On the disappointment in that performance, in an important game
Well, I balance that with how well we?ve played in a lot of important games, teams are going to have that. It?s disappointing, I?m not going to go on a big rant, it?s disappointing. I think today?s game is a combination of the last four seconds in Saturday?s game, and the first 14 seconds in today?s game. We opened the door for them on the last shift on Saturday and they took advantage on the first shift today. After that, they pushed us out of the game with work ethic, execution, faceoffs, you name it, in every aspect of the game. Am I disappointed? Yeah, I?m disappointed, but there?s a whole locker room of guys that are disappointed. We?re all in it together, we?ll stew in it a little bit, but we?re moving on, that?s what we?ve got to do at this time of the year.
On the point in the game he felt it got away
We weren?t good from minute one on, we were chasing it, there was doubt right away. Where did it, not necessarily begin, but where was the dagger? Probably the blocked shot, Eberle?s goal, we had a little bit of momentum.
On if he saw anything coming into the game suggesting that type of performance
I think there?s a lesson for our team to learn, because we controlled the other game pretty well, talking about Saturday?s game, and we didn?t finish it the way we needed to, and that?s happened more than once this year. You think about a playoff series, we?re talking about inexperience. You do that in a playoff series, you give somebody life and the other team takes advantage. Now, we take a day off, we skate in the morning, expect to have a little life, jump, energy and some excitement and none of that existed, for whatever reason, and we get scored on 14 seconds in. Really, the goal was we were lazy, we got beat up the ice and it just carried all the way through.
On his takeaways coming out of tonight, and headed into Edmonton
Well, all 60 minutes. I think, when you lose 6-1 and it likely could have been worse, there?s not a lot you?re going to take from positives out of it. We were beat in every facet of the game today. We?ll look at it, we?ll show the players some things, we?ll get them to use it as some teaching opportunities and then we?ll move on, that?s all we can do. I don?t know what the outcome will be in Edmonton, I just know what we?re living right now wasn?t good enough.
On his 1,000th game tonight and being honored before the game
The opportunity to be recognized was special. I think that the Kings, and all the NHL teams, but the Kings do it pretty well. I?ve been here for Carts, Kopi, Dewy, Quickie and many others, so I?m grateful for that.
