Cody Ceci & Jim Hiller 1/29 Post-Game Quotes
Cody Ceci
On a frustrating result tonight in Buffalo
Frustrating game. They got a lucky bounce early and we had some looks and just didn’t capitalize. We didn’t play terrible but we’ve still got to find a way to win the game.
On the disallowed goal and what was seen and heard after it
I’m not too sure. I mean, we were talking about a little bit after the fact and we thought that he had enough time to reset. I’m not sure on the ruling orhow that all goes. Our guys felt like it was still goal interference, I think.
On how big a turning point that could have been in the game for the Kings
The game’s a different game if we get that one to go and the game’s 2-1. We get some more momentum. Unfortunately, it shifts their way right afterwards and then we’re chasing the game even more. I think if we get that one in our favor, then it is a different game, but it’s the way goes sometimes.
On having an unlucky one go in off his skate and how he rests after those moments
Yeah, you have to. I mean, there’s so much game left after that, you don’t want to play terrible rest of the game. Yeah, it’s a bad feeling. Obviously a lucky bounce by them, but still a bad feeling.
Jim Hiller
On his takeaways from tonight’s game
You can’t get down two. I didn’t like……there was lots……I shouldn’t say that. There was lots I didn’t like and it wasn’t all our team. I can tell you that.
On the explanation he received on the disallowed goal
They called it a goal on the ice, that was clear. Then, they decided it wasn’t a goal on the ice, by huddling. Somebody said, I believe, that the goalie didn’t have a chance to reset after Perrs was in the crease.
On the decision process behind challenging the play
I saw the goal on the ice, so I was pretty comfortable. I saw the goalie reset. Pretty comfortable that if the goal was going to get taken away, that Buffalo would probably have to take a look at it. If they thought he didn’t have a chance to reset, they would have to challenge it. That was what was going through my head, but I don’t decide that.
On the team’s pushback after going down 3-0 and having chances to get back in it
We had some really good chances. I think we had 10 chances in the second period, hit the crossbar, the one that we just discussed and there were plenty of others. I really liked how we played in second specifically, we just can’t get down by two. It’s hard for our team. We’ve created a lot of chances, had a lot of shots, attempts all that stuff, layer them on. Can’t get down by two, unfortunately, our margin for error is just thin.
On if he felt the team got enough quality and second/third chances
Goalie did a pretty good job squeezing, he didn’t kick out a lot of rebounds. A lot of it, whether he saw it or not, ended up in here and his arms and different spots. There wasn’t a lot coming off his pads.
On the frustration in taking a bench minor, denying a 6-on-5 opportunity
That was one of the things where we made mistake. That was one of the times where you could say, as I go through the game mentally, there were some things that we didn’t do well. That can happen. There’s a lot of confusion going on at that time and unfortunately we make a poor decision. I would say this, I’ve watched that happen plenty of times, there’s no impact on the play. I’ve seen that one not be called a number of times as well.

**POLL QUESTION GAME**
Just 1 question for this early start game:
What will be the final score of the game? Doesn't matter which team, just the score
BUT also guess the winner for a bonus point if correct
- you may NOT REPEAT A SCORE GUESS
You can take 4 guesses of the final score - each guess must be unique
(ex: 3-2 Kings, 4-1 Flyers but you CANNOT also guess 3-2 Flyers or 4-1 Kings)
so...1 point for correct score guess, 1 bonus point for correct winner
