forum gold all also got 5 of 6. Who would have thought with that crazy score that the SOG totals would be very average for both teams?
