Darcy Kuemper, Anze Kopitar, and Jim Hiller 10/10 Post-Game Quotes
I mean personally I’ve been feeling good about my game. Every time I got in there for preseason I really like playing behind this group. They’re super predictable and make the reads pretty easy. You’ve just got to trust the boys. You know the firepower that we have in this room guys like obviously Kopi just putting the team on his back in the third. You know it’s going to come eventually. We had that belief in this room in the intermission and we went out and got the win.
Kuemper On The Captain:
He is the guy that we all look up to he’s played in so many big games and that’s just leadership. Things maybe aren’t going the way we want them to and then he just goes out there and gets one right away gets us back in it and then to get the game-winner and then to seal it with the hat-trick that’s pretty special.
Anze Kopitar on Darcy Kuemper:
I think we gave Darcy way too much action and world-class stops. Yeah, he definitely kept us in the game the first 40 minutes and we were able to pull one out for him.
Kopitar on the team's overall play:
Even though our game was not nearly as sharp as we wanted it to be we were down one goal going into the third period on the road and they played a couple of games already, this is our first so-called ‘real’ game so I mean you’re just trying to find something, really. And it’s one shot that can change the momentum of the game and luckily we found it in the third.
Jim Hiller on how he feels after tonight's game:
Drained. Yeah. One of those nights where you’re glad you have a goaltender. That’s one of those goalie wins but a win nonetheless.”
Hiller On Kuemper:
He kept us in it early. He kept us in it the middle and he kept us in it late,” Hiller said. “That means it gave us a chance to stay in the game and hang around and it’s exactly what we did.
Hiller On Kopitar’s Heroics:
We needed somebody besides the goalie, right? So the goalie was sure doing his job we needed to find somebody else who could also step up. It was Kopi. It often is. It has been for a long time. he’s not going to be able to do that every night nor is Darcy going to be able to do that every night so we’re going to need more from some other guys.
Hiller On What’s Next:
We had played so well in the preseason and we were playing so tight. So this caught us off guard a little. Give Buffalo full marks. First of all they played an outstanding game. So give them full marks. They made it extremely hard on us and we’ll get better. The positive thing for us is we didn’t have a good game and so we can play a lot better. Nobody remembers this when we get into April we’re fighting for those last few points to try and secure a playoff spot so we’ll just take it and move on for tonight.
